What Is a Great Destination for Intermediate Skiing? A Perfect “10”: On-Piste, Off the Beaten Path

Living too far south for much snow and working too many hours to get away often, I am an “Intermittent Intermediate” with no hope of improving. The greatest challenge is finding a destination that is hard enough to be interesting but still easy enough to ski down when I am traveling solo. Since classifying a run’s level of difficulty varies from mountain to mountain, too often I find it doesn’t work for me. Especially surprising was the difference between skiing Lake Tahoe’s Heavenly Valley and Sun Valley or Big Sky. In the US Northwest where Intermediate slopes looked like the Matterhorn, I had to go to Plan B: counting bison at Yellowstone. After such near misses, I developed a personal checklist for finding the best destinations for Intermediate skiing:

  1. Number and type of slopes designated as Intermediate
  2. Snow quality and typical conditions
  3. Apres-ski activity/restaurants and nearby lodging
  4. Affordability/Attractive pricing
  5. Convenient

The Best Cleansing Skin Care Solutions

As with most things, there are good cleansing skin care products on the market and others that are not so good. Skin cleansing is a necessary daily part of any complete skincare program. Weekly or bi-weekly masks are also a good idea. But, above all else, cleansers should be safe and gentle.

The popularity of exfoliation never ceases to amaze me. It’s an unnecessary and damaging step. It increases sensitivity to UV radiation from the sun, causes redness and irritation. The positive effects, when present, are not worth the drawbacks.

Gentle daily cleansing skin care solutions remove the dirt that clogs the pores, the excessive oils and loose skin cells. Exfoliation can actually remove good cells, something that you do not want to do.

The best skin cleansing gels and bars contain things like tea tree oil, manuka honey and orange peel extract. Orange peel extract helps to dissolve excessive … Read more

Fiduciary Duty of a Real Estate Agent – Why Should I Care?

When you go to school to become a real estate agent, one of the first things you learn about is Fiduciary Duty. It is a keystone of integrity for anyone in the business, and is discussed again and again in your continuing education as an agent. It is also a basic component of the Code of Ethics to which every Realtor is bound.

But what exactly is fiduciary duty? Let’s begin with a simple acronym: CARLOAD. There are seven tenets which define fiduciary Duty:

Confidentiality-any information divulged by the client is kept in utmost confidence, and NOT SHARED with anyone. Think doctors and lawyers.

Advocacy-the agent has client’s best interests at heart, and will go to the greatest lengths to ensure the best possible outcome for them.

Reasonable care-the agent makes sure all processes are completed in a timely manner, follows up … Read more
