The Bite:
We were just talking about needing to chill out, and along comes Full Moon Ski night at Devil's Thumb Ranch. For just five bucks, you can cross-country all evening on DTR's 65-plus miles of trails - everything from the flat Ranch Loop to steeps. Ninety-minute night drive home sound a little hellish? Stay at DTR's upscale lodge and grab a spa massage (us = noodles after the Sole Survivor foot treatment and a deep-tissue rub). Or chow on the Ranch House's local, organic deliciousness (like Grilled Striploin of Colorado Elk with onion jam jus). Plus, DTR's buildings have geothermal heat and beetle-kill pine accents, and its roads use recycled asphalt. Time to make an appearance.
Wanna Try: 
Full Moon Ski at Devil’s Thumb Ranch; Fri., Mar. 6, 7:30-9:30 pm; 3530 County Rd. 83, Tabernash. Map It (800-933-4339). Trail access and bonfire,$5; equipment rental,$5.

Cocktail Fact

In the Middle Ages, people believed that if you mentioned the devil by name, he would appear – with dire consequences.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters avoid the treadmill for 15 hours each month and exercise outdoors instead, in a year we'll save enough energy to power a postworkout whirlpool tub for almost 29 years.
