THE COLORADO TRIFECTA
DENVER, Colo. - April 2008 - When spring rolls around in Colorado, many outdoor enthusiasts face the agonizing decision of what to do with all the sunshine, open space, and snowy mountains. Weekends are torn between skiing, fishing, hiking or golfing. One solution is to attempt the challenge of the "trifecta", which is to participate in three favorite outdoor activities on the same day.
Springtime in ski country brings the perfect opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to perfect the trifecta. Late season snow keeps the mountains calling while warmer temperatures entice skiers and riders toward other favorite sports. This spring, guests are encouraged to load up the multi-purpose car rack and head for the hills to embark on their own Colorado Trifecta.
Ski-cli-yak Trifecta
Spend the morning overlooking the continental divide
making turns at Loveland under bluebird skies. After a few hours
laying tracks in the snow along The Ridge, head to Golden's North
Table Mountain to rack in a few more vertical feet by rock
climbing. When the shakes kick in, it's time to grab a kayak and
hit-up the playhole at Golden's Clear Creek White Water
Park.
Golf-ski-fi Trifecta
Make an early morning tee-time for a round at a favorite golf
course. At mid morning, skip the back nine and cruise up to
Breckenridge to ride Peak 9. When the last chair rolls around, wind
down the day by fishing the Blue River at sunset.
Ski-raf-ike Trifecta
Plan for an early departure to make first chair and score fresh
tracks at Copper Mountain. Spend the morning exploring Union Bowl
and then head east and stop at a local rafting company to run some
white water on Clear Creek. To polish off the day, cruise over to
the hiking trails behind Red Rocks to catch the view at
sunset.
Bike-be-ski Trifecta
Hop on a road bike at sunrise and spin around the city before
grabbing some Frisbee discs and heading to the Frisbee golf course.
Trade in the flip-flops for some boots and bindings when pulling
into Arapahoe Basin. Ride Montezuma Bowl and maybe even hike the
East Wall before descending to the Beach for some live music and
après in A-Basin's parking lot.
Of course, tailoring these options to meet individual tastes is easy. It's choosing only three that is the challenge, after all, there are only 24 hours in a day.
