G

rowing up in the flatlands of the midwest, Colorado ski trips were always a highlight for me. While I loved my home town of Kansas City (Go Royals), the last few days of the vacation were always tough because I was never ready to leave Colorado.

Upon college graduation, one of my best friends, Scott, immediately packed his Ford Bronco and bolted for Vail, Colorado. Knowing my parents would not be quite as stoked about this idea as I was, I did what a good college grad should do and took a low paying, chew em' up, spit em' out entry level corporate job. Scott would often call me as his night was winding down, and my morning commute was starting.

Needless to say, my tenure in the healthcare staffing industry was a short one. That February, I informed my folks that I was heading to the mountains to get some skiing in and visit my old pal Scott. I withheld a few details. I was going to Vail, and I was not coming back until the lifts stopped turning in April.

My first stop in town was the Vail Resorts employment office. There was no way I was going to fill my parents in on my extended spring break until I had employment. By this mid-way point in the ski season, there were enough lift operators who had flaked out and I was hired. Those three months turned into three years. I can still remember turn by turn of some of my most memorable powder days. If you know, you just know. There isn't anything like it.

Here in Boulder, we see a wide array of winter sports enthusiasts. From casual snowshoe hikers, all the way to Winter Olympic medal winners. No, not everyone in Colorado is a winter sports nut, but many of you are. This issue is for you!

MENTAL HEALTH PARTNERS OPENS NEW WELLNESS CENTER Mental Health Partners, a nonprofit provider of mental health and wellness services, recently opened a newly renovated 30,000-square-foot wellness center at 1000 Alpine Ave. in Boulder. The space allows the organization to bring together several programs under one roof. Client services began in the new space in early September. The building serves adult patients and provides office space for approximately 100 staff members. A community room doubles as a dining room, there are various meeting rooms and a suite for medical services for the patients.

Since providing vocational training is a significant part of the services offered to patients, the new building includes a commercial

Mental Health Partners plans to expand its services by getting community members and organizations like Boulder Valley Rotary Club involved in wellness programs.

Locally Owned ROOTED IN COMMUNITY

Blending Fitness & Fun Article Emily O’Brien | Photography Alex Vaughn

A

healthy, fit and active lifestyle and living in Boulder go together like peas in a pod. And nowadays it seems practically everyone you know (and their mother) train for this, that and the other. It’s not uncommon to hear that someone has moved to Boulder specifically to train. And why not?

Boulder is, after all, an athlete’s dream town with its 300+ sunny days per year, its endless mountain trails, high altitude and all the fantastic sporting good stores packed to the brim with high-end equipment just waiting to adorn even the greenest of rookies.

Not everyone has to be a pro to get in on the action though. FastForward Sports (F4) formed from the belief that athletes of all abilities should be able to train, build community and have fun (gasp!) doing it. This was the foundation upon which F4 was established in 2005; the company recently went through an ownership change in May when entrepreneur Tim O’Brien took over the reins from its founder, Scott Fliegelman.

“F4 is a training group for like-minded individuals who are all working together 24

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2014

and have very similar goals and/or abilities.

We help motivate each other to get to and across the finish line,” explains O’Brien.

ONE-OF-A-KIND TRAINING

At F4 athletes are welcomed in a non-intimidating and professional environment.

Small pace groups form with others of comparable ability, who are then led by an F4 coach handpicked and specifically trained to work most effectively with each level of athlete.

With year-round options, geared toward triathlon and running, athletes can pick which program(s) they would like to take on and then go after it. The majority of programs end with a “Super Bowl” style race, which is optional for people to participate in.

Athletes often switch between programs year after year depending on their current goals. The popular Spring RUN offers training for the well-known Bolder Boulder. F4 also offers remote training and personal goal coaching for those who have a hard time making workouts or have goals that are outside the normal scope of programming.

With outstanding coaches who are all top notch in their field and well renowned in the local fitness industry, such as Melody Fairchild, Adam St. Pierre and Craig Howie, athletes know right off the bat that they are in good hands. And because the other members share the same beliefs of living a healthy and fit lifestyle, some people have forged incredibly deep friendships together and have been with the group since its inception. In fact, there are plenty of couples that either train in the same or in various F4 programs as well.

“Although we ask the athletes to ‘just show up’ and we will take care of the rest, there’s so much more to it than that,” states O’Brien. “Some people are there to better their performance, some people are there to get away and decompress and some are there to catch-up with their friends. And some are all of the above!”

In addition to members’ solidarity, numerous locally owned businesses have also become resource partners and offer discounts and perks for the coaches and athletes.

In a town that practically bleeds fitness, where it’s not unusual to see a professional athlete whiz by on a bike or sprint up Sanitas, surrounding yourself among others who are all working together for a better work/life balance is a truly good thing. F4 offers a free test run (or bike or swim) to try out the club to see if it is a good fit. Winter RUN, which has a goal race of Moab’s Canyonlands Half Marathon and IRONMAN, which will repeat in Boulder at the end of the summer are both open for enrollment, along with a few other programs as well.

f, like me, you’ve been longing for some really good pizza with quality ingredients that is fast and relatively inexpensive, your wish has come true. Recently Project Pie opened a new location in Boulder on University Hill.

Project Pie is the third iteration of a pizza joint by James Markham. He started perfecting the pie with Mod Pizza in Seattle, then Pieology in California. Today between the three franchises, you can find this high-quality pizza across the country.

My meal started with the kale Caesar salad, which was a great take on the original. The dressing came in the perfect amount and was fresh and light. Next I opted for a pie with prosciutto and roasted Brussels sprouts. The combination was divine. Because the pizza is quick-cooked in the pizza oven, the crust was the perfect combination of crispy and chewy.

Other must-try pies include the No. 1, your classic cheese pizza; No. 4, a white pie with tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, Parmesan and garlic; and the No. 6 with grilled

chicken, red onion, cilantro, mozzarella, Gorgonzola and BBQ sauce. The flavor combinations will knock your socks off.

