The Broadmoor Magazine 2018-2019

in the making a Century

A beacon of hospitality and grace, The Broadmoor builds on its tradition of excellence.

TO OUR GUESTS

However, in this time of Centennial celebration, we are taking an opportunity to reflect on our beginnings, as we also look forward to what we might expect in the next 100 years. While there is no crystal ball to predict the future, the one thing we know is that our commitment to excellence is steadfast—as it was with Spencer and Julie Penrose, who envisioned not just a great resort, but a true destination. While we continue to improve our main campus and make additional changes that reflect our times, we have not lost sight of the great responsibility we have to maintain the stewardship and independence that has always been our foundation.

to The

Along with continually striving to improve our service and facilities, we are excited to add to our family as well. In 2016, the purchase of Sea Island Resort in Georgia was announced, placing our two historic and iconic resorts under one ownership and forming The Broadmoor–Sea Island Corporation. Sea Island—with five miles of private oceanfront, classically beautiful facilities, award-winning golf, dining, spa and a wide array of activities—is the perfect complement to all we have to offer here at the gateway to the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It is a synergy that is virtually unmatched anywhere in the world. Between the two resorts, we hold a total of seven sets of Forbes Five Star awards. That is as humbling as it is remarkable.

We are also focusing on our golf legacy in this issue, as we prepare to host the 2018 U.S. Senior Open, June 27 to July 1. This will be our eighth USGA tournament, and our 23rd major golf event since The Broadmoor’s original Donald Ross course hosted its first tournament benefitting the Red Cross in 1918. We are pleased to announce that John Elway of the Denver Broncos is the honorary chair. An NFL Hall of Fame member and an avid golfer, there is no one better to represent Colorado as the face of this National Championship. This magazine also marks the third of a three-part collectors’ set focusing on the Centennial, where you can learn more about our history and how it ties to what lies ahead. To give you even more insight, a new book full of rarely seen images chronicles our rich and unusual development. It reveals the incredible foresight of our founders, how they came here, what drove them and how they set the framework for all that we are today. This limited-edition book, titled “The Broadmoor Story,” is available only at the resort and through our online e-store.

Welcome to The Broadmoor We are so pleased that you have chosen to celebrate this landmark year with us. Whether you are a first-time guest or a longtime member of our family, you are now forever a part of our history. Thank you for joining us.

Sincerely,

STEPHEN BARTOLIN JR. Chairman of The Broadmoor and President of The Broadmoor–Sea Island Company

THE ROAD AHEAD

THE BROADMOOR’S RELATIONship with Cadillac spans more than seven decades. From the 1930s though the 1950s, the resort had one of the largest private fleets of Cadillac vehicles in the world. The cars were used to transport guests to and from the resort, for sightseeing tours around the region and for special occasions. The brand was also a favorite of resort founder Spencer Penrose, who personally selected several custom models for the resort and for his own use.

Today’s guests also benefit from this Cadillac connection. Cadillac Escalade SUVs are exclusively used to transport guests to and from the resort’s Wilderness Experience properties, and guests may also reserve a complimentary threehour test drive of several new Cadillac models through The Broadmoor’s Ride and Drive program. Two fully restored models from The Broadmoor’s historic fleet are also available with chauffeurs for use by bridal parties, during corporate events and other special occasions. Here’s a look at several notable vehicles from the resort’s history:

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

When Spencer Penrose chose the perfect car as an anniversary present for his wife,

Julie, he ordered this custom-built beauty with a V-8 engine and specially designed Hibberd & Darrin body. The Penroses traveled to France to pick up the car, and enjoyed its appointments and luxurious ride during a month-long tour of Europe.

1936 V12 CADILLAC TOURING CARS

Penrose purchased this model to become part of his Gray Line Touring Company, which he acquired in 1936 and boasted the world’s largest fleet of Cadillacs. Guests utilized these cars for sightseeing trips, touring and excursions to popular attractions. In pleasant weather, you will often see a fully restored version of this model parked in front of the resort’s main entrance. It’s also available for special events.

1937 FLATHEAD V8 CADILLAC TOURING CAR

This 1937 custom-made Cadillac was part of the original fleet that served the hotel through the 1950s. The number of these elegant vehicles reached a high of 13 in 1956. The car has been meticulously restored to mint condition and is available for viewing at the resort, as well as for special events and weddings.

ESSENTIALS

CADILLAC RIDE AND DRIVE

BROADMOOR GUESTS AND Golf Club members can experience four Cadillac models—an Escalade, XTS, CT6 or XT5— firsthand through a courtesy Ride and Drive program.

Contact the Concierge at 844-8708274 to reserve your complimentary two-hour test drive of a new Cadillac. Availability may vary.

FOR THE GARAGE

A LEGACY OF ICE

Resort honors The Broadmoor Ice Palace and associated athletes with fundraising event.

BY ALLISON SCOTT

ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS ICE CENTERS IN THE UNITED States, The Broadmoor Ice Palace was born from the imagination and foresight of Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose after seeing the Olympic gold medalist and Hollywood star Sonja Henie perform. His vision was clear: Transform the indoor riding arena he built in 1930 into a place where guests could not only skate, but also enjoy watching ice shows and exhibition hockey games. It was the beginning of what would be yet another Broadmoor legend.

While the original Ice Palace, renamed The Broadmoor World Arena in 1961, no longer stands, it still remains as a cornerstone of skating sports. To honor all the Ice Palace meant, and all the great athletes and coaches who called it home, The Broadmoor hosted its first of many Centennial celebration events on January 20, 2018. Called “A Legacy of Ice,” the event raised funds for the U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund and USA Hockey Foundation. It was a perfect way to support the next generation of athletes, while honoring all those who came before them—not only in figure skating and hockey, but in speed skating and curling as well.

OLYMPIC ATHLETES Clockwise from top: Broadmoor Ice Palace 1941; Mary Blair Polaski; 2018 Olmpians Chris and Alexa Kneirim, Vincent Zhou and Mirai Nagasu; Debbie, Donnie, Brenda and Billy Shipstad (1975); Thayer Tutt with Mike Eruzione and Ken Olin, Russia vs. USA hockey (1979); Peggy Fleming.

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

Enjoy timeless traditions and treasured recipes with two new cookbooks from The Broadmoor and Sea Island resorts.

THE COMING TOGETHER OF TWO privately held brands under one owner is nearly unheard of in today’s hospitality industry, yet when it was announced that The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs and Sea Island resort in coastal Georgia would be united under the shared ownership of the Anschutz family, it made perfect sense.

Both properties share a long and distinguished history as iconic resorts, and both have been recognized with numerous Forbes Five Star and AAA Five Diamond awards for their longstanding commitment to excellence. Each offers guests an unequaled luxury experience steeped in tradition, while also continually enhancing its offerings to better serve today’s discerning luxury travelers.

“While the diversity of the two settings— ocean and mountain—creates uniquely different guest experiences, what truly bonds these legendary resorts together is an unwavering commitment to excellence,” says Steve Bartolin, chairman of The Broadmoor and president of The Broadmoor–Sea Island Company. “The Broadmoor and Sea Island

combine two of the very few remaining independent resorts left in the world that, throughout their storied histories, have set the standards for service and facilities.”

Now guests may enjoy a taste of the resorts in their own home with two new books—“The Broadmoor: Spirit of the West” and “Sea Island: Soul of the South”, both by Sarah Anschutz Hunt— that capture the unique flavor and lifestyle that makes each resort one-of-a-kind. The books are packaged together in an attractive slipcase that represents the coming together of these two iconic brands. Each book details timeless traditions and includes favorite recipes and beautiful photography that highlight the unique nature of each resort. For past guests, it’s a treasured keepsake that reminds them of memories made in these special places. And for those who haven’t yet visited, it’s a small taste of what’s in store.

1 GUESTS COULD WATER-SKI ON THE LAKE

For a time during the 1960s, water-skiing was allowed on Cheyenne Lake. The resort would host demonstrations, and guests could also strap on a pair of skis and take a lap around the lake.

FUN FACTS ABOUT THE BROADMOOR

3 THE BROADMOOR’S FIRST POOL MADE A SPLASH

The Broadmoor’s 35-by-80foot indoor swimming pool was the largest in the West when the resort opened in 1918. Lined with blue-andwhite ceramic tiles, the pool was filled with mountain spring water and purified by filters and a powerful violet-ray machine. The indoor pool was closed in 1961 and covered over.

4 THERE’S AN OUTOF-STEP DANCER ON THE CEILING

The Broadmoor’s main mezzanine, fronting the lake, is painted with an elaborate fresco that depicts two dancing cherubs. A closer look reveals that the male figure’s feet are reversed, with his right foot on the left and his left foot on the right. Artist Giovanni John Smeraldi included a similar intentional mistake when he painted a Grand Central Station ceiling. It’s believed that the artist included these purposeful errors to symbolize that, while all human creations are flawed, only God can achieve perfection.

5 THE LITTLE THEATER HOSTED SOME BIG ACTS

2 FLAMINGOS ONCE FROLICKED IN THE FOUNTAINS

Topped by a glass roof and decorated with live plants and trees, La Taverne’s Garden Room opened in 1953 and featured a large fountain that, for a time, included a pair of resident flamingos. While most diners found them amusing, the flamingos were quickly relocated to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

Originally used for staging plays and musical performances—including by Igor Stravinsky, Vladimir Horowitz and Sergei Rachmaninoff—The Little Theater became a movie theater on July 4, 1948. Today, hotel guests can enjoy complimentary daily screenings.

6 SPENCER PENROSE LARGELY IGNORED PROHIBITION

liquor for the hotel. When Prohibition ended in 1933, he shipped an additional cache of liquor to the resort. Some of these bottles are memorialized in Bottle Alley, outside La Taverne restaurant. The oldest in the 1,000-bottle collection dates from 1801.

7 THERE WAS A SKI AREA ON CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN

Ski Broadmoor opened in 1959 on the slopes of Cheyenne Mountain. Ahead of its time, the facility included lights for night skiing and a $200,000 snowmaking machine known as the “Phenomenal Snowman,” the first of its kind west of the Mississippi River. A double chair lift carried 600 people an hour. The area closed permanently in 1991.

8 GUESTS COULD RIDE ON THE HIGHEST COG RAILWAY IN THE WORLD

The Broadmoor Pikes

Peak Cog Railway is the highest cog railway in the world and the highest railway in America. Zalmon Simmons built the railway in 1892, and sold it to Spencer Penrose in 1925.

9 THE STORY OF THE WONDER ROAD ENDS WITH A TWIST

Mr. Penrose constructed the 7-mile-long Cheyenne Mountain Highway, nicknamed the Wonder Road, in 1925 as a means to reach his Cheyenne Mountain Lodge, atop Cheyenne Mountain. The road cost more than $1 million to build, and rises more than 3,000 feet in elevation over slightly more than a square mile. It was featured in “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” as the most-crooked highway up the steepest mountain.

10 A BEAR STOLE THE SHOW DURING THE 2008 U.S. SENIOR OPEN

During televised coverage of the 2008 U.S. Senior Open, held at The Broadmoor, a black bear wandered onto the course during the second round of the tournament. The bear crossed the tee box on hole No. 14 soon after Mark McNulty hit his drive. Tom Watson’s backswing was interrupted by shouts of “Bear!” and an NBC commentator was seen running the opposite direction down the fairway.

A MODERN MAKEOVER

The Broadmoor’s Centennial heralds a new era of luxury, with updates to The Broadmoor Golf Club and Broadmoor Main.

