US Airways - January 2014 - (Page 9)

embark From the Editor Winter, Warm and Cold ★ COVER PHOTO BY JACK AFFLECK It's hard to imagine a more pleasant place to be next month than in Arizona's Valley of the Sun. Daytime temperatures average in the high 60s, and the sun is center stage. February marks the kickoff of the Cactus League, where 15 MLB teams get ready for the 2014 baseball season. If you're a fan of the game, a midwinter trip to Arizona is the stuff of dreams. For others, there's a laundry list of reasons - like the weather - to pay a visit. And if you're wondering what they are, browse pages 74-110. For those who revel in winter weather, check out our cover story, "Rocky Mountain High," on page 34. Ski buff Larry Olmsted spent time in two storied resorts, Vail and Beaver Creek, which are just a few miles from The Story Behind the Stories By Lance Elko each other but offer very different kinds of experiences. The skiing is, of course, as good as it gets, but the personalities of the two are a world apart. Next month, the U.S. will send its best winter-sports athletes to Sochi, Russia, for the 2014 Olympic Games. Contributing editor Brion O'Connor gained access to a number of our Olympic hopefuls for an intimate look at where they come from, how they've trained, and how they view their respective events. Take a look at pages 44-50 for an inside look at who you'll see competing in events such as alpine skiing, speed skating, hockey, and snowboarding when the games kick off on February 7.
