Santa Skis at Arapahoe Basin 

By R. Scott Rappold

'Twas the day before Christmas Eve and it was raining heavily in southern California with a wind out of the southwest.  

For Colorado skiers and snowboarders, that means one thing: snow is on the way. 

And, for my part of Colorado at least, Christmas will be a powder day. 

If you live in ski country and live for winter, there is a goal that belongs on your bucket list.

It's the time of the year when Colorado starts to see more frequent days of snow and that is exactly what we've seen over the weekend. Colorado was left with beautiful scenery all across the state.

Get muddy and conquer the obstacles on this adventure race that is fun for the whole family.  This is one of Purgatory’s most popular events of the year. This mud run has more than 20 great obstacles, tons of mud, and the most amazing scenery of any mud run around!
