Ideal Bite

Who was that ski-masked man? That'd be you, natch, at Silverton Mountain. The black-diamond set already loves the steep and deep runs at this reservations-recommended spot, but here's more reason to giddyup at SM: Tons of stuff there - from the lifts to the rescue sleds to furnishings in its base hut/lodge - was made from recycled or reclaimed materials, so you'll be supporting a resort that kept thousands of pounds of stuff outta the trash heap. Afterward, head to town for some organic, fair-trade coffees at the Steam and Steel Café (a rich cuppa Americana, perhaps?). And if you're spending the night, rest up at the Teller House Hotel, a 112-year-old building furnished with recycled and refinished Victorian antiques. Now...away!
