olorado comes to life when the temperature drops and the landscape gets covered in a sea of white. While people in other states might dread the season of heavy coats, windshield scrapers and icy lakes, we Coloradans make the mountains, trails and frozen waterways our outdoor playground. And when there’s a toasty brewpub or a vibrant concert hall never too far away, our winter days are packed with activity. We love putting together Winter Scene every year because we get just as excited about our state’s seasonal offerings as you do. Our annual guide for what to do in Colorado from November to March should provide you with everything you need to maximize your winter fun. In these pages, we’ve put together a handy ski resort round-up so you can hone in on the experience that will leave you most satisfied. And for those eco-conscious downhillers, there’s information about ski resorts and their Earth-friendly practices. Match that information with our handy gear guide and you’ll be ready to get moving. And for those looking to experience the wider world of winter activities, we also took a look at Colorado’s Olympic hopefuls and planned some excursions from the I-70 corridor to Park City, Utah. And of course it wouldn’t be Winter Scene without our curated calendar of things to do throughout the state this season. We’ve assembled a list of top concerts along the Front Range, as well as the best local events and festivals. And we didn’t forget those within a few hours’ drive. No way you’ll get to everything listed in those pages, but there’s nothing stopping you from trying.

YOU CAN’T SKI A
MELTED GLACIER...
SMALL WAYS TO GO GREEN THIS SKI SEASON by Eliza Radeka
6 NOVEMBER 9, 2017
I
E
ach year we can’t help but cross our fingers and pray to the snow gods for a ski season full of endless powder days. Yet despite how hard we wish for snow, we must face the reality that we can’t ski a melted glacier. Climate change is taking its toll on our favorite winter activities like skiing and snowboarding. Glaciers around the world continue to shrink. Boulder County is home to the 1,000-year-old Arikaree Glacier, which has been thinning by one meter per year over the past 15 years. According to scientists, it will disappear completely in about 25 years. Colorado skiers and riders now have shorter ski seasons to enjoy. Each season starts later and ends earlier — Boulderbased climatologists say warmer temperatures have shaved a couple of weeks off the average ski season over the last 20 to 30 years. Luckily, some of our favorite Colorado resorts are striving to combat the effects of climate change on the winter season. Aspen offsets 100 percent of its electricity through renewable resources and uses trail-grooming vehicles that run on biodiesel. Vail Resorts follows a sustainability commitment, which calls for having zero operating impact on forests and habitats, and includes a goal to have zero net emissions and send zero waste to the WINTER SCENE ’17
landfill by 2030. While resorts are taking the right steps to preserve our winters, skiers and riders must also prioritize a dedication to the environment if they want to keep enjoying their favorite winter sports. Choosing the most eco-friendly resorts is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint when hitting the slopes. But there are other, less obvious ways to minimize your impact on the environment. Take the very skis and boards we ride, for example. Going green can be as simple as picking the right equipment. There are several Colorado companies that make eco-friendly skis and snowboards from recycled and natural materials. Liberty Skis uses sustainably harvested bamboo in all of its skis. Not only is bamboo light and resilient, but it can also be harvested without killing the entire plant. The roots that remain after the harvest help control erosion and ensure that the forest canopy remains intact. Venture Snowboards is another company dedicated to producing sustainable gear. Not only does the company power its factory with renewable energy, but it also chooses environmentally friendly materials for board production. For example, the top sheets of its boards are made from plastic containing castor bean oil, rather than petroleum. Venture also makes an effort to source all of its raw materials as close to I