BY MICHAEL COSTA

“NOT MANY BUSINESSES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY CELEBRATE a Centennial, or remain as relevant 100 years after their birth as The Broadmoor has,” says Jack Damioli, the resort’s president and CEO. Indeed, since 1918 The Broadmoor has expertly maintained its vision of balancing trends and tradition, enticing guests to return year after year and, in many cases, generation after generation. As the resort celebrates its 100th birthday this year, a makeover of Broadmoor Main and a refresh of the Golf Club effect a contemporary change to two of The Broadmoor’s cornerstones.

GOLF CLUB

Denver-based Johnson David Interiors has worked with The Broadmoor for more than 20 years, including helping to design these latest projects.

“We consider ourselves to be stewards of the historic nature of this property,” says David Fritz, principal at Johnson David Interiors. “When we enhance the interiors, we make sure we’re maintaining the charm and character of how this property was built 100 years ago, while bringing it a little more up to date, but always framing it within the luxury standards of The Broadmoor.”

THE GOLF CLUB

into the Golf Club, as the entryway has been upgraded with new stone flooring, area rugs, artwork, decorative lighting, refurbished wood beams in the ceiling and plush seating.

From there guests can walk through the Heritage Corridor, which features displays detailing The Broadmoor’s century of golf history.

UPPING THE GAME

The Broadmoor Golf Club, on the south end of The Broadmoor’s property, has received a major makeover to commemorate the resort’s Centennial and the game’s central role at the resort.

“Mr. Penrose understood the significance and importance of golf at The Broadmoor, and we still believe golf is a major piece of The Broadmoor story,” Damioli says. “So it was appropriate to have a fresh look for our 100th birthday, and timely since we’re hosting the 2018 U.S. Senior Open.”

That fresh look begins right when you walk

“We have a section going back to 1918, highlighting those who made the initial impact on golf here at The Broadmoor, as well as a tribute to Dow Finsterwald, who was our golf professional for 28 years, until 1991,” says Russ Miller, Director of Golf at The Broadmoor. “He won the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup, among other competitions. His display features a replica of his Ryder Cup trophy, his Ryder Cup golf bag and some of the clubs he used.”

Jack Nicklaus and Annika Sörenstam, who both won their first major championships at The Broadmoor, also have their own displays. Another section details all the USGA championships that have been contested at The Broadmoor, with trophies and facts about those events.

“We also have a display of vintage golf clubs from the early 1900s up to the 1960s, and a

tribute to the architects of The Broadmoor’s golf course—Donald Ross and Robert Trent Jones—with photos and some of their original drawings,” Miller says. “The entire corridor leading down to The Grille tells the story of golf at The Broadmoor. It’s definitely worth visiting, even if you’re not a golfer.”

THE GRILLE

The Grille, at the end of the Heritage Corridor, is a tastefully transformed restaurant and bar that features unobstructed mountain views from inside its dining room, as well as from an outdoor patio overlooking the East Course.

The décor highlights traditional golf aesthetics, with tartan plaid and The Broadmoor Golf Club’s colors of green and gold, with red accents. Brass finishes and light fixtures complement the look, as does the cherry millwork and green-felt upholstered walls adorned with golf-themed artwork and memorabilia.

The menu features upgraded versions of club classics, plus a few new favorites.

“We’ve created a menu that’s simple, but very high quality and well executed, that golfers and non-golfers will love,” says John Johnstone, the resort’s vice president of food and beverage. “Sticking with classics at The Grille aligns perfectly with the deep golf history and traditions of this great resort.”

THE GRILLE

The Broadmoor Golf Club sports a handsome new interior, as well as a new restaurant, The Grille, which overlooks the course and the mountains beyond.

GOLF HERITAGE HALLWAY

GOLF SHOP

CAFÉ JULIE’S

The former Cheyenne Gourmet, next to the new lobby fireplace, has been transformed into Café Julie’s, a casual Parisianinspired patisserie serving house-made baked goods, sandwiches, coffee, gelato, chocolates and other gourmet treats.

“Café Julie’s is named after Julie Penrose, Spencer Penrose’s wife, and it really personalizes it to The Broadmoor,” says Johnstone. “It adds history and a cultural component that’s unique to this resort, and a real sense of class.

“Café Julie’s decor also reflects a feminine touch,” he says. “We have black, gold, white and blush tones, and there’s a mural on the back wall which is a tribute to Mrs. Penrose and her contributions to The Broadmoor, as well as her significant contributions to the Colorado Springs community.”

While the name “Café Julie’s” has been used once before at The Broadmoor—in the space now occupied by Natural Epicurean in Broadmoor West—the modern Café Julie’s is an entirely different concept. The café is focused

on the highest-quality artisanal foods created daily in The Broadmoor’s kitchens, and a casual yet refined atmosphere from morning to evening.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Broadmoor Main’s reimagined front lobby retains the stately elegance of the original, with added amenities such as new fireplaces and ample seating areas.

Café Julie’s seats 30 and includes a community table for 12 people, where guests can plug in their devices while enjoying Lavazza coffee and other beverages or a bite to eat. At night, Café Julie’s serves wine and beer, including The Broadmoor’s own Prospector’s Pick beer.

“Over the years, each of the owners of The Broadmoor has put their own stamp on the resort, while maintaining the tradition for luxury and our reputation for excellence.”

—BROADMOOR PRESIDENT AND CEO JACK DAMIOLI

Main has, for decades, set a tone of understated luxury that flows through the rest of the property. Until now, however, it had remained relatively untouched since the hotel opened in 1918. The lobby has now been completely transformed into a spacious entry, with guest areas, a more open layout and fireplaces. The beautiful, Italian marble-tiled floor extends past the lobby and down the hallway that leads to Café Julie’s. Handsome wooden cases located throughout the lobby contain artifacts from The Broadmoor’s collection and help tell its story.

“There’s a clear sense of place and sense of arrival now when you enter Broadmoor Main,” Damioli says. “In addition to removing the walls around the former Espresso News, the walls around the marble staircase going up to the Mezzanine level have been eliminated as well, so the staircase has a floating effect to give the room more expansive sightlines.”

The newly refreshed lobby exudes the stately luxury and timeless grace for which the resort is known, while providing an updated space for guests to meet, mingle and enjoy. Seamlessly blending traditional and contemporary luxury is a theme that runs throughout all the latest building projects at The Broadmoor.

“Over the years, each of the owners of The Broadmoor has put their own stamp on the resort, while maintaining the tradition for luxury and our reputation for excellence,” says Damioli. “They have been excellent stewards in taking The Broadmoor to the next level.”

BUILDING ON TRADITION

The year was 1966. I was on my way to meet high school friends at The Broadmoor resort’s former drugstore and soda fountain, down the hall from the Main Hotel’s magnificent lobby. Rumor had it that our popular gathering spot stood over the site of a swimming pool built years ago by the hotel’s original owner, Spencer Penrose. We always wondered if it was still there.

But what struck me most was the lobby, with its gleaming marble floors and coffered ceiling panels, all framed by walls showcasing historic vignettes and classic European and Westernthemed paintings. A stunning marble staircase spiraled up to the Mezzanine above, and deep, rich wood panels enveloped the front desk. The scene was more than my teenage mind could comprehend, and it made an unforgettable impression.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

1918 - 2018

A MAN OF VISION

Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose had grand plans for his beloved Broadmoor resort and the Colorado Springs region—and he invested massive resources to achieve them. Projects he undertook include building the Pikes Peak Scenic Highway, Cheyenne Mountain Lodge and a road to reach the summit, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Pauline Chapel, and The Broadmoor Ice Palace and Broadmoor World Arena, among numerous other enhancements.

A lot has happened at The Broadmoor since then. My husband and I live nearby and, over the years, have witnessed the Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond resort’s thoughtful evolution firsthand.

It’s as if the owners who followed Spencer and Julie Penrose—El Pomar Foundation, followed by Oklahoma Publishing’s Gaylord family and Denver’s Anschutz family—were somehow able to ask the Penroses, “How would you like to preserve the rich legacy of your beloved ‘Grande Dame’ while also taking it to the next level?”

Since the resort’s purchase in 2011 by the Anschutz family, its current owners have continued to invest tremendous resources into renovating and expanding The Broadmoor’s offerings. Major improvement projects

include the 2014 reimagining of Broadmoor West, which added new entertainment venues and dining options, along with remodeled guest rooms. Additionally, The Broadmoor’s Wilderness Properties—The Ranch at Emerald Valley, Cloud Camp and Fly Fishing Camp—represent a new category of luxurious accommodations where guests can experience Colorado’s magnificent outdoors.

“The owners have shown such commitment and enthusiasm, not only in maintaining The Broadmoor’s legacy, but also in building for its future,” says Bob McGrath, The Broadmoor’s director of engineering.

As The Broadmoor celebrates its Centennial year, ambitious projects are again underway.

I got a behind-the scenes-tour this spring with McGrath as the project was nearing completion. Watching contractors peel away layers of plaster and panels, I imagined Julie Penrose herself selecting furnishings and upholstery, and supervising the installation of chandeliers and paintings.

“We found hand-painted European wallpaper hidden behind walls and millwork from 100 years ago,” McGrath says.

The marble staircase I admired as a youth is now suspended from the ceiling, providing more room for seating below. All the wonderful handpainted frescoes on the walls have been preserved. Rich paintings from the American West, detailed carvings and authentic materials complete the historically minded refresh.

By the way, there really is the foundation of an old swimming pool below. It held hidden treasures from The Broadmoor’s history.

IN PLACE

The Broadmoor’s chefs bring culinary heritage to the forefront through a flavorful blend of time, traditions and worldly influences.

BY AMANDA M. FAISON

GREEN THUMB Mark Musial, Chef de Cuisine at Ristorante del Lago and Play, checks on the produce grown at the resort’s greenhouse and gardens.

ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE BROADMOOR’S sprawling campus, nestled near the foothills, sits a greenhouse. In a planter along the back wall of the 2,000-square-foot space, leafy green culantro and lantern-like sweet Scotch Bonnet peppers wave lazily in the humid air. Several days a week, Broadmoor Chef Mario Viguie stops in to check on his small crop. “I think Mario would live up here if he could,” says David Patterson, The Broadmoor’s Executive Chef, during a tour of the facility.

In early 2017, Viguie contacted a Puerto Rican agriculturist about obtaining seeds for the peppers and culantro, a hard-to-find herb in the mainland United States that grows wild in Viguie’s native Puerto Rico. Once in hand, Viguie tapped the childhood gardening lessons he learned from his grandfather and got to work tending the soil and babying his plants. For Viguie, the peppers and long-leaf culantro are more than essential ingredients for soffrito, the vibrant green, garlicky paste he uses to marinate steaks, they are also a taste of home. “That purée is basically the mirepoix of every

Puerto Rican marinade, stew and pork dish,” Viguie says. Executive Chef David Patterson, who oversees all the dining operations at the resort, calls Viguie’s nod to home something else. “I call it heritage and experiential knowledge,” he says.

Look closely at most of The Broadmoor restaurants’ menus and you’ll see—and better yet, taste— subtle odes to a chef’s culinary background. At Restaurant 1858, for example, the menu has a decidedly Western focus with dishes such as Wild Boar Green Chile and Rocky Mountain Trout cooked in castiron pans. When Viguie came aboard in 2016, he dug deep to build on the concept. “I wanted to bring Puerto Rican cuisine in, but that didn’t really fit. So I went the other direction when, back in the day, Colorado belonged to Mexico,” Viguie says. “Mexico and Puerto Rico share a lot of the same flavors and ingredients, so I combined those flavors with my Latin-Spanish culture to bring added depth to dishes.” Order off the menu at 1858 today and you’ll find that Viguie’s soffrito flavors the rice and beans and plays a primary role in the Churrasco Steak, a traditional recipe of marinated flank steak and chimichurri, served here with loaded potato wedges, queso, pico de gallo and pickled jalapeños.

