The many wonders of winter

T

he days are getting shorter and colder, inviting us to drag out the slow cooker, top off a steaming cup of cocoa and kick up our fuzzy-socked feet in front of a fire. But adventurous Coloradans aren’t the type to sit around for long, and with the snow-capped Rocky Mountains in our sun-drenched backyard, who could blame us?

In fact, there’s so much to see and do out there it can be a little overwhelming — but don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. It gives us great pleasure to present you with this year’s Winter Scene — a calendar detailing the amazing concerts, festivals and events along the Front Range and across the state that will help you fill your winter days and nights.

And in case you were wondering, we didn’t forget the slopes. With 25 ski resorts across the state, a person could fill the entire winter with nothing but powdery, tree-dodging, mogul-jumping, pipe-riding, downhill ad-

venture. We’ve given you a breakdown of each resort, from A-Basin to Wolf Creek, so you can figure out which resort will cater best to you needs, whether that’s affordability, proximity or adrenaline-pumping, backcountry journeys.

So while we endorse a hearty stew, a cup of cocoa and a good sit by the fire, we encourage you to get out there and explore this beautiful state, whether you’re tearing fresh tracks in the backcountry of the Elk Mountains, taking in a concert at the Fox Theatre or dressing like a Viking for Breckenridge’s ULLR Fest. We hope our Winter Scene guide helps you find something new this winter, an adventure that will create a lifetime of memories and smiles. So go ahead and toss some veggies in the slow cooker and get out there and play. Soup’s on when you get back.

athletes from more than 70 nations will descend upon Beaver Creek for the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championship. To prepare for this, the resort has replaced the Centennial Express Lift with a new high-speed, state-of-theart combination lift and polished the women’s speed course. Skiers will also enjoy the addition of 24 fully automated snowmaking guns on Gold Dust trail.

The flagship peak 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.

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.

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

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. Copper is currently undertaking a multi-year enhancement of the resort’s high alpine skiing and riding experience, including expanded terrain, improved lift access and additional cat skiing operations. Last year, the resort upgraded and replaced the Storm King lift and installed Celebrity Ridge, a new surface lift at the top of the Sierra chairlift.

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-$103 Adult/ $62-$95 Teen/$55-$85 Sr. /$38-$58 Child Opening Date: Nov. 26 (Free) Hit up the opening day at Crested Butte and ski free all day long — that’s right. No money. And this year, Crested Butte has some new offerings on and off the slopes to sweeten the pot. Upgrades to the tubing hill and snow bike rentals provide new ways to hit the slopes, and thinning on gladed runs will offer intermediate skiers more options to glide between the pines.

Slopeside rack systems promise to streamline your transition off the mountain and into the lodge.

ELDORA Peak: 10,800 feet Base: 9,200 feet Vertical Rise: 1,600 feet Average Snowfall: 300 inches Skiable Acres: 680 Lifts: 11 Trails: 53 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 20/50/30 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: N Day Ticket Price: TBD (2013-14 rates were $79 Adult/ $46 Senior/$46 Junior) Opening Date: Nov. 21 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.

Locals also enjoy the miles of cross-country terrain available at the resort.

GRANBY RANCH Peak: 9,202 feet Base: 8,202 feet Vertical Rise: 1,000 feet Average Snowfall: 220 inches Snowmaking Acres: 245 Skiable Acres: 406 Lifts: 6 Trails: 41 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 30/50/20 Bowl Skiing: N Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: N Day Ticket Price: $61-$66 Adult/ $44-$49 Se-

nior/$39-$44 Junior Opening Date: Dec. 11 Granby Ranch was built with the family in mind — a place to escape the distractions of everyday life and connect with those you hold dear. 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 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.

HOWELSEN HILL Peak: 7,136 feet Base: 6,696 feet Vertical Rise: 440 feet Average Snowfall: 150 inches Skiable Acres: 50 Lifts: 4 Trails: 17 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 25/20/55 Bowl Skiing: N Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: N Day Ticket Price: $25 Adult/$15 Sr./$8 Child/$15 Youth Opening Date: Nov. 29 Howelsen is the oldest continually operating ski jump in Colorado with a history of providing an Olympic training ground that dates to 1915 — and has sent 79 athletes to the games. Even with such a storied history, Howelsen Hill offers visitors the chance to ski the Rockies without emptying their bank accounts.

The specialty mountain trains Olympic hopefuls in alpine, nordic, freestyle and snowboarding. In addition to the alpine runs, the hill has 13 miles of crosssee SKI AREAS Page 6

The resort offers long green and blue groomers to cruise as well as a terrain park for freestyle skiers and legendary tree skiing. Take the mountaintop snowcat tours to touch on even more terrain, or get your legs burning on long bump runs at the North Peak. With night skiing available, the resort holds claim to the longest ski day in Colorado, so dress in warm layers, watch the sun set over the Rocky Mountains and ski under the stars.

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

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.

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 their glades — wide-open aspen groves that often go untracked.

SKI AREAS from Page 6 Day Ticket Price: $77 Adult/$66 Sr./$60 Student/$46 Child Opening Date: Nov. 28 Purgatory Mountain claims its fame stems from consistent, dry powder that arrives in frequent storms followed by sunny, bluebird days. New this year to Purgatory are Riblett Park and Pinkerton Starter Park, bringing the grand total of terrain parks at Purgatory to five. 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.

