People.

As I’m sitting here thinking about the past season, and yet again how quickly the snow comes and goes, remembering the pow, runs, tricks, and days on the hill – overall the one thing I just cannot forget is THE PEOPLE. Seems year in and year out whether I’m riding with my typical crew, meeting [...]

Hug a Panda, Earth Day

As the buyer for ahlivv.com, I have the amazing opportunity to see new clothing lines from manufacturers from all over the U.S. I hear about new trends, see new fashion and get ideas of how to bring those trends to our ahlivv girl. As we all know Earth Day, April 22nd is upon us and we at ahlivv pride ourselves on being “green”, whether it is how we recycle our shipping boxes to our customers or how we search to bring you companies that are on the same path as us and are making efforts to be “green”.

Happy Earth Day

Being one of six children in South Buffalo, New York, those paintings were the closest we came to the ocean and the mountains, aside from our annual summer trips to the Adirondacks. We lived for those trips, and my parents did too. Well, maybe we all could have done without the six hour drive in a station wagon filled with two exhausted parents and six car sick children. But, that was the one week out of the year where we could forget the city and live ‘the good life’. And it was awesome – fishing outside our front door, swimming in the cold lakes and rowboat rides across the lake. I even remember, vaguely, one water helicopter ride. My dad worked so hard to flag the pilot down, and he took me and my three older siblings for a ride which, at four years old, seemed like the perfect place to take a snooze.

ahlivv Inspiration: Rise Above It

I was inspired April 11th, 2009 while watching young adults partake in a wonderful event that was built on inspiration. The event, Ski/Snowboard Outing for Adolescents and Young Adults Affected by Cancer with Special Guest, Jeremy Bloom, made possible by RAI and sponsors. Rise Above It, RAIBenefit.org, is a non-profit organization that was inspired by a life that was taken early, lives that experienced that loss and of course an inspiration. The Rise Above It (RAI) mission is to create an immediate positive impact in the lives of adolescents and young adults affected by cancer.

Tip of the Week: Fight Gravity While You Scrub-A-Dub

But, you can help the fight each time you wash your face. So, think about it, gravity pulls down right…duh. So, when you are washing your face, lather in an upward motion.

Yoga for Skiing and Snowboarding

Growing up in California meant we played at the beach or parks all year long until winter came. Once the snow would stick we would head up to Mammoth Mountain as a family to have some fun on the snow. Every morning at the sound of the avalanche team booming the cannons, my dad religiously would wake us up for pre-mountain stretching. Begrudgingly, we would shuffle to the living room with our eyes half open never understanding the idea behind his exercises. Now, as an adult and a yoga instructor I can appreciate his efforts and can understand the rationale behind them. Unbeknownst to us my dad was doing just what we needed; our muscles were stretched and balanced out for a day of skiing.

Resolutions: Status Update

I mean, even though I promised myself six solid workouts a week, four is pretty good, right? ahlivv owner and my new sanity keeper, Courtney, reminded me of a great quote: “Resolutions are made to be broken”, and although that may sound like a way out, it’s really only because we set unrealistic goals. So, if we could figure out how to better plan our attack of the new year, we could prove this deliciously fun quote wrong!

Insider Scoop: Vail

Vail, Colorado is America’s biggest ski resort community. For some, like myself, it seems bigger than life! With 5,289 acres, 193 trails and 32 chairlifts, this mountain is a cloud nine to many! If the size doesn’t do it for you, try the visitor count; nearly 20,000 on a busy day! That number makes up [...]