HOMEGROWN The Broadmoor’s chefs, including Penrose Room Chef de Cuisine Max Robbins (in foreground top left), incorporate ingredients grown on-property into their seasonal dishes.

“There’s this newfound reverence for American regional cooking—and it’s a huge factor in what we’re doing at The Broadmoor,” says Patterson, who grew up in Kentucky. “A lot of us who wanted to be great culinarians felt obligated to leave home to go do it. We went to New York, to San Francisco and to Europe. Now those chefs are getting back to their roots and embracing the stuff they grew up with.”

At Summit, The Broadmoor’s high-end contemporary regional American restaurant, Chef de Cuisine Luis Young embraces foods from all of the Americas—North America, South America, Latin America—mixed with a healthy sprinkling of global inspiration. Young, originally from Panama, spent time interning at molecular gastronomy–powerhouse Alinea in Chicago and cooking at avantgarde El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, and the legendary French Laundry in California’s Napa Valley. It’s only recently, he says, that he’s found his own style, and it’s on full view at Summit. “It’s based on my own experiences and whatever flows into it,” Young says.

For a taste of what that looks like, order the grilled Spanish octopus with fingerling potatoes, chorizo and what’s labeled as cilantro chimichurri on the menu. Young says it’s actually aji pique, a Panamanian and Colombian sauce, which is similar in style to chimichurri but made with habaneros. Young considers the dish a perfect representation of his cooking: The aji pique’s tangy and sharp Latin notes play well against the iconic Spanish trifecta of octopus, potatoes and chorizo.

But Young’s influences are multifaceted, and when he came aboard at Summit he wanted to create a menu item that would be an instant hit. For his canvas he chose sole a la meunière, a traditional French fish dish bathed in a lemony brown butter sauce. When you rework a classic, however, there’s the inherent challenge of managing expectations. “Everyone has an opinion on how it should taste,” Young says. “So how do we give them something

that’s recognizable but still new?” The final version, which has quickly become one of Summit’s top sellers, pays homage to the prized original but with more finesse and depth thanks to a pinwheel presentation and a thin layer of decadent lobster and shrimp mousse.

“I tell my chefs that 80 percent of the menu should be solid, very well understood and approachable,” says John Johnstone, The Broadmoor’s vice president of food and beverage and a certified master chef. “The other 20 percent is your sandbox, and 20 percent of your guests will play with you. I’m sensitive to those guests who are coming to eat and the 20 percent of guests who come to dine. There’s a difference.”

And this gets to the heart of The Broadmoor’s many offerings. With multiple restaurants on property, as well as additional cafés and lounges, there are dishes on every menu for every degree of guest. At Penrose Room, the only Forbes Five Star, AAA Five Diamond restaurant in the state of Colorado, Chef de Cuisine Max Robbins helms the kitchen. After spending seven years working for Thomas Keller, who is arguably the most influential of American chefs, at Per Se in New York and then the French Laundry in Napa, Robbins is steeped in the tradition of French cooking. Robbins loves the regimented structure of the cuisine but, he says, “you can still play along the lines. I think that’s the beauty of cooking; everything is so personal.”

MARIO’S SOFFRITO

(MAKES 2 CUPS)

Don’t be put off by the amount of garlic in this marinade; the flavor will mellow with grilling. Culantro may be difficult to find, but cilantro, an herb with similar characteristics, is a suitable substitution.

1 CU P GARLIC (ABOUT 2 HEADS)

1 BUNCH CULANTRO

6 SPRINGS OF OREGANO, PICKED

3 LIMES, JUICED

1 CUP VEGETABLE OIL

Outside the French genre, Robbins cites California cuisine—and the task of taking a comfort food and refining it—as his biggest culinary influences. Both threads come through in dishes such as the roasted cabbage appetizer. Robbins dresses up the humble vegetable with the rich orange flesh of persimmons, toasted walnuts and marinated beets. The finishing touch comes from a golden drizzle of honey made by The Broadmoor’s bees.

The bees, all of which have been collected from wild swarms, are housed at a nearby ranch and are capable of producing 500 pounds of honey a year. It feels only fitting that, at this verdant nexus of growth and creativity, the bees are busy making an elixir that is nothing if not the product of time and place.

Blend all ingredients in food processor. Refrigerate until ready for use on steak, chicken or pork.

SWEET TREATS

Broadmoor chefs create a daily array of tempting confections in a new state-of-the-art chocolate kitchen.

BY MICHAEL COSTA

STAYING AT THE BROADMOOR recently became an even sweeter experience with the addition of a state-ofthe-art chocolate kitchen, where chefs prepare delectable creations daily using a private-label blend of the world’s finest chocolates.

Located inside Café Julie’s, The Broadmoor’s new Parisian-inspired patisserie, guests can watch the confections be made right in front of their eyes through the kitchen’s viewing window. Chocolatiers working in the temperature- and humidity-controlled kitchen produce 18 varieties of tempting treats each day, which are then displayed for sale in the store and served throughout The Broadmoor’s restaurants and cafés.

“We want people to see the integrity behind our chocolate production,” says Adam Thomas, The Broadmoor’s Executive Pastry Chef. “Our new kitchen gives us a chance to educate our guests about the chocolate-making process, and our artisanal approach ensures fresh chocolate daily.”

The Broadmoor uses a proprietary chocolate blend made exclusively for the resort by premium chocolate manufacturer Valrhona. It’s a partnership that’s been more than a year in the making, with nine different trial recipes used to find the perfect blend.

“We gave Valrhona a clear outline of how we wanted the chocolate to taste, and how it had to be versatile enough to use as the base chocolate in our desserts,” Thomas says. “We ended up with a 66 percent dark chocolate blend that uses beans sourced from Madagascar, the Dominican Republic and Ghana.”

Guests may also take a sampling of chocolates home with them in attractive gift boxes featuring Café Julie’s logo. “Our custom chocolate boxes are like jewelry boxes—they slide out instead of opening from the top,” Thomas says. “Inside each box are notes with the Cafe Julie’s story, and details about our Valrhona private chocolate blend.”

HANDCRAFTED

Broadmoor pastry chefs create a variety of fine chocolates, cakes, spreads and more using a private-label blend of Valrhona chocolate.

BROADMOOR CHOCOLATES

CHOCOLATES AND desserts made using The Broadmoor’s exclusive blend of Valrhona chocolate may be enjoyed in restaurants throughout the resort. Chocolates are also available for sale in Café Julie’s, where guests can also watch them being made, as well as in Natural Epicurean.

COOKING CLUB

In 1912, Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose, along with friend Chester Alan Arthur II, son of President Chester A. Arthur, decided to start a men’s Cooking Club in Colorado Springs. In 1917, as The Broadmoor hotel was taking shape, Penrose built a clubhouse at the base of Cheyenne Mountain, where Cooking Club dinners have been hosted ever since. While the menu varies, two of the official Cooking Club meals—Spencer Penrose Day in January and Club Day in July—feature the same menu each year. Penrose endowed the annual celebrations in the 1930s so that the club could carry on the tradition.

The bees also change with the seasons and for special events, including a Halloweenthemed bee with a glow-in-the-dark moon, a bee for the 2008 U.S. Senior Open, and even a rocket-shipriding bee in honor of the National Space Symposium, held at The Broadmoor annually since 1984.

Are you up for maximum adventure, or do you prefer to start slowly? From all-ages outings to heartpounding adventures, Broadmoor Outfitters, the resort’s on-site partners in outdoor activities, offers guided excursions tailored for every interest and ability level.

ZIP THROUGH THE AIR

Designed to pair premium thrills with maximum safety and absolute fun, The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure, one of the top five zip line courses in the world, offers a thrilling experience as guests soar high above rocky outcroppings and forested canyons on zip lines ranging in distance from 240 to 1,800 feet, with some moderate hiking. Tours include up to eight participants with two professional guides.

The Woods course features five zip lines, while The Fins course also has five zip lines and includes two 200-foot suspension-bridge crossings and a thrilling 180-foot controlled rappel at the end. Try the combined fourhour adventure for the ultimate Soaring experience. No prior experience is required and each trip begins with a 15-minute ground

school to go over equipment and safety procedures. Participants must weigh at least 90 pounds and no more than 250 pounds.

TAKE A HIKE

While the views at Garden of the Gods are breathtaking, the gentle hikes at this National Natural Landmark afford an outdoor adventure for the whole family. Explore the red sandstone towers with a professional guide, who will share historical details about the formation of these towers, its wildlife and other facts about the region.

For a more challenging hike, tackle one of Colorado’s famous 14ers—mountains that exceed 14,000 feet in elevation. For those willing to push their limits, Broadmoor Outfitters can tailor a trek to any local summit with advance reservations.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

The Broadmoor’s falconry program offers an up-close-and-personal experience with birds of prey through small-group encounters with these regal animals. Our resident expert, Deanna Curtis, discusses what to expect.

HOW SHOULD PEOPLE PREPARE? ARE KIDS ALLOWED?

Yes! Kids older than 5 can participate, and actually I think kids get so much out of it. We’ll spend time outside learning about falconry and seeing how the birds track prey. It’s thrilling to have them fly so close and see these birds in action.

HOW MANY BIRDS ARE LIVING AT THE BROADMOOR?

Broadmoor Outfitters keeps eight birds right now: five Harris hawks, two saker falcons and a Eurasian eagle-owl.

HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH FALCONRY?

A volunteer brought a bird to my sons’ Cub Scout troop, and I was hooked. There was something about the connection to a wild animal that really captivated me. I started volunteering with the organization, and eventually this became my life’s work.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE PEOPLE TAKE FROM THE EXPERIENCE?

Ultimately I hope it strengthens their connection with nature. We provide hands-on learning in a fantastic setting.

BLAZE A DIGITAL TRAIL

Set out on a treasure hunt fit for the whole family with The Broadmoor Hunt, a geocaching adventure that’s fun for everyone. For the uninitiated, geocaching at The Broadmoor relies on a GPS-based app for your phone, which guides your team along a trail to an unknown destination. Using GPS and the phone’s camera, The Broadmoor Hunt incorporates historical tidbits among the clues throughout the property. It’s an activity where even the youngest kids can lead the way and the whole family will delight in discovering these secret stashes.

CAST A LINE

Try the “Tie a Fly/Catch a Fish” class at Fish House, lakeside near the East golf course, for a quick intro to the sport or, for a deeper immersion, opt for The Broadmoor Fly Fishing School. All equipment is provided.

CRUISE DIRT-PACKED TRAILS ON A MOUNTAIN BIKE

For a breathtaking Colorado experience, book a guided mountain bike ride through spectacular alpine terrain. Our experienced pros will take you on a gradual downhill slope on historic Gold Camp Road. After the downhill section of the ride, bikers are transported to the Garden of the Gods to explore the trails among the massive rock formations of this natural wonder. These tours are per-

fect for a variety of abilities, but for a more intense tour, book a private trip (for up to 10 people) tailored to your group’s comfort level.

SCALE A ROCK WALL

The Garden of the Gods, one of the region’s premier rock-climbing locations, is your playground to learn the exciting sport of rock climbing. Your guide will show you the ropes, so to speak, and how to safely ascend one of several routes of varying difficulty levels. Enjoy the view from the top before a thrilling rappel back down to the bottom. The granite cliffs in Cheyenne Canyon also offer numerous routes for all ability levels.

