Hey Super Bowl fans, what are you planning to eat during the Big Game? Mac ‘n Cheese Jalapeno Poppers? Mile High Nachos? Grilled BBQ Potato Skins? Smokin’ Hot Buffalo Wings?
Football and food seem to go together so inextricably that even a fair weather fan like myself knows that I need get my game on in the kitchen this Sunday. And there is plenty of inspiration out there to help me plan my menu. Every celebrity chef with a TV show seems to have weighed in with his or her variation of a classic gridiron favorite.
The statisticians are busy thinking about Super Bowl fare as well. But their numbers have often been a little wonky. It is probably closer to 8 million pounds of avocados used to make guacamole this weekend than the 80 million that is often reported. That’s still an awful lot of chip dip.

Forget your old ideas about wheelchair-bound people: Telluride Adaptive Sports Program's education and development manager, Sylvie Fadrhonc gets around in her chair and on the mountain in her monoski, and you will run to keep up with her. Seriously.

Telluride Adaptive Sports Program (TASP) continues to serve regional school kids, locals and visiting folks with disabilities.

Under the guidance of TASP program director Tim McGough, participants in the Expand Your Horizons Ski Camp (this year January 30- February 4) can experience the hike-to terrain at Telluride, and even ski with Helitrax, Telluride's helicopter skiing service.
