I’m so very excited that Keystone will open the slopes for the season this weekend! I love getting going to the slopes – but, I am frugal. I don’t always love to spend the money on snacks on the mountain. (And honestly, much of it is not necessarily all that healthy). So my secret weapon is that I stuff my pockets (and my kids pockets) with Goodness Knows Bars. The bars are so yummy. With just a touch of chocolate, I have managed to talk my kids into believing that they are “good candy.”

Free Days

You may have spent all your energy and money on Halloween – so you need something to do this weekend? It is a great time to take in some of those FREE Museums with the Denver Arts Week (which really is more than a week), November 2-10, 2012. Kicking off the week, Denver’s best museums are open late and admission is FREE between 5 and 10 p.m. Friday, November 2.

Colorado Ski & Snowboard Expo

I typically try to keep the ski and snowboard deals to a separate page as I understand not everyone that lives here loves to ski – but the Ski & Snowboard Expo is so much more. While the central theme and fun is all about those winter sports, it is not all. The Expo at the Colorado Convention Center this weekend, November 2-4, 2012 has much fun in store including: deals on ski and outdoor winter gear, lodging and lift ticket deals, Gibbon Slacklines, Mountain board demos, climbing wall, Aerial Trampoline, Kids slope, bouncy castles and Colorado Curling Club (yes, that Olympic sport). $12 for adults – kids are free.

Colorado Fencing Academy

I sort of think I’m an adrenaline junkie. I also like to be open to trying new and different ways to stay healthy. So when I saw that the first class is free – I though I will be up for at least one (I have to figure out when I’m going to go)…I’m going to try FENCING! As the weather cools, come inside & play!
