No designated driver needed Contrary to college stereotypes, booze is not required for good times By John Spina Staff Writer he bar scene in Boulder can be fun, but I used to say that only one in 10 nights I went out was actually worth it — both in terms of the amount of fun I had as well as the way I felt the next day. Luckily, there are endless opportunities to go out without drinking or needing an ID. Here are just a couple of ideas beyond the obvious hiking and skiing options.

If you’re into more artistic films, CU’s International Film Series runs during the school year and screens various movies from mainstream flicks to arthouse cinema. Most screenings take place at Muenzinger Auditorium or at the VAC, both on campus. Check out the schedule at InternationalFilmSeries.com.

5 things to do in winter that aren’t skiing Skiing or snowboarding aren’t necessary to have Colorado fun in the winter By Sam Lounsberry seriously injured while slidSnowshowing, Indian Staff Writer ing at high speeds down a Peaks Wilderness ypical Colorado snobbery in the wintertime involves prodding interrogations of the residents and students who don’t ski or snowboard by those who spend their weekends seeking fresh powder and groomed corduroy. “Why would you live or go to school in Colorado if you aren’t here to ski or ride?” the question is often asked. But winter fun can be found in Colorado without inducing an adrenaline rush by strapping your feet into Andy Cross / The Denver Post planks and trying to stay Skaters take the ice for the grand opening of Downtown Denver Rink and Skyline Park in 2017. upright and not die or get

mountain for thousands of vertical feet. For one, you can do what people in the flatland do for entertainment in the winter time — sledding, which is the almost the same thing as skiing except not as much of a workout and a lot less expensive. Drinking hot chocolate after building a snowman and launching snowballs at each other in the front yard is also an option. But here are five nonskiing and nonsnowboarding options for winter recreation in Colorado:

Ice skating in Louisville, Nederland, Denver

Photography hikes

No outdoor ice skating rinks in Boulder this year, but grab your skates (or rent some) and drive down to Louisville or farther to Denver, or take a high-altitude trek to Nederland for some nearby ice skating rinks. Nederland boasts its Ice and Racquet Park at 500 Indian Peaks Drive as the largest outdoor rink in Colorado. Admission is $8 for Ned and Gilpin residents and $11 for nonresidents. Glide around the Louisville WinterSkate at Steinbaugh Pavillion, 824 Front St., to traditional holiday music for $10 for adults, and $8 for kids age 4 to 12 as well as seniors and college students. You can even take a free horse-drawn carriage ride. And in Denver, hit Skyline Park on Arapahoe Street between 16th and 17th streets to skate. Admission is $8 for people 13 and older and $6 for kids 12 and younger.

Without the cover of leaves on the trees the rest of the year, winter is one of the best times for viewing the park’s large animals. Elk, mule deer and moose are active in the park during the winter season, with dusk and dawn being the best times for seeing full herds of elk in the meadows. Capturing some still frames hiking the Flatirons — with morning sunlight glittering brightly off a layer of snow — can be rewarding. So grab your camera and trek into the mountains, and see if you can catch a shot that will hit calendars next year of the peaks, a frozen Boulder Falls or some ice-covered canyon walls.

Make sure you have the right equipment and know how to use it before you try, but the Ouray Ice Park in southwestern Colorado is one of the best places in the world to get started climbing ice. If you don’t want to drive across the state, head to the popular Hidden Falls or Loch Vale Gorge, both in Rocky Mountain National Park. The closest ice to Boulder is east of Nederland in the Boulder Canyon. And seriously, put safety first. Ice climbing can be dangerous, so be sure you know what are you getting into before trying to scale frozen falls.

Bike from page 8 process for a key card that grants access (for free) to the city’s bike lockers. If CU’s goal is to get you on a bike, “ours is to keep you on a bike,” said Sue Prant, Community Cycles’ executive director. Another wish of Prant’s? To keep you from being a dillhole on a bike. “The biggest offenders of traffic rules on bikes are usually students,” she said. “And everybody pays” because pissed-off drivers are less likely to be accommodating to cyclists or to support infrastructure for biking. The top three offenses? Blowing through stop signs and lights, not signaling for turns or stops, and riding at night without lights — which the city gives away for free, so there’s really no excuse not to have one. Another thing you shouldn’t do: drink and bike. Cycling while intoxicated is dealt with the same way under Colorado law as drunken driving. As long as you stay sober and alert, you should stay safe. Drivers are generally aware. Even so, advocates have started to recommend using a flashing headlight even during daytime riding. If you want to make the streets even safer, consider getting involved in advocacy efforts. There are a ton of biking groups in town, from People for Bikes to Cyclists 4 Community. There’s also the Transportation Advisory Board with the City of Boulder, which is reassessing its infrastructure to encourage more biking and walking. If meetings or volunteering aren’t your thing, there’s a much simpler way to be a good ambassador for biking, according to Prant, one you can accomplish each time you hop on your bike: Don’t be a jerk. Drivers will judge all cyclists based on your behavior. So keep it classy, kids. Boulder is watching.