At Project Pie, you can, of course, create your own from a variety of fresh ingredients. And don’t forget the Nutella and banana on a pizza crust for dessert.

offee. Ahh... What is it about that wonderous word that has so much comfort wrapped around each letter?

These days, many of us steer clear of the large coffee shops in favor of smaller, independently owned little gems. These baristas can not only tell you the name, the region and farm your beans came from, but also the person who roasted them. We all have our favoraite style of coffee. Personal preferences, as we all know, can sometimes get a little out of hand.

Every cup will taste different because of the bean, the grind, amount used, the temperature, and many other factors. For me, I like it pretty simple. I like a full fat latte plain, or sometimes with a raw sugar. One of the reasons a latte brightens my day, is the beautifully crafted design floating on top. Like many things in life, it all comes down to the experience. As a former Starbucks employee, I cannot say that I have much knowledge about latte art. I can say, however, that I truly apprecate it.

Have you ever looked down and wondered if your barista had a crush on you? Or a secret obsession for ferns? Or just way too much time? This is the world of latte art. Baristas are creating these designs through free pouring and embelishing. Latte artists may be criticized for taking too much time to create these designs, but have also been known to be the best tasting.

The perfect marriage between the quality and consistency of the espresso and the microfoam is what separates it from your everyday latte. Easy?

I think not.

Here in Boulder County we have our fair share of organically gown, handpicked, handcrafted, roasted-on-the-premises, made to order, better-than-national-chain coffee shops to choose from.

Here are a few of our faves: The Laughing goat: 1709 Pearl St, Boulder

Live music nightly paired with a happy hour from 4 to 8 p.m. makes this place the perfect date night spot! Fair trade certified coffee, kid friendly, local beer, friendly staff, and the list could go on. This coffee house is sure to not disappoint! TheLaughingGoat.com Amante: Soly uses coffee beans from a 3rd generation coffee roaster in italy who;s recipe has been in the family for over 1/2 a century. You can taste a bit of italian tradition in every cup and for a moment forget your in Boulder. (3 Boulder locations) amanteCoffee.com Boxcar: Calling all coffee geeks....

Boxcar has developed an altitude brewing method called the Boilermakr to help brew a great cup of coffee at Colorado's high elevation and low boiling temperature. Inspired by traditional "cowboy coffee" they immerse the grounds in boiling water to get the ideal extraction out of every cup.

1825 Pearl St, Boulder / BoxcarCoffeeRoasters.com Que's: 4770 Table Mesa Dr, Boulder / QuesEspresso.com

Best drive thru coffee shop, hands down! And the only in Boulder. Large outdoor patio that is dog and kid friendly, this South boulder coffee shop is sure not to be a disappointment. Fun fact... Que's also caters.

JOHN DICKEY //

rock climber and photographer Your favorite winter sport adventure and WHERE?

That would be alpine climbing in the Canadian Rockies.

Favorite Apres Ski hangout in Boulder?

My favorite apre ski hangout is backcountry pizza, great beer selections and fantastic pies.

Winter gear / apparel piece(s) you

JON KEDROWSKI //

ski-moutaineer and geographer Your favorite winter sport adventure and WHERE?

In 2013 when I took my skis to Pakistan and skied off part of Gasherbrum II (8035m) 13th highest mountain in the world.

In Colorado: Anytime I can take my skis into the backcountry and find a new line I haven't skied, that sense of adventure consumes me. Hut trips to our awesome 10th MTN division huts you can't go wrong.

Favorite AprĂŠs Ski hangout in Boulder?

You're gonna laugh, but because I live in Vail, I've never done aprĂŠs in Boulder. But if I did I think I would hit up Sanitas Brewery.

ERIC LARSON // polar explorer Your favorite winter sport adventure and WHERE?

I'm all about polar expeditions so if I had a choice I would be on some long slog in Antarctica or the Arctic.

Favorite Apres Ski hangout in Boulder?

I'm a fan of Kitchen Next Door, but I live in North Boulder and hate stop lights so as a general rule I try not to go south of Iris. With pretty busy schedule and family, my big Apres Ski hangouts usually happen at Lucky's Market.

cannot live without?

Favorite winter gear would be my Zeal Aces with the copper lenses and the Patagonia r1 with hood. I have several and live in them all winter.

Your proudest adventure accomplishment?

Unexpectedly, the accomplishment I am most proud of today is skiing over the Indian peaks from Brainard lake to Monarch lake.

We picked a line that just got way more serious than we were expecting. Then hitched rides back home to boulder.

Winter gear/apparel piece(s) you cannot live without?

In addition to my Zeal HD Camera Goggles I use for filming all of my ski projects, I love skiing off of big peaks here in Colorado. And I wouldn't ever leave home without my Kaestle TX 97 skis and my trusty Petzyl headlamp.

Your proudest adventure accomplishment?

Either standing on the summit of Everest after having climbed above 8000m twice in the same week or when I skied the 20 highest Pacific Northwest volcanoes in 30 days and spent the night on 10 of the summits this past may. My newest book, Skiing & Sleeping On The Summits: Cascade Volcanoes will be out next summer 2015. JonKEverest.org

Winter gear/apparel piece(s) you cannot live without?

I carry a DeLorme inReach Explorer with me on every adventure - big and small. It's a two-way satellite communicator, tracking and SOS beacon with GPS functionality. In Colorado or the North Pole.

My proudest adventure accomplishment?

Not getting eaten by a polar bear definitely tops the list. In 2010, I completed a world record expedition to the South Pole, North Pole and top of Mt. Everest all in one year. I spent nearly six months in a tent in the coldest places in the world! To this day, I am surprised I was able to pull it off! continued >

KIMMY FASAMI // pro snowboarder Your favorite winter sport adventure and WHERE?

I love exploring mountains on a beautiful powder day. The culture, the snow, and the terrain makes Japan one of my favorite overseas adventures during the winter. Japan has really featured terrain so there are plenty of bumps and side hits to find as I make my way down the hill. There are also beautiful scenic overlooks with ocean views from the top of some of the peaks.

