Ski deals have a reputation of giving themselves goofy/obscure names that I suppose serve the purpose of getting all of us to remember them. I can’t deny it’s worked for me, and all the ski freaks. Of course, Sniagrab leads them all with their ultra-chic tagline “bargains spelled backwards.” But it’s all true. There is a bargain to be had. Last year’s skis and boards are at a minimum of 40% off and go on up to 75% off.

SAN JUAN SKYWAY
The route: From Ridgway in southwestern Colorado, the 236-mile loop follows U.S. 550 south to Durango, U.S. 160 west toward Cortez, Colorado 145 northeast past Telluride and Colorado 62 east back to Ridgway.

If you’ve never been to a chili cookoff, you need to. The free beer for tasters is the first reason. Second, free food. This weekend’s cookoff was my first experience “judging” chili, and it was enough to make me wish there were more cooks working their chili magic.

Just like last year, we’ve had enough frisbee, Hibachi BBQ, sunburns and Bud Light. It’s time for powder skiing, hot cocoa, and fresh ski gear!

I love Winter Park. The bumps. The glades. That pristine cordurouy of WP’s front side always make my day. And now all you Four-Packers can now enjoy Spring Break and Presidents Day weekend nose-deep at WP and Copper.