ENJOY A CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH BIRDS OF PREY

The Broadmoor Falconry Program is truly a life-changing experience for any wildlife fan. Our expert team shares the thrill of observing these majestic birds of prey in a stunning mountain landscape. Meet Chase, The Broadmoor’s saker falcon, and discover his methods for hunting food and respecting territorial regions. See firsthand about the habits of falcons and owls, and even work with our trained hawk, Spencer, who will fly to your gloved hand for a small reward. Photography is encouraged in this gorgeous landscape near Cheyenne Lodge. Children must be 5 years and older to participate.

EXPLORE SEVEN FALLS

Don’t miss this stunning natural beauty, located less than a mile from The Broadmoor. Nicknamed “The Grandest Mile of Scenery in Colorado,” the cascading seven-tiered waterfall is simply magnificent. Walk the 224 steps to the top of the falls to access shaded hiking trails along a meandering stream. Shuttle transportation or a short walk from The Broadmoor delivers you to the canyon. Relax with a bite or a beverage at Restaurant 1858, the Colorado Gold Rush–themed restaurant at the base of the falls. For a more extreme fitness adventure, tackle the Seven Falls Challenge. You don’t have to be an Olympics-worthy athlete to accept the challenge but—for the groups of two to 12 people who do undertake this adventure—it will test your endurance and resolve.

A certified fitness trainer accompanies groups throughout the challenge, which begins with a 1.5-mile bike ride from the resort to Seven Falls. Participants then set out on a 2-mile trail run to the top of the falls and through the canyon. Intermittent body weight exercises along the way up the ante. At the base of Seven Falls once more, participants then remount their bikes and cycle back to the hotel via dirt-packed trails. In all the challenge encompasses 10 miles of scenery and 700 feet in elevation gain.

TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISES

While Broadmoor Outfitters offers unique experiences for individual guests, the resort also offers nearly 20 group teambuilding competitions with playful names like Sticky Situation, Treacherous Transfer, Summertime Snowman, Tiny Bike Race and Air Cannon Bowling. Each activity is designed to promote problemsolving and camaraderie, such as:

DOMESTIC DEMOLITION

Groups are given materials to build a miniature “house,” and then the structural integrity of the dwellings are tested as the homes come under a 360-degree barrage of air cannons firing beanbags. The last home standing wins.

BLINDFOLDED TENT BUILDING

This experience, customized for small groups of 12 to 24 people, includes three rounds of golf for each person on the package (one with Irwin), as well as three nights at The Broadmoor. The first day begins with a practice round on the East Course, followed by a group dinner at the Fish House. The second day includes a round on the West Course and a private clinic from The Broadmoor’s in-house teaching staff. Day three concludes with a round of golf with Irwin, who will play an equal number of holes with each foursome during the round. End your day with dinner at Restaurant 1858.

TEEING UP A GOLF LEGACY

A course in The Broadmoor’s legendary golf heritage.

BY JON RIZZI

WHEN THE BROADMOOR FIRST OPENED ITS DOORS TO GUESTS IN 1918, its star amenity—a Donald Ross–designed 18-hole golf course—was somewhat of a novelty, especially for a mountain resort. But guests flocked to play the course and, as the game gained popularity in the United States, The Broadmoor further established itself as one of the country’s top golf destinations. »

1916 Planning his grand hotel, Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose commissions Donald Ross, one of the country’s preeminent course architects, to design what would be the highest golf course in the United States at 6,400 feet above sea level.

1918 After two years of planning and building, the Ross-designed golf course debuts with a July 4 fundraising match between the teams of “Long Jim” Barnes and Chick Evans against Jock Hutchison and Warren Wood—the first three of whom are now in the World Golf Hall of Fame. Barnes—who won the initial two PGA Championships, the 1921 U.S. Open and the 1925 British Open—served as The Broadmoor’s first golf professional.

1919 Scottish pro James Gullane succeeds Barnes as The Broadmoor’s head golf professional.

1921 J.H. Potter of Colorado Springs wins the inaugural Broadmoor Men’s Invitation Golf Tournament. The tournament would go on to draw many of the top amateur players in the country, with winners including future PGA Tour champions Lawson Little, Hale Irwin, Tom Purtzer, Grier Jones, Duffy Waldorf, Bob Dickson, John Fought and Willie Wood.

1926 Spencer Penrose founds the Cheyenne Mountain Zoological Society and enlists Tessie the Elephant as his caddie during a promotional event.

1927 Johnny Goodman, who six years later became the last amateur to win the U.S. Open, wins the first of seven TransMississippi Championships (1930, 1933, 1939, 1949, 1964 and 1996) held at The Broadmoor.

1930 Scotsman Jimmy ”Big Blaster” Thomson, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, becomes The Broadmoor’s head golf professional.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 100 YEARS

1918 - 2018 LAYING THE GROUNDWORK

Scottish-born Donald Ross designed many of the country’s top-rated courses— including Pinehurst No. 2, the Aronimink Golf Club and the Inverness Club. When Ross surveyed The Broadmoor property, he was delighted by the prospect of creating a mountain course but felt he did not have enough room to lay out the course in what he considered to be the optimum orientation. Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose did not hesitate to purchase 80 additional acres so that Ross could transform the dry, rolling land into a golfer’s paradise. When it opened, the course at The Broadmoor was the highest course in elevation in the country, and Ross deemed it his “best work.”

DONALD ROSS

1935 Charlie Yates of Georgia, the 1938 British Amateur champion, wins the first of two Western Amateur Championships contested at The Broadmoor. The second comes in 1941.

1938 Golfers finally get a reference point while on the tricky Donald Ross greens, as the Will Rogers Shrine is dedicated on the side of Cheyenne Mountain. Virtually all putts on the course break away from the shrine.

1948 Robert Trent Jones Sr. is hired to design an additional nine-hole course.

1941

Ed Dudley, a three-time Ryder Cup player, 15time PGA Tour winner and the head professional at Augusta National Golf Club, becomes The Broadmoor’s head golf professional for the next 22 years.

1942 On August 15, more than 4,000 spectators watch Bob Hope and Bing Crosby play an exhibition with Ed Dudley and Lawson Little to raise money for war bonds. With Crosby’s recordings broadcast from the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, the Hope-Little team finishes all square with Crosby-Dudley, raising thousands of dollars in the process.

1952 Jones’ new ninehole course joins with nine original Ross holes to form the new East Course. Nine remaining Ross holes become the “Back Nine.”

1953 Stanford University wins the first of five NCAA Championships contested at The Broadmoor. The subsequent ones take place in 1957, 1960, 1964 and 1969.

1959 Ohio State University’s Jack Nicklaus, who would become the greatest golfer of the 20th century, defeats Charlie Coe, 1 up, to win the U.S. Amateur championship.

1945

“Babe” Didrikson Zaharias wins the first of three consecutive titles in The Broadmoor Women’s Invitational.

1962 Behind Barbara McIntire, Tish Preuss and Judy Bell, Team USA defeats Great Britain and Ireland 8-1 in the Curtis Cup.

1967 Bob Dickson wins the U.S. Amateur by one stroke over Vinny Giles, becoming the first player since 1935 to capture both the British and the United States Amateur Championships in the same year.

1982 Juli Inkster takes her third consecutive U.S. Women’s Amateur by defeating Cathy Hanlon 4 and 3 in the final 36-hole match.

1995

Annika Sörenstam wins the first of her 10 majors by shooting a two-under-par 278 on the East Course to win the 50th U.S. Women’s Open by a shot over Meg Mallon.

1998 In the semiannual PGA Cup Matches, the U.S. team defeats the Great Britain and Ireland squad 17-9.

2005 The East Golf Course returns to the original 1918 bunker design of legendary course designer Donald Ross.

2008 Argentine Eduardo Romero shoots 67-69-65-73 on the East Course during the U.S. Senior Open, en route to a fourshot triumph over Fred Funk, carding a six-under-par 274.

CALLAWAY BREAKS OUT

Callaway Golf CEO Chip Brewer on the new Jailbreak technology and upping the “wow” factor.

BY JON RIZZI

PHILADELPHIA NATIVE CHIP BREWER IS FLYING HIGH— and not just because his Eagles won their first Super Bowl in February. Brewer is CEO of Carlsbad, California–based Callaway Golf, and two weeks before the big game, his company’s new Rogue drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons earned unanimous acclaim at Orlando’s annual PGA Merchandise Show, known as “the major of the golf industry.”

Such adulation should come as no surprise. The Rogue driver improves on the revolutionary “Jailbreak” energy-transfer technology (so named for the parallel titanium bars connecting the crown and sole behind the ultra-thin clubface) that made last year’s Callaway Epics the world’s best-selling line of clubs and propelled the company to global dominance in every category.

“They have the best product on the market, as well as the best service,” says Russ Miller, the PGA Director of Golf at The Broadmoor, which sells and rents Callaway clubs and balls exclusively in its golf shop. “We have high expectations for such a partnership, and Callaway has exceeded them all.”

But it wasn’t always so. Six years ago Callaway—which had revolutionized golf in the 1990s with its oversized and shot-straightening titanium Big Bertha drivers—found itself in the rough. By the time Brewer arrived in 2012, he says, the iconic brand had “become a little distracted. It wasn’t leading in the equipment space.”

A Harvard MBA who spent 10 successful years at Adams Golf, Brewer immediately made his presence felt at Callaway, shocking the research and development team by rejecting the first prototype clubs he saw.

He pressed the team to step up its game in much the same way as company founder Ely Callaway might have done. “He was a

heck of a maverick, visionary and bold,” Brewer says, describing the man who died in 2001 at age 82. “We need to be bold, not just making little tweaks that look good in the lab. We want to impress consumers. They have to hit it and go, ‘Wow.’ ”

The R&D team responded by producing the extremely popular X-Hot line of drivers, irons and fairway metals, which featured “cup-face” technology to increase ball speed—the velocity at which the ball jumps off the club—and distance.

The hits have kept coming: The revitalized Great Big Bertha, the Apex and XR irons, the Mack Daddy wedges, the Odyssey Versa and the Toulon putters, the Epics and Rogues. They all annually fill Golf Digest’s “Hot List” and the bags of professional, amateur and weekend players.

Brewer credits much of the company’s success to the more than $30 million it annually spends on R&D. “We do not launch a product unless it is right,” he says.

Brewer has also developed a team to do advanced research with a number of composite-metal developers and casters, as well as collaborate with The Boeing Company on aerodynamics.

Callaway has developed every club since the XR-16 in concert with Boeing. “The whole Jailbreak concept resulted from that relationship,” Brewer says.

Callaway has also leveraged its relationship with five-time major champion Phil Mickelson. “He’s been incredibly instrumental in all areas, particularly in developing our wedges and the Chrome Soft balls,” Brewer says.

In addition to other major champions, such as Sergio Garcia, Danny Willett, Jim Furyk, Henrik Stenson, Tom Watson, Michelle Wie and Yani Tseng, Callaway is “running the table on the young-gun talent,” Brewer says, referring to rising stars Thomas Pieters, Xander Schauffele, Alexander Noren, Daniel Berger, Kevin Kisner, Si Woo Kim, Curtis Luck, Emma Talley, Morgan Pressel, Mariah Stackhouse and dozens more.

“Some of the best golfers in the world play our clubs, and the average golfer also finds comfort in playing them,” Brewer says. “But we’re not trying to be all things to all people. We’re a premium brand that believes in innovation and technol ogy—and in giving consumers that ‘wow’ factor.”

CANCER IMPACTS EVERY FAMILY

But when it comes to The Broadmoor family, fighting the disease looks a little different: Think fabulous food, fun and friendly competition.

