Whistler Blackcomb for the Olypics 2010

Whistler and Blackcomb and the Winter Olympic games as a working trip has had me excited since I knew I would be able to attend. This past summer when we finally landed Whistler Resort as a new flaik resort, it was decided we would have a presence and staff would be on hand for team building, promoting our service as a new and revolutionary feature/service at ski and ride school to media, international resorts, North American resorts and skiers and snowboarders who would be swarming Whistler resort between February 12 and February 28, 2010.


The following will be various observations and reflections on my first Olympic experience from a personal and work perspective as well as a parent bringing my sons to the Olympics for a lifetime experience. One of the initial challenges was making sure we had accommodations as demand had driven lodging prices to rates I have never seen before. Eventually a 4 bedroom townhouse right outside the village was rented for the period of the games from locals who we worked with at the resort. It was a very convenient set up and we would rotate different flaik staff from the home office at different times to ensure everyone would get several days to experience the mountain and the games. This was conveniently located on the shuttle bus route and would provide a parking space for when a car was rented.


Given the size of Whistler as the largest ski resort in physical size and skier volume this account and the launch of flaik has been a significant accomplishment for our second year on the marketplace. To be able to have the world be in Whistler and see how the service is used was a great opportunity. One media opportunity has been with NBC when they did a spotlight on the Whistler Kids program out of Blackcomb during the first week. The film crew was shooting the children and staff using the flaik tags and one of the staff used the flaik tag as well for the morning session. This was followed up the second week with an interview and more in depth investigation of the flaik service that included viewing the tracking in real time of our service at work.


During the two weeks the flaik team has been seen in action and in teams wearing the red flaik jackets with our logo clearly evident. While skiing and riding on mountain, we were repeatedly asked by skiers and snowboarders about the tag, service, how it worked and where they could try it out and rent for a day. Several times we were mistaken as a team of our own, much to our own chuckles. Currently there are limited rental locations available at several resorts.

FLAIK - Flaik is a unique and ground changing technology that was introduced at two resorts – Steamboat Springs and Copper Mountain during the 2008.09 winter season. The technology utilizes GPS and cell technology fused to deliver real time tracking of skiers and snowboarders at ski resorts. The primary application has initially targeted ski and ride schools where each student and instructor is provided a flaik tag that tracks them throughout their day on the mountain. Flaik includes safety features that uses different alerts and alarms should a student and instructor get separated. The service enables resorts to know at all times where students and instructors are on the mountain. This provides an added layer of comfort for parents, staff and resort operators as well as operating efficiencies in managing the ski and ride school from labor savings, management performance functions and getting students who head away form classes together very quickly.


The flaik service is currently available at the following nine North American resorts: Copper Mountain, Steamboat Springs and Winter Park in Colorado; Alpine Meadows and Homewood Mountain Resort in California; Smugglers Notch and Stratton Mountain Resort in Vermont; Whistler Resort and Mont Tremblant in Canada.


Parents and users love the flaik service as they are able to visit the web site, build a profile and once they download the data have a video scripted replay of the day on the mountain. The application enables the user to relive each run, see how fast they went, what runs they skied, how fats they went, total vertical feet skied and begin to track easily and share their day with friends and family. New features are being released throughout the season. I know my boys sure love watching where they went, how many vertical they skied and speeds they attained at different parts of the mountain.

The flaik service and technology is also used to power various fun events at resort partners such as vertical challenges, all mountain rallies, scavenger hunts and daily rentals for individuals and groups to track their vertical feet, ensure safety and create a digital journal/diary of their day(s) on the mountain. The Helly Hansen Big Mountain Battle series at 8 North American resorts is powered by flaik again for this year at the following resorts – Squaw Valley, Stevens Pass, Revelstoke Mountain, Sun Peaks Resort, Fernie Mountain, Smugglers Notch, Taos, and the finals known as the Battle of the Bowls at Aspen Highlands.