Favorite Aprés Ski hangout in Boulder?

I would say Shine because of their refreshing beer and tasty and healthy appetizers

SANDRA HILLEN // olympic snowboarder Your favorite winter sport adventure and WHERE?

Obviously snowboarding has stolen my heart and not too far off the beaten path is Silverton Colorado. I never realized Colorado had this type of terrain available and it’s a humbling experience to say the least but the venture is worth every second.

My newly discovered favorite winter sport is… Dog sledding!!!! May not sound like an like a rush right…wrong! You jump on the back of sled with 12 huskies running at full speed through trees and all sorts of terrain. I have caught air, taken spills, had to bail, and broken trees all while holding on for dear life. Let’s just say, its a must do winter activity.

CAROLINE GLEICH // pro skier Your favorite winter sport adventure and WHERE?

Ice climbing at the Ouray Ice Park, ski mountaineering in the French Alps near Chamonix, riding bikes to ski big lines on Mt. Timpanogos near Provo, UT. Favorite Aprés Ski hangout in Boulder?

After a long day on the slopes, I would like to refuel with healthy food and beverages at Shine. I love their delicious organic food and homemade potion beverages.

Winter gear / apparel piece(s) you cannot live without?

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2014

• Goal Zero Switch 8- recharges your phone after a cold day on the slopes!

Winter gear / apparel piece(s) you cannot live without?

My Zeal Ace Sunglasses come everywhere with me, and also my Burton Snowboard AK women's Insulator jacket. This jacket can be a layering piece or a jacket I wear while cruising around after riding. I find that I live it in during fall, winter, and spring.

Your proudest adventure accomplishment?

Rock Climbing has given me a lot of accomplishment moments. Leading my first 5.11a at the Cliff of Tioga Pass in California has probably been my most recent proud accomplishment. Learning how powerful the mind is, being able to harness it, and use it to my advantage while leading a route has been a big step for me in climbing.

Favorite Apres Ski hangout in Boulder?

West End. They have a killer happy hour and delicious eats.

Winter gear/apparel piece(s) you cannot live without?

• My Airblaster Ninja Suit. I live in those things during the winter. They are so amazingly warm and comfortable and you can say goodbye to snow burn.

• Zeal Goggles is definitely at the top of the game combining both function and fashion.

Your proudest adventure accomplishment?

That would definitely have to be competing in all the Olympic qualifying World Cup events in slope style for the past 2 years. I was representing Mexico and had the support of the Olympic Commission which was incredible. It was definitely an honor to get that opportunity as well as historic for the country to have their first freestyle Olympic hopeful.

• Patagonia Capilene 4 Expedition Weight One Piece Suit. I literally live in this onesie during the winter.

• Zeal HD camera goggles- the camera technology is integrated so seamlessly into the goggles.

• Jaybird wireless headphones- they keep me moving on those long approaches to climb or ski the faraway lines of my dreams.

Your proudest adventure accomplishment?

Summitting and skiing the 3 highest peaks in Ecuador in one week, skiing 10 classic steep lines in Chamonix, climbing the 20 highest peaks in the Wasatch, my backyard mountain range

ANTON “TONY” KRUPICKA // a world champion ultra marathoner and trail runner Your favorite winter sport adventure and WHERE?

I like getting up and down Longs Peak yearround, by a variety of routes, some technical, some not. Winter makes it even more exciting.

Favorite Apres Ski hangout in Boulder?

Southern Sun, though I also enjoy Fate Brewing and Sherpa's, too.

Winter gear / apparel piece(s) you cannot live without?

the hills without a BUFF. In the winter, I'm often wearing two---one on my head and one around my neck, which can easily be pulled onto my face for a little extra wind/cold protection. And my ZEAL Aces, of course Your proudest adventure accomplishment?

Hmmm…probably not my proudest, but certainly my most recent adventure: I linked up all five Flatirons in a bit over two-hour carto-car this morning. Fall is perfect scrambling season as it can get pretty hot on the big slabs in the summertime.

All year round, I basically never head into

RYAN WATERS // Polar explorer and mountaineer Your favorite winter sport adventure and WHERE?

High altitude mountain climbing in Nepal, great mountains and super friendly people.

Favorite Apres Ski hangout in Boulder?

Winter gear / apparel piece(s) you cannot live without?

La Sportiva Spantik boots and Bergans of Norway Slogen Insulated jacket Your proudest adventure accomplishment?

Finally convincing my parents I actually kind of work... sort of.

Sanitas Brewery or someone's Backyard Grill!

ZEAL'S ESSENTIAL GEAR PICKS • We never hit the road without our trusty Goal Zero kit! From the Boulder 30 Solar Panel for the ZEAL Explorer Airstream paired up with the Yeti 1250 Solar Generator, to the Nomad 7 Solar Panel and Sherpa 50 Power Pack for backpacking missions, we can keep the party going and the HD2 Camera Goggles charged up wherever we go! GoalZero.Co.Uk/ • Did we mention HD2 Camera Goggles? We never leave home without this new hotness to capture all our adventures.

With a bevy of new lenses for all light conditions and twice the battery packed in a frame that’s half the size and weight, not to mention WiFi and the new ZEAL HD app to allow real time sharing, this is our constant companion whether mountain biking, shredding, ice climbing, BASE jumping, or anywhere the road of life takes us.

• Whether we’re hitting the trail, grabbing crail or out for a sail, we always have a Mizu bottle in our pack. Founded by ZEAL Ambassador Jussi Oksanen, Mizu (which is Japanese for “water”) makes amazing stainless steel water bottles and their mission is keeping plastic water bottles out of the landfill – a passion near and dear to our hearts – after all, we don’t use any petroleum products in the production of our sunglasses, so why would we use it to carry our water?

• After a full day in search of adventure, we like to unwind in the tent under the light of our solar luminAID light. When it’s time to turn it off and bed down, this doubles as an inflatable pillow. The best part – through luminAID’s Give Light, Get Light, we’re helping give the gift of light to kids and families around the world.

