Just outside the town of Granby, Colorado lies a mountain get away that boasts all of the best activities Colorado has to offer for every seasonthat . But unlike Winter Park, just 15 miles down the road, and the other large ski resorts in Colorado, Granby Ranch has something the others don’t: community. That’s right, [...]
So it’s Sunday morning and I’m cooking up some eggs for breakfast. I’m not thinking about much other than I’m pretty happy with how the peppers and onions are browning for the omelette I’m making and I’m really excited to add some amazing Sriracha sauce to take this delicious breakfast creation to the next level. [...]

Beer, wine and bikes… oh, my!

It was a video, it was an audio podcast, and for a while, it was a whole lot of nothing, but the Weekly Update back and ready to go. Check out the video above for what’s going on in the mountains of Colorado this week. And check back each week for a new update.
I had the awesome good fortune to be able to ski two days at A-Basin over the July Fourth weekend. I was going to include some tips and tricks of where to go and what was happening in the mountains over the weekend, but it turns out the wireless connection at the Tiger Run RV [...]
What to do when all the snow’s gone and ski season is officially over? Many will head to other countries to ski, but few will go to a country without any mountains or snow. Except for me. I figured where better to go than to the desert? I recently went on a trip to the [...]

This week, there are tons of Mardi Gras activities in Vail, Breckenridge, Durango, and Keystone. And the Snowball Music Festival will be taking place up in Avon with some [...]
The Sims Legacy Jacket may just be the steeziest piece of apparel on the mountain. This great looking jacket garners compliments on and off the mountain (seriously, I’ve received compliments from multiple strangers). It’s got a few nice features and could probably benefit from a few more, but it’s perfect if your goal is to [...]

Dirtball makes its shirts and shorts [...]
A skiing or boarding mix is a tricky thing to make. As John Cusak said in High Fedelity, “The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take [...]
January 25th to February 6th is one of my favorite winter mountain events, the International Snow Sculpture Championships in Breckenridge. What?! you say? But Dave, there’s no skiing or boarding! No crowds, no DJ’s, and no cowbells! That’s right, it’s one of the more laid back mountain events, but it wins points because it’s just [...]
In this week’s update I get down to business and keep the podcast to under 13 minutes. I give you the low down on the death of Tramdock, and the new improved http://www.steepandcheap.com.

In case you live in a cave and totally missed it, Breckenridge got slammed with the best single-day storm of the season and received a whopping 26 inches of powder on Monday night. Hoards of front rangers crammed onto I-70 trying to get back home Monday afternoon and into the evening before the storm hit [...]

The “weekly” update took a short hiatus over the holidays as I had to make time for food, family, and food. But now it’s back and better than ever! I’m still letting you know where all the best events are taking place in the week to come, but now it’s with a little better audio [...]
Pop quiz hot shot! What winter event combines speed chainsaw carving, interpretive snowshoeing, fireworks, yoga, pancakes, skijoring, S’mores, live music, bump tips, dog sled racing and of course Aprés parties? Uh, it’s the name of this post, the Winter Park Snowfest; if you couldn’t figure that out you should probably stay really far away from the [...]
