Jay Peak is an integral part of the conSKIerge family history. Many years ago we finally manned up and drove the extra hour to reach Jay from Boston. Until that moment, Sugarbush and Mad River Glen in the Mad River Valley in Vermont were our prime destinations. While our family continued to honor those two […]

It’s no secret to anyone that knows me that I love gear. Specifically ski gear. While we’re still working on this years gift guide there are a few great finds that we’re eying for this winter season (some of them on sale right now!) Interested in buying new skis? Finally going to try out ski […]

If you haven’t already, it not too late to buy passes for the upcoming winter season. Don’t think of seasons passes as only for the rich or for those who will ski one area all season. If you are planning a trip to one destination for a week or more it may be cheaper for […]

This is particularly important given that you can save a buttload of money by investing in passes for next year NOW.  Single area season […]

February 18, 2022 What is skiing without the fierce debates as to which hill has the best terrain?! For diehard northeastern skiers, this debate often centers on Sugarbush vs. Stowe. These two iconic Vermont resorts share the spine of the Green Mountains and are separated by only 37 miles of the winding, frost heaved Route […]

Groundhog Day, 2022 We skiers have learned over the years you take the good with the bad. When the skiing is great we know at any moment conditions could change for the worse. And when conditions suck, we can remain amazingly hopeful for that big storm that will change our fortunes overnight. But the winter […]

While we wait for the next storm cycle to come through the Wasatch mountains sharing some recently released ski shorts and movies. Enjoy! Girl Crush follows five female skiers set out for a winter camping and skiing adventure – featuring Mali Noyes, Mary McIntyre, Jessica Baker, Lani Bruntz and Nicole Jorgenson. Love to see the […]

Most of us have been there – we work hard and crash into a ski vacation. We rush to the airport and catch a flight that is two hours late landing at our destination. We dive into the rental car; drive too far and once in the mountains we down a few celebratory drinks and […]
