Don’t hibernate this winter

B

ears hibernate, but you don’t have to. Just because the thermometer has dropped a few degrees and the rain has turned to snow doesn’t mean that it’s time to put on 40 pounds, curl up by a fire and wait for spring. You live in Colorado for Pete’s sake. Winter just means it’s time to change sports, switch from fresh locally grown veggies to pickled locally grown veggies and write down 15 excuses you can use to call in sick at work every time your favorite mountain gets a foot of fresh snow.

It’s also the time of year that many of us think is actually Colorado’s most beautiful. You may have to drive a little slower in the snow, but there is nothing like the Rocky Mountains in winter to take your breath away. So head on up to the high country every chance you get over the next four months. You’ll find plenty to do up there and you don’t have to be on skis, snowshoes, a board, have an ice ax in your hand or be screaming down a mountain on a tube to have a great time — though it doesn’t hurt.

Every year we put together the state’s most comprehensive

Boulder Weekly Winter Scene 2015-2016

guide to wintertime fun in Colorado, and this is it. Winter Scene gives you a guide to the state’s many ski resorts along with critical information like which areas added terrain since last year, but that’s just the beginning. It also gives you a massive concert list of all the music playing up and down the Front Range over the next four months and trust us, this winter has some great shows.

In addition, we’ve also provided a calendar of all the great events and festivals happening between now and spring on the Front Range. And for those of you who have no fear of chain laws and want to explore all the fun happening across Colorado, we’ve also added a comprehensive calendar of events and festivals that includes nearly every noteworthy happening this winter, whether it’s in Steamboat, Durango, Pagosa, Vail, Aspen or Winter Park, and all points in between.

So get out there and have a great winter. Watch out for avalanches while you’re driving. You’ll want to avoid them everywhere except on the way to resorts that will give you a free season pass if one hits you. Only in Colorado.

Day Ticket Price (Based on online pre-sale prices for peak season): $139 Adult/$89 Child/$89 Senior Opening Date: Nov. 26 The flagship of the Aspen/Snowmass ski family, Aspen Mountain is famous for its black diamond terrain, which has made it a beloved ski destination for locals and travelers alike since 1947. Glades, bumps and steeps dot the inbound ski areas, but Aspen Mountain Powder Tours will gladly hook you up to make some fresh tracks on the backside if you’re looking for an out-of-bounds experience.

The expansion added 10 new trails and three new bowls, two with an intermediate rating. The northern expansion of the resort is touted as the largest expansion to a North American ski resort in a decade and is Breckenridge’s first since the 2002 addition of Peak 7. Of the added acres, 400 are served by two new lifts, and 143 are hike-to terrain.

Visitors can also play on the resort’s well-loved groomers and bump runs.

BEAVER CREEK Peak: 11,440 feet Base: 8,100 feet Vertical Rise: 3,340 feet Average Snowfall: 325 inches Skiable Acres: 1,832 Lifts: 25 Trails: 149 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 19/43/38 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: Y Day Ticket Price (Based on online pre-sales for peak season): $151 Adult/$104 Child/$141 Senior Opening Date: Nov. 25 Beaver Creek was designed as the hopeful host-site for a Winter Olympics that never arrived, but the Olympic Games’ loss is Colorado’s gain — this mountain boasts miles of cruisers and plenty of wellspaced aspen groves to play in. In early December, the Birds of Prey event will be the only U.S. stop of the men’s Audi FIS Ski World Cup, and this is evidence of the mountain’s varying terrain. From one of the most formidable downhill courses in the world to mellow groomers, Beaver Creek can meet the needs of any skier or boarder.

Buttermilk boasts two terrain parks, including a 22-foot super-pipe for the extreme skier or rider, as well as Panda Pipe and Snowboard Schools Park for beginners.

COPPER MOUNTAIN Peak: 12,313 feet Base: 9,712 feet Vertical Rise: 2,601 feet Average Snowfall: 306 inches Skiable Acres: 2,465 Lifts: 23 Trails: 140 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 21/25/54 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: Y Resort: Y Day Ticket Price (Based on online pre-sale prices for peak season, walk up/window rated TBD): $98 Adult/$64 Child/$64 Senior Opening Date: Nov. 6 Located just 75 miles west of Denver, Copper Mountain is an ideal destination for locals and travelers.