BOULDER’S NEW ADVENTURE LODGE A HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR THE OUTDOOR MINDED CALL FOR MORE INFO 303.444.0882 home as possible in order to cut down on the resources used in transportation. “Throughout the whole process, from the conception of the product to the manufacturing, we are trying to do what we can,” says Lisa Branner, Venture co-owner. But being environmentally friendly doesn’t end with the skis and boards we choose. Hardcore skiers and riders know the importance of regular tunings when it comes to sliding fast on the slopes. But very few people realize the environmental damage a routine waxing can cause. In order to repel water and keep skis riding as fast as possible, most ski waxes contain perfluorochemicals (PFCs). These chemicals contain toxins that build up in our bloodstreams and groundwater supply. Not only do they increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease in wax technicians, but they never biodegrade. When summer comes around, the snow that melts and runs back into our water supply contains all the PFCs from yet another ski season. These days, skiers and riders have choices when it comes to wax. Purl, a company founded right off of Pearl Street in 1999, specializes in all-natural, biodegradable, non-fluorinated wax, and works hard to raise awareness about eco-friendly waxes. Purl Wax is a microcrystalline wax with additives like silicon that make for a BOULDER WEEKLY
slicker ride. Not to be confused with the synthetic substance silicone, silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element. According to co-owner Jill Van Slyke, Purl Wax “can go toe to toe with any of the fluorinated waxes out there.” Although Van Slyke grew up skiing and even raced in college, she had no clue what type of wax she was using. It wasn’t even something she thought about. Now, she wants skiers to be aware of the ways they can protect the environment while enjoying the sport. “We’re not necessarily seeing [PFCs] in huge amounts, but every little bit adds up so we need to make a choice,” she says. “To me it should be a simple choice.” Purl donates 1 percent of its profits to organizations like Protect Our Winters and the Nature Conservancy. If you aren’t ready to swap out all your gear for more eco-friendly alternatives, there are plenty of other ways to make skiing and riding gentler on the environment. Choose snow sports gear that is made in the U.S., carpool or ride buses to the mountains and take advantage of resort recycling programs. Branner has more advice for winter enthusiasts. “Go to the backcountry,” she says. “That is human-powered recreation, where you’re burning your own energy rather than sitting on a chairlift.” The products and practices may change, but hopefully we’ll be sliding on snow for years to come.

GEARGUIDE2017
Regardless of how icy the trails are or how lung-blasting cold the mountain air is, we know you care about getting outside just as much as we do. So, we took the liberty of testing and curating a winter gear selection just for you: the eco-conscious, trendy adventurer. We scoured the industry with two elements in mind: environmentally friendly products and procedures, and products that deliver warmth without bulk. We know when you buy the right product the first time, it’ll reduce future buying, replacements and repairs, serving you for years to come. Without further ado, here are our picks for this winter season.
[Brand] Outdoor Research
[Product name] Trailbreaker Pants You’ll never shy away from breaking your own trail in these pants. Thanks to the waterproofed lower leg and ventilated outer thighs that work in tandem to keep you dry and prevent overheating, it’s a breeze. With a pocket ready for your avalanche beacon and reinforced scuff guards, these durable pants will not only last, but they’ll stay a prime staple for years to come.
[Brand] Outdoor Research
[Brand] Nothwest Tech
[Product name] Deviator Hoody
[Product name] Custom Snow Jacket
Part puff, part knit — the mix of insulation and Polartec fabric technology provides the perfect balance of warmth and breathability when you’re outside working up a sweat. The rip-stop nylon front panels prevent tears, keeping the jacket alive and at your service for years. Thanks to its wind-resistance, it’s the perfect all-day layer — slender enough to fit under a shell or larger puff in the morning, and fierce enough on its own in the afternoon sun.
This fresh outerwear company custom designs and manufactures all of its products in Seattle. Skiers and snowboarders choose from a menu of color panels, zippers and pocket placements to create their own jackets and pants. Nick Marvick, founder and CEO, is proud of this approach, which is helping to eliminate waste in the manufacturing process. “We don’t make any extras and have them just lying around,” he says. “There’s definitely less waste.”
[Brand] Black Diamond
[Brand] prAna
[Product name] CoEfficient Fleece
[Product name] Caraway Tights
If you’re stepping into the backcountry — whether skiing, climbing or mountaineering — this is as good as it gets. We love the under-the-helmet hood, full-length zipper, thumbholes and power dry, high-efficiency fleece material — all of which maximize versatility. The slim cut fits easily under other layers, and the primary fabrics are Bluesign approved, meaning they’re sustainably and safely manufactured.
These sustainably sourced and built performance tights will keep you warm and dry while you make your way across trails, up cliff faces and down mountain slopes. The wide waistband and durable triangle gusset are constructed to last, while a wide range of motion won’t wear the seams. The butterysoft and stylish fabric (plus the reflective taping at the ankle seams) ensures you won’t go unnoticed while out and about.

