In the past 10 years, manufacturers have begun to narrow their focus so that each consumer can find a product that will not only fit their budget, but also their ability level. Ten years ago a person may have had one option, per company, that truly was a suitable ski. And for snowboarders? Forget it, very few options, sometimes as few as one or two boards per ability level (beginner, intermediate, advanced.) Today companies will often have upwards of a half-dozen choices for each level…or more.

The runaway growth of snowboarding has slowed to a mere canter, few can argue that the majority of youngsters now entering the world of alpine sports want to do so on a snowboard. While the ski industry has bought itself some time with hot-looking shape skis with upturned tips that go fakey in the terrain park, the writing’s been on the wall since Salamon, K2, and Rossignol, and other brand icons bought themselves snowboard companies of their own.

National Standard Race Program Finds Its Roots In The 60s. It was the brainchild of SKI Magazine editor- in-chief John Fry. Seeing the growth of skiing in the United States, but with no real outlets for the competition aspect of the sport, Fry adopted a universal handicap scoring system that was being used in France. In France at the time, ski instructors were rated by the percentage they lagged behind the time recorded by the fastest French ski instructor.

When I moved to the High Country to go to college, I did so with the intention of leaving my skiing career behind me forever. As a former ski racer, I had the opportunity to ski nearly every type of terrain this continent has to offer, from Maine to Mt. Hood, from Quebec to New Mexico, and several dozen places in-between. I’d spent every season as a ski racer traveling across the continent to compete, and lived for two years in the Mecca of aggressive alpine skiing, Crested Butte, CO. I thought I’d seen it all when it came to North American skiing.

Now firmly established as an annual tradition in the High Country, Choose & Cut season signals the official start of Christmas festivities for many families. Both local residents and out-of-towners take advantage of the numerous Choose & Cut farms throughout the area to pick the perfect showcase for their treasured family ornaments.

Our senior adults in the High Country can tell you what winter meant to them as youngsters – and it’s a far cry from what our children know as winter today.