Copper is one of Summit County’s largest ski areas, with more than 2,400 skiable acres including gently sloping runs on the west that become progressively steeper as you head east. Over the past few years, Copper has been enhancing its high alpine skiing and riding experiences, including expanded terrain, improved lift access and additional cat skiing operations. The resort is also home to Woodward at Copper, featuring trampolines and a wooden ramp into a foam pit to get tricks ready to take on snow, as well as skateboarding bowls and ramps, for those more inclined to the extreme.

CRESTED BUTTE Peak: 12,162 feet Base: 9,375 feet Vertical Rise: 3,062 feet Average Snowfall: 300 inches Skiable Acres: 1,547 Lifts: 15 Trails: 121 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 27/57/16 Bowl Skiing: Y

Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: Y Day Ticket Price: $69-$111 Adult/$62-$100 Teen/$38-$61 Child/$55-$89 Senior Opening Date: Nov. 25 (Free) Hit up the opening day at Crested Butte and ski free all day long — that’s right. No money. Known as the last great Colorado ski town, the town of Crested Butte near Gunnison is quaint and charming. It’s also the Wildflower Capital of Colorado, so the summers are just as beautiful as the winters. During the ski season, Crested Butte is known for its varying terrain.

The upper part of the mountain has some of the most extreme inbounds skiing in the U.S. with steep and rocky chutes, glades and bowls. There is still ample terrain for beginners and intermediates to ski lower down the mountain. Powder is not in short supply, helped by the lack of crowds.

cals also enjoy the miles of cross-country ski terrain available at the resort. Eldora will soon begin work on an expansion that will include a new 850-seat Challenge Mountain guest facility and renovation of the existing Lookout guest facility.

Day Ticket Price: $64-$69 Adult/$39-$44 Junior/$44-$49 Senior Opening Date: Dec. 17 Granby Ranch was built with the family in mind.

Granby Ranch features night skiing and short runs, with all trails beginning at one point and ending at the base to keep families together. While Granby Ranch recently expanded its intermediate terrain at the expense of some beginner runs, families will still appreciate the lack of maniacs screaming down the slopes. As with many other smaller ski areas, Granby Ranch is a great way to spend a day as part of a weekend in the towns north of Winter Park.

Day Ticket Price: TBD (2014-2015 rates were $79 Adult/$46 Junior/$46 Senior) Opening Date: Nov. 20 Eldora puts skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing right in Boulder’s backyard.

But proximity is only part of the appeal of this local playground — Eldora offers a great teaching program for children; a women’s program for ladies looking to ski, ride or tele; and tight, steep trees that put a high demand on technical skill and attention to detail. Lo-

In addition to the alpine runs, the hill has 13 miles of cross-country skiing trails.

The Ridge has recently opened cat skiing, conditions permitting, and has hike-to terrain that wraps around the entire top of the open basin — beautiful, steep, wide open and often deep powder skiing.

Spend Valentine’s Day there and you’ll be knee deep in lovebirds, too.

MONARCH Peak: 11,952 feet Base: 10,790 feet Vertical Rise: 1,162 feet Average Snowfall: 350 inches Skiable Acres: 800 Lifts: 8 Trails: 53 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 27/30/43 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: Y Resort: N Day Ticket Price: (walk-in, online): $74, $64 Adult/ $45, $42 Teen/ $30, $24 Junior/ $45, $42 Senior/FREE for seniors 69+ and children under 6 Opening Date: Nov. 28 (Tentative) In a world of man-made snow, Monarch eschews the snow guns in favor of waiting on the hundreds of inches of snow that regularly fall across this resort. Monarch has steadily been improving the skiing and riding experience by adding backcountry terrain in Mirkwood Basin for advanced skiers and adding two conveyor lifts for the newbies. Skiers can tap into cat skiing tours to access a ranging area of trees and steep bowls or hike to an additional 130 acres of extreme terrain. But the lift-accessed trees are also touted as some of the most enjoyable in the state — and often untouched.

Snowmass

Perched on the side of the 10,000-foot-high Grand Mesa in Western Colorado, Powderhorn Mountain Resort is a sleeper and a treat. The resort has snagged some of the best snow in the state in recent years and the place rarely has lift lines, allowing you to make the most of your day. And you’ll want to spend at least part of it in the glades — wideopen aspen groves that often go untracked at Powderhorn. You’ll never be far from a powder stash.

