The Spoke Word on Bike SolVista – Summer is here and all the snow that was covering SolVista Basin at Granby Ranch has melted revealing a very different side of the family owned and operated ski resort. The sweet, peaceful ski area has transformed into a gnarly mountain bike course for a second year of hosting the Mountain Bike National Championships from July 15 to 18.

A Patriot’s Paradise – It just makes sense to celebrate the Fourth of July in a place called Colorado Ski Country U-S-A. You can’t get much more American than that. And since the holiday is just around the corner, we’re gearing up for friends, food, and fun to celebrate. Mountain towns and resorts are offering festivities like parades and fireworks, while some are offering activities outside the fire cracker box. Here are some highlights of what’s happening in the high country for the holiday weekend.

Back on Track – With the close of A-Basin on June 6, the 2009/10 ski season will be history. Later that week, ski industry leaders from resorts across the state will migrate to Denver for the 47th Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) Annual Meeting, the largest annual gathering of Colorado ski industry professionals. This year’s Annual Meeting will be held at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center in downtown Denver on June 10.

And Then There Were Three – Three resorts are open this weekend, and it’s the last weekend for two of them. Like a high school graduation party, Echo Mountain and Loveland are ending the season with some pomp, circumstance and senior steeze.
Keeping Mad Skills Sharp
by Jennifer on Apr.27, 2010, under General
Keeping Mad Skills Sharp If you’re like me you tend to stay clear of terrain parks, rails, boxes, up downs, table tops, counter tops, desk tops, and the like. And, if you’re like me, you don’t know what half those things are but you appreciate and are amazed by what others can do on them. I mostly stay away because I don’t know what to do with them, could be because I haven’t been to Woodward at Copper.