Skiing La Valle Blanche in Chamonix

While I sure wish I could have gotten more than one day on the mountain, this is a long way to come for one day, but it was a work trip not a holiday.  The decision had been made with my friend and associate Bruce Rosard, for us to do the Valle Blanche with a guide as a must do life experience. This is one of the true must do things for any serious mountain enthusiasts. We hired a guide for the two of us for the day. This also requires buying your ticket for the day as well.

The day is more of an adventure and alpine touring day than a resort ski day. Mont Blanc is Europe’s highest peak over 13,000 feet high and a true alpine environment. On hiring a guide, I would strongly suggest as a must do if you want to do this. I would not do it any other way plain and simple. It takes two tram/cable car rides to get to the top traveling over 2800 meters. Once on top we took the elevator for views and pictures at the very top, then with our guide Pierre, all guides are certified by a rigorous training and certification process, prepared us for the initial descent down by clipping us to the climbing rope and making sure our crampons were on. I had previously never started a ski day with crampons, or ever climbed down a snow and ice covered ridge to start a ski day. The start to this epic day begins when you one start by descending a narrow ridge that has a drop of several thousand feet on one side and the other side even more exposed that goes all the way down the North Face of Mont Blanc to Chamonix over 6,000 feet below. Personally I hate exposed places like this and new it would be possibly the most difficult part of the day. It probably was. While I knew I was safe at all times I was truly unnerved. At one point I saw a woman without a guide, ropes or crampons loose her footing and start to slide into others. There is a rope to hold onto as well as a slow mass of humanity creeping down this ridge. Once down the ridge I sure needed to catch my breath and relax before proceeding downward. I did hear a story of  a lady recently who also went down this without a guide or crampons and went into a slide only to get her ski stuck and it saved her life and her from falling all the way down the north face. She was taken down by a helicopter as she was too freaked out to even think of skiing down after that. This happened this winter, Pierre smiled as he recounted the recent occurrence.

We wanted a guide as the descent while beautiful and there is a main route down we wanted to ski some off piste terrain and enjoy some of the recent powder. Those choosing to ski this descent need to remember there are crevices and snow bridges all through the area, so getting off track and into trouble is not that difficult to do if you do not know where you are going. Afterwards I read one account of when a guide was pulling a client out of a crevice they were surprised that the first person up was someone who was there alone and had previously fallen in a the same crevice a client had slipped into. I am sure the solo person felt very fortunate. The day was perfect weather, blue skies after a couple of days of snow ensured an incredible day. The views of different peaks and how to ski over to Italy donw to Courmayer was amazing. The guide takes his time to show and tell the history and local geology of the terrain. There were two of us which was very nice. Both being of the same ability and fitness it made for a no rush day. The early descent had more wind sculpted snow than powder, but shortly after the initial descent Pierre was guiding us into untracked powder and descent with more pitch and steepness to ensure some very good powder skiing. We got ahead of the crowd and got first tracks in very soft light snow. This required traversing off slope and carefully following him over snow bridges and around crevices or frozen rivers. 

For me we had an unfortunate event as my rental skis were not cranked down as needed and I started to walk out of my bindings. This proved to be very frustrating and resulted in an exhausting 30minute dig for a lost ski in deep snow. Fortunately another group that was behind us helped with the dig and we found the ski. At that moment I was not happy to not have brought my skis along. Thoughts for another day on this topic. This use of energy would not serve me well as the day ended.