The recycled fabric used in this waterproof down jacket is not only made from 27 plastic water bottles, but it’s also PFC- (a water-repellent bond typically used on water-resistant fabrics that aren’t biodegradable) and dye-free. Subtracting the dying process saves more than 24 gallons of water, compared to standard dyed jackets. When you move, it’s breathable and your hands stay warm with fleece-lined pockets. What more could you want?

These ultra-fine (200-weight), 100 percent merino wool bottoms offer all the warmth you’ll need during winter battles, with none of the scratch or the bulk. Merino wool naturally wicks away sweat and resists odors, so you can keep going on just one pair for as long as you need. Expect the best bang for your buck with this layer — durable and comfortable, thanks to the four-way stretch and chafe-reducing flatseam construction.
[Brand] Mountain Standard
[Product name] 1/4 Zip Polartec Power Grid [Product name] Polartec Power Grid Crew (right) We’re psyched this up-and-coming outdoor apparel brand calls Boulder home. These layers are a blend of award-winning Polartec fleece and breathable polyester, designed to reduce fabric weight while increasing warmth and compressibility.

Try it on, and you’ll never want to take it off.
[Brand] Patagonia
[Product name] Synchilla Alpine Hat
[Brand] Outdoor Research [Product name] Wind Pro Ear Band
Tackling the great wintery outdoors is a breeze with this wrapped around your hairline. The fleece’s hard finish deflects icy temperatures and chilling wind, and the flat-seam construction keeps it lying low, ready for a helmet placed right on top.
Made from more than 80-percent recycled material, this cozy and lightweight fleece hat is designed to easily pack down and shove into your pocket for later. It keeps your noggin’ warm while wicking away moisture so you don’t have to worry about icicles forming along your temples.
[Brand] Darn Tough Vermont
[Product name] Mountain and Mountain Top [Product name] Trail Magic (right) The high-density stitch count (1,441 stitches per square inch) delivers lasting durability without the bulk. These socks boast “legendary toughness” guaranteed to reduce the need to buy new socks year after year, and the antimicrobial merino wool fights odors and bacteria at the same time.
[Brand] Black Diamond
[Product name] Legend Gloves With a GORE-TEX® seal on the outside and PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation on the inside, your digits stay dry and toasty when fighting even the iciest of winter temps. The gloves 3D patterning technology affords them ample dexterity, which, when coupled with their thin, smooth and durable sheep leather, means you’ll easily forget these gloves aren’t just an extension of your body.

