Skiing

The week between Christmas and New Year's is one of the busiest weeks of the year for ski slopes and if you are trying to go the day-of, you might want to check before you head out there because the past few days have been completely sold out ahead of time.

If you're a skier or a snowboarder, this is some of the best news you could hear. Holiday Valley will be making snow this week.

A world record was broken last Saturday in Russia and it involves bikinis, skiing and snowboarding.

Whether you ride two planks or one, it's time the one thing skiers and boarders wait all year for: opening day. This year it's coming nice and early, thanks to the cold temps we've had for the past week. Kissing Bridge is opening this Wednesday, November 27 -- that's earlier than I can remember for years!

Snow can be a lot of fun as long as you are not shoveling it. It's time to get out and enjoy the benefits of snow, instead of just complaining about having to shovel.

Two dudes found an abandoned five-story building in Whittier, Alaska. Like anyone would, they decided to take high quality video of one of them skiing down the cramped stairwells of the building and post it to Vimeo. You just have to click below to watch it: The skier is Logan Imlach, while the videographer is Matt Wild...

Poor young Cody is all tuckered out from a long day of carving turns, bouncing through moguls and chasing snow bunnies. Luckily his ski boots were there to help hold him up because Dad sure wasn't going to take a hand off the camera to keep him from taking a header as he swayed back and forth.

Need further proof that Starbucks coffee shops are literally everywhere? Then look no further than this ski-thru Starbucks located atop a mountain. (For real!)

Mother Nature has not been her normal snowy self yet this winter, but never fear...she will eventually arrive! In the meantime Holiday Valley has been making snow at every available opportunity. This photo shows 10 to 15 foot mounds of manmade snow on the Northwind trail...

No vuvuzelas here. This is Skiing's World Cup. Competitors of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup sail high over the crowds during the annual tournament, in which Norway's Tom Hilde took the championship last weekend. Since Jack FM is heading out to Kissing Bridge tonight, we thought we could use a little inspiration. Somehow, I don't think we'll be pulling off any of these sweet moves.
