Downhill skiing requires a clear head and quick reflexes; being intoxicated can adversely affect both of these things. Skiing is fun, but it can also be deadly.When it comes to actually setting legal boundaries on skiing while intoxicated, policies vary dramatically from country to country.

Thanks to the millions of baby boomers hitting retirement age, powder hounds in their 60s and 70s (and beyond) are an increasingly common sight on the slopes.

But it turns out some ski resorts are better than others when it comes to catering to senior skiers' needs.
Owl's Head has officially joined the Indy Pass, a fantastic news for Townships locals and travelers alike. It remains fiercely independent since Fred Korman opened it in 1965 with just three lifts.
As The New York Times reported, the average cost of a single-day lift ticket in the U.S. hit an astonishing $250 in the 2024 season. And, again, that's the average. It's also only the cost of a ticket, so you'll still need to pay for food and drinks, lessons (if you need them), and a hotel if you plan to stay overnight.
"It is a tremendous honor to welcome the world's top ski patrol delegates back to Big White. This congress is a testament to our commitment to mountain safety and the incredible work of ski patrollers worldwide."
Both avid and casual skiers know that winter requires preparation. If you want to ski as many days as possible, you must have a game plan. After all, skiing is an expensive sport, so budget is typically one of the top considerations. But before you book flights, hotels, and lift tickets, or decide if you want to invest in an Epic Pass or Ikon Pass, you'll need to identify which ski resorts you want to explore over the course of a few months.
Henry Crown was born as Henry Krinsky in Chicago in 1896 to Lithuanian immigrant parents. With just an eighth‑grade education, he and his brothers founded the Material Service Corporation in 1919, selling gravel, sand and building materials to the booming Midwest construction industry. By the late 1950s, Crown had used that business as a springboard into defense contracting, gaining controlling interest in General Dynamics in 1959.
