With the promise of a new year approaching, the way to get 2019 off to a great start is to hit the slopes and trails on New Year’s Day. It’s one of the most sublime days of the season, with early birds getting morning corduroy as most skiers and riders hit the snooze button again.
A new year means ski season is in full gear and there is plenty going on in the first month of the new year and beyond.
