Help! The two weekends that we had planned to have a bridal shower for my niece who lives in Denver had to be cancelled due to her inability to get back here to Iowa due to Denver's constant snow storms! Is it possible to have a totally online bridal shower with Pampered Chef or even some other company? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

A bridal shower is a totally optional event where the focus of the party is to:
1. open gifts
2. allow those near and dear to feel like a part of the wedding planning process.
An online shower would not offer either so please just plan on attending the wedding and leave off the option shower. Basically, you'd be asking "guests" to just go online and buy a gift without offering them any food or party. Bad hosting.
Plus, in this modern age, most young women don't need to gifts to help "set up house", which was the original intent long ago.

How about this instead of a gift shower.
Get a scrap book and send out the pages and ask each woman to decorate a page with what ever she would like; advice, pictures of herself and the bride, a poem, etc. Then also send them the envelope complete with postage (go with more than you think it will cost for the extra weight, since people might glue on decorations) and address label already printed on (make it as easy as possible so the women actually do it) and have them send the pages back to you by a specific date. Assemble it and send it to the bride with a card saying something about all of you not being able to be together to shower her with gifts, so you hope that the good wishes inside shower her heart with love.
How about that?

No, sorry but that would be totally inappropriate.
A shower is an in-person PARTY. There is no such thing as a "ship-it-to-her" shower. (However, is IS proper to ship regular wedding gifts to the bride.)
Also, showers are not supposed to be hosted by family members, AND showers are optional. No bride NEEDS to have one. If circumstances mean that a shower is just not posible, then so be it. The sky will not fall because she didn't have a shower.

I would postpone it until you can get everyone together. An inernet show would never be the same!
