Biking Telluride’s Historic Galloping Goose Trail

August 9, 2011 by braveskimom

My family has a bone to pick with the United States Forest Service. Mostly, we like…even love… the Forest Service. Here in Colorado, they provide us with skiing, camping, hiking and mountain biking. They manage some of our most beautiful lands and generally they do it well. No, our family beef has nothing to do […]

Why My Family Loves Skiing at Telluride, Colorado

October 19, 2010 by braveskimom

There is nothing more stressful than skiing with a small child in a sea of people. Telluride has many wide groomers and few people on them.

20 Years (Mostly) Without Irony

August 18, 2010 by braveskimom

As we have counted down (up?) to the twenty-year mark, my husband has enjoyed telling pretty much everyone a story about our honeymoon. He usually begins it like this “We went to Crested Butte to go mountain biking for our honeymoon and I didn’t know until 17 years later that my wife thought I was trying to kill her.”

Spread the Love (thanks!)
