Powder Blog’s New Look

The eagerly anticipated new design this blog is up and on display and it pleases me to no end. I give all the credit to my son Evan Johnson who designed and engineered it and added all kinds of wonderful features to it; many I’ll never take advantage of, but they’re sure cool none-the-less.

I can’t recommend Evan enough for anyone needing help with web development projects – he’s a real pro and this sort of stuff is his passion. Go to Chili Pepper Design and put him to work for you- you won’t regret it!

My ski writing falls into three general categories so the new design makes them more obvious and accessible . Living in the Tetons, I write about skiing here a lot so my Skiing in the Tetons category gets posted to the most.

I think about the larger world of skiing a lot too, so I’m throwing my musings about skiing outside the Tetons into the Skiing Everywhere category.

Finally, I can’t help but observe the significant trend at ski resorts toward courting and catering to wealthy skiers. Sure there is money to be made doing this, but it comes at a cost to the sport- it inevitably raises the cost of we all pay to ski at resorts that have spent money to upgrade their facilities and service offerings to appeal to this market segment. I worry about this because I don’t want to see a great sport become too expensive for people of average means to participate in and enjoy fully. So, I’ll post about what I feel is good or bad about this trend in the Skiing in Luxo-land category.

Thanks for visiting and reading. As always, I welcome your comments.

Thanks again Evan!
