It seems like there are Starbucks everywhere… except when you need one. Like at the middle of the mountain when you’re skiing and you want cappuccino that doesn’t come from an instant hot chocolate machine. And that’s why I’m in awe of the world’s first ski-in ski-out Starbucks, which opened on Saturday in Squaw Valley, [...]

Skiers and snowboarders may not always get along on the mountain, but they can usually find one issue to agree on: the importance of having somewhere cool to go at the end of the day when the lifts close. Whether it’s for apres ski or apres snowboard, winter warriors need a place to get their [...]

Last month, Travelogged.com teamed up with Apres by CK Bradley, a new ski/snowboard clothing company with a distinctly retro flair, for a contest. We asked you to tell us your favorite spots for apres-ski in the comments and then chose the winner using a random number generator (pictured right). Well, lucky Libby was the 11th [...]

Thanks to the Apres by CK Bradley contest, I’ve got skiing on the brain. So when Yuli Linssen Kaminitz from EasyToBook.com offered to write a guest blog post about the top five ski resorts of Austria, I was very excited.

She has launched a new line of retro-inspired ski wear called Apres by [...]

At first, I wasn't that jealous that my friends Libby and Pete went to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler. No, I was happy for them (really!) and thrilled that Pete was willing to share his awesome photographs of the Olympic events they attended. Then I found out that they got to see Lindsey Vonn [...]

Right now, there's really only one place to be. And that's at the Winter Olympics.

(View From Stratton Mountain by Steve Soj/Flickr) Nicki and Greg Shalette were looking for a little luxury and a little skiing that wasn't too far from New York City. So last weekend, they drove to Manchester, VT, for a fantastic romantic getaway. They skied, they got massages, they dined, they hit the outlets and they [...]

After a day of skiing, I crave hot chocolate. And after a day of skiing at the luxurious Deer Valley Resort, I wanted a luxurious hot chocolate from the St. Regis Deer Crest Resort. I didn’t know exactly where it was; all I knew was that it opened last year and St. Regis hotels tend [...]

I knew that Utah's Deer Valley Resort had a reputation for being luxurious, but I wasn't sure exactly what to expect when I went there for the first time this morning. But it was apparent right away — when my husband was dropping me off with our skis so he could go park the car [...]
