Each month in Colorado, and every season, offers a chance to experience something that is definitively of this place. Sometimes this means a local festival or annual event, but often it’s just planning to take advantage of the season and be wowed.
Here’s an adventure agenda for you — with a few suggested alternates and fun add-ons:
January: Ice climbing in Ouray
There’s no better place to fully embrace winter than in Ouray, especially during the annual Ouray Ice Festival.
By Akiya Dillon, Las Vegas Review-Journal (TNS)
LAS VEGAS — Some budget airlines charge extra fees when you book a flight online. However, when you book in person, these charges are waived.
So, if you want to save money, go to the airline’s ticket counter at the airport and speak with an associate who can waive these fees when you book your trip in person.
If you can pull yourself away from skiing or snowboarding, consider taking a few hours to visit a museum on your next ski adventure to restore your body and fuel your mind.
Colorado is home to 28 ski areas and resorts, each with a fascinating backstory.
These places have a rich history, from being the homelands and hunting grounds of the Ute, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne Native American Tribal Nations to the influx of silver and gold miners to the settlement of homesteading ranchers and cowboys and the development of ski areas by post-war veterans of the 10th Mountain Division soldiers of World War II.
Organizers campaigning to unionize ski patrollers are touting their momentum following the settlement of a strike at Utah’s Park City Mountain Resort and a vote last week in favor of forming a union at Arapahoe Basin.
A-Basin patrollers voted to become part of the CWA 7781 United Mountain Workers, which will negotiate a contract with Denver-based Alterra Mountain Company and A-Basin officials.