PURGATORY RESORT Peak: 10,822 feet Base: 8,793 feet Vertical Rise: 2,029 feet Average Snowfall: 260 inches Skiable Acres: 1,360 Lifts: 10 Trails: 85 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 20/45/35 Bowl Skiing: N Powdercat Skiing: Y Resort: Y Day Ticket Price: $85 Adult/$68 Teen/$53 Child/$73 Senior/$30 80+ Opening Date: Nov. 21 Purgatory Mountain claims its fame stems from consistent, dry powder that arrives in frequent storms followed by sunny, bluebird days. Don’t let the name deceive you, though — Purgatory is a great place for families.

Located close to the historic town of Durango, the mountain rarely has large crowds. A great place for beginners and intermediate skiers and riders, Purgatory is full of trails containing rolling hills. For a walk on

the wilder side, the San Juan Untracked, formerly The San Juan Ski Company, runs cat skiing and snowboarding operations out of the resort that access 35,000 acres of bowls, cliffs and chutes.

SILVERTON Peak: 13,487 feet Base: 10,400 feet Vertical Rise: 3,287 feet Average Snowfall: 400 inches Skiable Acres: 1,819 Lifts: 1 Trails: 69 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 0/0/100 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: Heliskiing Resort: N Day Ticket Price: $49 Unguided/$139+ Guided Opening Date: Dec. 21 While the ski industry continues to push for more and more skiers, features, amenities and most of all, land, Silverton continues stubbornly doing its thing. It’s unique, small, challenging, old-school — it’s basically the independent craft brewery or the farm-to-table restaurant of skiing.

It’s a single lift or a helicopter ride, then a steep drop down the backcountry, full of chutes and drops. Silverton only allows 475 skiers or less per day to encourage ecological balance. To ride here, you have to have a beacon, shovel and probe, which you can rent at the mountain. see SKI AREAS Page 8

And Ski Cooper makes it easy for even large families to enjoy a day on the slopes by offering low prices. Snowcats expand the skiable area from 400 to 2,400 acres and grant skiers and snowboarders even more views of the highest mountains in the state.

SNOWMASS Peak: 12,510 feet Base: 8,104 feet Vertical Rise: 4,406 feet Average Snowfall: 300 inches Skiable Acres: 3,332 Lifts: 21 Trails: 94 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 6/47/47 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: Y Day Ticket Price (Based on online pre-sale prices for peak season): $139 Adult/$89 Child/$89 Teen/$89 Senior Opening Date: Nov. 26 Not far from Aspen Mountain is Snowmass, which boasts the most vertical rise of any ski resort in the country. Yet somehow, Snowmass stays uncrowded, despite its steep runs, cruisers, gorgeous views and all-around excellent skiing. Surrounded by the charming Snowmass Village, it’s a great place for families.

STEAMBOAT Peak: 10,568 feet Base: 6,900 feet Vertical Rise: 3,668 feet Average Snowfall: 352 inches Skiable Acres: 2,965 Lifts: 18 Trails: 165 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 14/42/44 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: Y Resort: Y Day Ticket Price: (Based on online pre-sale prices for peak season) $126 Adult/$110 Junior/$77 Child/$94 Senior/$10 for 0-5 Opening Date: Nov. 26 Steamboat’s great claims to fame are light, fluffy, trademark-able powder and a wealth of graded runs.

Take advantage of Steamboat’s night skin hours to get the most out of your day on the slopes. In daylight, both the front and back bowls make for great skiing.

SUNLIGHT Peak: 9,895 feet Base: 7,885 feet Vertical Rise: 2,010 feet Average Snowfall: 250 inches Skiable Acres: 680 Lifts: 3 Trails: 67 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 20/55/25 Bowl Skiing: N Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: N Day Ticket Price: $60 Adult/$45 Child/$45 Senior/ Free for 80+, 5 and under Opening Date: Dec. 11 Why would Front Rangers drive past Breckenridge, past Loveland, past Vail and all the way out to Glenwood Springs for little Sunlight Mountain Resort?

Economics. Sunlight offers tickets at half the price of some larger ski areas, provides free parking and emphasizes no waiting at its lifts — which adds up to a lot more skin per dollar than a lot of other ski areas.

TELLURIDE Peak: 13,150 feet Base: 8,725 feet Vertical Rise: 4,425 feet Average Snowfall: 309 inches Skiable Acres: 2,000 Lifts: 18 Trails: 127 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 16/30/54 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: Heliskiing Resort: Y Day Ticket Price: (Based on online pre-sales for peak season) $122 Adult/$72 Child/$107 Senior Opening Date: Nov. 28 Telluride offers a mountain experience for skiers of all levels, where beginners and intermediates can ride to the highest peaks and enjoy views typically reserved for the advanced skier. There’s steep terrain, including the Gold Hill Chutes accessed by the Gold Hill Stairs, Palmyra Peak and Revelation Bowl and the recently-updated terrain park. And the total vertical drop of an astonishing 4,425 feet is pretty eye-catching. There’s Nordic skiing, too, and some of the fanciest après opportunities around.