The Broadmoor’s Rally for the Cure, celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2018, is an annual opportunity for the tennis-playing community to break out its tennis “pinks.” This year’s event is sponsored by The Broadmoor Jewelry Co. and Roberto Coin, with proceeds benefiting the Susan G. Komen foundation.

“This is one of those events that truly brings people together for a cause, regardless of age, gender, race or athletic ability. Everyone wears pink well,” said Karen Brandner, Director of Tennis at The Broadmoor.

Offering a full weekend of activities, The Broadmoor’s Rally for the Cure is the nation’s largest tennis-related Susan G. Komen Rally. More than 100 players will compete in a variety of tennis and pickleball events, ranging from singles play to pickleball and a Pro-Am event. Tickets also include cocktail receptions, a Friday luncheon with featured speakers, Saturday night seated dinner and auction, and Sunday brunch on the courts. With a range of competitive events, stakes are high in 2018 as female winners in every category will receive a Robert Coin tennis necklace valued at nearly $1,000.

The last Rally (2016) was particularly inspirational for emcee Christine Chang Gillette, a lifelong tennis player who met

The couple have several friends who are breast cancer survivors. “It truly was a sea of pink on and off the courts that weekend,” Gillette says. “Even if you didn’t play tennis, and you just happened to walk by the courts, you could feel the energy. There’s something for everyone, from court time to social gatherings.”

Participants also have an opportunity to bid on playing time with top tennis pros in the following day’s Pro-Am competition. Pro-Am winners will also receive tickets to view the 2019 BNP Paribas tennis tournament from the FILA suite.

For an event that began with only 48 women players, The Broadmoor is proud of its Rally for the Cure legacy.

“Your contribution directly supports Susan G. Komen,” Brandner says. “And 75 percent of your contributions will stay right here in southern Colorado.”

STAY AWAY FROM CARBS AND SUGAR. Work out at least three times per week. Try this new diet.

When it comes to healthy living, the list goes on. Just ask Nadia Hrovat, a personal trainer for more than 20 years.

“With so much information out there, right at your fingertips, it can be tough to sort out what’s the most helpful for you,” Hrovat says.

Two years ago, Hrovat came across The Broadmoor’s Women’s Weekend of Wellness program.

The health-and-wellness professional also recently became a licensed real estate agent. Juggling two careers, she knows the importance of finding time for herself. Making sure she’s refueled and recharged are top priorities, not just for her well-being but also for best helping her family and clients.

“People trust me with their greatest assets—their health and their home,” she says. Admittedly, The Broadmoor was an easy sell.

“It’s a no-brainer in the sense of the value that you’re getting, with the discounts on spas and other amenities,” she says.

But what Hrovat didn’t anticipate was

BODY, MIND AND SOUL

the personal growth, goal alignment and inspiration she gained from the rejuvenating three-night retreat.

“By being at this event, it forces you to stop and figure out if you’re doing things for the right reasons,” Hrovat says. Events are designed to align body, mind and soul, as well as to gently push participants out of their comfort zones.

The Wellness Weekend supports those goals with memorable speakers and educational workshops, along with activities such as zip lining, yoga sessions and cooking classes.

The program is also designed to connect women with common interests. Since Hrovat attended the event solo, not knowing anyone, she loved meeting all the amazing, positive women at the retreat. Being surrounded with so much energy and support, Hrovat says, she walked away feeling like a new person.

“There’s a woman I became good friends with from the Women’s Weekend of Wellness back in 2016. I still talk with her every week,” Hrovat says. “That’s something I did not expect. I made some friendships that I hope will last a lifetime.”

TOUCHPOINTS

As the industry evolves, The Spa at The Broadmoor continually upgrades its services and amenities with one ideal in mind: best serving our guests.

BY CASSIE HERNANDEZ Director of The Spa at The Broadmoor

OVER THE PAST 22 YEARS, I HAVE been blessed to be a part of this dynamic industry called “spa,” and I have seen some wonderful shifts in why and how we do what we do. The spa industry has changed everything over a span of two decades. From its concept to its clientele to its layout, to its décor and now even its name, as formally we are known as the “health-and-wellness industry.”

Twenty years ago, as the spa industry was just beginning to blossom, hotel and resort spas were few and far between, and destination spas were seen as luxurious getaways for the lucky few. Our purpose used to be simple: Come in, change into a robe, get a massage or a facial and go home. When it came to treatments back then, the basic European facial and Swedish massage ruled. A handful of product lines were used at the majority of spas. Skin care was simpler then, too, in those pre-microdermabrasion and prehyaluronic peptide days.

Times have certainly changed, and the evolution of the spa experience is truly remarkable. Today, spa guests want more

than sloughing off dead skin or soothing aching muscles from a cookie-cutter spa that smells of eucalyptus-lavender scented bliss. Our modern spa-goer is looking for experiences that deliver and treatments that show results for mind, body and soul. While one may go to a spa to be pampered, one also wants to walk out feeling transformed, be that more vibrant and energetic, or more relaxed and nourished.

At The Spa at The Broadmoor, we take our responsibilities as nurturers quite seriously and continually reevaluate our services, techniques, amenities and product lines in order to best meet the needs of our guests.

The Spa first achieved its coveted Forbes Travel Guide Five Star designation in 2010, following an extensive remodel project and an expanded menu of services, and we have maintained that spa-world

status symbol ever since. The two-level, 43,000-square-foot lakeside spa and fitness center now features 36 treatment rooms, a sun-splashed coed relaxation room with picture windows overlooking the golf course and Cheyenne Mountain, as well as separate men’s and women’s lounges with gas fireplaces, zero-gravity relaxation chairs and other luxurious amenities. Before or after treatments, you can energize in our Oxygen Room, which increases oxygen cells in the bloodstream and helps offset the effects of Colorado Springs’ altitude.

The addition of Ashiatsu massage, as well as continual upgrades to our hydrotherapies and skin-care treatments, further enhance our offerings. We also have seen an increase in our male spa guests, and have responded with treatments tailored specifically for men’s needs. Likewise, our Women’s Weekend of Wellness, an inspiring three-day seminar, has become a favorite retreat for many women.

The options are vast and, even more so, they are effective. We look forward to welcoming you to The Spa at The Broadmoor.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

1918 - 2018

THE BROADMOOR BATHS

The Broadmoor’s “thermo hydrotherapeutic department,” an early version of what is now known as The Spa at The Broadmoor, was a highlight when the resort first opened in 1918. The facility was very advanced for its day and boasted two separate but equally appointed areas, making The Broadmoor one of the first resorts in the country with dedicated facilities for both men and women. Guests were advised to dress in their rooms and to take the service elevator directly to the baths. Services included a Turkish bath steam room with shampoo and shower ($1.50, or roughly $24 today), an electric light bath and shower ($1.50), Broadmoor tonic bath ($1.50), a half-hour massage ($1), and an oil or alcohol rub and salt glow (50 cents).

INTRODUCING A NEW NATURALLY EFFECTIVE SKINCARE LINE

The Spa at The Broadmoor is pleased to offer EmerginC Rawceuticals as its premier skin-care line. Rawceuticals a range of advanced skin care that blends a wide variety of pure, active, coldpressed plant extracts with naturally derived cosmeceutical ingredients for unparalleled results. Each product is crafted in small batches to ensure freshness and effectiveness.

Its Clean cleanser, for example, pairs natural hemp- and sunflower-seed oils with a PhytoVie Defense urban shield copolymer to effectively deep-clean skin, while also helping to restore its natural balance and protect against aggressive environmental damage.

Likewise, Blend is a rich, nourishing moisturizer crafted with black cumin, hemp, chia and tomato seed extracts, as well as kakadu plum and virgin coconut to help even skin tone and texture, as well as fight against the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

We invite you to experience the Rawceuticals difference.

NATURAL ATTRACTION

THE

ALLURE

OF COLORADO’S WILDERNESS SPEAKS TO

people in different ways. How will you choose to answer? Maybe you’d like to settle into a luxurious ranch with friends and family, with days spent exploring the surrounding mountains and nights fireside under a star-filled sky. Or perhaps you’d rather ensconce yourself in a supremely private mountaintop enclave, with a satisfying balance of activity and relaxation at your fingertips? Or it could be that landing arm-length trout in a pristine mountain river is more your speed. Whichever way your wild side leans, The Broadmoor offers an outdoor experience to satisfy.

In centuries past, people ventured into Colorado’s wilderness in search of gold and silver. Today’s adventure seekers, however, are after a different sort of treasure. It’s the elation that comes with exerting physical effort in a gorgeous mountain setting, and the balm-like calm that arises with time spent among the natural elements.

The outdoor lifestyle is a big reason why many people are drawn to Colorado, but as they soon discover, there’s a lot more to it than snapping Instagram-worthy selfies from a mountain peak. A great deal of planning and preparation are typically required when mounting an outdoor adventure.

Enter The Broadmoor Wilderness Experience. Beginning with the introduction of The Ranch at Emerald Valley in 2014, The Broadmoor has established a collection of three unique properties that capture the essence of several quintessential Colorado outdoor experiences in luxuriously elevated ways. And the best part about these all-inclusive properties? All you have to do is show up and enjoy.

Two of the properties, The Ranch at Emerald Valley and Cloud Camp, have historic ties to the resort. Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose built a grand adobe lodge atop

Cheyenne Mountain, the site of today’s Cloud Camp, for the same reason guests enjoy its location today—as an intimate, magical retreat to get away from it all while enjoying the stunning views and quality time with family and friends.

Penrose and several friends also built a private compound in a remote mountain valley, now known as The Ranch at Emerald Valley, where they enjoyed long walks, fishing and riding horses along mountain trails, as well as evenings filled with fine food, plentiful drink and lots of laughter. While the amenities and offerings have all been upgraded to exceed modern expectations, The Ranch’s appeal remains the same.

Fly Fishing Camp, the most recent addition to The Broadmoor Wilderness Experience, immerses guests in one of Colorado’s signature pastimes, in the company of an expert fishing guide and along a pristine stretch of private water.

The Broadmoor’s three Wilderness properties are distinct experiences unto themselves, and each offers an authentic Colorado adventure and a one-of-a-kind vacation seamlessly blended with The Broadmoor’s signature luxury and service.

Each camp is located in close proximity to The Broadmoor’s main campus, and many guests also enjoy moving among the properties for the ultimate Wilderness Experience. The only question is, where to begin? Turn the page to explore more. 

The Broadmoor’s Wilderness Experience properties offer allinclusive access to gorgeous scenery, natural serenity and exciting activities, all in a luxurious setting.

THE RANCH AT EMERALD VALLEY

This luxurious mountain retreat offers fun and relaxation, with plenty of quality time together.

LAY OF THE LAND

Nestled in a lush valley, The Ranch at Emerald Valley is hemmed on three sides by mountains and surrounded by the Pike National Forest. The Ranch also features stables, a main lodge, hot tubs and two ponds with fishing and canoeing.

Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose purchased the cabins where The Ranch sits in 1923 and originally named it Camp Vigil, after a nearby peak. He and his wife, Julie, and their friends enjoyed the property in much the same way as guests do today—as a secluded mountain retreat where they could enjoy the natural setting, as well as fine food and drink with their friends and family.

While there are plenty of fun outdoor activities to be had at The Ranch, there’s also an intimate, relaxing vibe that encourages rest and reflection. It’s this unique alchemy that attracts couples, families and small groups to partake in this special place.

ACTIVITIES

The Ranch at Emerald Valley is an all-inclusive experience, and guests may partake in as many activities as they wish. In addition to guided hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, archery, fishing and lawn games are also popular pastimes. A morning yoga session, a soak in one of the outdoor hot tubs, or simply relaxing in a hammock are also popular.