The People’s Republic of Boulder enough to work up a good sweat but not enough to break a reasonably fit human being. The course carves a scenic path through the heart of Boulder, with streetside musicians and performers spread along the way to provide diversion and boost morale, all the way to the finish line at Folsom Field. For those who have never been bathed in the roar of a crowd from a stadium floor, few thrills are greater. Additionally, runners are rewarded with beer and snacks, and you can run — or walk— the whole thing in the costume of your choice.

Get with the programs on Radio 1190 By Max Askari For the Colorado Daily

all 2018 was the best semester I’ve ever seen at Radio 1190. Our volunteer base has grown exponentially, and we have so much budding talent from our new DJs. Our collection is rapidly growing across many genres. We’re working to bring you the best local and independent music. This spring, we’re on track to have some of our highest-quality and most diverse programming yet. Our goal here at Radio 1190 is to give our listeners highquality music that they won’t hear anywhere else. These shows are some of my favorites, but tuning in at any time of day won’t leave you disappointed.

See for yourself

Find a full list of programs at radio1190.org/ schedule.

Party With Me Punker! Hosted by Bodhi DJ Bodhi “Party With Me Punker!” is one of our most popular shows on 1190. Tune in from 5 to 6 Wednesday evenings to hear a comedic and informative show all about punk music. Bodhi isn’t afraid to sing along and invites his listeners to sing along with him. When I tune in, I’m laughing out loud and jamming out.

shoegaze and dream pop is a great way to relax after a long day of classes. From the spacey distortion of Duster to the lullabies of Mazzy Star, you’ve got it all. Some of my favorite bands of all time are highlighted frequently on this show, making it one of my essential 1190 listens.

12x33 Vinyl Obscurities Hosted by Doug Gaddy Gaddy, owner of Absolute Vinyl, has been a host on Radio 1190 for about eight years. Each week, he pulls from his extensive vinyl collection to share his knowledge about psych, funk and

soul from the ’60s and ’70s. This show is not one to miss.

Neue Haus Hosted by Owen Zoll Owen Zoll is our resident electronic music expert at the station. His live DJ sets on Sunday nights are incredibly high quality and full of music that you wouldn’t hear anywhere else. Owen spends more time listening to new music and researching artists than anyone I know, and Neue Haus showcases this perfectly. I would highly recommend it as your soundtrack for a Sunday night drive.

Local Shakedown Hosted by Jeff Josephs Local Shakedown is the ultimate Radio 1190 experience. Starting at 4 p.m. Fridays, you get a full hour of local music, a live local band and an interview from veteran DJ Josephs, who is actively involved in our local scene.

Low March 8 at Globe Hall The staple slowcore band Low released the album “Double Negative” late last year and are touring it throughout the spring. The record is brooding, experimental and nothing like anything they’ve put out before.

very impressive. The first single, “Freelance,” is infectiously catchy. Its groovy bass licks and perfectly crafted synth melodies call on you to just start dancing. The song was released with a video that matches the mood perfectly. The second single, “Ordinary Pleasure,” is just as fun as the first, with its catchy hook drawing you in from the start. We’ve been following Toro Y Moi’s music for years now and can’t wait to see where he takes this album.

Her first record had a distinctive lo-fi sound, with most songs consisting of only bass guitar and vocals. Since then, we’ve watched Sneaks progress toward a more pop-influenced sound, and we’re stoked on the change. The singles off her upcoming record are clearly influenced by rap and dance music, but they also hold a nostalgic ’90s hip-hop feeling. We got a sneak peak of some of her new songs at the SXSW music festival last year and loved every second of it.

Concerts from page 14 innovate and push boundaries. “Double Negative” was easily in my top five albums of 2018, and I am looking forward to seeing how they perform this off-kilter record in a live setting.

n 2018, we celebrated a year of incredible music filled with exciting and innovative records from around the world. We’ll never forget thrashing to Guerilla Toss’ “Twisted Crystal,” crying to Mitski’s “Be the Cowboy” and dancing for hours on end to Kero Kero Bonito’s “Time ’n’ Place.” But as always, the new year brings new things. Here’s a list of the some of the records we’re most excited to listen to in 2019.

With their third album, the band is mixing shoegaze into their sound.

