It makes me feel old when I say things like, time is really flying by. But really, we are already somehow just a couple weeks from my favorite Deals day of the year – Black Friday! My daughter, who is a 6th grader this year emailed me her Christmas wish list. She had not only delivered a well-written letter, but she had also cut and pasted photos and made hyper-links to the shopping page where she found each of the items. I am hoping that some of these items will make it to some store’s Black Friday sale.

This year, I’m actually PLANNING to join the mayhem – with my sister who is a pro and has been “doing the sale.” She will look at the newspaper circulars – and I will check out their websites. She promises me that I will get some great deals and it will be worth my lack of sleep. I only hope for her sake that it includes a cup of coffee!

SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! Keystone is open now. Breckenridge opens this weekend…Front Range Ski Bus is offering a Free Ride! Yup. On Saturday, December 15 Front Range Ski Bus will go to four locations – ABasin, Copper Mountain, Keystone & Loveland. You can ride for free. Enter the promo code “FreeBus” when you make your reservation on Dec. 10. (The catch.  Since seats are limited and they want the reservations made by people who are serious about trying out the ski bus from Denver we are charging $5 per person to make a reservation.  Then when you are on the bus, you will receive a crisp $5 bill!  Sound good?)
