Title So it snowed… finally. Despite the icy roads and slippery sidewalks, for many, a lovely snowfall is an excuse to go sledding, even if it is just down that tiny median in front of your home.

Our friend Jody Mace at Charlotte on the Cheap (a Southern gal, go figure) has come up with 17 DIY options. [Read more…] about 17 Easy Do-It-Yourself Sleds

MY Denver PRIME Card – Free Recreation Center & Pool Access For Seniors

I am so excited about this new program for older adults who live in Denver. Who says, kids should get all the fun… and perks? For several years, children with a MY Denver Card have breezed into Denver’s rec centers and pools without paying a dime. Now comes MY Denver PRIME, a brand new program that provides FREE access to 28 recreation centers and 31 pools to Denver residents 60 and older.

Let’s face it. Health club memberships can be expensive, and while Denver Recreation Centers are more affordable, they remain out-of-reach for many on a budget. That’s a shame, because staying active is the best way to keep both body and mind healthy. Plus, fitness classes and clubs offered at the recreation centers are a great way to make new friends and widen your social circle. MY Denver PRIME launched January 1, 2018. Here are the details: [Read more…] about MY Denver PRIME Card – Free Recreation Center & Pool Access For Seniors

View Pre-Olympic Ski Races for Free

Beaver Creek regularly hosts America’s Opening, a trio of men’s early-season speed events (downhill, Super G, giant slalom). In Olympic years, the races take on a special excitement. A trip to Peyong Chang, South Korea is expensive, but viewing just up the road is  FREE. The racers have been training for several days, with the competitions from Friday, December 1 through Sunday, December 3. If you want to get to today’s Super G starting at 10:45 a.m., better hustle. Follow signs for parking in Avon. FREE shuttles from the Covered Bridge to the Red Tail Stadium, which opens at 8 a.m.

There’s plenty of race-ready snow on the courses, but with less than ideal cover for recreational use, expect lighter-than-usual weekend traffic in the high country. Plan on getting there early, because the stands do fill up. The thrilling downhill on Saturday starts at 11 a.m. The first run of Sunday‘s giant slalom is at 9:30 a.m. and the second run at 12:45. Surrounding the races are all manner of FREE events, including live music, kids’ activities, autograph sessions. And the party atmosphere in Beaver Creek Village is electric all weekend long. Click here for details.
