Natural Highs: Pack Man

Natural Highs: Pack Man

This summer is already looking as if it is going to be a gorgeous one with the weather allowing us to venture outside for pool parties, picnics, and outdoor adventures. Although the lack of snow has left a lot of the land pretty dry, one can’t help but enjoy the blue skies and breezy sunshine-filled...

Natural Highs: Mountain Music

Music is much more than entertainment. It can be found in the aspects of life we often lose in the daily turmoil of things, if we allow it. We find it easy to cluster and organize things into groups in order to simplify the hectic schedules we create or the numerous tasks we wish to...

Natural Highs: First Chair

Although snow is in the immediate forecast, many resorts are still hurting for the stuff, especially places like Steamboat. So when I realized wow, I’m not going to get the powder I crave as often as I thought I would living in a mountain town, I had to completely revamp my sleep schedule. Early mornings...

Downward Dog Style: Yoga Rocks the Butte

You’ve been to the Springs and not the western slope? Hmm…you may need a bit of an attitude, err, altitude? adjustment. The western slope is the prettiest part...

Natural Highs: Powder Daze

Sunshine sucks. Sure, sunshine is great if you live on the beach in California, if you’re going hiking in the Rockies during summer, or you want the foot of snow in your driveway to melt so you don’t have to shovel it. But when you live in Skitown, USA–aka Steamboat Springs, Colorado–you learn to hate...

Natural Highs: Colorado Ski & Snowboard Expo

This past weekend, I had the delight of attending the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Expo at the Colorado Convention Center. With resorts like A-Basin, Copper and Keystone now open, I figured it was finally time to invest in that new snowboard I needed in preparation for what looks to be a winter “packed” with snow....

Natural Highs: Fall Daze

The brisk October weather is finally beginning to settle in to all the valleys and cracks stretching across our gorgeous state, having already left snow scattered across our mountainous peaks. Fruit season is ending, and flowers dwindle with the last petals of summer falling away. Nighttime temperatures will soon drop below freezing, sending green lawns...

Natural Highs: Leaving

Leaving is the act of separating oneself willingly The decision to fall from current states of life Alter your immediate surroundings Finding possibility lies around the trail as it bends Leaves flutter vividly in golden showers Tossing themselves through air and falling down To rest where they will guide our open hearts Through pages in...
