Sleepy towns dotted along a snowy highway, friendly folk welcome you with good food and delicious libations and if you’re lucky enough you get to hit the slopes for a fresh powder frenzy. This is Colorado as I’ve come to appreciate it. This past weekend, we took a trip to Telluride Ski Resort where much fun was had but more importantly, a return to relaxation. Yes there are many opportunities to Après Ski the day away, I found my happy place in the slower pace that the mountains can provide.
As fate would have it, Colorado experienced one of the worst (or best however you look at it) snow weekends of the season and we were caught in it. While I came prepared for snowy conditions, I still had to get my bearings in the whiteout conditions. When we did hit the road, it was mostly to eat. Amazing and tasty meals were had at Taco Del Gnar and Provisions at the Barber Shop, where locally sourced ingredients were made to shine amongst the various dishes we sampled.
The skiing was great and with that said Telluride *might* be my favorite mountain to visit now! I can’t say enough good things about the people we encountered and the service we received from the resort staff. It truly is a magical place if you ever have the chance to visit! Of course our ski days were filled with the right gear but when it was time to dine or see the town, you know I let my full mountain fashion geek shine. A pair of these GORGEOUS Avalanche Butte Boots from UGG are packed with innovations like military-grade leather (which lends waterproofing, durability, and breathability) and a serious sole that’s built to keep its grip on wet ice and more. With soft wool lining, this boot withstands temps as low as -32˚C. Take them anywhere you want – or just wear in the city with your favorite denim. They were dreaming to wear about town in a comforting and warmed up way.
I also was loving on this totally apropos sweater and shirt combo from Scotch & Soda. Although now sold out, this pair was the perfect amount of “playing to your audience” as much as it was a whimsical take on mountain apparel. I was totally into it and can’t wait to rock the pair again!
If you ever hear the mountains calling you to come play, listen. Take my advice and never miss the chance to breath it the crisp air the area provides and visit the beautiful lands of Colorado.