Park City, Utah
BY MEGAN WALSH Park City is Utah’s mountain town. From kitschy shops to snow-lined streets, this liberal city in an otherwise conservative state is a place to indulge in deep powder, exquisite cuisine and locally distilled whiskey. Located just 35 miles southeast of the Salt Lake City International Airport, accessibility is key to enjoying a whirlwind weekend you won’t soon forget.
FRIDAY SETTLE AND SHOP | 10 A.M.
Head to your hotel and settle in. If mountain luxury calls to you, book a suite at Deer Valley’s Stein Eriksen Lodge, “The Best Ski Hotel in the World.” Fireplaces, charming décor and ski-in ski-out accessibility make this one of the best hotels in Park City. After settling in, head down to Main Street to check out local shops like Burns Cowboy Shop and the Mountain Town Olive Oil Company.
FOOD AND GLORY | 1 P.M.
Inspired by Mexican street fare, El Chubasco offers delectable fish tacos and a salsa bar with spice levels and flavor profiles for everyone. After lunch, discover a bit of Olympic history by visiting the Utah Olympic Park near Kimball Junction. Wander through the museum and get a picture holding the Olympic torch, then get your adrenaline fill with an exhilarating Bobsled Adventure ride.
GET FUNKY | 6 P.M.
Reservations are required at Chimayo, a Spanish/American/Southwestern restaurant with creative plating and fusion flavors. Try the Duck Enchiladas, a local favorite, served with grilled onions, crisp duck confit and a poblano verde sauce. While the bar scene is tempting, head back to the hotel with a full belly, and rest up for a day of skiing ahead.

SATURDAY
SUNDAY
HEALTH NUT BREAKFAST | 8 A.M.
BRUNCH | 10 A.M.
Start your day right at a place that values nourishing both the body and soul. Harvest offers a variety of options for a quick breakfast like avocado egg toast with bacon or Paleo banana bread. And, of course, coffee.
ENTER THE WHITE ROOM | 9 A.M.
Enjoy a full day on the slopes at the skier-only Deer Valley, or the 7,300-acre Park City Mountain Resort. Both offer a variety of runs for the beginner or expert skier, and if Ullr, the god of winter, has graced the state with his presence, get lost in the endless powder stashes Utah is famous for.
LUNCH WITH A VIEW | 1 P.M.
While it might be hard to steal away from The Greatest Snow on Earth®, fuel up with lunch at Park City’s Summit Lodge, offering stunning views of the mountain. Or if you’ve been ripping groomers at Deer Valley, the St. Regis Restaurant offers a variety of comfort food.
BEST PART OF THE DAY, APRÉS | 6:00PM
Indulge in aprés-ski at High West Saloon, the only ski-in ski-out distillery in the country. A flight of four is $13, and as per Utah law, requires a sidecar snack, so try the Mac’n’Cheese: it’s pure indulgence.
MORE FOOD AND DRINK | 8 P.M.
After a belly warm with whiskey, walk over to No-Name Saloon to keep the party going. This local favorite is popping on Saturday nights. Order a bison burger just the way you like it, and wash it down with one of the many brews on the menu. Head to Rock & Reilly’s afterward to play a jumbo-sized game of Jenga.
WINTER SCENE ’17
I
After a late night, enjoy a late morning. Rise without an alarm and head to The Eating Establishment for brunch and bottomless coffee. This cozy establishment is the cure to every après-ski hangover. Try the Loaded Baked-Potato Omelette or the Ratatouille & Grits.
CRATER SOAK | 12:30 P.M.
The last 10,000 years have formed this geothermal hot springs, surrounding it in a limestone beehive-shaped cavern. Water remains between 90-96 degrees, and is the relaxing experience necessary after a day of shredding powder. Opportunities exist for those scuba-certified to dive in the only warm scuba destination in the continental United States. Partake in a SUP-yoga class or simply tour the grounds.
BOOK RETURN TICKET | 7 P.M.
As soon as you board the plane home, you’ll be online searching for tickets back to Utah. A weekend in Park City will only leave you wanting more. After enjoying the shops, geothermal hot springs and legendary Utah powder, what lucky friend will be your adventure buddy next time?