The Front Rangers’ Spectator Guide

To the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships Vail and Beaver Creek February 2–15, 2015

Article Sandra Henderson

T

he world’s best alpine ski racers are coming to Colorado, and Front Rangers will have the rare chance to experience more than 700 athletes from 70 nations along with the international flair and excitement of a prestigious world sporting event up close — for free. The 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships will take place in Vail and Beaver Creek from February 2–15, 2015.

The biennial alpine ski competition, second in scope and scale only to the Winter Olympics, returns to U.S. snow for only the fourth time in history, and for the third time to Colorado’s Vail Valley (Aspen hosted in 1950, Vail Valley in 1989 and 1999).

Watching the Races Up Close

Possibly the best part of having the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships at home in Colorado is that the races are free of charge to spectators, unlike championships in Europe. “This is not a ticketed event. If you want to get a great seat, just get up there early,” says Kate Peters, senior marketing and public relations manager for the Vail Valley Foundation, the event’s organizer. “The championships are a two-week-long opportunity for fans from the Boulder area to see as much or as little as they want.”

40

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2014

All of the races will take place at Red Tail Stadium in Beaver Creek. The best spot to get swept up in the excitement of the sport’s premier event and get close to the athletes will be the finish area, which will also have multiple giant screens and can be accessed by free shuttle or on snowshoes, skis or a snowboard. Red Tail Stadium will also be the best spot for kids to interact with their heroes.

“What’s really great and unique about the 2015 Championships is that our U.S. Ski Team is performing so well right now. If they continue to be strong, there will be exciting medal ceremonies to watch,” Peters says. “That’s really a pretty unique situation, since it’s such a European-dominated event. At the last Championships held here in Colorado, in 1999, we didn’t even podium.”

Of course, Coloradans will have their very own local stars to root for. “Mikaela Shiffrin is having a peak in her career, and Lindsey Vonn’s comeback is highly anticipated,” Peters says. “Aside from our local athletes, of course, watching Bode Miller ski is always exciting and fun, and Ted Ligety is really strong right now.”

The spokesperson expects the downhill races to draw the largest crowds. “It’s an all out speed event, which makes it spectacular to watch.”

ebration tent located in the center of Beaver Creek Village, where every afternoon a different country or region participating in the races will showcase cultural food, beverages and entertainment.

“In addition to the International Experience Celebration tent, après will be lively at the Coyote Café, Beaver Creek Chophouse, Toscanini Restaurant, Dusty Boot and there will be many places in Vail, too,” anticipates Jen Brown, Vail Resorts’ representative for Beaver Creek.

Skiing While in Vail/Beaver Creek

Front Rangers won’t have to leave their own gear at home when visiting the Vail Valley to view the ski races. Ninety-eight percent of the terrain in Vail and in Beaver Creek will be open to recreational skiers and snowboarders.

The World Championships Ski School will offer special lesson packages for kids and adults that will include live observations of the races and are designed to help skiers understand their own technique compared to the world-class athletes competing in the Championships. “The Hero” lesson package, for example, places emphasis on race fundamentals for children ages seven to teen.

Where to Stay

Photo Steve Prawdzik

Athletes will compete in all five alpine disciplines—downhill, super G, super combined, giant slalom and slalom.

The close proximity of the upcoming World Ski Championships offers locals the option to make an action-packed day trip out of watching a race or two. However, for visitors who want to stay longer and take in the full program, including evening festivities, the Vail Valley offers a wide variety of lodging options, from luxury hotels to cozy bed and breakfast inns. “It’s an off-peak time period, and if you’re planning to come, book now,” encourages Brown. Call the Vail Valley Foundation at 970.777.2015 for event-specific packages hotels are already offering.

Getting Around

It’s a Party—Ceremonies, Concerts, Culinary Events

While Beaver Creek will be Race Central, Vail will host evening festivities, including opening ceremonies and nightly medal presentations (in total, 30 individual and 18 Nations Team medals). “The two weeks during the races are truly the best time to be in the Vail/Beaver Creek area, not just to watch the ski races,” Peters says. “Our goal is to have one fantastic piece of entertainment every evening during the races; and a lot of it is free.” The entertainment program will feature concerts, artistic performances, films, art exhibits and culinary events.

Avon, at the base of Beaver Creek, will host post-race activities before crowds head to Vail for the evening. Each day from 2–5:30 p.m., Après Avon will be a street fair of live music, craft brews and distilled tastings, and visits by the 2015 mascots. Après Avon will also be another opportunity for fans to meet racers.

What’s more, spectators will be able to celebrate athletes and their home countries at the heated International Experience Cel-

“We want to clear up this myth among Front Rangers that this is going to be a crowded event to stay as far away from as possible,” Peters says. “We want people to feel like they can drive up and have a great experience during the Championships and move around the Valley freely and for free with the shuttles.”

The same parking lots day-trippers know from skiing at Vail and Beaver Creek will be available during the World Ski Championships.

Brown sums up why the 2015 World Ski Championships in Vail/ Beaver Creek will be a winter highlight for Coloradans: “The time period is off-peak and what better way to celebrate ski racing and see the best in the world right in our backyard.”

For race schedules, parking information, entertainment calendar and more, visit VailBeaverCreek2015.com or call the Vail Valley Foundation at 970.777.2015.

Boulder County Nordic Your Guide to Local Nordic Adventure Article Jules Marie | Photo Courtesy of Zeal optics

I

f you are blessed to be able to walk from your backyard into the beautiful open spaces in and around Boulder County, you can traverse endless miles of snowy terrain for hours on your cross-country skis or snowshoes. Otherwise, a quick bus or car ride will have you at a trailhead in no time where an abundance of Nordic ski options await.

It’s no surprise that Colorado’s ski resorts, once home only to downhill skiers, are experiencing a surge in the popularity of snowshoeing, skate skiing and cross country skiing—sports once relegated to the quiet backcountry. Many resorts have added Nordic centers offering groomed trails, lessons, equipment rentals and that delicious hot chocolate everyone hates to love. Outdoor sports enthusiasts are flocking to the snowy trails to enjoy serene forests, pure white alpine meadows and elegant mountain backdrops.