FOOD AND DRINK

Included with your breakfast are homemade cinnamon rolls, cowboy coffee, a variety of fresh fruits and cereals and other goodies. A buffet-style lunch includes a variety of options, and in the late afternoon, ranch hands offer baskets of freshly made doughnuts and other snacks.

Dinner is a three-course meal prepared using the same high-quality, locally sourced seasonal ingredients featured in all The Broadmoor’s restaurants. The menu changes daily, with sev-

While The Ranch at Emerald Valley feels a world removed, this picturesque setting is only a short drive from The Broadmoor. Guests and their belongings are chauffeured to The Ranch in Cadillac Escalades, which are also available to transport guests to and from The Broadmoor for rounds of golf, spa appointments and other activities.

ACCOMMODATIONS

There are 10 cabins situated on the property, with a maximum of 32 guests at any one time, making The Ranch an ideal destination for couples, wedding parties and group getaways. Each cabin is uniquely decorated with colorful Western artwork, hand-woven Mexican rugs, a gas fireplace and comfortable furnishings, as well as a spacious, modern bathroom. A large main lodge with an expansive front porch serves as the center of camp life.

eral options for appetizers and entrées, along with a selection of desserts. Think Wild Mushroom Bisque, Cedar Smoked Steelhead Salmon, grilled steaks and other delectable dishes.

FUN FACT

Heavyweight-boxing champion Jack Dempsey once stayed at The Ranch for a month to train for his title fight with Gene Tunney, a match now known as The Battle of the Long Count. Dempsey’s initials are supposedly carved somewhere near the summit of Mount Vigil.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

Guests may also choose to join in a real cattle drive during their stay at The Ranch for an additional fee. Designed for more experienced riders, the adventure includes riding through the Pike National Forest to Elk Glade, a neighboring working ranch, to round up cattle and bring them home.

FESTIVITIES WITH A VIEW

Overlook, Cloud Camp’s exclusive 1,500-square-foot event space, can host as many as 70 people for family reunions, weddings and other special events.

CLOUD CAMP

LAY OF THE LAND

This intimate mountaintop camp sits at 9,200 feet at the summit of Cheyenne Mountain. With its cloistered environment and top-ofthe-world views, Cloud Camp is well-suited for couples, families with older children and small groups.

In fact, Spencer Penrose originally built Cheyenne Mountain Lodge at the summit as a retreat for honeymooners to enjoy quiet time alone and to experience what he considered to be the most beautiful sunrise in the world.

Today, Cloud Camp’s main lodge sits on the same foundation as Penrose’s original building. Built in the iconic style of America’s National Park architecture, the newly built lodge features a bar area and great room anchored by large stone fireplaces at each end. Ample windows and a large wraparound porch provide stunning views in all directions, including of Pikes Peak, Colo-

rado Springs and the plains beyond. Looking down as a gathering sea of clouds roll in and blanket the land below, it’s easy to believe that you’re all alone in this Shangri-La at the top of the world.

GETTING THERE

There are three options to access Cloud Camp, each with its own appeal: Guests may choose a chauffeured ride in a Cadillac Escalade to the camp, or navigate dirt-packed Cheyenne Mountain Road and its 17 switchbacks atop one of the camp’s sure-footed mules. Alternatively, a vigorous 3.5-mile hike to the camp helps make that evening’s meal taste even more satisfying.

ACCOMMODATIONS

A dozen comfortably appointed one- and two-bedroom guest cabins are nestled into the forested summit, with a pair of outdoor hot tubs located nearby. Additionally, the

main lodge offers seven guest rooms, including a honeymoon suite with a copper soaking tub and a private porch. The lofty Fire Tower Suite, built from a decommissioned watchtower and located on a rock promontory high above the camp, offers the ultimate in privacy with sleeping quarters on its first floor, and a wraparound deck and a study on a second level that affords 360-degree views.

ACTIVITIES

Guided hikes, mule rides, archery, pickleball and other activities are offered daily, with sunrise yoga sessions, arts and crafts, lawn games, and more also on offer. Each afternoon, guests may join a chef in Cloud Camp’s kitchen for the legendary Cooking Club, picking up tips and sipping a glass of wine as they help prepare a dish for that evening’s meal. A nighttime dip in a hot tub or roasting s’mores around the fire pit are favorite evening activities, or just settling into a favorite rocker to watch the world go by.

FOOD AND DRINK

The daily breakfast buffet includes a range of options, from fresh-squeezed juices and lighter fare to heartier dishes. Many guests dine on the expansive porch to enjoy the morning view. A buffet lunch may also be taken outside.

The evening meal is a highlight of a day at Cloud Camp. Guests meet and mingle for cocktail hour before finding a seat at a long communal table. The menu, served in four courses with a variety of options for each course, is patterned after the classic cooking of the 1920s and ’30s, when Spencer Penrose was running his Cheyenne Lodge, albeit often with a contemporary twist.

A small bowl of wild mushroom bisque or spicy gumbo might start the meal, followed by Rocky Mountain trout or a roast of Colorado lamb. A small salad helps aid digestion, before a surprise share platter is presented to the table, followed by an array of desserts; all accompanied by a selection of house wines.

ELEVATED EVENTS

The Overlook is a separate, 1,500-square-foot event space ideal for groups of 10 to 70 people. The open, airy room features floor-toceiling windows and a wrap-around deck, as well as Wi-Fi and all the audiovisual equipment needed to show a personal slideshow during a wedding reception or a presentation during a corporate retreat. Full-service food and beverage are also available.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

Some guests choose to depart Cloud Camp with a hike along a trail that leads to Cheyenne Canyon and The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure, where, after an exhilarating few hours navigating the zip line course, they finish with a controlled rappel into the canyon to cap their adventure in style.

This serene mountaintop retreat feels a world removed from ordinary.

“When you get up on top of the mountain, 9,200 feet above stress level, it’s a totally different mindset and people just relax.”

— CLOUD CAMP MANAGER LISA THOMASSIE

FLY FISHING CAMP

LAY OF THE LAND

The Broadmoor Fly Fishing Camp is situated along a private five-mile stretch of the Tarryall River in southern Colorado’s Lost Creek Wilderness. The Orvis-endorsed lodge features prime fishing habitat, with a variety of terrain both above and below water that’s well-suited for every style of fishing, from roll casting into a tree-lined pool to nymphing below a tumbling cascade or hucking a dry fly for distance. The camp maintains very low numbers, and its dedicated staff of seasoned guides ensures that everyone from novice fisherman to experienced anglers enjoys a superb experience.

The guides and Camp Manager Scott Tarrant are on-site around the clock, and they also take care of everything from cooking and cleaning to gardening and stream maintenance, in addition to guiding small groups on the water with a two guests to each guide ratio.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Accommodations are in seven renovated historic cabins clustered among the pines, many of them within earshot of the gurgling river. The cabins date to the late 1800s and have been remodeled and outfitted in refined, rustic décor. Some include a private bathroom, while others are located a short distance from a heated bathhouse with private showers, sinks and stalls.

The camp is centered on a well-appointed Main Lodge, where guests congregate for meals and to socialize. Evenings are often spent swapping fish tales by the fire.

ACTIVITIES

When guests aren’t on the water enjoying world-class trout fishing, many enjoy exploring the network of trails that wind through the surrounding Lost Creek Wilderness. Guided horseback riding is also offered. Cornhole boards and other yard games are a fun diversion, as is sitting around a campfire in the evening and trying to count the endless ribbon of stars that flow overhead.

FOOD AND DRINK

While most of the fishing is catch-and-release, guests also have the option of bringing their trout back to the lodge, where Tarrant will demonstrate how to clean and prepare the fish. The day’s catch is then presented at dinner, alongside other homemade specialties served family style in the lodge’s dining room.

In addition to fresh-caught fish, menus at Fly Fishing Camp revolve around seasonal produce from Colorado’s Arkansas Valley Organic Growers, as well as produce and herbs grown in The Broadmoor’s on-property greenhouse. Outdoor cookouts are often a highlight, with beef sourced from nearby ranches.

GROUP GATHERINGS

The camp also features a comfortable event space called Fish House, which is outfitted with fishing memorabilia and everything needed to host presentations, small gatherings or breakout sessions. Half- and full-day guided fishing trips are also available for groups from The Broadmoor.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

The camp’s guides are experienced in tying flies, and are happy to teach the technique during a personalized fly-tying lesson at the camp. There’s nothing like landing a large trout on a fly that you’ve tied yourself.

From novice fishermen to experienced anglers, this Orvis-endorsed lodge is the place to experience some of the West’s best fishing.

RESTORING A MASTERPIECE

Elegant and completely reimagined, The Broadmoor Estate House offers groups classic opulence and the ultimate in entertaining.

BY BOB BOWS

MANY GREAT FORTUNES WERE MADE during the Roaring Twenties, when credit was plentiful and stocks soared. Most of this wealth was wiped out on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, when the day of reckoning came on low-margin positions and the New York Stock Exchange collapsed, throwing the U.S. and the world into the Great Depression.

Among those fortunes that survived the crash was that of Thomas Harris Powers, heir to the Powers-Weightman pharmaceutical company (which merged with Merck & Co. in 1927), the first company to introduce quinine to the United States.

Powers hailed from Philadelphia, which was also home to Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose during his boyhood.

In 1923, five years after Penrose opened The Broadmoor, Powers purchased land from The Broadmoor Hotel & Land Company, across the street from the resort.

The quinine magnate began his plans modestly in 1924, constructing a small four-bedroom cottage and a carriage house, with a four-car garage and caretaker’s apartment, designed by Thomas MacLaren, a heralded Scottish architect who moved to Colorado Springs for his health. The house is still in existence at

No. 1 Broadmoor Avenue, with a carriage house on the opposite corner.

That same year, Powers selected Saco Reink DeBoer to design the landscape plan for the property. DeBoer was the Landscape Architect of the City and County of Denver from 1910 to 1931, where he collaborated with Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. on the citywide park and parkway system. DeBoer was ahead of his time and is still recognized today for his use of native plant material, sensitivity to the natural landscape and sustainable practices such as water conservation.

THE PINNACLE OF LUXURY

But by the late ’20s, Powers’ ambitions for a grander abode had taken root, and

he engaged the services of Frohman, Robb & Little of Boston, one of America’s significant 20th century Gothic-style architecture firms, who worked on the completion of the Washington National Cathedral. Their design for Powers, La Tourelle, is named for the stone turret that dominates the front of the house. According to property records, it was built in 1930. When completed, it contained 17 rooms, including seven bedrooms and seven baths, plus servants’ quarters, all spread over 12,000 square feet. The census of that year, two years into the Great Depression, valued it at $60,000.

Yet, the house was used only briefly from 1930 through 1935, and by 1940 it was being maintained by four of Powers’ servants. Finally, in 1949, La Tourelle was sold by Powers to L.B. Simmons, of Duncan, Oklahoma, for $100,000. In 1960, Simmons sold the house. In 1993, the estate went into foreclosure. The Broadmoor purchased it in 2016 and began the journey of bringing it back to life.

AN EMERALD ANNIVERSARY

Over the past 90 years, Sea Island has evolved from a “friendly little hotel” to a world-famous destination, while proving that some traditions are timeless.

BY LINDA DOMINGO

LEFT: HOWARD COFFIN; THE CLOISTER IN 1928 .

