11/26/10Fresh start on Vail Mountain
VAIL, Colorado — Vail's start to the 2010-11 ski season was almost surreal — every skier and snowboarder at the mountain seemed to be smiling because of the deep snow Mother Nature so kindly provided to Vail Mountain this last week. The snow was the talk of the hill Friday at Vail. There was just so much of it that people were having a hard time believing it was an opening day in November, and not a spring-time powder day. “Usually I don't want to fight the crowds (on opening day), but it's worth it today,” said Debbie Tyler, a snowboarder. Vail Mountain announced Wednesday that it was doubling its opening day terrain from what was previously announced earlier in the week. Even resort... Posted at 01:00 AM | Permalink | Comments: 0 |

10/01/10Greek food fast in Minturn
MINTURN, Colorado — The only thing better than eating Greek food is Greek food that comes to you quickly. In Greek time, quick is any expanse of time less than it took to build the Acropolis. But Stephen Porter doesn't function on Greek time, he functions on entrepreneur time. So when you go to Nicky's Quickie in Minturn you get great Greek food faster than you can say “This is the best idea since they put the pocket in pita.” Nicky's Quickie has been open less than two weeks, and, so far so good. “You can eat our food with confidence.

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany — Standing atop the mountain, Lindsey Vonn already was the best skier in the world for the third year in a row.