By now you’ve probably heard that Louisville might be one of the best cities to live in America. Could it be the seemingly thousands of miles of open space surrounding this tiny hamlet of 19,000 people that attracts visitors? Bikers and runner abound on the endless maze of trails until the snow hits and cross-country skiers and snowshoe lovers of all ages flock to the trails. Traffic-free and easily accessible, open space anywhere is an ideal ski option.

Here are a few Nordic options around Boulder County.

Boulder County Trails If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience, look no further than your local mountain parks and check out the Lichen Loop Trail at Heil Valley Ranch, Bummer’s Rock Trail at Betasso Preserve or Myers Homestead Trail at Walker Ranch; all local, easily accessible and all completely free. A quick Internet search will reveal many more miles of private, mostly unchartered terrain. No car? No problem; you can’t beat the skiing in north Boulder Park or around CU’s south Boulder campus.

Eldorado Canyon State Park Located right in our backyard, Eldorado offers world-class rock climbing as well as some stellar cross-country skiing and snowshoeing right in town. After a heavy snowfall, visitors can be seen shoeing along the road and on Fowler Trail. Though some recommend Rattlesnake Trail, skip it unless you’re a serious adventurer and can handle an excessive elevation gain. Many state parks close in the winter providing skiers with excellent flat roads to practice on.

Eldora Mountain Resort Eldora may be the go-to place for family-fun, proximity and relatively low cost for downhill skiing but did you know they boast a Nordic Center with over 40 kilometers of cross-country trails? The Nordic Center is home to all things cross-country, skate skiing and snowshoeing and here’s a bonus—RTD offers ski-and-ride bus service between Boulder and Eldora. This very close and kid-friendly resort offers various programs, passes and prices for all ages and abilities.

Nederland Consider visiting Lost Lake in Nederland, an ideal area for any level skier or snowshoer who wants to enjoy the beauty of a high-elevation mountain lake without losing their breath. Or consider the 4th of July Road to Buckingham Campground nestled in the midst of Indian Peaks and offering a rare chance to spot bighorn sheep.

Ned is also home to Caribou Ranch Open Space and Mud Lake both offering excellent Nordic skiing. The Blue Bird and DeLonde Trails snake along wetlands, streams and forests. Elk and moose have been spotted on the ranch and the trail is bathed in thickets of snow-laden trees.

November is

Homeless & Runaway Youth Awareness Month

Join Attention Homes to support the homeless youth in our community

Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests It’s no surprise that some of the best trails are located within the U.S. Forest Service land. Located a few miles west of Boulder, a plethora of forest trails can be found, particularly around the Brainard Lake Recreation Area and throughout the vast Indian Peaks Wilderness. Brainard has three particularly good winter-use trails; CMC Ski Trail and Little Raven for all single track skiers and The Snowshoe Trail for snowshoes only.

Weather, road and trail conditions change in a second so check conditions prior to embarking on a winter adventure. And, if you find you love the freedom of cross-country skiing or snowshoeing, consider joining a local group and ski/skate/shoe for the fun of it.

For more information on local Nordic trails, visit FS.USDA.gov and Eldora.com

Boulderites are notorious for doing everything with their dogs.

When you head out for some winter fun with your pup, be sure to keep them protected and warm with a coat from MountainMutt.

The Power Shield Coat from MountainMutt is at the top of the line in its category of soft shells for outside activity. Most importantly it has a heat exchange rating of 1.4, which means it’s designed to keep the body’s core temperature stable. Power Shield has cells which expand and contract based on how much heat the body is generating. It’s also extremely water and wind resistant.

The benefit of MountainMutt coats is that they’re designed for the dog’s comfort and warmth. They are constructed from top quality fabrics, the same ones worn by human athletes. The coats are generously cut and have a lot of adjustment for individual body shapes. Because the coats are handmade in Colorado they can easily be altered to fit your pet correctly. They make custom coats for harder-to-fit dogs. No seams or Velcro touch sensitive places on the dog’s body; there are no seams along the spine. The draped coats are made longer in the back to cover thighs and upper legs on short-haired dogs. All coats have collars to protect sensitive necks. They also make snoods to cover heads and especially cropped ears.

What's Cooking?

A Stew Reborn Gram’s Beef Stew Gets a Boulder Makeover Article Misty Lebowitz

A

t my house, fall is the start to my favorite food time of year. Everyone gets excited as the leaves begin to change, and I reroute from light healthy summer menus to warm, mouthwatering, comforting foods for cold weather and most i mportantly football Sundays. One very special recipe that keeps everyone coming back for more is beef stew in a red wine reduction served with a nice crusty loaf.

Now, when Grams first taught me this recipe back in 1987 she used much different ingredients. Lots of lard, boneless beef short ribs and no wine. Today, I am going to show you how over the years I took a good family recipe, did some research on Julia Child, tried a few experiments and then gave it some Colorado personality. I have swapped out the beef for some local, lean bison and added some delicious cabernet sauvignon from the Boulder Creek Winery.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon butter – good quality unsalted butter is preferred • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 2 pounds trimmed bison, cut into 8 pieces • Large pinch Salt • Freshly ground black pepper (I use a mixture of black, pink, and red peppercorns) • 1 cup finely chopped onion • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour • One 750-milliliter bottle dry red wine – I prefer Cabernet Sauvignon (this time I am using a nice bottle from the Boulder Creek Winery, but you can use any sort of dry red wine. Different wines will produce different depths of flavors, it really is a matter of preference) • 2 bay leaves 48

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2014

• 1 thyme sprig • 6 ounce slab of bacon, (Pancetta is a nice touch if you have it available; if so remove rind) • 15 small cipollini/pearl onions, peeled • 15 baby carrots, peeled (thick carrots work better than carrot sticks) • Large pinch sugar TIP: For those of you who are used to making a beef stew by cooking the protein and vegetables at the same time, this recipe may seem strange. However, I find that cooking them together tends to leave the vegetables mushy and really changes the texture of the stew. So, I like to first braise the bison in the red wine until a nice, rich sauce develops. Once the sauce is to my desired consistency, I then add the vegetables, allowing them to soak in the flavors as the bison tenderizes. Give it a shot. I promise it’s worth the extra effort!