UNITED STATES PRESIDENTS AND OTHER dignitaries have visited. Stars and celebrities including James Stewart and Cheryl Tiegs have roamed its hallways, escaping the show-business grind to relax among Spanish moss and live oaks, if only for a weekend. Golf’s top competitors and avid fans flock to enjoy its courses and Golf Performance Center, where cutting-edge technology, equipment and insight from industry experts help them enhance their game. And the most powerful world leaders have gathered here, discussing global concerns and shaping tomorrow’s policies.

Sea Island, which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year and is now under shared ownership with The Broadmoor, has enough stories to fill every inch of the isle. Over the years, it has transformed from a “friendly little hotel” into an internationally acclaimed destination—and the only resort in the world to earn four Forbes Five Star ratings for 10 years in a row.

The setting looks very different than it did nine decades ago; however, some things never change. Even

while services and amenities are constantly reimagined to meet modern expectations, Sea Island continues to honor its past, retaining its signature elegance and the undeniable sense of community that charms members and guests year after year.

A STORIED HISTORY

In 1910, Howard Coffin and his wife, Matilda, traveled to see his cars race just south of Savannah. They fell in love with the area and inadvertently changed the course of history.

Coffin, a millionaire, engineer and co-founder of the Hudson Motor Car Co., purchased swaths of the land, creating Sea Island Investments. He began building his vision for the island, including a golf course. “Mr. Coffin did not like golf, but he knew that his guests would want to play,” says Merry Tipton, the Director of Marketing Communications for the resort. “So a golf course opened in June of 1928, before there was even a hotel. People stayed in a large ship, called the Amphitrite, anchored nearby.” »

THROUGH THE YEARS

PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE

1928 PRESENTING THE CLOISTER

Designed by architect Addison Mizner, Sea Island’s 46-room “friendly little hotel” opens its doors and immediately becomes a popular destination.

1941

OUT OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION

The resort survives the economic crisis thanks to tenacity, ingenuity and community support.

Later that year, construction finished on The Cloister, a Mediterranean-inspired hotel designed by noted architect Addison Mizner. The Cloister comprised 46 rooms, the Spanish Lounge, courtyard, formal dining room and a solarium. It was an overnight success, often booked to capacity even in its earliest days. Hearst newspaper writer and editor Arthur Brisbane hailed the hotel as the “sun parlor of the nation.”

If that weren’t enough, President Calvin Coolidge spent that Christmas in the area with Howard Coffin, and came to The Cloister and planted an oak tree. A photographer captured the event, and the images ran in newspapers across the country. The publicity attracted even more visitors, and the president’s actions started a tradition that would eventually include Dwight Eisenhower, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Margaret Thatcher, George W. Bush, Tony Blair and Bill Clinton—whose trees can still be seen at Sea Island today.

As The Cloister rose in 1928, Coffin also transformed the old beach club—which once housed a dance pavilion—into a popular seaside destination, with a larger dance hall and freshwater swimming pool. A golf clubhouse opened that September. Things were looking up, but just as the resort began to come into its own, the Great Depression struck.

FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING

By strategic and creative means, Sea Island made it through the economic downturn. In 1932, Coffin turned management of the resort over to his younger cousin, Bill Jones. Sea Island would continue to be owned and managed by the family for decades to come, with Bill Jones Jr. taking the helm after his father, followed by Bill Jones III in 1992.

The resort began printing its own money in nickel, dime, quarter, $1 and $5 denominations. Emblazoned with the signature of Sea Island’s treasurer, the scrip explained that the Sea Island Co. would redeem the amount in legal U.S. currency or coin “when it becomes possible to do so.”

“It didn’t matter where you bought your groceries or where you pumped your gas; all the merchants here in our community knew that somehow, some way, Sea Island would be able to make good on the scrip,” Tipton says. “Of course, Sea Island did.”

Sea Island entered a new era of hosting dignitaries and celebrities, creating unique and memorable experiences for its guests, and gaining more and more notoriety for its high level of service. A new Sea Island Beach Club opened in 1950, and the resort continued to make enhancements to its golf courses, building Sea Island’s reputation as one of the world’s top golf destina-

tions. The Golf Learning Center opened in 1991, followed by The Lodge in 2001, further solidifying that position.

In 2004, Sea Island hosted the G8 Summit, the meeting of the largest industrial democracies. It remains the only resort in the U.S. to have done so, ultimately hosting 22 world leaders that summer. The Sea Island staff had about a year to prepare for the event, which brought the delegates and their staffs, security and Secret Service to the island, and drew worldwide media attention.

In 2016, Sea Island was acquired by Denver’s Anschutz family, which consolidated ownership of Sea Island and The Broadmoor and placed the resorts in a 100-year family trust to preserve their historical and cultural value. At the same time, Sea Island returns to its roots as a family-owned organization, well-prepared to serve guests and members for another century to come.

LOOKING FORWARD

At Sea Island, preservation is not synonymous with stagnation. This year, the resort will complete a number of exciting enhancements at The Lodge, adding six new cottages, an oceanfront pool and pool house, an 18-hole putting course and a brand-new, state-ofthe-art Golf Performance Center. The 17,000-square-foot Golf Performance Center will have a putting studio, full-service workshop, gym, retail area, club-fitting bays and all the

Another highly anticipated development: The Plantation Course will undergo a full renovation under the direction of Love Golf Design, a golf course architecture firm founded by Sea Island’s own Davis Love III and his brother, Mark, reopening in October 2019. The renovation will evoke the history of the course, creating new and interesting strategic elements while retaining the course’s character and routing.

Much has changed about Sea Island since its official opening nine decades ago, but many longtime employees, members and returning guests would likely agree that quite a few things have stood the test of time. “Ask our guests who have been visiting since the 1940s, ‘Over these years, what has stayed the same?’ ” Tipton says. “They would say that the food has always been good and they love the beach, but what sets Sea Island apart has been the people. The community. The way the staff treats everyone. That warm, genuine hospitality has been with us from the beginning, and it still is very alive and well today. That is Sea Island.”

REWRITING HISTORY

A colorful resort like The Broadmoor tends to collect a lot of legends and lore over 100 years. The resort’s team sifts through a century of history to tell the definitive Broadmoor story.

BY GREG TASKER

SPENCER PENROSE LOVED A GOOD story. Consider the days when Tessie, a four-ton elephant, roamed the grounds of The Broadmoor along with a menagerie of other exotic animals. As if that weren’t enough, guests at The Broadmoor could not be regaled by any old elephant. No, Tessie was crowned “the largest Elephant in the World, the Empress of India, Gift of the Raja Nagapur to Spencer Penrose.”

And then there’s the oft-told tale of The Broadmoor logo. That the distinctive raised “A” was a slight at The Antlers, a first-class hotel that preceded The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. The story goes that The Antlers refused Penrose

a room one night and, in an act of defiance, he rode his horse into the bar and ordered a drink for himself and the horse. Penrose, a visionary from Philadelphia who made his riches in the West through mining, milling and transportation, might have felt the desire to embellish a few details here and there to promote The Broadmoor, but he’d likely have been happy with the facts as they are presented in the newly published hardcover book, “The Broadmoor Story.”

The coffee-table book celebrates the Centennial of The Broadmoor’s founding and covers the colorful and engaging history of the beloved resort. The story begins with the early days of Colorado Springs—there were other hotels in the region before Penrose built his “Grand Dame of the Rockies”—and stretches to the present, under the ownership of Philip Anschutz, who grew up visiting The Broadmoor and who is the driving force behind the resort’s most recent renovations and expansions.

“The story of Colorado Springs and The Broadmoor go hand in hand,” says Jack Damioli, CEO and President of The Broadmoor. “As Colorado Springs developed, so did The Broadmoor.”

A COLORFUL PAST

“The Broadmoor Story” is not told in textbook fashion, like the dry history of military maneuvers, but more in the vein of a sophisticated scrapbook, filled with historical and contemporary photographs, complementing one another. Archival photographs include everything from scenes of the early days of Colorado Springs to the hotel’s construction and amenities long gone, including a riding arena, ice arena and ski area, as well as the still-operating golf course and the new Wilderness Experience properties— Cloud Camp, Fly Fishing Camp and The Ranch at Emerald Valley. There’s also a slew of archival photos of employees, Penrose family members and celebrity guests, including Prince Harry of Wales, President Gerald Ford, Jackie Gleason, Bob Hope and Liberace.

Published earlier this year, “The Broadmoor Story” marks only the second time the resort’s history has been officially told in print. “Broadmoor Memories” was published in the early 1990s, and was researched and written without the resources available today.

At 212 pages, “The Broadmoor Story” was a labor of love for those involved, a team that included Allison Scott, Communications Director for The Broadmoor, Beth Davis, the hotel’s Archivist, Tom Wilmes, Editor of The Broadmoor magazine, as well as members of the El Pomar Foundation and even its publishers, Filter Press LLC, of Palmer Lake, Colorado.

“It was a team effort,” says Damioli, who is only the seventh president and CEO in the hotel’s long history. Allison Scott and Beth Davis led the team. I consider them the generals of the project. They used all the resources at their fingertips and came up with a great finished product.”

SPENCER PENROSE

MILLION-DOLLAR

PHOTO Spencer Penrose hosted the owners of some of the nation’s finest hotels shortly after the resort opened. The group was known as the Hundred Million Dollar Hotel Group.

“The story of Colorado Springs and The Broadmoor go hand in hand.”

MYTH BUSTERS

The 18-month-long effort included extensive research, writing, editing and careful scrutiny of stories and documents. Telling The Broadmoor’s story meant a commitment to the truth and relying on facts, rather than long-told tales. The oral histories of former employees and others were carefully listened to but always verified by surviving documents or photographs.

As a result, some legendary stories— such as the aforementioned Antlers incident—were shared in the pages of “The Broadmoor Story,” but framed with facts.

“Spencer Penrose riding his horse into The Antlers makes for a colorful story,” says Wilmes, who served as editor-inchief of the book as well as a contributor. “But it isn’t true.”

The truth is that Broadmoor without the raised “A” was already widely used as a logo in Colorado Springs (several properties preceding The Broadmoor hotel used the Broadmoor name), and by raising the

“A” Penrose was able to secure a copyright and differentiate his hotel. The real story behind Tessie the Elephant is also shared in “The Broadmoor Story.”

“So much history is by memory or told verbally, and there are a lot of things that contradicted one another,” Scott says. “History is not calculus. We’re dealing with a lot of people’s memories, and that can be challenging.

“We found there were a lot of things that had been told over and over again,” she says. “They became urban legends or became real in people’s minds.”

For Davis, The Broadmoor’s Archivist for 10 years, research uncovered not only never-before-seen photos but other surprises, as well. They included locating digital archives of the landscaping plans and photographs of the Olmsted brothers, landscape architects of The Broadmoor and sons of the famed designer Frederick Law Olmsted Sr.

“To me, it was one of the most interesting aspects,” she says. “We were aware the Olmsteds had done the grounds and also did the grounds for the Penrose’s home (El Pomar). We were finally able to get access to their original plans and could see where they put specific plants.”

Surprisingly, while some design modifications have been made over the years,

most of the original planting beds remain on The Broadmoor’s main campus.

“You look at the Olmsted drawings and go, ‘Wow, that’s just like today,’ ” Davis says.

A SINGULAR VISION

For Wilmes, one of the impressive aspects of The Broadmoor’s history is the “very short chain of ownership” over the past century. There have been just three owners in the resort’s history: Spencer Penrose, Edward L. Gaylord and Philip Anschutz.

“There were times in The Broadmoor’s history where hotel groups or outside chains wanted to purchase the hotel— who knows how different things could have been?” he says. “That continuity helped us to organize and tell 100 years of history in a way that directly connects past with present. It’s what makes The Broadmoor what it is today, with so much of its original character intact.”

