		<title>Sheer Torture but Good to Know (Part II)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Continuing with my ski resort rampage, I will delve into the resumes of several of the closer ski resorts to the greater Denver area. Echo Mountain Opening Day- Thanksgiving Weekend (unless weather plays a bad hand) General &#8211; Echo Mountain is definitely the unofficial &#8216;Mecca&#8217; for econo-skiers and boarders on the Front Range. It has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sheer Torture But Good To Know (Part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just in case everyone has not been tormented enough, I have decided to compile a rough overview of a few of the Front Range ski resorts! Included in this two part overview will be the given resort&#8217;s estimated opening day, general facilities/capabilities, and cool new additions. For the sake of order, I will list them [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I Miss and What I Don&#8217;t Miss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of benefits that come with living out on the flatlands. I always realized this whenever I took a trip into the mountains or cities, but now that I am actually living in a city (and in the mountains no less), both the benefits and disappointments of living [...]]]></description>

		<title>Econo-Skier Sounding Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all see them on the slopes, those skiers and snowboarders who have the newest and latest gear every year. Despite often lacking the skills and job title to back up the necessity for such consistent replacement, these &#8216;winter wonders&#8217; are still, for some reason, compelled to do so. This sort of behavior is not [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Break From The Normal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have made a great exception in bringing this post to the blog page. As anyone with my same idea of fun will tell you, being on a slope somewhere in the middle of nowhere is definitely more fun than being slouched in front of a TV screen. However, even the most relentless of us [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8220;Wells Fargo Deal&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have all heard about the amazing deal Wells Fargo puts on for college students and staff. Most, like myself, have bought this pass. However, out of the resorts covered by this pass, which one provides the most &#8216;bang for your buck&#8217;? The deal provides a buy-one get-one free pass for just over 400 buckaroos.

		<title>Freeboards Are Not Long Boards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer has long been a plague to many snowboarders, but now, their need for a more snowboard-like feeling alternative has come. Thanks mostly to my roommate I have been made aware of the new and rising sport of Freeboarding. Often times, people see him on campus and ask him what in the world he is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Missing Paintball</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Throughout the course of my outdoor adventures, one of the most memorable activities I have ever participated in is paintball. Few outdoor sports contain the variety that paintball provides. One can be battling a middle-aged man one moment and then a 13 year-old girl the next. It provides some great diversity of play, skill, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Word: Ski Poll!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gear up, shape up, and look to the sky. Snow is on the horizon and its classic smell is beginning to fill the air. Whether or not there is actual science to back up my theory or not, I feel there comes a time in the year when a person can smell snow coming. Some [...]]]></description>

		<title>San Rafael Swell, Utah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fall break is just around the corner, and with it, comes a time to relax, let go, andâ€¦ go to Utah! Well, if you have the money to drive yourself, or signed up at the ORC, then you are going to Utah. Most students are either going home or bumming Golden. Donâ€™t get me wrong; [...]]]></description>