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350° In a large Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot–oven appropriate–melt the butter in one tablespoon of olive oil. Position bison in a single layer at the bottom of pot and season with salt and pepper to preference. Cook over medium-high heat (the pan should sizzle when you add the bison), turning occasionally until browned on all sides, about eight minutes.

Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about five minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat the bison. Add the wine, bay leaves and thyme, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Make sure to stir to dissolve any delicious brown bits trapped to the bottom of the pot!

Cover the pot and carefully transfer to oven. Cook the stew for 1 1/2 hours until the bison is tender and the sauce is savory.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, cover the bacon with two cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain the bacon and cut into one inch slices.

In a large skillet, combine the bacon, cipollini onions and carrots. Add the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 cup of water and a large pinch each of sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer until almost all of the water has evaporated, about 15 minutes.

Uncover and cook over high heat, tossing until the vegetables are tender and nicely browned, about 4 minutes.

Stir some of the vegetables and bacon strips into the stew and scatter the rest on top as a garnish. Top with a little chopped parsley and serve.

Serenity and Safety in Niwot Article Dell Bleekman | Photography Rob Larson

T

he charming town of Niwot owes its name to Chief Niwot, a greatly respected Arapahoe Indian leader whose tribe lived just three miles west of the present village. With high-performing schools, an historic old town with locally-owned shops, and close proximity to Boulder, Niwot has long been on the radar for those seeking a small-town feel in Boulder County. Niwot is also home to Goldbranch, a luxurious residential development that aims to bring the look and feel of Tuscany to the Front Range.

curity company. “Our residents want a turn-key experience with complete peace of mind,” Temaat explains.

Temaat, a bit of a Renaissance man—he collects vintage cars, repairs classic cars and plays piano at weddings—had been with RE/MAX of Boulder for 20 years. He feels Goldbranch is something special. “I talk about this community everywhere I go,” he says. And given that Goldbranch may be one of the last subdivisions allowed in Niwot, demand is almost certain to rise.

From Inspiration to Reality

Casa Brunella

The builders behind Goldbranch set out to evoke an old-world Tuscan look, using the finest building materials available. The resulting homes, clad in stone, accented with soft natural hues and dark wood trim and topped with tile, look perfectly at home in the rolling hills of Boulder County.

Pat Temaat is the listing agent at Goldbranch. He has half- and full-acre lots for those looking to build their own custom home, and is currently representing the owner of a stunning estate on a gently sloping and expansive lot. “There may be more expensive homes in Niwot” he explains, “but none with this level of workmanship, attention to detail and use of labor-intensive materials.”

Goldbranch is also a secure community with many cameras throughout the development monitored by a Boulder-based se-

Temaat’s current Goldbranch listing is Casa Brunella. Built five years ago, this 8,250 sq. ft. home has been lovingly maintained by its owner. It’s truly emblematic of rural Mediterranean architecture, executed to the highest of standards.

A Country Kitchen

The kitchen, expansive and open, is the joyful heart of the house. With distressed wood cabinets, honey-yellow tile and smooth granite countertops, the kitchen is as delightful as it is functional. Exposed beams, wide plank floors, a large breakfast nook and windows that flood the room with natural light complement the room perfectly.

allows for easy flow thanks to an open floor plan. The large family room, for example, is in easy sight line with the kitchen as only a polished granite bar separates the two. A large office opens to the courtyard.

Upper and Lower

The upstairs master suite has its own fireplace and balcony; the vaulted ceiling and two sets of French doors provide a sense of openness that allows for a splendid mix of the indoors and out.

There are two additional upper level bedrooms as well, each with private bath. Panoramic views of the Front Range are throughout.

The finished lower level contains another two bedrooms, recre-

Casa Brunella, situated comfortably on a half-acre lot, opens to a riparian corridor where local residents include hawks, foxes and other wildlife. Outdoor entertaining possibilities abound with the spacious interior courtyard, punctuated by a large circular granite fountain. With a fully landscaped backyard and lovely stone retaining walls, this is the perfect home for gatherings inside and out.

This home boasts an immaculate attention to detail; interior walls have a hand-rubbed finish that mimics the aged plaster walls of Tuscan farmhouses. The use of natural materials—stone, travertine, and granite—is abundant. It is, quite simply, a discriminating property for a discriminating buyer.

Casa Brunella is offered at $2.895 million. For information on this or any Goldbranch property, please call Pat Temaat at 303.652.0150.

s a food lover, wine drinker, dark choc– olate addict, and coffee connoisseur, I would not catagorize myself as a good "cleansing" canadiate. Not to mention I don't have a much self control when placed anywhere near a basket of french fries.

I have attempted several different types of cleanses methods in the past but for one reason or another I always wimp out. Whatever seems to be trending at the time, I typically don't last more than two days. Pathetic, i know.

The biggest reason being, I'm a rebel at heart. When you tell me I can't eat or drink something, that is all I think about. Being a competitive person, the Conscious Cleanse was very attractive to me as you are cleansing with a group at the same time.

When I first met Jo and Julie, founders of the Conscious Cleanse, I fell in love with their story. As health ge-

Cleansing Consciously detox your body.mind.soul.

Eat well, feel good, be happy.

Learn more at ConsciousCleanse.com or sign up for their New Year, New You cleanse starting Jan. 17, 2015. Sign up for free email updates and download a copy of their free e-cookbook, A Taste of the Conscious Cleanse.

Myth 1: I will be starving all the time!

Myth 2: I don’t have the time for a cleanse.

Truth: The Conscious Cleanse is a whole foods based cleanse, filled with an array of choices. This includes veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, non-gluten grains (like brown rice and quinoa) beans, legumes, and organic lean cuts of meat, wild game and fish. Wow! True nourishment is the end goal. No starving allowed! You can have everything you want–ideal body weight, boundless energy, and mental clarity–simply by giving your body real food.

