Skib-bat-i-cal, (n) \ski-'ba-ti-kel\ 

(also: skibatical) Defined: a hiatus from work or school, to go rip some turns.

Welcome, Bienvenido, Bienvenue, Herzlich Willkomme! Somehow, I've gotten around quite a bit. Las Lenas and Valle Nevado, Verbier and Chamonix, Corbet's Culior, Valdez ... even 100,000 ft. of heli vertical in the Bugaboos. After a few decades of skiing and living in both the North Cascades and the Chugach Range (Alaska), I ditched my software job in Seattle and took to an open ended ski excursion around the US and Europe. Skibbatical is the result of that experience. In planning each adventure, I quickly realized how daunting it is to muddle through all the advertising and BS on the aggregation sites. I always found myself back on resort Websites, but still rummaging for the important stuff. Every site navigation is an enigma ... ski & ride conditions, snow reports, trial maps, lodging, directions, weather, etc. Instead, Voila! Simplified and direct access to all you need to know, before you go! 

​PS. Skibbatical is still a work in progress and I'm obviously no "pro" web programmer or linguist. So, if you have suggestions or feedback, I'm all ears. Drop me a line.