Winter camping

How to sleep in the snow like a pro By Cassa Niedringhaus Staff Writer nowfall and falling temperatures don’t signal the end of Colorado camping season, at least for those who are willing to plan ahead and wear layers like the Michelin Man. In fact, Boulder-based polar adventurer and expedition guide Eric Larsen said even novice campers with borrowed gear can enjoy a snowy adventure. “There’s no such thing as cold weather — just not enough layers,” he said. After college, Larsen migrated to Minnesota, a place notorious for its bone-chilling weather, where he became a dog musher and started going on Canadian Arctic trips, and he’s since become one of a handful of Americans who have skied to both the North and South Poles, according to his website. But his advice for somebody more accustomed to camping in summer is more modest. “Start small,” he said. “Don’t try to do the most epic winter adventure your first time out. It can be overwhelming for people when they can’t warm up.” From having “rock hard” frozen boots to being the guy to fall through ice, Larsen has collected several tidbits of expertise to offer CU students looking to climb out of their heated burrows for a new type of winter experience.

Where to go for snow camping

Setting up camp Camping in your Subie, where heat doesn’t require striking a match, versus lugging everything on your back to a site, becomes even more appealing when temperatures drop and weather is less forgiving. “Worst-case scenario, you can jump in your car,” Larsen said. But if you’re set on hiking in, you can load as much junk onto a sled and tow it behind you over snowpack covering branches, rocks and other obstacles. And because designated camping sites are hidden under that frosty layer, he said, there are more options and less competition when claiming your land.

Most campgrounds close for the winter, but there’s a few places to hunker down and snuggle up. Moraine Park Campground nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/ camping.htm#morainepark Estes It’s the only year-round campground in Rocky Mountain National Park, and it’s 8,160 feet above sea level in a ponderosa pine forest. One night under the stars in one of 64 winter first-come, first-serve campsites costs $18. Only vault toilets are accessible in the winter. Hessie Trailhead Dawn Y. Wilson / Estes Park Trail-Gazette A hiker breaks a trail through the fresh powder toward Hallett Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Camping in winter is a different sort of adventure than the kind you’re used to in the summer, and noobs should start small.

For shelter, he said, you could build an igloo or ice cave. Larsen also recommends a fourseason tent, but he said a three-season tent will do if you stuff it with extra blankets or your comforter. CU has camping stuff available to rent, including sleeping bags and pads, tents, cook stoves and rain pants. He said most people think they have to buy the most cutting-edge gear to survive, “but you can also use your current equipment in a way that actually allows you away to be somewhat comfortable.”

Only about an hour from Boulder, set up tents in the parking lot or venture in snowshoes down one of the many trails around Lost Lake. It’s also not far from Eldora, so you have a chance of getting first chair. Campfires are prohibited, and campers must stick to other Indian Peaks Wilderness restrictions.

Not sweating & staying warm If it takes 100 layers to fend off goose bumps and chattering teeth, so be it, Larsen said. “There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be comfortable being out there,” he said. However, getting too warm can be a rookie mistake. He said sweaty pits can be the ultimate enemy because it fills in the layer of air needed for insulation and wets clothes that are less likely to dry. “As you warm up, stop and take those layers off,” Larsen said. In Antarctica once, he said, he stripped down to a T-shirt because he was overheated, but he was care-

ful to pull warmer layers on once he got chilly again. In the summer, he said, “you can sit on a rock for a day and not get hypothermia, potentially.” But in the winter, “if you break your leg, you’ve got about a half hour before the first signs of hypothermia.” Your thirst may not be sapped by the heat of the day, he says, but staying hydrated circulates your blood flow and, as a result, retains body warmth. At night, Larsen suggests doubling up on sleeping pads and cuddling with a Nalgene of hot water in your 0- to 10-degree sleeping bag.

What to eat When outside temperatures match a freezer, there’s no need to worry about food going bad. “It’s going to freeze solid, but it’s not going to spoil,” he said. All you need to do is to prep a meal beforehand, pack it in plastic bags and throw it in boiling water once you’re up in the woods. Then, fill your belly with a decadent dinner of steak or lasagna like the king or queen of the woods. Cassa Niedringhaus: twitter.com/CassaMN

Spring career fair

Craft a killer cover letter

This year’s spring career fair will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 31 in the UMC Glenn Miller Ballroom. Learn more at colorado.edu/career/ career-fairs-events.

