I'm a brand/tech/ innovation enthusiast + sports junkie who likes popcorn & peonies. I live in Boulder where I pretend to be rugged. Currently, I'm a grad student at BDW. You can see my full portfolio here.
After a trip to Vail this weekend that included a hike on a new favorite trail (Shrine Ridge), I’m in love with Colorado all over again. It’s hard not to be most days– but you know what happens when you’ve been one place for a long time…
It’s nice that a day trip can make me giddy all over again.
It started with an exciting Friday morning when ’4th and Flatiron’ was Freshly Pressed on WordPress.com. I was both shocked and thrilled - and loved reading all of the interesting and sweet comments that I received. Thank you!
I left late Friday night to spend time in Vail with a few friends from business school (the same friends as here and here…). Between the joining the apres-ski scene, visiting a new brewery and night tubing, there was also plenty of down time – which in a dominantly masculine group (ie. I was the only girl) included lots of goofing off. I hope that your weekend was equally cozy and happy.
To start the week, here’s a fun video that my friend Ben took as we swirled down the hill at Vail’s Adventure Ridge.
From Iowa to Vail in one day! Whew! In a car none-the-less.
To cap off a fantastic weekend with family, I arrived home last night, re-packed and buzzed up I-70 to Vail to spend the day with visiting college friends. I wish I could be doing some of the above… alas, friends from afar = flights times and driving duties. All is forgiven, soon enough I’ll be back up…
