Join us as we recount our ski adventures, from local slopes to the X Games in Aspen. We discuss snow conditions, favorite runs, and the evolution of extreme sports, including those mind-boggling helicopter tricks. We also dive into a controversial "Top 10" ski resort list and offer some travel tips for those looking to experience the Roaring Fork Valley. Plus, we share some funny mishaps and great local food finds along the way.

We also take a deep dive into safety and discuss the "She was 5. You were going 50." signs on the slopes and the tragic story behind them and the Snow Angel Foundation (www.snowangelfoundation.org). It's a sad topic but also very important to discuss and talk about ski safety.
