Permanent link to Ski lessons of love at Monarch Mountain Feb 3, 2009 — Skiing was not at the forefront of Luis Lopez’ mind when he struck up a conversation with a young Colorado girl at a coffee shop one fateful day in 2007.

Underground adventures a year-round attraction even in the high country

Permanent link to Underground adventures a year-round attraction even in the high country Sep 8, 2008 — The chill in the air in the Vail Valley the last week or so and the dusting or two of snow on the high peaks serve as a stark reminder that ski season is just around the corner after only officially ending about two months ago (A-Basin shut down in early July).
