JANUARY EVENTS IN COLORADO SKI COUNTRY

Arapahoe Basin Set to Open Montezuma Bowl; Copper Hosts Burton Super Demo & Am Series; Keystone Lodge & Spa Unveils Improvements

DENVER, Colo. - January 7, 2008 - Colorado Ski Country proudly announces these January events.

  • Arapahoe Basin is set to open Montezuma Bowl later this month.  The Montezuma Bowl expansion will increase the ski area's terrain by 80 percent this coming ski season. The 400-acre Montezuma Bowl, located on the backside of Arapahoe Basin, will be the nation's largest terrain expansion for the 2007-2008 ski season.  The resort worked closely with the White River National Forest and other agencies to ensure that the design and construction of Montezuma Bowl have minimal environmental impact on the terrain.

    The new terrain will include blue, black and double black slopes for a total of 36 additional runs. The skier and rider will discover cornices, chutes, glades and wide-open bowls. Several runs will be groomed nightly, providing the intermediate guest with much coveted additional cruising terrain. Hike-back terrain past the lower lift terminal will also be available for the adventurous skier or rider who has more interest in experiencing a remote, back country feel.  Visit www.ArapahoeBasin.com for more details.

  • Copper Mountain hosts the largest consumer demo tour in the snowboard world, Burton Super Demo & Am Series, January 11-13.  The weekend will include free demos of Burton boards, boots and bindings along with the chance to check out new products and interactive experiences from the Super Demo Tour Partners: Volvo, Paul Mitchell, GORE-TEX®, anon optics and R.E.D. Also, skiers and riders will compete for a spot in the 2008 US Open and cash prizes.  Visit www.CopperColorado.com for more details. 

  • Keystone Lodge & Spa unveils a remodeled spa featuring 100 percent wind power, organic products, indigenous ingredients, eco-friendly staff uniforms, and natural light.  The spa will feature 10 total treatment rooms with more than 10,000 square feet in total, and that is not even including the pool. The additions feature five new treatment rooms including an infinity-edge chromo therapy tub, a Vichy shower room, a couple's room, a manicure/pedicure area and a beautifully designed relaxation room.  Visit www.KeystoneResort.com for more details.
