Hey fellow Bloobyrds. It’s been a long while since I posted anything new and although that’s been in large part due to the fact that snow is just beginning to fall again, the major reason is that I’ve been occupied by my new full-time gig. That’s right…somebody thought well enough of this little blog to bring me on full-time to build and manage the new SkiResorts.com.  Living the dream.

We just launched the site a few weeks ago with alot of great, authentic content straight from our writers based in various resorts across North America.  For example, you can learn about “Aspen’s Secret Ski Shrines” from Greg Fitzsimmons, our local expert who also served as an editor for Aspen Magazine, or explore Telluride through the eyes of Wendy Jacobs Hampton, a luxury event planner who can rip up Kant-Mak-M to Stairs to Lower Plunge with the best of ‘em.  There’s lots more good stuff featuring the kind of insider knowledge/tips that you just won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Make sure to also user our travel booking engine (either via the widget or our special ‘Packages & Deals’ section) to find some of the best ski packages around.  Our travel agents are based in Aspen and have decades of experience (and great hotel connections) building the ideal ski trip, whether it’s way in advance or something last minute.  You can also call one of our live agents at 800-446-4908.

On top of all that, you can also make restaurant reservations, buy gear, explore trail maps, talk about your favorite resorts, or just find a spa, yoga class, art gallery, etc. at your destination of choice.

And finally, don’t forget to enter the launch sweepstakes.  We’re about to give away the 1st of 5 iPod Nano’s (the new ones that take video) and you can also win either a $1,000 in free lift tickets from Liftopia.com or a FREE TRIP FOR 4 TO TELLURIDE!!!

Here are links to some great press we’ve already received, with more to come…