SIMI HAMILTON
olorado is home to several Olympic hopefuls as the countdown is on for the 2018 Games in PyeongChang, South Korea. Here’s the short-list of which hometown heroes to root for when the Olympics start on Feb. 9.
Hometown: Aspen Cross Country Skiing
MIKAELA SHIFFRIN Hometown: Vail Alpine Skiing
Fresh off her gold medal win in Sochi, Shiffrin plans to hit the slopes of PyeongChang in the 2018 Winter Olympics. The 22-year-old started skiing at 3 years old and eventually became the youngest slalom champion in Olympic history. She won all five of the slalom races she competed in during the 201617 season, making her a strong contender for gold in the upcoming games.
ARIELLE GOLD
Hometown: Steamboat Springs Snowboarding Gold possesses strength and technical ability on the half-pipe. After making the Olympic team in 2014, Gold dislocated her shoulder during pre-qualification practice. Her injury forced her out of the running in Sochi, but PyeongChang may be the 20-year-old’s chance for redemption. Gold’s 2015-16 season featured a podium finish at nearly every competition, and 2016-17 fared just as well. We might see Gold in South Korea working toward a medal to match her name.
I
Hamilton has competed in two Olympics and three World Championships, and he made the podium twice in the 2015-2016 season. He is a top cross-country sprinter, and while he hasn’t scored an Olympic medal, perhaps the third time’s the charm in 2018. Hamilton has come off a successful season, finishing 30th overall in the World Cup and taking fifth with teammate Erik Bjornsen at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Finland, the best results by an American male team in the event in World Championship history.
LINDSEY VONN Hometown: Vail Alpine Racing
One of the most successful female skiers in the world, Vonn is the only American woman to earn a downhill gold medal at the Olympics and the only American woman with four World Cup overall titles. She’s snagged the all-time win record for women with 76 World Cup wins. In the 2014-15 season, Vonn accomplished the first-ever U.S. podium sweep in Lake Louise, Alberta. After injuring her right arm at the beginning of last season, the 33-year-old took time to heal until midJanuary, but managed to win the bronze at the Switzerland World Championships.

A collapsed lung put him on the bench in Sochi, however, he started out his 2015 season strong with a podium tour, making the top three in the contests he entered.

ROAD TRIP: I-70 PIT STOPS BY EMMA MURRAY
W
hen the traffic on I-70 grinds to a halt, don’t freak out — you have options to get you off the highway and out of the car before you or another passenger loses their cool. The I-70 corridor has a ton of fun pit-stop options. So, when the going gets slow, pull over, grab a coffee, find a bite to eat, peruse some mountain attractions, or, if you’re in it for the long haul at the end of the day, enjoy some drinks (just one while you wait it out — you’re driving after all!) before the final push home. Here are a few of our favorite pit stops along the 157-mile highway stretch between Denver and Glenwood Springs.
EAGLE Color Coffee Roasters 717 Slyvan Lake Road 802-324-7985 Whether you need that caffeine fix to get you through the drive home, or you need a second dose before the long day of skiing ahead, hop off I-70 and make your way to this premium coffee house. They roast all their own beans in-house and serve freshly baked goods.
SILVER PLUME Bread Bar
VAIL La Cantina
1010 Main St. 720-722-7323
241 S. Frontage Road East 970-476-7661
Stop by this cute and cozy 19th-centurybread-bakery-turned-bar on Fridays and weekend afternoons for a drink and, if you’re lucky, some live music. The food is wholesome and the cocktails are inspired by famous figures from Silver Plume, honoring the mining history of the mountain region.
Located in Vail’s transportation center (read: hidden in a parking garage), this offthe-beaten-path Mexican dive is the perfect stop for a quick burrito or margarita. Loved by local ski bums and visitors alike, it’s a quick and reliable detour. Did we mention the free chips and salsa bar?
IDAHO SPRINGS Geothermal Springs
FRISCO Marina Park
302 Soda Creek Road 303-989-6666
267 Marina Road
Between 1903 and 1911, these geothermal caves were drilled into the mountains surrounding Idaho Springs to hold the mineral water flowing from the earth. Stop by to soak in the naturally-hot water — heated by the igneous magma deep in the Earth’s core — and let your traffic woes melt away.

Get some fresh air at the grassy shores of Lake Dillon Reservoir, Denver Water’s largest storage area and a local fishing, camping, hiking and boating hot spot.
