Outdoor Adventures
Whether we’re skiing powdery mountains, climbing frozen waterfalls, snowshoeing a forest of fir, or waking up to a snow capped winterscape, the town is electrified by holiday spirit and excitement of snowfall. Of course, while you’re here, you should really take advantage of its secluded, serene ski resort which is known for its uncrowded trails and fantastic terrain. In addition to the slopes, visitors can enjoy snowshoeing on guided hikes, snowcat adventures, and snowmobiling along with plenty of shopping and dining options. Take the entire family on a sleigh ride, snuggled under a warm blanket while hot chocolate warms you from the inside out.
Events and Activities
Many of the shops in town offer unique, locally made gifts for last minute shopping and trinkets. Stop by the Holiday Arts & Crafts Festival in November at the La Plata County Fairgrounds or the Craft Fair at the Strater Hotel in December.
