Definitely Colorado's Best Travel and Visitors Guide

Breckenridge got hit hard this past President's Day weekend, so we decided to head up the night before to dodge the traffic. All affordable hotels were booked up in Summit County, so we stayed 30 minutes south of Breckenridge in Fairplay, CO, aka South Park.

 Read about the full Breckenridge ski blog on our new Colorado Travel Blog.

Colorado had fantastic weather this past weekend. Hopefully, you had the chance to make it up to the high country. Sunday was gorgeous at Breckenridge, not to be outdone by Monday at Copper Mountain on Monday.

The Rocky Mountains have been getting blasted lately with lots of cold, dry snowfall. I went up to Winter Park Ski Resort yesterday and enjoyed an almost empty Mary Jane Mountain with plenty of quality pow. It was freezing out at less than 0 degrees and a windchill in the negative teens.

I lasted two hours before retreating to Pepperonis (pizza restaurant located at base of Mary Jane) for some Microbrew and a slice of pie.

Today and Tomorrow (Tues, Jan 25 - Wed, Jan 26), the Denver Civic Center will host World-class skiers and riders in a Big Air competition. Doors open at 3:30pm. View the Big Air 2011 Event Schedule.

With a name like Denver Big Air, you know exactly what to expect...

The 15 inches of fresh powder yesterday at Vail forced me to take the day off and head up to the high country. It was of course worth it, but if you missed out yesterday, no worries. There is snow predicted for the next 5 days at Vail, and around most of the Rocky Mountains.

The Rocky Mountains were blanketed with plenty of fresh snow last night, with lots more predicted through the week. (Vail Weather Report). So, take a day off work and head up to the slopes.

Eight Inches of fresh pow and sunny skies at Copper Mountain made it a phenomenal Monday to be out snowboarding. Temperatures were low and face masks recommended. Read about the conditions at Copper Mountain in the full blog.

We golfed the back-nine at Wellshire Golf Course on Monday. Wellshire is a nice course, centrally-located in the Denver area (corner of Hampton Ave. and Colorado Blvd). Read more about our Wellshire Golf experience.

Easter Sunday brought Arapahoe Basin seven inches of fresh snow. We got up to A Basin around noon and still found plenty of pow in the Montezuma Bowl and along the East Face. We did have to traverse to get to most of it though. Read about skiing Arapahoe Basin.

We went up to Vail this weekend for a bachelor party. On Saturday night we rented a real nice cabin in Eagle-Vail and toured some of the bars in the Vail Village. Sunday, we skiied Vail. Sunday night, we got a hotel in Eagle and went down to Glenwood Springs for the hot springs pool. Monday, we shredded Beaver Creek. We got some great photos of Vail and Beaver Creek on our full blog. 

On Monday, we had another Colorado blue-sky ski-day. Today's destination was Copper Mountain ski area. Warmer weather brought out spring conditions at Copper. Afterwards, we grabbed a bite to eat at Pizza Carlo in Copper Mountain's center village. Read about the full excursion.

Colorado got hit with snow all day Friday, 3/19/2010, granting Vail Mountain nine inches of fresh snow for Saturday. We arrived at noon for a blue-sky Vail ski day. We got dinner at JP'S Old Forge Pizza in Vail's Lionhead Village. Read the entire blog.

Today we went out to Breckenridge for a blue-sky afternoon. We checked out Leo's Cabin in the woods of Breckenridge and got some food in Silverthorne. Check out the full blog here.

I decided to drive to Ski Cooper today to use my free licket I get with my GEMs card. It was my first time there and it snowed all day. After riding at Ski Cooper I grabbed dinner in Leadville and stopped at the Indian Hot Springs in Idaho Springs. Please click here to read full post.
