n 2004, Barry Schwartz wrote a book called The Paradox of Choice. In it, he argues reducing the amount of choices presented to a consumer will lessen the amount of anxiety they feel when making a decision. This theory sent mini shock waves through Western society, which has traditionally uphheld freedom, and by extension choice, as a diehard value. Since then, critics have argued no meaningful connection actually exists between the number of choices presented to someone and their anxiety levels, because they haven’t been able to duplicate Schwartz’s original research findings.

Just in case Schwartz’s theory is true, we’ve gone ahead and culled the events, eateries, information and activities around

Following a historically dry winter in Colorado, 2018 summer activities may be at risk as wildfire potential grows by Will Brendza

ore than half of Colorado’s annual water supply comes from seasonal snowmelt. Winter fills the high country with moisture, which is gradually released throughout the state by springtime sunshine.

That water is the lifeblood of Colorado’s river towns; it fuels their businesses and nurtures local river lovers, providing not only recre-

According to the May 1, 2018 Colorado Water Supply Outlook Report by the NRCS, snowpack statewide is hovering at 57 percent of normal — down from 68 percent last month. And, as Domonokos explains, even those numbers don’t tell the full story.

This past winter, Colorado had historically low snowfall. And when snowpack is poor in Colorado, it can have negative implications for summer recreation — both on the water and on land.

Domonokos.

But in the southern portion of the state, snowpack is disconcertingly low. The Arkansas and Gunnison basins are at 37 and 32 percent of normal, respectively; while the combined Southwest basin is hovering at 11 percent and the Upper Rio Grande basin is at WATER continued on page 16

river sporting events are feeling generally optimistic about their water.

“We were absolutely a little concerned earlier that things weren’t looking good,” says Elisha McArther, a board member of the FIBArk competition out of Salida. FIBArk, the oldest whitewater festival in the country, has been hosted annually along the Arkansas River since 1949, and this year that basin has been consistently deprived of precipitation.

So, in anticipation of a low water year, the Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District began sequestering water early, filling up their reservoirs as much as possible. That preparatory measure set FIBArk up nicely for what McArther thinks will be an average year.

And average is very good news.

“Average years are the best for

only 8 percent.

“That is abnormal,” Domonokos says. “Some of those basins in the southern portion of the state are the second lowest they’ve been in over a 35-year period of records.”

The outlook report goes on to forecast equally grim streamflow across the state. The North and South Platte basins are predicted to have reasonably healthy streamflow, between 70 and even 99 percent of normal in places like the Cache la Poudre drainage. But the rest of Colorado’s anticipated runoff volume will likely be drier than normal.

Despite that, people involved with some of the state’s largest

business,” she says. “We’re not scared about events being canceled because of high water, and we’re not scared of having to get creative [to manage] with low water.”

With improving streamflow in the northern Colorado river basins and the Arkansas River basin, opportunities for water recreation will remain abundant throughout the summer and across much of the state. However, the Gunnison, Upper Rio Grande and combined Southwest basins will all experience a short, dry river season.

Meager snowpack doesn’t just affect water activities, though.

As many Coloradans are painfully aware, it also boosts the likelihood of wildfires. And this year, agencies like the Department of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) are already standing by on high alert.

Caley Fisher, who works for the DFPC, said that when the Wildland Fire Potential Outlook for this year came out, Colorado was looking at the driest, hottest and lowest humidity winter since 2013. “That really did have all of us worried,” says Fisher. “And we’re still on our toes.”

The lack of snowpack has exposed dead fuel in the mountains that is normally covered by ice or snow. That, in combination with the late spring green-up caused by a lack of moisture, means that significant wildfire potential will exist across the Rockies from late May all the way through August.

Even though the remainder of the year will bring some precipitation — significant or not — Fisher and the DFPC aren’t about to let their guards down. After all, over half of the state is already experiencing moderate to exceptional drought conditions — laying the groundwork for a fire-filled summer.

“We’re forward-thinking and we think that this could be a pretty bad fire season,” says Fisher, “and we’re telling people that they need to be prepared for that.”

Barring any significant spurts of precipitation, outdoor enthusiasts can expect fire bans to be in place for much of the summer and fall, throughout much of the state and particularly in the south. So, pack up those fantasies of fireworks and bonBOULDER WEEKLY

fires and dust off the propane stoves — unfortunately, 2018 is likely going to be a tinderbox summer.