Truth: We all have incredibly busy and full lives.

The Conscious Cleanse is about slowing down and making your health a priority over the course of the 14-day journey. You may think you’ll have to spend hours on end in the kitchen, but we’ve specifically designed the program for real people who have full-time jobs and real-life commitments.

Myth 3: I will feel terrible and have no energy.

Truth: The heart of the Conscious Cleanse is the idea that you begin to wake up to life, to how you’re feeing, to where you are going, unconscious in your habitual choices. Society is full of ideas for dealing with detox. More rest, more water, taking a hot Epsom salt bath or getting a massage can help your body speed up the detoxification process. After the initial detoxification phase, you will undoubtedly shock yourself with how much energy you have– without the use of any stimulants or caffeine.

56

niuses and coaches, their approach is more about mindfulness rather than depravation. The 14-day, whole food cleanse is more about listening to your body than a diet. Participants are challenged to view their food as medicine.

Support through the team comes from daily inspirational emails, as well as a slue of delish recipies included in the back of their book.

I may have cheated once, (or twice) but the girls are quick to communicate that it's about "being human", not being perfect. I honestly felt amanzing after the 14 days. My skin was more clear, I was a few pounds lighter, and most exciting was my extremely high energy level. I will most definitely be a repeat cleanser!

Our Good Life Embracing the Boulderite Within Article Jordan Lebowitz

I

f you’ve made the Boulder area your home for long enough, you probably don’t remember how the rest of the country lives. Most people don’t climb mountains, participate in endurance sports for fun or keep chickens in their backyard just because. Having lived here long enough, all of those activities sound…well…normal.

Stephanie Amend, founder and CEO of Boulder business Arrowhead Solutions, LLC, has fully embraced the local way of life and is thriving in all she does. Amend and her husband Joe recently made the move from Boulder to Longmont, where they raise four chickens, Honey, Butters, Big Red and Olga, and a dog, Kai. Naturally, after learning that she owned chickens, my first question was, “Do you have any funny chicken stories?” And, she does: “I came home one day to find our ladies’ very first egg laid. We had been waiting for them to start laying, and I was really excited.

However, when I went to congratulate the ladies, there were only three in the yard. Big Red was missing! Turns out she had laid the egg and it must have freaked her out! I ran around our neighborhood (we were living by North Boulder Park) in search of her. I asked the mailman if he had seen a brown chicken and he thought I was crazy.

I asked a girl running her dog. No such luck. My husband joined the search and we had covered blocks and blocks with no sign. By evening we had essentially given up and figured she was gone. Then, as we turned towards home, I noticed a shoebox on someone’s front porch. On the shoebox was written, ‘Lost a Brown Chicken? We have her.’ I was so excited! This nice couple had chicken-sat our escapee for the day. Turns out Big Red hopped a railing on our porch, went over our fence and then crossed the road (presumably, to get to the other side). Our neighbors didn’t know we had the chickens, so they took her to the next closest house they knew did. The ironic 60

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2014

part was that Big Red was a big bully to Honey, Butters and Olga until the neighbor’s chickens she had to stay with put her in a new pecking order that day. When we brought her home, she was nice!

Learned her lesson, I guess.”

When Stephanie isn’t chasing runaway chickens, she’s growing Boulder’s economy by assisting local businesses that work through government contracts.

“Government contracts are a great source of revenue, especially for those companies that do a lot of research, development and innovation,” she explains. “I get to see a lot of the coolest and most innovative technologies. Learning about cybersecurity, space weather and sensors are all really interesting. Many of our clients are Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Program contract recipients.

Therefore, they’re on the cutting edge of fascinating technology. I have a client right now working on technology that uses virtual reality and robotics to help stroke patients recover.”

Stephanie has sat on several local advisory boards in the past and has been with the Boulder SBDC since 2010.

When Stephanie isn’t consulting nationwide, she’s getting ready for her next endurance challenge. Over the summer Amend won the Laramie Enduro for sport age group and took second at the Park City Point to Point in the 35 and under female category. She is considering the Zion 100 in April for her next feat.

Amend says of her busy life, “I think living in Boulder and the vibe of entrepreneurship absolutely helped in the growth of Arrowhead.

As things get busier, I find it more and more challenging to get out for that mid-day bike ride or fit in a long run on the weekends. But I see all these other people in Boulder doing it, so I get my act together and make sure I get out there too!”

Driver's Notebook

2015 Mustang: The Pony Car Rides Again Article Tom Strongman | Photography Tom Strongman and Ford Motor Co.

I

t’s only fitting that Ford used the 50th anniversary of the Mustang to unwrap the sixth generation of the car whose galloping pony logo has become an American automotive icon.

The 1964 Mustang was compact, sporty and affordable. Its success gave rise to competitors –the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger and Pontiac Firebird – and the whole segment soon became known as pony cars.

Restyling an icon is a delicate art. Designers need to move the car forward while retaining design cues that link it to the past.

Ford has succeeded in creating a Mustang that is better in every way. It looks great, has three engine choices and an upgraded interior. It is notably free from wind noise and handles deftly because of the new independent rear suspension.

Kemal Curic, born in Bosnia, worked at Ford of Europe when one of his designs was chosen as the basis for the new Mustang. The car looks low and purposeful.

The bold grille and bulging fenders are recognizably Mustang, as are the individual, three-dimensional taillights that blink sequentially as turn signals.

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2014

Ford would only say the coupe would be on sale “soon,” with no exact date given.

A convertible should be available around the end of the year.

The 2015 Mustang has a starting price of $23,600 with the 3.7-liter, 300-horsepower V-6 but for $1,570 more you can get the turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that generates a phenomenal 310 horsepower and delivers 32 miles per gallon in highway testing.

Power hungry folks will love the 5.0-liter V-8 that packs 435 galloping ponies.

