The days are short, the nights are long, and snow is starting to pile up in the Rockies, which is a sure sign that winter is officially here. Time to break out your puffy coat and your ice scraper. You probably already have rad winter plans, like shredding the slopes with your Ikon or Epic pass or soaking in a hot spring under the stars. But if your Colorado winter calendar isn’t completely booked, consider penciling in some of these beloved festivals around the state.

  • Colorado ski town museums that are worth a visit
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 01/14/2025 - 08:00 AM

    If you can pull yourself away from skiing or snowboarding, consider taking a few hours to visit a museum on your next ski adventure to restore your body and fuel your mind. Colorado is home to 28 ski areas and resorts, each with a fascinating backstory. These places have a rich history, from being the homelands and hunting grounds of the Ute, Arapahoe, and Cheyenne Native American Tribal Nations to the influx of silver and gold miners to the settlement of homesteading ranchers and cowboys and the development of ski areas by post-war veterans of the 10th Mountain Division soldiers of World War II.
