Jefferson, Colorado

Every year I eagerly look forward to the start of hut season in Colorado, escaping far away from the rest of the world to a remote winter cabin.  As much as I love the opportunity to ski fresh lines all day long, it's really the time spent with friends sharing food, games, and stories of past ad...

Are you ready for a challenge? This winter, take a road trip that tackles the slopes of five different ski resorts over five days. Where is this nirvana, you ask? Why, Colorado, of course. Colorado is home to some of the most sought-after Ikon Pass destinations in the United States. With your Iko...

After carrying Riley’s water bottles, bowls, treats, doggie bags, booties, and paw wax for many years I had decided it was time that Riley started contributing by carrying his own weight on our hiking adventures.  Dog Pack designs have developed extensively in popularity and practicality in rece...

Puffies are my favorite jackets and probably my favorite apparel! I own 4 different puffy jackets now, I wear them year-round, and if you see me in the wild there's a good chance I have one on. Warm puffy jackets keep me cozy from Colorado's cold summer mountain nights to Alaska's sub-zero tundra...

Colorado is having a great snow year. Rather, an insanely great snow year. Average snowpack across the state is over 500% for this time of year, and hit over 100% in some counties. The ski industry in the state had a record year for skier days. Several late season storm systems refreshed the snow...

This time of year is always exciting in the ski industry, more so in Colorado. In late fall we often have a handful of ski film premieres, like Level 1's Pleasure and Teton Gravity Research's Tight Loose, both incredible films in my opinion. A few weeks after, the snow begins to fall in the high-...

There are 58 peaks in Colorado over 14,000 feet. Visitors and locals add these Colorado hikes to their bucket-lists - some try to climb all of them! Legislative changes have led private landowners who own some of these peaks to rethink offering public access. Colorado hikes affected by liability...

Have you ever had an adventure that went completely wrong? Well, that was Jared's and I adventure this past Saturday. Jared and I had a Saturday off together which doesn't happen very often, and I wanted to make the most of it by exploring in the mountains. We had a few different locations i...

"Gimme a kiss to build a dream onAnd my imaginationWill thrive upon that kissSweetheart, I ask no more than thisA kiss to build a dream on" We took off on the dirt road as these words came across the stereo. I turned to Jared on my left, with the biggest grin on my face and thought, "Who is this ...

WHERE TO STAY Winter Park Resort has a variety of great lodging options (condos, hotels, townhomes) at the base of the village.  Airbnb is a great resource around this area and one we took advantage of. You can find a house with a gorgeous view that’s just down the road from the base village at...

A New and Beautiful Landscape One of my favorite things about traveling is simply being able to experience new landscapes. Having always lived on the East Coast of the United States, it is true that the Rocky Mountains are on a completely different level than anything back home. We're just not us...
