4 @ 4.

Alas, another ski season has drawn to an end here in Vail. And what a glorious season it twas. Like every year on closing day, we celebrated with a mountain top soiree. When chair four closes at four 'o' clock, we PARTY!!!
The festivities this year were as crazy as ever, I saw some great costumes, hung out with amazing friends, and perhaps drank a bit too much champagne!! I thought you all might enjoy a few of the pictures. So here is a wee little taste:

Until next year my friends . . . 

Bonfire Brewing.

One of the greatest things about living in Colorado is BEER! It is a beer lovers paradise. I live in a very small town and there are three great breweries right near me!! (Two within walking distance of my house, can you say dangerous!?!?) Well this weekend, Ty and I decided to visit one of our favorite breweries, Bonfire Brewing! Bonfire is one of the most creative breweries that I have visited! They brew what they like to drink and their passion can be tasted!! As a bonus, their beers are often hilariously named, like one of my personal favorites, Demshitz Brown Ale and another, the Tebrew!!! Sheer greatness I tell you! Here are some pics of our outing:

This place is truly one of my favorite spots to grab a tasty beverage, kick back, and chill with some super cool peeps. They also have live music on their patio, which is always a guarenteed good time. If you happen to be in my neck of the woods, I highly suggest you take the time to check out this little gem. You will not be dissapointed.

What are some of your local gems?? Whats your favorite beer?

Ski Joring.

What the Heck is Ski Joring???

Thats a question 99.9% of people would likely ask. However if you are from my neck of the woods, you know that Ski Joring is the ridiculous sport of being pulled by horse off a jump on skis, down the middle of a street! Yes, thats right my friends. Ski Joring.

If you have never attended a ski joring competition (which you probably havent) just know that it is an event that involves whiskey, screaming, and cow bells!

Here are some highlights from this past Saturday:

So now you know, if you ever hear of Ski Joring, you need to get your heiny to the show, cause it is a guaranteed fun afternoon!!

Come join me in Colorado for the finals in a few weeks:

Rocky Mountain Ski Joring

Have you ever been Ski Joring?? Let me here your thoughts!!

Danielle Ate The Sandwich.

A little while ago I had the amazing experience of seeing Danielle Ate The Sandwich at one of my favorite venues up here, The Vilar Center. I had never heard of this girl before but as soon as I read her name I said "I have to go!" (I mean right!?!? How awesomely random is her name) Anywho, I'm so glad I did. So literally, I am not joking you when I say during this concert I was both hysterically laughing and hysterically crying at the same time. Must have embarrassing for my boyfriend, sorry Charlie!! (his name isnt Charlie) Maybe it was just a certain time of the month but I think it was more Danielle. She is witty, heartfelt and hilarious without even trying. One of those girls you meet and instantly are like "Damn, I wanna be her best friend" I guess one could say I had a bit of a girl crush! I hope you fall in love with her as much as I did cause I really think she is the cat's pajamas!!

Check her Out:

{the first one I heard, "Faith in a Man"}

{Her new jam, "Bad Habit"}

{I think this one made me cry, "Where the Good Ones Go"}

Get it now?? 

Good.

PS: Leave a comment, I wanna hear yo thoughts!!!

my town.

I had such a great time yesterday walking around Vail and taking pictures, all the while pretending I was a tourist. It can be so easy to take things we see everyday forgranted, I loved looking at all those places that I appreciate with a new eye. I hope you enjoy the pics!!

PS: I am obviously still working on my picture taking and collage making abilities!
