I know a thing or two about competitive fire. Living with an Olympic ski racer in Park City, Utah my kids are growing up on the slopes. I definitely feel like a fish out of water at the start of the NASTAR course, but I love it anyway! Just picture it: I’m standing at the top of

Nastar Magic
One fine Monday, I found myself out skiing with my kids. Or, dare I say, out-skied by my kids. I’m pretty fast, when I want to be, but on this day, I felt like I was skiing in molasses. This, friends, is not to say the snow conditions were not perfect. They were. Therein lay
NASTAR National Pacesetting
Its official, the 2012-13 winter season has started with a bang! First, the Celebrity Skifest events, which were followed by the big three-day snowstorm that dropped enough snow to ski the Daly Chutes in Empire. Most recently, I participated in the NASTAR pacesetting trials at Snowmass. I go to the national pacesetting trials in order
How Heidi Prepares for the Season
The time is approaching when we all start to anticipate this coming winter. The question being, “is it going to be a big winter?!” I guess time will tell, but anytime on skis is always a good thing. At this point I’m assessing what equipment I might need to replace and bringing in the new
NASTAR National Championships

Celebrities, NASTAR and Holiday Fun
Well our season started almost a week ago. It’s probably a good time to recap opening weekend and of course the skiing. It was a great time racing in the Celebrity Skifest and for a great foundation, The Waterkeeper Alliance. It started Friday night with opening reception at Empire Canyon Lodge where I loaded up
Thanksgiving Means Skiing
Well its official, I have had my first day of skiing for the 2011-2012 season today, Nov. 19. I can’t tell you where it was… Ok I guess I can, our friendly neighbors next door PCMR. The conditions were perfect for early skiing so I know when we open the skiing will be great! However,
Heidi Voelker’s 2010/2011 Season in Review
As we are approaching closing day this Sunday, April 10 I thought I should write about some of the highlights from this season. Always at this time of year I say, “I can’t believe how fast the season has flown by! It goes by faster and faster even after 14 years!” Maybe it has to
My Favorite Deer Valley Things (part 1)
Working at the resort over the last couple of weeks, I have been quickly reminded why Deer Valley has been voted the # 1 ski resort in North America for the last four years in a row. When I meet a new client, we arrange to find each other at the Snow Park Guest Service