Fortunately for local businesses, tourism is expected to remain steady. The Colorado Office of Tourism says tourism in the state has been, and will continue to be, on the rise. Amber King, with the Tourism Office, explains that most of the state’s visitors aren’t planning their trips around streamflow or precipi-

tation rates.

“While the snowpack does affect visitation, we often find that it really doesn’t impact our long-haul travelers,” says King. “They tend to be less affected by the snow conditions than our local folk.”

That is to say, unless rampant wildfires torch the land and shroud the state in dark smoke, it’s doubtful that people are going to change their vacation plans or business

trips because there isn’t enough whitewater. Most tourists are just looking for a beautiful escape, regardless of how high the rivers are.

While we can’t be sure of what the weather will bring as the year moves forward, right now Colorado’s snowpack is as low as it’s ever been, according to records.

And that is surely going to affect the way this summer plays out in the wilderness.

ETHNICEATERIES

GLOBAL HOME COOKING BY JOHN LEHNDORFF One food critic’s favorite, affordable, local, authentic ethnic eateries

P

eople don’t come to Boulder County and the Front Range to eat authentic regional Chinese fare, Argentinean empanadas and Thai curries. Visitors expect to find lots of craft brews and American eateries instead.

It’s great when folks finally get to the metro area and discover the thriving culinary scene driven by decades of immigrants from across the globe. As a writer, food radio host and occasional culinary tour guide, I often get asked to recommend restaurants. Here are some of my favorite, affordable ethnic eateries with an emphasis on new and less familiar, underthe-radar destinations. Some of the locations require a short road trip and are perfect for a warm mid-summer’s night excursion.

Flower Pepper Chinese Restaurant, 2655 Broadway, Boulder, flowerpeppereats.com What: Traditional Chinese fare dished in a tiny eatery tucked in the side of a North Boulder parking structure.

Order This: Soup-filled dumplings, dan dan noodles and Taiwanese stewed pork belly.

Rincon Argentino, 2525 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, rinconargentinoboulder.com What: A genuine celebration of Argentinean fare with a tango flair.

Order This: More than a dozen empanada varieties, including the mushroom-and-garlic stuffed hongos, plus steak sandwiches with chimichurri sauce and alfajors, the sweet dulce de leche cookies.

Little Wild Horse & Bell Canyon

San Rafael Swell Slot Canyon Hiking, Utah

N

ow that rock climbing, trail running and mountain biking have seemingly overrun every trail and cliff face in the West, we’re predicting canyoneering to be the next popular adventure hit. So, we sent our Art Director Susan France out on a mission to scope out the scene. She traveled to the San Rafael Swell in Utah to follow Little Wild Horse and Bell Canyon, an 8-mile loop that takes about four hours. Her take?

“It was such a magical experience, in terms of viewing the many various geological rock formations. The rock surfaces changed many times throughout the hike on both trails.”

“Sunset was when the magic really began!”

France says. “It was also amazing to see all of the various locations that people were able to utilize just by pulling off the road to camp. Another option for staying overnight is the nearby town of Green River, where you have several lodging locations and restaurants to choose from.”

here are no two words in the English language that evoke joy in the hearts of children like “school’s out.” Unfortunately, those same two words are also notorious for striking fear and dread in parents’ hearts. But if you’re fortunate enough to find yourself in Boulder County this summer, there’s an arsenal of fun, free and cheap familyfriendly activities at your fingertips. Here are a few of our favorites.

THE BAY AQUATIC PARK

250 Spader Way, Broomfield Admission: $5 for Broomfield residents, $7 for non-residents ages 4-17 and 60+, $9 for non-residents ages 18-59. Free for all children 3 and under with a paying adult.

Hours vary according to week; check website for details. broomfield.org/2651/ The-Bay-Aquatic-Park

W

hile the Bay is not in Boulder proper, it’s well worth taking a 15-minute drive outside the bubble when you need to cool off. The Bay has everything you’d expect from a much larger (and more expensive) water park — think body slide, tube slides and spray ground — without being overwhelming. Designed for children ages 1-12 years old, the ADA accessible facility also has a large pool, a pool just for tots and a picnic area.

BOULDER FARMERS MARKET

Arapahoe, Boulder Admission: Free Saturdays 8 a.m.-2 p.m., Wednesdays 4-8 p.m., through Nov. 17.

