european apres ski, sunny deck

Skiing and boarding are on your mind. Planning for your winter vacation has never been more fun – but it’s time to plan for and take a needed break after you’ve skied all day. When the mountain closes, you’ll want to relax and have something to eat. That’s why they created “apres ski.” Find a spot to warm up in the village or downvalley, hear some music, and have a beverage. Snack a bit before napping and getting ready for dinner in the evening. Don’t know where to start?  Check out these hot spots in the Vail area: http: just cut and paste into your browser  ~  //vail.funafar.com/Vail-CO/Apres-SkiNightlife/Local-Hangouts/752/

Beaver Creek reports 3 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours. Beaver Creek now has a base of 53 inches of POWDER and packed powder. If you don’t want to carry your equipment on the airplane, go shopping for the latest in ski and snowboard rental packages. You can try out the 2010 gear and carry a lighter load. There are ski, snowboard, and snowshoe shops all over the valley from Vail to Beaver Creek to Edwards, and the professionals know what will be best for your needs. You might even find the gear that you just have to buy and take home with you.

* Bookworm will donate part of the proceeds from this event to Gore Range Natural Science School. The prevalence of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity among millions of adults and children has created the need for gluten-free recipes that are as nutritious and tasty as their traditional counterparts. Popular food blogger Elana Amsterdam offers 99 family-friendly classics-from Pancakes to Eggplant Parmesan to Chocolate Cake-that feature her gluten-free ingredient of choice, almond flour. Because these recipes are low glycemic, low in cholesterol and dairy, and high in protein and fiber, they are also ideal for people with diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol. Contact: Besse Lynch, besse@bookwormofedwards.com, Elana Amsterdam, elana@elanaspantry.com