From here we toured through moderate terrain getting some fresh tracks and powder as we toured through the glacier La Mer de Glace. On the right were the Italian peaks that one can climb up to for a journey into Italy. The rock spires against the blue ski provided a spectacular backdrop as we worked our way down to a on mountain outpost the Refuge for lunch. I surely needed lunch and a break at this pint as it was 1 PM. Soaked and drained from the descent, digging for a ski, skiing fresh powder and at the end of this we had a short climb again up to the restaurant. It was the only option to get there. Once there we settled in for warm soup, cheese sandwiches and bread. A note of caution to those looking to do this on a budget and expecting a deal, do not. First off the prices made a Vail and Aspen lunch look like a value meal. We were more than a little surprised, but were not about to not eat. Of course you buy your guide lunch and it was not the moment to worry about the budget. This was not a lunch for the budget conscious. While good and filling the need and providing energy, it was not gourmet by any means. The soup was good and met the need but a tad bland. More like wilderness outpost style dining than sit down dining at 2 Elks in Vail, the Sun spot in Winter Park etc. The cost for lunch was over 50 euros for 3 of us that included a sandwich, cheese platter, cup of tea, 2 bowls of soup and a sandwich. Cost in dollars about $75. When we mentioned this to Pierre he explained they have to helicopter everything in and that is expensive, and he smiled.

From here we again had to climb and traverse for next shots of remaining powder. I felt better but the toil of the first part of the day was sitting in. After traversing into and around various bowls, chutes for some good skiing and powder shot we came towards the lower part of the glacier floor. This is where we made the ski poles were lengthened - adjustable poles were key and strongly recommended - as we needed to skate and enter more into a cross country type of touring through the valley floor. At this point the skiing was pretty much over. As we traveled through the valley the views were nothing short of amazing all around. We had meandered through a frozen river that was in valley floor, huge avalanche ice chunks everywhere and crevices of deep blue glacial ice all around us. One of those sites that you need to see to grasp the full beauty and power that makes this area what it is. One comment Bruce continually made was “who ever thought of building lifts, trams and a resort here.” It is so awe inspiring you can barely fathom the first souls who came here and built this access and opened it to recreation. We had a guide, gear and some preparation but it was till an adventure for the hardy and had us at our edge. 

One thing we did not realize was at the end we were facing a 20 minute hike with skis on our shoulders to get out of there and then be able to ski back to the town of Chamonix. Both Bruce and I were exhausted when we got to this point. It was right about 3 PM. I had started to cramp and was really wondering how painful this was going to be. I t was going to take mind over matter and a determination to finish the day. I was not happy with myself for not being more fit as well. It was take deep breaths, exhale and go slow and steady on the climb out. As I slowly made my way out the guide did come and grab may pack and gear for the final ascent at the end. I was grateful and felt the fee of 300 euros ($450) for the guide was worth it even more at that moment. Once at the top there is a outside shack/hut with snacks and drinks. A large collection of folks hanging and savoring the days accomplishment. We had some water, bought a coke, caught our breath and prepared for the descent into town. This was about another 15 – 2 minute run what Pierre called a forest trail with switch backs, rocks poking out and banked turns into town. The descent ends crossing the town hill were local races are help. By now both Bruce and I were toast with legs screaming and us thinking only of getting off the hill and having a well earned beer. The sun was still out as we made it back to town and a quick bus ride back to the cable car station of the Aguile du Midi.

High fives were all in order and the agreement it was really well worth it and a day we would always remember. Put this on your bucket list, but be ready. This is not for the faint of heart, or those who are not sure they love real mountain adventure. It was only one run and we got on the tram at 9:30. Go do this, get a guide, take lots of water and sunscreen, do not worry about the budget as you will not be doing this often if ever again. Enjoy and prepare to tell all your friends about how really cool it was. Wow was how I felt and will for some time.

For a keepsake I bought two books from a local show to take home, as pictures just do not capture the details for me. There are English versions in most of the book store’s in Chamonix.  

Chamonix, International Mountain Symposium & La Valle Blanche

Duty called this week as I went back to Chamonix France for the first time in decades. The event I attended was the International Mountain Symposium a gathering of 300 mountain travel executives, tourism and resort operators from across Europe, with a few from North America sprinkled into the mix. I had been invited to participate as a speaker on a panel presented by PhocusWright and run by Bruce Rosard. The topic was Social Media with a focus on what to do, case studies of examples of how companies are effectively using various elements of social media in strategies that are working and producing results.

