The Bite:
imageWanna chase down some powder? Steal away for a day to Copper Mountain. It's got 125 trails - you'll find us on the Timberline Express lift's intermediate runs (though if the economy keeps tanking, we may consider the Union Bowl double-diamonds...). Traveling with your gang? On the last Saturday of each month, carpools (at least four peeps) get free parking in the Alpine Lot, plus coupons for $4 burgers in the food court - you'll save money and keep CO2 outta the rarified air. Plus, CM buys renewable energy credits to offset 100% of its power use. And if carving turns uses up all your power, refuel at the C.B. Grille in the village with crab-encrusted wild salmon before you make your getaway.
Wanna Try: 
Copper Mountain, 209 Ten Mile Cir., Copper Mountain. Map It (866-841-2481). Lift ticket, $92/day. C.B. Grille (970-968-3113). Crab-encrusted wild salmon, $29.

Cocktail Fact

A liquor store robber in CO Springs demanded all the cash, plus a bottle of Scotch; when the clerk asked for proof of age, the would-be criminal produced his ID.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters carpool in groups of four to Copper Mountain instead of driving solo, we'll save enough gas to fill a Boeing 747's tank.