Ah, the cover letter. One of the trickiest skills to master. In the first paragraph, you say “why them” — why you want to work there. Use the second paragraph to say “why you” — why they should want you to work there. And the final paragraph is when you say, “Let’s get together and chat some more.” Ask for an interview or prompt a follow up, with a line in there about the mutual benefits of bringing you on board. Keep it to a page or shorter.

what types of jobs you should apply for in the first place. Don’t forget to work the networking angle through sites like LinkedIn and by connecting to groups like professional associations and the CU Alumni Association. “For those looking to enter the job market, it’s essential they understand their strengths, weaknesses, goals and values,” said Brad Graham, licensed professional counselor and founder of Collaborative Careers in Boulder. Graduating seniors should be actively looking for information about the jobs they are interested in by connecting with people in the industry, he said. Using LinkedIn to track people is a great way to network and find out about potential job opportunities, Graham said, adding most people end up finding their first jobs through the people they know. Alumni associations and professional associations also can be used to find useful contacts, he said. A professional resume, a good cover letter and refined interview techniques help

Nail your next interview You’ve got your foot in the door. Don’t make them slam it shut on you by looking sloppy and incompetent. There are three questions every interviewer is thinking when they talk to you: Do you have the skills (or the ability to learn) needed to do the job? Do you have the enthusiasm to do the job? and Do I like you?

market a job seeker better, but nothing beats active networking, Graham said. Career services at CU are a wonderful resource, he said. Students can use career fairs or connect with potential recruiters with the help of career development advisers. Graham said he wants students to know the difference between a job and a career, and to remember: “You’re never too old to get an internship.” Some students may not land their dream jobs immediately, so instead of getting disheartened they can side hustle to transition into a career of their choice, he said. Once you get an interview call, make a short list of possible questions the recruiter might have. Generally, it starts with a phone interview. Mostly, they want to judge

your suitability for the position based on your education and experience. Recruiters often look to find out if you’re a willing to learn new skills. The best way to do that is to show your success in juggling multiple activities at work and school. If you make it to the next level and get an in-person meeting, make sure you dress up professionally. Show up at least 10 minutes prior to your interview to announce yourself at the reception. Most importantly, if you don’t get the job, remember to shoot a thank you email to the hiring manager you spoke with. This would show you are courteous and help you keep open a line of communication should another position become available in that organization.

Spring break safety

Peace out, but come back in one piece Whether you party at Cancun or closer to home, look out for each other By Amy Bounds Staff Writer highlight of spring semester for many students is the one-week spring break. The University of Colorado is determined to make sure its roughly 34,600 undergraduate and graduate students leave and come back safely. Whether students are headed to warm-weather climes where the adult beverages flow freely, to colder destinations to pursue adventurous winter sports or even to foreign destinations where unexpected dangers could suddenly present themselves, the message is the same: Be aware and be smart. Spring break this year is the week of March 25. “We really focus on steps that you can take to avoid criminal activity,” said CU police spokesman Scott Pribble. CU officials did not know of a death by misadventure for a CU student at spring break since that of David Parrish, who was shot to death when his mother was mugged in Puerto Vallarta in 2008, which had a lasting impact on many CU students and staff. The fact that Parrish died while vacationing with his mother underscores the fact that — particularly in the current climate when many fear possible terrorist activities, both at home and abroad — it’s hard to ensure immunity from chance, potentially tragic events. Students planning spring break trips to nontraditional destinations outside the United States are advised to check first with the U.S. Department of State, which issues travel warnings and advisories. Pribble also urged students planning a trip to go through a reputable travel agency and avoid giving out personal information unless they know the person is legitimate to avoid scams. Students leaving for the week who usually leave their bikes outside also should consider stashing them

Alternative spring breaks

CU’s safety tips for students

What: CU’s alternative spring break program combines education on social justice issues with volunteer work. When: Information sessions are at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 16, Jan. 24 and Jan. 28 in UMC 458. Learn more: colorado.edu/ volunteer/ab/about.

• Remember to use the buddy system. Don’t walk alone, and don’t leave friends alone while out at night. • If you are out at night, remember it is harder for drivers to see you. Wear lighter colors. • Police officers and other emergency services personnel work to keep the community safe. Your assistance in maintaining a safe environment is appreciated. • People who want to exploit others often take advantage of the party environment and hope to go unnoticed. So if you doubt someone’s motives or are concerned about your or someone else’s safety, keep an eye on the situation and know when to make the hard call for help. • If you ever think a friend is in danger due to alcohol or other drugs, call 9-1-1.

inside to remove the temptation from bike thieves, he advised. Pribble emphasized that students shouldn’t be lulled into a false sense of security by an exotic locale or desire to let loose. “When you’re enjoying yourself, you want to make sure that you’re always aware of the situation around you and you’re in control of your food and drink and personal belongings,” he said. “Especially if travelling in another country, you should make sure you’re aware of the local laws. We just want people to be careful.” While the word “party” often appears in close conjunction with the words “spring break,” nowhere is it written that they must always be linked.

• Remember to be a good neighbor and keep your noise levels down. If you are hosting a party off-campus, please remember to sign up for the Party Registration Program. • If you plan to leave town for spring break, practice the same safety protocols you follow in Boulder, which includes traveling in groups, looking out for friends, keeping hydrated, knowing your limits and complying with the law.