The conference dedicated itself to trends in the larger resort and travel marketplace with a focus on how to manage and respond to the current effects of the global financial crisis that is still impacting economies and industries such as tourism and travel. It was a diverse audience that included different companies showing off their innovations as it pertains to travel and established new travel players that have emerged from the digital revolution that is still shaping and impacting the business landscape. Companies like Travel Zoo, Trip Advisor, EasyJet, our own company flaik each presented how their new approaches to the market are impacting positive results for companies embracing new approaches to the market.

Accommodations: The event booked me into The Mont Blanc Hotel, which was a block from town center and easy access to anything I wanted to do or needed for the trip. An old world hotel with comfort, charm and a dedicated and pleasant staff during my stay, was truly a delight. The last day of my trip I had planned a full day ski and tour of the Le Vallee Blanche with a 6 PM shuttle to Geneva for my return flight. The Hotel was gracious in providing not only storage for my bags, but a room with a shower to freshen up and get myself ready for the journey. The hotel staff were all pleasant, helpful and making sure my stay was enjoyable. They did it with a smile on the face and in a fashion The Hotel Mont Blanc will be high on my list of places to stay when returning.

Overall trip observation’s: Several things on this trip to France jumped out at me. The French were much more pleasant and engaging than 25 years ago during my first trip to France. The willingness to try and speak English, as my French is very limited and poor, was evident everywhere and with a smile. Local markets and shops were pleased to help and see me a spending tourist. The significantly devalued dollar made this so much more expensive than past trips to Europe. It was a point of pain that as the week went on you found yourself simply ignoring it so as to not feel too much pain. That being said I still needed to purchase and bring back souvenir books, chocolate, cheese and French gourmet sausages. The food and culinary treats are always a pleasure in France. Town was quiet as has been the case form speaking to locals regarding the last 2 years. Snow is and has been great with cold temperatures ensuring excellent skiing and riding conditions. Making connections out of Geneva was incredibly easy. When searching Google for shuttles from the Geneva airport to Chamonix I found several choices but after reviewing various options and sites I settled on Chamonix Express. They had many regular scheduled trips back and forth and an easy to use booking engine. At 25 Euros costs seemed reasonable and the service proved to be punctual and professional coming and going. The ease of online researching of trips and services makes travel abroad so much easier while eliminating questions and uncertainty.

Good pub with lively British clientele was La Terrace in the center of town, right behind the statue

Skiing La Valle Blanche: While I sure wish I could have gotten more than one day on the mountain, this is a long way to come for one day, but it was a work trip not a holiday.

Wounded Warriors in Colorado

This is the 22nd annual Hartford Ski Spectacular, hosted by Disabled Sports USA. The Hartford is one of the main contributors, even in these tough financial times.
It is the nation's largest winter sports festival of this type, with more than 700 participants this year. Many of the wounded warriors lost limbs, or suffered other major injuries, in battles in Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, or other wars. Other participants have disabilities, and take part in a number of adaptive sports programs. Many are training for upcoming Parolympics events in Vancouver.

It is fitting this years Event began on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day. These are brave, patriotic folks, who have suffered greatly, but never give up.

My husband Charles Sneiderman and I have been honored to attend 3 of these Hartford events, as well as numerous other Wounded Warrior Activities around the nation. We were pleased to see so many old friends. Most of us are staying in the huge Beaver Run Resort and Conference Center, which hosts the events. It is well run, the views are great, and you can ski in and ski out to the slopes. The sports rental facilities are part of the building, which makes it much easier. The warriors have the use of a vast amount of special equipment - sit skis and other gear for those with lost limbs. Most of their equipment is stored on a big truck, provided by the Veterans Administration.

It was bitter cold when we arrived in Breckenridge, with temperatures far below zero. But we managed a few runs each day. The slopes were hard packed and well groomed. The participants were out early, receiving lessons in the bitter cold. Many of the instructors also suffered from disabilities, which make them more sensitive and effective as teachers. It often takes several dedicated people to help the sportspeople into their equipment, and assist them on the chair lifts. But, once they are set, they fly down that mountain! Look for more reports to come from field reporter Connie Lawn.
