Your sunscreen suggestion is a good one. Today, my plastic surgeon reminded me to always use sunscreen.

Good morning Debbie. Many ski resorts have come up with some pretty amazing events throughout the year to keep revenues coming. Sound like this one has come up with some neat stuff as well.

I'll take the BBQ cookoff and the movie for $100, Debbie.  You can keep the bungee jumping, and the paintball.  But, there is a wide variety of activities for sure!  

PS - No more blogs for me until they restore my points.

Debbie, another great Localism Post about your area and the Powderhorn Mountain Resort, Grand Mesa, Co.  If I had one question it would be; What is "The chairlift, bungee trampoline and bag jump" all about?

Well, Nick...you can ride the chairlift that in the winter time takes the skiers to the top of the runs. The bungee tramp is all about jumping high on a tramp with a bungee cord. The bag jump I've never seen in operation.
