winter sports

The snow has been dumping in the mountains and we are taking full advantage this weekend - Sunday February, 23 is 97 Rock Day at Bluewood and you can enjoy a full day of skiing or snowboarding for just $29!

The one event that I have been looking forward to the most at the winter games is Curling. The combination of chess, bocci ball, shuffle board and a household chore all together on a sheet of ice. Sounds weird, right? Well, it kind of is. At the same time, it takes a high level of precise skill and focus and is fun to watch...unless you don't understand the game. Wondering how to play? Here is a rundown of how the game works.

The USA brought their largest delegation of athletes in Olympic history to Sochi and it didn't take long to claim a gold medal. Congrats to Sage Kotsenburg for going HUGE in the inaugural snowboard slopestyle event at the Winter Olympics and bringing home the first place hardware!

The Sochi 2014 Olympics got underway on Friday night and the highlight of the entire games already happened. It didn't come during either the figure skating or snowboarding events, but instead when Bob Costas name dropped the most controversial Russian 'band' ever - Pussy Riot. We bring you this Vine remix of the quote because we're doods and still laugh at farts and when someone says 'boobies'. R

The Super Bowl is a couple weeks away and the Winter X-Games start tomorrow, but I am just as excited for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics that begin on February 6. Here are just four reasons why.

This past weekend I headed up to Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Sandpoint, ID for an annual weekend ski trip. On Saturday, Deschutes Brewery was holding their 'Base Camp For Beer Fanatics'. One event apart the festivities was 'Race to the Base'. It was open to anyone who wanted to take a chance at racing down the mountain with a full cup of Deschutes Black Butte Porter beer in the Schweitzer Camp Cup. This was my point of view...Going down the mountain in some EXTREME fog!

Unless you were really paying attention you probably missed the winter 2012 X Games this past weekend. Even with the second largest attendance in Winter X history, there seemed to be very little hype this year for most of the event. Sunday night's final events in Snowmobile Best Trick and Men's Superpipe definitely made up for that.