F

eaturing fresh produce and baked goods from local farms and vendors as well as a plethora of food trucks, you and the kids have a buffet of flavors to explore, from salad fixings to fresh, local meat to plates of tacos and ice cream cones. Just beyond the market’s edge, you can relax on a blanket under the shade of one of Central Park’s mature trees, dip your feet and splash around in the creek or just people watch.

BOULDER RESERVOIR

5565 N. 51st St., Boulder Admission: $4 for ages 3-18, $7 for ages 19-59, $5 age 60+ Hours vary; check website for details. bouldercolorado.gov/parks-rec/boulderreservoir

J

ust because we’re in a landlocked state doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the beach. The Boulder Reservoir offers a swim beach in addition to boat and stand-up paddleboard rentals all summer long; adventures of all sorts await.

Amenities include bathrooms, showers and a full cafe serving more than standard boardwalk fare, featuring items like French toast, a Rueben and a grilled veggie and avocado salad, as well as kid-favorite hamburgers and ice cream.

‘You pick good

for a girl’ Female musicians break up the boys’ club at Rockygrass

COURTESY OF SIERRA HULL

B

luegrass culture embraces its traditions that dictate the acoustic instruments and the lyrics’ subject material (from death and heartache to murder, infidelity and trains) be set to a pleasant melody with a driving beat.

Another familiar ritual is the set-ending jam for festival headliners. The stage fills with a dozen or more pickers and singers to play a tune everybody knows, such as “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”

Traditionally, that finale stage is almost completely full of men. There can be five manly mandolinists but typically no more than one or two women, although Colorado’s notably progressive bluegrass festivals do a better job.

However, we’re still waiting for an end-of-set stage full of women musicians, with one guy playing the bass in the back.

That longstanding ritual stands a chance of changing July 27-29 at the 45th Rockygrass Festival in Lyons. This year’s lineup showcases a wealth of talent, including two all-female bands. Banjoist Alison Brown has gathered an all-star group featuring female bandleaders who are also winners of the instrumental honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association. Also on the bill is Della Mae, a young, fast-rising band featuring Kimber Ludikerdle, Courtney Hartman, Celia Woodsmith, Jenni Lyn Gardner and Zoe Guigueno.

The weekend’s roster of 20 or more female players includes local favorites KC Groves, Natalie Padilla and Sarah Cole of the Lyons Bluegrass Collective and award-winning fiddler Ellie Hakanson of Jeff Scroggins & Colorado.

Women have been a part of bluegrass from the beginning, with Sally Ann Forrester on the squeeze box in Bill Monroe’s band. Alice Gerrand and Hazel Dickens are often credited for pioneering the way for women in bluegrass back in the ’60s. However, one woman stands above all.

Alison Krauss is regarded as bluegrass’ quintessential singer, fiddler, bandleader (of Union Station), concert attraction and someone who reaches beyond the genre to harmonize with Robert Plant.

“Everything changed when Alison Krauss came on the scene. Her hiring me to play in her band gave me a tremendous boost,” says Alison Brown, banjoist, producer and founder of Compass Records. If not for the siren call of bluegrass, Brown would have become an investment banker.

“When I was starting to play, fans would tell me: ‘You sure do pick good for a girl.’ I took it as a statement of fact. I didn’t hear it as a putdown,” Brown says.

Brown will be joined at Rockygrass by bassist Missy Raines and guitarist Molly Tuttle with Sierra Hull on mandolin and Becky Buller on fiddle. “Usually the woman in the band is a vocalist. I thought it would be interesting to have an all-female band made up of great instrumentalists and claim that sonic territory,” Brown says.

The internal dynamics of an all-female band are often different, she says.

“Women are taught to build consensus.

In this band, everybody says, ‘Let’s cut my solo.’ The urge is to do what’s best for the song. There’s less testosteronedriven shredding. We tend to gravitate toward the melodic,” Brown says.

Singer and mandolinist Sierra Hull released her debut album in 2008 at age 6. Her recent Americana-tinged “Black River” features Krauss, Rhiannon Giddens and Abigail Washburn.

“I remember seeing a Rhonda Vincent album when I was real young.

I knew I was going to play the mandolin but that was the first time I saw a woman holding a mandolin,” Hull says.

Hull, now 26, first performanced in Colorado as a 12-year-old alongside Krauss at Red Rocks.

