I love the Pacific Northwest. It has mountains, hiking, hot springs, and people who live for the outdoors. It also has some amazing skiing, or if you are like me, snowboarding. One, maybe less talked about Mountain is Mount Bachelor in Oregon. But this post isn’t about the mountain. It’s about a town. Bend. A town, located in Central Oregon …
No one ever talks about Mount Bachelor when they talk about riding powder on the west coast. But they should. I think one of the main hold ups is there is no resort at the mountain. The closest town is Bend, which is a 30-minute pretty scenic drive, but the town has great food and the trails at Bachelor are …
Heading to Colorado in the winter but not sure if Vail or Beaver Creek is right for you? Which one is better? Both are owned by Vail resorts, and both are, therefore, on the Epic Pass. I mean honestly, both are expensive and 1-day lift ticket prices at the window are $200 a person. That’s what makes the Epic Pass …
Snowbasin resort very quickly became one of our favorite mountains in Utah. Though the first day I had my doubts. The weather was terrible and unspeakably cold with flurries of snow smacking you in the face. You couldn’t see two feet in front of you, making the trails extremely disorienting. But that’s the risk you take when you travel to …

The town of Mammoth Lakes in the eastern sierra of California is a great place to stay for those that like to explore outdoors. With natural hot springs, hiking, Mammoth Mountain ski resort, and some great nearby towns to check out, it is a great spot no matter the time of year. Depending on the time of year, these are …
Utah is one of my favorite places in North America. It has everything an outdoor adventurer could want, from the 5 National Parks in the south to mountains, like Powder Mountain, AKA Pow Mow, in the north. You can hike the slot canyons one day and shred some powder the next. But if you are looking for a place where …
Mammoth Mountain Ski resort is the place to go snowboarding in the eastern Sierra area of California. It also boasts some of the best snowmaking in the country and allows the mountain to open earlier than some of the other area mountains with a ski season that typically ranges from November to June. So, whether you are itching to get …
Utah is one of those special places in North America that is an outdoor adventurer’s dream. With the Mighty 5 National Parks and some of the best ski resorts in the United States, there are so many options. Heading to Utah, but can’t decide which mountains to visit? These are the best Utah ski resorts to help you plan your winter adventure. …
When people think of the eastern sierra mountains, they don’t often think about June Lake. But this small town in the mountains has a lot to offer at any time of the year. I highly recommend visiting between the summer/fall rush and the winter ski season. Things are extremely quiet and though amenities, such as a lot of dining options, …
