We discovered that a couple of items on the menu (burgers, chili cheese fries) at Red Tail Camp are at least a dollar cheaper than at the Spruce Saddle Lodge. If you’re willing to bear the outdoor elements and the uncertainty of food availability (the fryer can sometimes “freeze”), you can save a buck or […]

Last week, both Rachel and I had the privilege of visiting The Barn at Woodward at Copper to learn more about the facilities and programs Woodward has to offer here in Colorado. For those that don’t know: over three years ago, the Barn was constructed to house an indoor, year-round training facility for pros to […]
Enter: my favorite new winter accessory. The SpiritHoods Snow Arctic Fox is such an unexpectedly fun mix of fashionable and whimsical. It’s a faux fur “hat” that has long ear flaps that extend into hand warmers. SpiritHoods was kind enough to send a hood over for me to try out and I’ve been dying for […]

I’ve wandered into a few local good stores in Breckenridge and found gifts for literally everyone in my life (I knocked out a birthday, Christmas, and wedding anniversary all in one stop). Plus, I can’t argue with any list that […]
If you need more gift ideas, Warren Miller Entertainment has pulled a great mix of ideas. Of course, their own films are on the list but I did like the ski resort jigsaw puzzles; they’d be great candidates for framing in your winter chateaux.
So many photos are taken everyday while skiing and snowboarding but there’s no good place to see any of them. Sure, the resorts themselves will re-post photos and put up some of their professional shots, and our friends may happen to post some photos the day of (or many days later). But what I’m interested […]
