DSCN1658 DSCN1657 If your off season plans take you through the Denver Airport, pray that your plane is delayed (slightly) so that you’ll have time to go check out the current exhibit at the Ansbacher Hall, located on the walkway between the A concourse and the main terminal. Two local artists, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer and Meredith Nemirov, are featured in 33 IDEAS!, an exhibit showcasing innovative artists and writers who have investigated land and social issues in a variety of mediums.

ExtraMoistBalm_pr Part time Telluride local, beauty expert/entrpreneur Bobbi Brown started a makeup revolution in 1991 with just a handful of lipsticks and a simple notion: “Women want to look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident.”

Bobbi told Telluride Inside... and Out years ago she thinks all women are beautiful, regardless of age, race, shape or size. Bobbi's product philosophy can be summed up in a few words: make-up that is super-wearable and easy to apply, and products that enhance a woman's God-given gifts.

A day at the office Phillip Brooks with Dad Telluride is justly known for it's "interesting" skiing and I certainly enjoy that aspect of the mountain. Perhaps less well-known is the fact that Telluride is also a friendly, family, meet friends...

The first time I ever ducked the rope at the top of the Telluride Ski Resort to ski the off-piste terrain in Bear Creek, I was following a friend. The snow in the creek was about three feet deeper than it was on the ski area, and it was pretty deep on the ski area—the whole mountain had been enveloped in clouds for three days. We had our avalanche beacons, shovels and packs, but as I watched her disappear over the ridge into the gray, snowy mist, I couldn't help but feel spooked. 

Back then, it was still illegal to ski Bear Creek. The Forest Service had shut it down after a series of avalanche fatalities in 1986-87 and 1992; there would be another in 2002. The agency had gone so far as to arrest and prosecute a pair of skiers for trespassing into the closed area. Bear Creek only became more alluring, its mystique enhanced by tales of chest-deep powder runs and near-death scrapes with avalanches. Locals named the runs and chutes, and dropped in with increasing regularity.
