In Winter...
Friday, January 1, 2016
Taking down the Christmas tree? Packing it all up for another year? Don't lose sight that it's a new year and time for new traditions. Channel your inner Gretzky or Lipinski and introduce your family to the world's largest zamboni-groomed outdoor rink just minutes from Denver -- Evergreen Lake.
This one is a memory-maker for sure but get there early. The parking is limited and unless you want to shuttle in, arrive by 10:30. Your family will want to make a day of it and though the Lake House offers a snack bar, let me suggest packing some hearty sandwiches and filling your thermos with hot cocoa. And, honestly, don't act like the soggy-bottomed teenagers and wear jeans. There are no walls at this rink so you have to pull up a snowbank to take a break. We found our ski pants to be the perfect pick.
Call the hotline before driving out as fluctuating temperatures and weather can affect the opening -- (720) 880-1300. And visit Evergreen Rec for pricing, parking and hours.
Triple Lutz anyone?

1. I'll take an ivory woody one please #griswolddreams #comingin2018.
2. Abundant sunshine sunnies.
3. The Barbour Beaufort may be the classic, but I prefer the Bedale for the extra banding around your wrist. Ladies, order small!
4. Cozy. We have two. Could maybe use another...
5. Sparkle. Buy them all and watch your daughters or they'll disappear (Caroline, I saw your school picture ya know).
6. Warm. Stop agonizing over this one and just buy them already.
7. Soft. These are all over Etsy. Pick one.
8. Woven. Fits everywhere.
9. It's dry & sunny up here. Buy this.
10. Buy these for you, your bestie and your Mom.
11. Because you're always losing your... keys.
