Beaver Creek, CO

Recently, while skiing at Beaver Creek, my binding released coming off the Centennial lift. I was warming up in the gondola and likely had some snow under my boot that triggered the release. I fell and injured the knee on one leg and the ankle on the other. Lisa of Ski Patrol was most compassionate and because another skier in the same area needed Ski Patrol, Lisa took me down to the base on the sled all by herself. Down the steep blues. Quickly but safely. That woman is strong! Give her a bonus!

Stand-up comedy meets storytelling, singing and poetry when Garrison Keillor takes the stage at Vilar Performing Arts Center Thursday. “One thing I’ve discovered is if I walk out and sing a few lines and hum a note, (the audience) hums it back to me. I don’t think anybody else does this,” Keillor said, adding that he then launches into “America (My Country, ’Tis of Thee).” “They’re right there with you. They know this song. There may be a few teenagers who need to Google it, but they haven’t sung it in decades, if ever, and they sound beautiful. They know these songs, and they sing in harmony and they are stunned by the beauty of their own singing.”

You might say that Jim Pavelich and Noah Bender are cooking with gas — at all of their restaurants. Hailing from New Hampshire, Bender, a graduate of Johnson and Wales Culinary school, left a job in Vail to help Pavelich open Northside Kitchen in 2011. Eventually, the two became partners and have, literally, taken their show on the road, opening other eateries from Edwards to West Vail. In Avon, the heart of the operation includes Northside Kitchen Grab n’ Go, Northside Benderz, Southside Benderz and Fattoria.
