Snow in May?!!
Let’s face it: very few people welcomed our winter blast last week with the exception of a few hearty souls like me. I am admittedly dysfunctional in that when it snows, all I want to do is ski, hike or run in it.
Either that or I’m just Canadian.
After I bundled up my kids [...]

With Spring’s glorious temperatures, Colorado is a joy to explore. The North Face has made outdoor participation a priority with Planet Explore a portal to the outdoors for people of all ages to find outdoor events in their area.
In Denver, Planet Explore has teamed up with the Audubon Society of Greater Denver, the Blufflake [...]

Aspen has a couple of things working against it: exorbitant prices and a reputation for misbehaving celebrities such as Charlie Sheen and those on VH1’s controversial Secrets of Aspen.
Fortunately, it has even more going for it.
My family visited Snowmass for the first time last weekend. I was eager to try the largest of Aspen Ski [...]

Join guest blogger Gabrielle Blair of Design Mom as her family hits the slopes!
The ski trip was fantastic. We’ve done quite a few day-ski-trips in the last few years, but this was the first time we actually stayed at the ski resort and made a vacation of it. Here [...]

The only bad thing about Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort is the long haul to get there.
That’s also why it is so great.
Make the seven-hour drive from Denver to Durango’s remote enclave in southwestern Colorado and you’ll feel like you’re in the frosty equivalent of Shangri-La. With 1,325 acres of snow-dusted terrain, the San Juan [...]

Over MLK day weekend, my family and I were lucky enough to be hosted by Winter Park resort, as part of a group effort from Colorado Ski Country USA to show off how families can have fun at resorts all over Colorado.
From the get-go I was honest with them about my lack-luster skiing abilities. I [...]

CONTEST CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNER JENNEFER HAYMOND!
The stakes were high for my 3-year-old son Bode’s first time on skis at Loveland Ski Area. The child was, after all, named after World Cup skiing sensation Bode Miller.
Better to live up to that than my namesake Forever Amber, a novel about a 17th-century prostitute.
I had never skied [...]
