"Skiier v.s. Snowboarder Battle"

The other day when I was skiing at Arapahoe Basin, I was on the chair lift with a man that was hating on snowboarders. The skier vs. snowboarder battle has been going on for as long as I can remember. I snowboarded for several years before I picked up skiing for the second time. When I started snowboarding, the sport was relatively new.

I remember feeling like I was such a nuisance to the skiers on the mountain. As a skier now, I definitely don’t have anything against snowboarders. I think it’s silly that so many skiers only look at snowboarders as punk, stoner kids whose main goal is to ruin the skiers day.

Many of my friends that I ski with are snowboarders; however, there is something to be said about skiing with another awesome skier that has similar taste.

"A Possible Plan for Burying Interstate-70 at Vail"

The town for Vail feels that it is possible to bury Interstate-70 through Vail. The question now is how they will get the money to fund such a project. Officials believe that a solution could possibly be found within the next 20 years. One option includes lowering the interstate and putting a lid on it is certain locations. Although this may solve the noise problem, I think it would take away from the Vail’s natural beauty.

There are other options including using quiet pavement on the interstate or advising residents to make improvements in their homes to reduce noise. Officials feel there needs to be a serious event to get the ball rolling on the tunnel plans. We may see Colorado bid for the Winter Olympics in the future.

"Glenwood Canyon Bike Path to Open This Saturday"

Just because the ski season has ended doesn't mean that your trips to the mountains have to stop. There are many opportunities for other activities up in the mountains this spring and summer. Mountain biking has kept many skiers and riders busy during the spring and summer months.

Glenwood Canyon bike path which streached 25 miles will open this Saturday for riders that don't mind the cold. bikers might want to get their rides in early because the Colorado River rises and the path may close in a couple of months. The path is only open during the spring and summer months due to maintenance on interstate-70.

Get your rides in early before the path closes again.
