Resi Stiegler was born on November 14, 1985 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming which is where she resides. She has been on the United States Ski Team for seven years now. She is an Alpine ski racer that first appeared in the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. She grew up in prime skiing country, and was skiing as early as 2 years old and racing as early as 6 years old. She took numerous medals in the Juniors Olympics, and finished second in 2002 at the Nor Am slalom. Resi Stiegler is an up and coming skier with a bright future, though she is working on coming back from injuries sustained during the last ski season, which included a damaged ligament in her right knee and a fractured left arm.
Where She Is Now -
Resi Stiegler was already well on her way to getting her first World Cup podium with three top finishes in the Slalom, but she ended up crashing during a world cup giant slalom in Australia during the 2007 and 2008 ski season. She slid off the course and under safety netting, then stopped against a tree. She fractured her left arm, damaged a ligament in her right knee, and sustained multiple bruises as well, which sidelined her for the remainder of the ski season. She participated in this year's summer ski camps, however, and is already ready to have an exciting season this year around. The upcoming 2008 and 2009 ski season is intended to be a positive one for Resi.
Career Highlights -
Resi Stiegler has represented the United States at every alpine ski racing level, including Topolino, Whistler cup, World Cup, Junior Worlds, world Championships as well as the Olympics. She has won Junior Worlds medals as well as United States Titles. She took her first World Cup in sestriere, Italy on December 15, 2002, and took 8th in the 2007 Worlds SL, 35th in GS and DNF-SL in super combined. In 2006, she took 11th in combined and 12th in the slalom. In 2005, she took 6th in the Worlds SL, 21st in CO., and 10th in combined in the 2003 Worlds when she was only 17 years old.
Interesting and Inspirational Quotes -
"It's disgusting. I've never eaten such bad food in my life. It's unfortunate because Italy is known for its good food and I've had good Italian food, but I guess they just don't know how to cook for a lot of people." - Resi Stiegler
"I think it's pretty pathetic that no one showed up, and that Italy couldn't really put on an event that like maybe Salt Lake City did. But that's not why we are here to race." - Resi Stiegler
"Lindsey's Gumby, so she should be good. Gumby, that's anyone that can do the stuff she does and not get hurt." - Resi Stiegler

This is a very well rounded resort that has become incredibly famous over the years. Although it is on the smaller side, there are plenty of different options for winter sports here. With 42 alpine trails, 10 kilometers set aside for snowshoeing and a special area for cross country skiing, this is the perfect place to indulge your love of skiing. The location near the town of Sundance also means you'll have access to plenty of other activities, and the restaurants and hotels in this area are definitely some of the best in Utah.
What You Need to Know:
The season opens a little late, during the first week in December and runs through early April. It's a little limited compared to other resorts in the area, but the quality of the runs and the low prices more than makes up for it. This is a resort dedicated mostly to skiing, so you won't find a lot of snowboarding opportunities here. There are a few however, and classes are available.
There are 3 lifts here and they move around 5000 people an hour. There may be a short wait, especially on weekends, but overall we found that they move along pretty quickly. They've made excellent use of the space that they have and even though it is a small resort, overcrowding really isn't a problem.
Please note that if you do plan on snowboarding here, leashes are required.
Tips for Beginners:
Sundance has some of the best instructors in the world and if you're serious about learning how to ski, this is definitely the place to start. You'll be working with Olympic level skiers and coaches and numerous different types of classes are available. One on one instruction is offered at reasonable prices and group lessons are also available.
Beginners will want to stay away from the Orange Bowl, but there are plenty of trails that are made for novices. 20% of the trails are meant for beginners, and they are very gentle. There is an outfitter on site to help you get all of your gear together and we found the prices to be very competitive. Early bird lessons are among the best to take here, especially if you want to save money and like a little more solitude. Overall, we found this to be a great place to learn, especially for kids and the frequent patrols on the trails make this a very safe place to ski and learn.
Sundance has All Season Passes available for Adult Unlimited, Adult Midweek, Junior Unlimited, Students, College, Midweek, Seniors and more.

This is one of the most popular resorts in Lake Tahoe and all of California. The resort just spent half a billion dollars in renovations and if you have never been here before, or you went a few years ago, this is definitely the time to come see it. The views are simply astounding and the runs are some of the best in the United States. There is a reason that so many people return here year after year, and chances are, after one trip, you'll feel the same way. We will definitely be going back to Heavenly soon.
What You Need to Know:
The sprawling resort stretches out over nearly 5000 acres, and there is more than enough room to have fun. They have the longest vertical drop in California, at more than 3500 feet, and the mountain is Lake Tahoe's highest. There are 95 trails, and 30 different lifts. If you're in a hurry, check out their high speed lifts that really get the job done. You won't have to wait long, even on busy days, and the management keeps everything moving very smoothly.
Heavenly Mountain opens up in Mid-November and you can ski through Mid-April. They definitely have some great trails here and the management does a stellar job of keeping everything well groomed. Even though there is usually plenty of snow, the resort does make their own to supplement it, particularly in bad seasons.
Tips for Beginners:
Definitely avoid Mott Canyons and Killebrew - these are two killer trails that are only suited for pros. Approximately 20% of the 95 trails are suitable for beginners and the lessons here are some of the best in the state. There is plenty of opportunity to learn how to snowboard or ski, and we found the lesson rates to be very reasonable.
The trainers are very patient and there are also special rates for beginners that should definitely be taken advantage of. Even though only a small part of their trails are devoted to beginners, they do go all out to make you feel at home.

What may be the largest factor making the Suicide Six Resort in Woodstock, Vermont as unique as it is, is when skiing history was made in 1934, when local residents rigged up a Model T Ford engine to power the first ever ski tow. Two years later, Suicide Six was opened by Bunny Bertram. This was originally a commercial ski area with a few trails, but it has grown to include 23 different trails, transporting skiers through two different chair lifts and a J bar. The opening for Suicide Six occurs in Mid December, and skiing and riding are augmented by Mother Nature for the following few months, along with snow guns and the help of superior levels of grooming.

Morgan Smyth was born in Northampton, MA on February 10, 1986. She started skiing at the age of 2, but was not entirely convinced she liked cross country skiing at first. Once she got into it, she became somewhat of a tiger, placing in numerous Junior World Championships. Now that she is moving through college, she has plans to work her way to the World Cup. She began her skiing racing career at the young age of nine, and gained an entirely new perspective on cross country skiing at this time. She may not have liked skiing in the past, but this is when it became a real passion for her, especially after working herself through numerous club and regional races, scoring herself a place at Styn, Norway's 2004 Junior Worlds. Her new head development coach, Matt Whitcomb was actually a member of the Bill Koch league at the same time, though only for a year. His final year in the league coincided with Smyth's first year. They had already built up some memories and some skiing history together before he was named as her head coach of development, in other words. A month after she returned from Junior Worlds she managed to earn three medals at the 2004 Junior Olympics, two bronzes and a gold medal.
Where She Is Now -

She has fully recovered from her training and seems to be progressive phenomenally. According to her head development coach, Matt Whitcomb, she is definitely going to be a factor at the U23 World Championships which are set to be held in France, and she will also definitely be shining at the World Cup starts which are being held in Whistler, where she will more than likely see her first World Cup.
Career Highlights -
Morgan Smyth has been skiing since the age of 2, but has a limited professional record. In 2006 she placed 7th in the FR sprint in the Junior Worlds. Following the Junior Words she took 3 different medals in the 2006 Junior Olympics, including a gold and two bronze metals. She is also a three time junior worlds racer at this point.