It’s not that Hull hasn’t noticed she was the only female onstage for various jams. “I didn’t think it was intentional.

It was just the way it was,” she says.

“These days bluegrass is trying to be more open and inclusive. It’s exciting to see women getting a seat at the table.”

However, she adds, it should be more than once-a-day seats. “You have three-day bluegrass festivals with only one female-led band per day. ‘We’ve got our girl band for the day,’ they say. I’m not complaining. It’s just that each of us does something very different musically.

I would never want to be hired because I’m a woman,” Hull says.

Award-winning fiddler Becky Buller’s role models range from Krauss BOULDER WEEKLY

to rocker Joan Jett. “I’ve had a pretty easy go of it. Nobody ever told me not to do anything because I was a girl,” Buller says.

“I really appreciate what the pioneers did for us. Now there are other barriers to break. The playing field should be more level,” she says.

“I hope we get to the point that it’s all about music, not gender.”

“WOMEN ARE TAUGHT

to build consensus. In this band, everybody says, ‘Let’s cut my solo.’ The urge is to do what’s best for the song. There’s less testosterone-driven shredding.”

e’ve all heard the phrase “less is more” applied to aesthetic endeavours, but it doesn’t need to stop there.This minimalist philosophy is just as applicable in many other facets of practical life, especially your gear closet. Having good gear matters, but having good gear that serves multiple purposes can make a big difference in decluttering your storage space and shrinking your adventure budget. Minimizing purchases and maximizing an object’s use not only reduces material and consumer-based waste — which is a back-hand boon for the environment — outfit any summer adventure.

ou know Colorado brews a lot of beer, but you may be shocked to learn that our beloved state is home to 10 percent of the country’s craft breweries. Considering the fact that Colorado houses only 2 percent of the U.S. population, we feel like we deserve a big pat on the back — we’re pulling way more than our share of the beer-brewing weight. But, safe to say, it’s a weight we’re more than willing to pull, especially considering the benefits we all reap in the process.

6. WHITE LABS BOULDER TASTING ROOM

2500 47TH ST., UNIT 12, BOULDER, KETTLEANDSPOKE.COM Small batches of undeniably good beer are a trademark of this intimate location. Perhaps off the “beaten path,” it’s right on the Goose Creek Bike Path. Kettle and Spoke Brewery’s goal is to produce tasty local beers the old-fashioned way — by hand. And these folks deliver. Their layered flavors are always enjoyable. Just check out their Nelson Filtered IPA or Farmhouse IPA, bursting with funky flavor. This spot is also joined with a bike shop, so drop in after a ride and get a dollar off your first beer.

2. VISION QUEST BREWERY

2510 47TH ST., UNIT A2, BOULDER, VISIONQUESTBREWING.COM Who better to start a new brewery than the guys who run Boulder Fermentation Supply, the one-stop shop for do-it-yourself brewers? Vision Quest Brewery founders Adam Kandle, Greg Foley and Greg Kalifa realized they had to open a brewery when they were struggling to keep up with the demand for their homebrew. Some beers like the In-State Tuition IPA use 100-percent Colorado ingredients while others like the gluten-reduced Magical Liopleurodon Porter use coffee, cinnamon and fire-roasted chili peppers for a deep taste with a spicy kick.

3. J WELLS BREWERY

2516 49TH ST., SUITE 5, BOULDER, 303-396-0384, JWELLSBREWERY.COM James Wells, the original founder and creator of J Wells Brewery, finetuned his homebrew for years before opening up an official location in 2009. Since then, the company has grown into its new location on 49th St., and the same brewmasters maintain their commitment to keeping the same well-known brews in rotation and creating new beers with worldwide inspiration. Brews on tap include the Brett Peach Pale Ale, the Lights Out Russian Imperial Stout and many more.

1898 S. FLATIRON COURT, SUITE 213, BOULDER, 303-209-7681, WHITELABS.COM White Labs Tasting Room is heaven for beer nerds. Tucked away in an office building, the tasting room may be hard to find, but it’s definitely worth it. This place is perfect for grabbing a pint and learning a thing or two about yeast. White Labs manufactures liquid yeast for professional brewers and homebrewers, as well as brewing some of its own beers that demonstrate how different yeast strains work on the same wort (unfermented beer). Most of the beers have one strain or maybe two, except Frankenstout, a beer made with a whopping 96 yeast strains. It’s like “tasting the rainbow” of yeast. With its pungent mix of flavors, it is sure to blow your mind.

