 Get Ready
Ski Clothes  Winter Driving Altitude Sickness  Mountain Weather

  Getting ready for a mountain getaway is a little different than a day at the beach.   

Adjusting to the altitude, preparing for weather hazards, understanding how to stay healthy, taking clothes that work in a variety of weather patterns and knowing how to make a meal that doesn't flop, are all issues looming as potential bumps (or moguls in this case) of your planned escape.

A little bit of knowledge and preparation go a long way in making sure you don't miss a beat.  Following are a few tips to get you started on the slopes in Colorado Ski Country.

Take my Breath Away! - the higher you go, the less oxygen you get to breath!  Ease yourself in and beware of signals your body sends. 

Colorado weather conditions
- the most predictable thing about Colorado Ski Country  weather is that it's unpredictable!  Be ready for whatever!

Clothes Horsing
- now that you know about the weather, what should you pack?

Driving 'Miss Haps'
- or, how to prevent getting stuck in a snow bank, freezing to death, or rescuing yourself before you get lost.

Airless Cooking
- well, not quite.  But that lack of oxygen can turn your favorite recipe into YUK! A few tricks will save the day and the dinner.