Auto writers were invited to drive pre-production models last week in Southern California. We could drive the EcoBoost four-cylinder or the V-8. For anyone with even a modicum of gasoline in their veins, these are the only two engines to consider.

While horsepower is seductive (more is usually better) I was thoroughly charmed by the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four. Equipped with the Premium package, the sticker price was $33,480.

Back in the day, pure racing engines were lauded for delivering 100 horsepower per liter, but this sparkling gem produces a prodigious 137 horsepower per liter and does so while meeting stringent emission requirements and

delivering as much as 32 miles per gallon in highway driving (according to EPA figures).

Think racehorse that hardly eats.

Extracting this much power from such a small engine required deft engineering. The twin-scroll turbocharger is fed by individual exhaust pipes from each exhaust valve. That lets each pulse of exhaust reach the turbo without interference from neighboring cylinders, and that in turn makes the turbo respond more quickly. There is almost no discernible turbo lag.

On the first segment of our drive we had to endure crowded urban streets until we reached the Angeles Crest Highway. This twisted snake of a highway is legendary throughout the automotive world for the way it tests a vehicle’s handling, and it’s an oasis of mountain driving. With less weight over the front wheels, the EcoBoost Mustang felt lithe and balanced. A flick of the automatic’s paddle shifters initiated quick downshifts for corners, and the engine was eager to power out with a pleasing rush.

The car can be equipped with selectable drive modes — Normal, Sport +, Track and Winter. Sport + was most fun in the mountains as it tightens up the suspension and

makes shifts crisper. The independent rear axle keeps the rear tires planted, especially in choppy turns.

The performance pack of 19-inch wheels, bigger brakes, stiffer springs and firmer chassis tuning would have sharpened handling even more, but at the expense of a choppier ride.

I had a short drive in a 5.0-liter GT with the performance pack.

The buttoned-down ride was better in fast turns but less compliant, and less comfortable, in everyday driving. The GT’s throbbing V-8 and six-speed manual were exhilarating, but it is hard to safely unleash its power potential on anything less than a track. For everyday use, I would pick the EcoBoost.

Electronic controls are abundant in the new Mustang, witness the four drive modes, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitor and backup camera. An interesting twist is the availability of a line lock. A line lock applies the front brakes but not the rear, enabling drivers to do burnouts to warm up the rear tires for maximum traction during standing starts. Using line lock at the drag strip, however, could possibly void the warranty.

Inside, the Mustang’s cabin has a familiar look but the level of materials has been upgraded. The seats are deep and supportive, and the optional Recaro seats in the GT were outstanding. Various trim packages add adaptive cruise control, upgraded audio systems, navigation and MyFord Touch. Sync, or Bluetooth connectivity, is standard.

Price: Base prices start at $23,600 for the V-6, $25,170 for the EcoBoost four-cylinder, $29,170 for the EcoBoost Premium, $32,100 for the V-8 GT and $36,100 for the GT Premium.

Warranty: Three years or 36,000 miles with a five-year, 60,000mile powertrain warranty.

You can reach Tom Strongman at TStrongman@gmail.com.

At A Glance

Point: The redesigned Mustang appears to be a resounding success based on a few hours behind the wheel. The styling is a home run, performance is better than ever and the EcoBoost four-cylinder engine is a powerhouse that is relatively easy on gas.

Counterpoint: Back seat legroom is so tight that only small children, dogs or briefcases will fit.

Adolescent Lesson No One Likes a Show Off Words Jordan Lebowitz

A

s snow begins to cap the backdrop to all of our lives, camping gear is packed away and cold weather sports are here to stay… for a long time!

But we embrace the cold for every bit of fun there is to have.

I grew up outside of Baltimore in Maryland, and the ski resort we would visit is just over the Pennsylvania line. Having now experienced true grandeur by way of the Rockies, the slopes I used to know seem like biggish hills. Nonetheless, mountains big or small, hitting the slopes is always an experience that will hold you in the present and often creates memories that you’ll always cherish.

My teenage years aligned perfectly with the snowboarding movement. Skiers everywhere were losing the battle to keep boards off of slopes. I switched skis for a board and never went back. Lucky for my 13-year-old self, a lot of girls were making the switch as well.

Let me explain.

A ski shop across the street from my middle school would bus local kids to a resort every Saturday for one month during the winter. My parents were good enough to allow me the privilege to go on these trips. Girls from school had parents that were good enough to allow them to go as well. These girls were also making the transition from skiing to snowboarding and needed help.

“Help you say, why I can teach you, it would be my pleasure,” is about what I said in seventh grade.

I would ride the lift with a group of girls and give them pointers as we slowly made our way down the trail. The true novices would even request a helping hand to get on their feet. This quickly gave me a reputation among the girls at school. A reputation I enjoyed (i.e. sweet, helpful, patient).

My “generosity” was paying off nicely until one Saturday, on the way down a trail, we passed by the freestyle board park.

One girl said, “hey, you’re always so nice going slow to stay behind us and help when we fall. Why don’t you do this and we will watch?”

To which I idiotically respond, “cool, I’ll hit that big jump real quick.”

I was a good snowboarder at the time, just not that good.

The jump I assuredly proclaimed to “hit” was the largest one at the bottom of the course that every decent freestyle park would have.

I make my way down the course towards the big air jump.

Now, I’m not so lame as to slowly approach the jump and just kind of ride over it in a weak attempt to save face and not risk a bad fall. I carve once or twice to balance my take-off and I liftoff with decent form. I over-rotate and land on my back edge, causing my body to immediately slam backwards on the hard, icy landing at the base of the jump. I lay there for a minute.

Normally, I would pop right up worried about being tough in front of the girls. This time getting up before I was ready never even crossed my mind.

I won’t speculate about the possibility that I may have sustained a concussion, but after slowly making my way down to the lodge, the rest of my day was spent inside recovering. On the bus ride home someone asked me what happened to the back of my ear, to which I had no idea. Upon inspection I discovered that my icy landing had scraped all of the skin off and it was now just dry blood.

Yes, this time I learned my lesson!

No one likes a show off, and now I didn’t either.