Upslope Brewing Company has earned a reputation for producing beer with high standards for flavor quality at both of its locations.

With year-round styles like the crisp and effervescent Craft Lager and limited release seasonals like the sharp and juicy citrus of the Thai Style White IPA to choose from, it’s no surprise that Upslope has won over so many local fans. Enjoy Upslope brews at the original seven-barrel brew house on Lee Hill or the spacious and lively location at Flatiron Park.

8. CELLAR WEST ARTISAN ALES

1001 LEE HILL DR., UNIT 10, BOULDER, 720-465-9346, CELLARWEST.COM Cellar West Artisan Ales is an award-winning brewery founded

by Zach Nichols that brews distinctive beers celebrating people, place and purpose. By embracing the aggressive flavors found in the house blend of wild yeast, these brewers have created unique, complex beers like the Garden Ghost, an oak-aged black saison with blueberry and lemon flavors and the Peace and Assist IV, an oakaged rye saison with amarillo and black hops.

4. WILD WOODS BREWING

5460 CONESTOGA COURT, BOULDER, 303-484-1465, WILDWOODSBREWERY.COM Jake and Erin Edwards share a love for craft beer and a love for the outdoors. While its 22-ounce bombers are available at liquor stores and its beers on draft at restaurants across Colorado, Wild Woods Brewery’s favorite place for customers to sip its beers is in the nature that inspired them. Featuring subtle notes of herbs, grains, fruit and other natural ingredients in its beers, Wild Woods is the perfect brew for those who prefer their drinks under the stars.

9. NEW PLANET BREWERY

6560 ODELL PLACE, UNIT D, BOULDER, 303-499-4978. NEWPLANETBEER.COM

5. BRU HANDBUILT ALES & EATS

5290 ARAPAHOE AVE., BOULDER, 720-638-5193, BRUBOULDER.COM BRU Handbuilt Ales & Eats founder Ian Clark channels his passion for never-filtered, naturally carbonated ales into his passion for food by creating delicious, beer-influenced food like the BRU sourdough pizza, which is made with IPA tomato sauce, ale sausage, kale and smoked shallots. Conversely, food-influenced beers include the Obitus Brown Ale, made with caramelized sugars and dates, and the Belux Belgianstyle pale ale made with lemongrass and black pepper.

When he was diagnosed with celiac disease, co-founder Pedro Gonzalez decided to revolutionize craft beer by opening his own gluten-free brewery. For the past nine years, New Planet Brewery has been building its award-winning gluten-free selection of beer to include the Seclusion IPA, Raspberry Ale, Pale Ale, Blonde Ale and their Tread Lightly Ale, a perfect summer drink with citrus notes and a crisp finish.

The story of this brewery begins with two brothers, Mark and Chris Heinritz, and brewmaster Brian Lutz. In 2012 the trio opened West Flanders Brewing Co., stating a simple yet regal mission: to combine tradition and modernity in a beer made with passion. Passion! You can taste a hint of it in every single one of their brews, like the Infinite Velocity, a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout. West Flanders offers a variety of gluten-reduced brews, like the session IPA All hours, Oktoberfest staple, Deutsch Klingen and milk stout, Udder Darkness.

18. BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN BREWING COMPANY

19. ASHER BREWING COMPANY

Beer and music both allow room for a lot of improvisation. To showcase the creativity of Beyond The Mountain, only five year-round beers are served, with the rest of their 12 taps filled by one-off and seasonal beers developed with innovation and improvisation. Even cooler, local and nationally touring bands have the opportunity to create an “Artist Series” of beers, which can be rich, fruity or light, depending on the collaboration. The Sweet Lillies Saison is one example, a sweet and summery concoction created by The Sweet Lillies band.

All proceeds go to the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, so stop by and drink up for a good cause.

It took almost a full year of planning, research and hard, meticulous and laborious work to build the Asher Brewing Company tap room. But on November 20, 2009, Chris Asher was finally able to sit back for a second, crack open one of his own cold ones, and truly enjoy what lay before him: Colorado’s first certified allorganic brewery. As if that weren’t “Boulder” enough, the place is also completely wind-powered. We’ll toast to that any day of the week.
