Trouble In A Runner's Paradise!

Okay, this is for all you runners like me out there. Colorado... what other beautiful place would you pick for outside trail running and training? Perfect right?I recently decided to train for my first ever marathon right here in Boulder. Only two months into my training program and I have already pulled my IT ban. Can you believe it? Well, I can't stand it....the thought of hanging up my running shoes for a few months is heartbreaking....(literally)

The Beach





Spring has sprung and the flowers are blooming. Time to put the skis away until next season. Think again, the scene at Colorado's local resort ABasin (http://www.arapahoebasin.com/) is still hanging onto that wonderful spring snow. Where most resorts have closed for the season, Arapahoe Basin has embraced the warm weather taking skiing to a whole new level. Taking turns through soft silky snow in t-shirts under blue skies and warm weather provides a relaxing and enjoyable environment for skiers and snowboarders alike.




Spring skiing at ABasin is better known for its abundance of fun and unique atmosphere. After taking a few runs in the sun kick back and experience the beach. Located at the base of the mountain, the Beach (as it is known to locals) provides delicious barbecue, cold beers, and plenty of reggae music. Unbuckle your boats sit back and enjoy making new friends who enjoying skiing just as much as you.
