Ski Instructor's Confidential: Instructor gets silent treatment on tour
Several years ago, I was asked by the ski school director to act as an "ambassador" to the resort by giving a brief tour of our village to a group of first-time skiers. Since we were always looking for ways to entice new skiers, I happily agreed. On a clear Tuesday morning, a large tour bus pulled up in front of the administration building. Before climbing on board, the resort concierge gave me brief instructions regarding how I was to conduct the tour, points of interest to highlight, etc. I ascended the steps of the bus and turned to address the group. Inside, facing me were 50 enthusiastic new skiers, ready to begin their ski vacation. I asked the bus driver to cruise slowly around the village, as I described the most prominent landmarks and a bit of their history. Since the points of interest were outside, I spent most of my time looking and speaking out of the windows as I pointed to them in the distance. This went on for almost an hour, before we returned to the a Several years ago, I was asked by the ski school director to act as an

Ski helmets add bling for fashionable twist
DENVER - Dareece Saca, a statuesque former computer programmer with a long blond ponytail, grew up skiing without ever wearing a helmet. She joked to a friend, "I'll never wear a helmet unless it's crystallized like a Judith Leiber bag." When she started skiing in the Lake Tahoe area with a helmet covered in sparkling crystals attached one-by-one by hand, people kept stopping her to compliment her, and soon her business Ice Couture was born. Ice Couture's crystal-covered helmets will be sold in time for next season, with prices ranging from around $200 for simpler designs to up to $2,000 for Swarovski crystal helmets. The bling designs include pink camouflage and a skull and crossbones. "Skiing is becoming more fashionable," she said. "Everyone has designer goggles. Especially for kids, you want them to want to wear their helmets. If you get attention for wearing a helmet, it's fun for them. It's an accessory." Besides stepping up safety features, mainstream hel Besides stepping up safety features, mainstream helmet makers are comi

4 lost snowboarders spend night in woods at Maine resort
CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine (AP) - Four teenagers who got lost while snowboarding at the Sugarloaf Mountain ski resort spent a cold night in dense woods and deep snow, but were found alive and well Monday. A group of three snowboarders, plus a fourth one who was on his own, went out of bounds late Sunday afternoon in an area known as the snowfields, a large section of ungroomed expert terrain on the backside of the mountain. The Sugarloaf ski patrol and the Maine Warden Service searched late into the night Sunday, communicating with the lost snowboarders by cell phone and text messages and coming within shouting distance. But the search was hampered by high winds, steep terrain, thick spruce woodlands and the more than 5 feet of snow that had fallen since Wednesday. The temperature fell to 22 degrees. Around midnight, searchers decided the conditions were too dangerous to continue. So they told the group of three snowboarders by cell phone th at they were suspending the search Group went out of bounds in a large area of expert terrain

Avalanche danger surges in Vail-area, Colo backcountry
VAIL, Colorado - Backcountry enthusiasts beware: Recent storms have piled snow on a weak snowpack, creating perilous conditions on many mountain slopes. More than 500 slides have been recorded in the past week alone, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. With the typically snowy month of March ahead, Avalanche Center forecasters are warning skiers, snowmobilers and all backcountry users that avalanche danger remains "considerable," with conditions ripe for more big, damaging slides in the coming week. "The last 10 days have been one of the most active periods we've seen in years," said Avalanche Center director Ethan Greene. "Avalanches have been breaking deeper, sometimes carrying the entire year's snowpack with them. We've seen some very big and destructive slides." So far this season, avalanches have claimed three lives in Colorado, including a backcountry skier who was caught by a slide n More than 500 slides recorded in past week in Colorado

Loveland artist helps skiers find their way
LOVELAND, Colo. - If you've ever found your way on the ski slopes, chances are you used Jim Niehues' work. When his mother gave her teenage son an oil-painting set during his three-month, on- his-back bout with nephritis, she stirred an artist. Fifty years later, Niehues is the world's most prolific ski-map illustrator, having hand-painted more than 220 resort trail maps. "You can always look at a trail map and tell it's his without looking for a name. You just feel like you are looking at the place," says Powderhorn ski area chief Steve Bailey, who recently enlisted Niehues to paint his area's trail map. "Jim is the Norman Rockwell of ski resorts." After almost 25 years of illustrating snowy slopes, 63-year-old Niehues (pronounced NEE-hews) still spends weeks on each painstakingly sketched and water-colored painting. The modest studio in the basement of his Loveland home is lined with sliding cabinets stocked with hundreds of his maps and illustrations. He pulls out his Jim Niehues is the world's most prolific ski-map illustrator, having h