VAIL Peak: 11,570 feet Base: 8,120 feet Vertical Rise: 3,450 feet Average Snowfall: 350 inches Skiable Acres: 5,289 Lifts: 31 Trails: 193 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 18/29/53 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: Y Resort: Y

Wolf Creek Day Ticket Price: (Based on online pre-sales for peak season) $151 Adult/$104 Child/$141 Senior Opening Date: Nov. 21 One of the largest ski resorts in the world, with more than 5,200 acres of terrain and back bowls that cover seven miles, Vail is legendary. There are great terrain options for the whole family, ranging from graceful groomers and moguls to cliff drops and open glades.

Not to mention Blue Sky Basin, which contains some of the best hidden gems in Colorado if you catch it on a powder day. The four distinct base areas are linked by free buses and heated walkways and lined with a variety of shops and charming dining options. Kids are sure to enjoy the ice skating rink and awesome lesson programs, too.

WINTER PARK/MARY JANE Peak: 12,060 feet Base: 9,000 feet Vertical Rise: 3,060 feet Average Snowfall: 348 inches Snowmaking Acres: 313 Skiable Acres: 3,081 Lifts: 25 Trails: 153 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 24/38/39 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: Y Day Ticket Price: (Based on online pre-sales for peak season) $112 Adult/$64 Child/$10 5 and under/$91 Senior Opening Date: Nov. 18 With a history spanning more than 75 years, Winter Park is Colorado’s longest continually running ski

resort. Known for its world-renowned bumps on the Mary Jane territory, the resort is only 67 miles northwest of Denver. And it does not disappoint. The mountain is split into the Seven Territories that range from “chill” to “challenging,” with the mellow Winter Park at one end and the double-black Vasquez Cirque at the other, making it accessible for skiers and riders of all levels.

WOLF CREEK Peak: 11,904 feet Base: 10,300 feet Vertical Rise: 1,604 feet Average Snowfall: 430 inches Skiable Acres: 1,600 Lifts: 8 Trails: 77 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 20/35/45 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: N Day Ticket Price: $65 Adult/$34 Child/$36 Senior/ Free for 80+ Opening Date: Nov. 6 Last season was number 75 for Wolf Creek and the powder is as good as ever. Known for having the most snow in Colorado, the mountain is tucked away west of Alamosa in an area not often graced by Front Rangers. Spanning a high alpine ridge, Wolf Creek is notable for its incredible powder and hike-to terrain, ranging from moderately steep to expert-only chutes and bowls. Tree skiing here will never disappoint and with mellow lift lines, you’ll be getting pow shots all day.

Saturday, Jan. 23, 8 p.m., Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax, Denver, 303-832-1874.

If jam bands are your thing then you probably know a lot about moe. The band formed in Buffalo in 1989 and has built a steady and ravenous following over the last few decades. Their jams are a mix of rock, prog rock, a little psychedelic stuff and some good old folk. Their status as festival favorites speaks to the energy they bring to their live performances, which can go hours long — as jam bands are wont to do. Pick up tickets for their appearance at the Ogden Theatre and prepare yourself for a night of crunching out.

Yes, THAT Kevin Smith — the writer, comedian, podcaster and, most recognizably, film director of Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob fame. Come listen as a fat, lazy slob gives you advice about your life, based on experiences from his own boring-ass life (and if you didn’t get those jokes, well, tough sh*t). This icon of ’90s cult classic movies is sure to have you laughing and reminiscing.

The 38th Annual Snowdown January 27 through 31, Durango, www.snowdown.org Thirty-eight years ago the people of Durango were getting really board every January. There was nothing to do, hardly any tourist and depression ruled the day. But then someone suggested throwing a giant themed party and all was right in the world again.

Don’t miss this bizarre happening. This year’s theme is the ’80s. As the website says, “What in the ’80’s is the focus of the ’80’s theme for Snowdown 2016? Is it the music? Is it the movies? Is it the fashions? Is it the hair? The answer to all of those questions is yes!” So get in your car, put on your favorite or most despised hair-band music — It doesn’t matter which — dress like an idiot, use a whole bottle of hair gel, drive to Durango, get out of your car and scream, “Let the party begin.”

Your Januarys will never be the same.