It’s unique, small, inefficient, 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. Expert guides help get you started.

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.

Yet somehow, Snowmass stays uncrowded, despite its steep runs, cruisers, gorgeous views and all-around excellent skiing.

STEAMBOAT Peak: 10,568 feet Base: 6,900 feet Vertical Rise: 3,668 feet Average Snowfall: 350 inches Snowmaking Acres: 375 Skiable Acres: 2,965 Lifts: 16 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) $105 Adult/$75 Sr./$63 Child Opening Date: Nov. 26 Steamboat’s great claims to fame are light, fluffy, trademark-able powder and a wealth of gladed runs.

Take advantage of Steamboat’s night skiing hours to get the most out of your day on the slopes. In daylight, both the front side 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 Snowmaking Acres: 21 Skiable Acres: 680 Lifts: 3 Trails: 70 % of Beginner/Intermediate/ Expert Terrain: 20/55/25 Bowl Skiing: N Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: N Full-Day Ticket Price: $60 Adult/$45 Sr./$45 Child Opening Date: Dec. 5 Why would Front Rangers drive past Breckenridge, past Loveland, past Vail and all the way out to Glenwood Springs for little Sunlight Mountain? 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 skiing 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: 23/36/41 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: Heliskiing Resort: Y Two-Day Ticket Price: (Based on online pre-sale prices for peak season) $217 Adult/$191 Sr./$129 Child Opening Date: Nov. 27 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 their new, revamped 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.

Last season the resort debuted a new six-passenger chairlift designed to speed skiers and riders to the Back Bowls and Blue Sky Basin and shrink lift lines. Beginner area Gopher Hill Lift also upgraded from a double to a triple chair to serve beginners. This year Vail is beginning several ski programs for women, including four-hour lessons that provide time for dropoff and pickup for kids lessons, as well as Mommy & Me lessons for a little mother/daughter bonding time. So ladies, go get your girl power on at Vail.

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: 143 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 8/37/55 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: Y Day Ticket Price: (Based on online pre-sale prices for peak season) $95 Adult/$86 Sr./$55 Child Opening Date: Nov. 12 This year it’s the 75th anniversary season at Winter Park Resort, and you can get in on the celebration by swishing down one of the seven separate territories the resort makes available to skiers under one pass. A handy slider on www.winterparkresort. com lets skiers and snowboarders read up on each territory, sorted from “chill” to “challenging,” with the beginner-friendly Winter Park at one end and the double-black Cirque at the other.

WOLF CREEK Peak: 11,904 feet Base: 10,300 feet Vertical Rise: 1,604 feet Average Snowfall: 430 inches Snowmaking Acres: 0 Skiable Acres: 1,600 Lifts: 7 Trails: 77 % of Beginner/Intermediate/Expert Terrain: 20/35/45 Bowl Skiing: Y Powdercat Skiing: N Resort: N Day Ticket Price: $63 Adult/$34 Sr./$34 Child Opening Date: Nov. 7 Kicking off its 75th season this year, Wolf Creek, tucked away west of Alamosa, is southern Colorado’s snowiest spot. Tree skiing is a draw, as is near-constant deep snow; fresh powder is found almost daily.

Some cross-country is available, but generally Wolf Creek is a no-frills downhill rush, run after run.

Chrissie Hynde is no pretender. Well that’s not exactly true. In fact, Hynde is the only constant member of Pretenders since the group formed in 1978. At this point in her career, Hynde is truly a legendary figure in rock and roll history. She is one of the women who helped usher in the acceptance of hard rockin’ women some 35 years ago.

But don’t get to thinking that Hynde is selling tickets these days based on reputation alone. She is still pushing her musical envelope and is an ongoing force of nature.

If you can make it to this show, do it.

Andy Sydow, Megan Burtt, and Lindsey Saunders — 8 p.m. The Laughing Goat, 1709 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-440-4628.

This five-time Grammy winner is perhaps best known for his work as a founding member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. But as a solo act, Victor Wooten has won his own Grammys along with just about every award and accolade possible for a bass player. Rolling Stone voted Wooten one of the top ten bassists of all time. But what would you expect from a guy who has been playing professionally since he was five years old. So if you are looking for a great night of music, don’t even think about missing this show.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 16 Willy Porter — Doors: 8 p.m. Daniels Hall, 71 E. Yale Ave., Denver, 303-777-1003.

Willy Porter can flat out play the guitar. In the early part of his career, which began in 1990, he was best known for his intricate finger picking style. The Boston Globe wrote that he possesses “the Olympian speed of Leo Kottke bolstered by rootsy vocals.” These days Porter concentrates far more on those rootsy vocals and has become a beloved signer/songwriter. His lyrics are a bit offbeat, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always worth considering. If you haven’t caught his act, this is a great chance to see him up close and personal.

Competitors are expected to clock in at speeds of more than 75 miles per hours as they tear down the iconic runs “Raptor” and “Birds of Prey,” which has a 40 degree slope in its steepest section.