Adds Damioli: “To have three private owners over 100 years is almost unheard of. The Broadmoor is not a corporate asset. It’s a place that’s loved and that people are passionate about. It’s been placed in a 100-year trust to preserve it for generations to come.”

Damioli says anyone who picks up the

book will gain a rich appreciation for The Broadmoor and its unique story. It’s not a traditional resort by any means, he adds, pointing to recent expansions and acquisitions, which include off-site activities such as zip lining with The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure and hiking and sightseeing at The Broadmoor Seven Falls.

“I think the book looks fantastic,” says Connie Rickard, a representative of El Pomar, a philanthropic organiztion founded by the Penroses. “What I liked best is the presentation. It has a lot of pertinent information presented in an easily readable format. ‘The Broadmoor Story’ tells the story in a fashion that would hold someone’s interest, especially someone who doesn’t like to read history books.”

Other members of the El Pomar Foundation have been equally enamored of the book, including Thayer Tutt, vice chairman of the foundation and the greatgrandson of Charles Tutt Sr., one of Penrose’s business partners.

“There are photos I’ve never seen before,” says Tutt, noting that a 1918 family portrait is included in the book. “I really like the way the book is presented. It’s a celebration of The Broadmoor instead of just a history book. It’s a great achievement.”

“To have three private owners over 100 years is almost unheard of. The Broadmoor is not a corporate asset. It’s a place that’s loved and that people are passionate about.”

REMEMBERING JULIE PENROSE

Returning to the home of her great-grandmother, Julie Penrose, brings back special memories of childhood at The Broadmoor for Baroness Longchamps.

GLEEFUL MEMORIES OF ICE-SKATING lessons and a very special dog named PittyPat flooded back when Julie Penrose’s great-granddaughter made a special visit to The Broadmoor in time for the hotel’s Centennial celebration. We sat down with Baroness Sybille Michele Emilie Marie Ghislaine de Selys Longchamps, who shared personal memories of time spent at her great-grandmother’s Broadmoor suite and the shared history that connects this Belgian baroness to Colorado Springs.

Q.

What do you remember about Julie Penrose?

You know, she was always in the same mood — she would never lose her temper, and she was always smiling. I remember everyone was always coming up to her and saying hello, especially when we were with her in the Tavern, which you know hasn’t changed much since then. Oh, and of course I remember PittyPat, her dog.

Q. You were raised in Belgium?

Yes. After the war, the aristocratic families were struggling financially with these huge estates. I’ve been told there were lists of wealthy American heiresses, so the men came over here and fell in love, and the American heiresses redid all the castles. That’s how Gladys [Julie’s only daughter] came to Belgium; of course she and my grandfather were in love, but she really saved the Chateau de Longchamps. She had the same type of character that Julie had, and you could see the similarities in the buildings between the castle and The Broadmoor.

Q. How old were you when you first came to The Broadmoor?

I must’ve been only 6 or 7 years old. My grandmother came down with MS so young; she was only 40. She could never come, but my mother Pauline brought us. Spencer had already died, so I never met him, but there’s a photo somewhere of him and my older brother as a baby.

Q. What do you remember from that trip?

Skating! It was wonderful; we all ran across the bridge and laced up our skates and they gave us lessons. They even taught us to twirl.

Q. What was it like being a child here?

We were running around like wild, yet everyone was so nice to us—we were quite spoiled. We loved staying in her flat in Broadmoor Main. It was also the first time we had seen television, so I remember sitting in front of the television and being given quite a bit of chewing gum. It was so special for us! And of course we went to Pikes Peak on the train and we went to the zoo.

Q. Did you come back when you were older?

Well, yes, probably the last time I saw Julie was when I was 15 or 16. We would land at the airport, and she would meet us out there with her chauffeur, her maid and of course PittyPat.

Q. Did you get a chance to visit the Pauline Chapel? (Named for Lady Longchamps’ mother, Pauline.)

When I arrived, I saw the Pauline Chapel and noticed there was a sign for a mass. I went in and very much enjoyed the service and afterwards told the Chaplin I was Julie Penrose’s great-granddaughter and that Pauline was my mother. He was so kind, and really the whole thing was so touching.

I think I was afraid that everything would be different here at the hotel. But to return now, and see how The Broadmoor has captured the memories of Spencer and Julie, it’s really something quite special. Especially now that it’s been 100 years. I wouldn’t have guessed for one minute that these memories would still be here, and it’s very special to see them now.

BY THE TIME SPENCER PENROSE ENVISIONED

THE Broadmoor as the West’s greatest resort, the name “Olmsted” had already been a legend in the worlds of landscape architecture, city planning, parks and recreation, and urban design for more than half a century. Most famous for his groundbreaking design and construction of New York City’s Central Park (completed in 1856), Frederick Law Olmsted Sr. opened the country’s first firm devoted to landscape architecture and is known worldwide as the father of the discipline. It was Central Park that put Olmsted on the map, but over the following five decades he amassed an almost impossible-to-believe portfolio of hundreds of high-profile designs, including other major parks (Prospect Park and Riverside Park, New York; Mont Royal, Montreal; Riverside, Chicago), entire citywide park systems (Buffalo, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Louisville, Kentucky; Milwaukee, Wisconsin); college campuses (Stanford, Yale, Colgate, American University, Smith, Tufts, Berkeley, University of Chicago, among many others); the nation’s first state park, Niagara Reserve; the site of the 1893 Chicago; World’s Fair, made famous in the book and soon-to-be-movie “Devil in the White City”; and even the grounds of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.

Joined midway through his illustrious career by his sons, John and Frederick Law Jr., the Olmsted company, later Olmsted Brothers, would remain the world’s highest profile landscape architecture firm until the mid-20th century. Father and son famously collaborated on the Chicago World’s Fair and the Biltmore, George Vanderbilt’s legendary Asheville, North Carolina, estate. The famous heir dropped the Junior shortly after his father’s death in 1903, leading many designs by one or the other (or both) to collectively be called Olmsted works, and he continued to grow the family legacy, completing a new master plan for Cornell University, the planned community of Kohler, Wisconsin, a litany of high-profile projects in National Parks (Yosemite, Everglades, Acadia) and the nation’s capital (National Mall, Jefferson Memorial, White House grounds, Rock Creek Park). He also co-founded the American Society of Landscape Architects.

At a time when the visionary Penrose was seeking out the best of the best for his pet project, including the world’s leading golf course architect of the day, Donald Ross, it seems obvious in retrospect that he would hire Frederick Law Olmsted and his firm to do the extensive landscape design required for The Broadmoor. In fact, The Broadmoor project was a reunion of sorts, as the Olmsteds, father and son, had designed the entire village of Pinehurst, North Carolina, in 1895. One of the earliest planned communities in the nation, it was also the very first destination golf resort. Ross, a Scottish immigrant, designed the first four courses at Pinehurst and lived there for the rest of his life. Both resorts have since become titans of golf history and hosted multiple majors championships.

Popularly considered to be the father of American landscape architecture, Olmsted was famous for designing many urban parks with his partner Calvert Vaux, including Central Park in New York City and the grounds of the U.S. Capitol in Washington DC.

Olmsted came to Colorado repeatedly, beginning about a decade before The Broadmoor’s construction, and first produced a comprehensive city and park system plan for Boulder (many elements of which were finally undertaken 80 years later). He then consulted on the Denver city park system, now the largest in the nation, as well as on parks for Colorado Springs. During these years he also worked on The Broadmoor Estates and Broadmoor Heights real estate developments, and designed the elaborate grounds at Penrose’s private home, El

Pomar, now operated by a nonprofit trust, so the developer had a high comfort level with Olmsted, who in turn had developed a deep familiarity with the area.

While the diversity of the Olmsteds’ work was vast and ranged from park systems to monuments to entire municipalities and even cemeteries, there was an aesthetic commonality to their designs and a deeply held belief system behind them. First and foremost, the Olmsted ideal sought the integration of nature into a modern and increasingly urban life, and favored walking and outdoor activity over passivity. Not surprisingly, this is a philosophy that remains very much alive a century later at The Broadmoor, where myriad outdoor and sporting activities are showcased. In their work, extensive and elaborate footpaths and bridges were a constant, designed to subconsciously encourage both relaxation and movement, aimed at subtly—or not so subtly—encouraging citizens to walk, enjoy and escape into their landscapes, which always valued purpose over ornamentation.

One of the design rules was that design itself should be hidden and was simply the means to an end. Despite their fame, the Olmsteds’ goal was for their work to go almost unnoticed as architecture per se, and instead simply become the place. For this reason, a certain natural wildness or rawness was preferred over the artificial manicured formality that had long been a key part of European estate design, and abrupt transitions—or any unnaturally abrupt features—were eschewed. Instead, the ideal was to link disparate landscapes in a seamless way, which often utilized water, boulders, large trees and especially bridges, which could literally bridge aesthetic divides. This can easily be seen today in New York’s Central Park, where the “natural” landscape does not at all seem contrived, yet virtually every significant rock, tree, slope, thicket and hill was deliberately planned, relocated or manufactured on a previously flat and barren site.

The lake that is the centerpiece of today’s Broadmoor resort

looks very much like an Olmsted design, just as a large reservoir forms the core of Central Park, and an entirely manmade watercourse in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park includes a river set in a ravine, waterfalls, ponds and a 60-plus acre lake, all so natural in appearance that it is considered one of the great design achievements of landscape architecture. Had The Broadmoor lake not been there already, it is quite likely Olmsted would have built something similar, but in fact it was the main feature Penrose inherited from original landowner Count Pourtales, and one that Olmsted eagerly embraced in his plans.

NATURAL BEAUTY

When Penrose began erecting his grand hotel, it was a single fourwing building set between the city and the lake, with a main front entrance on Lake Avenue and opening in the back to the water. This is what is now known as Broadmoor Main, and the other side of the lake, today Broadmoor West, was still wilderness. Many of the original Olmsted Brothers’ sketches, blueprints, material invoices, photos and other documentation are now in the hands of resort archivist Beth Davis, and it is easy to see that the work goes far beyond what many observers would consider mere landscaping. The Olmsted renderings were a comprehensive land plan of the entire site, including roads, greenways, outbuildings, terraces and paths; more like the planned towns of Pinehurst and Kohler than a mere resort. “They planned where every single tree went, every path, every green space—the level of detail is unbelievable,” Davis says. “We still have the planting diagrams, which specify which species of plants and how many of each to plant went where and how closely planted they are. There are details for massive amounts of individual plants, each precisely planned.” The mosaic that became the front garden contains thousands of individual flowers of many varieties, but allocated and located in an extremely specific way. Likewise, the overall blueprints are

PRECISELY PLANTED Diagrams developed by the Olmsted Brothers specified the exact type, placement and spacing for thousands of plants and flowers throughout The Broadmoor’s campus.

“They planned where every single tree went, every path, every green space—the level of detail is unbelievable.”

IN THE DETAILS Renderings and designs for The Broadmoor included details such as custom wrought-iron lampposts.

dotted with hundreds of small circles, each of them hand-drawn all over the map—these represent every individual tree transplanted to The Broadmoor property at the time, with the exception of those on the golf course. Olmsted’s site plan includes all the areas surrounding the hotel structure and lakefront, the entire resort up until the golf clubhouse and adjacent tennis courts, which form the dividing line beyond which Ross’ golf course plan began. There is even detailed landscaping around the tennis courts, the farthest-flung part of the Olmsted design.

Lake Avenue is now a main Colorado Springs thoroughfare lined with majestic pines, but in 1918 it was a barren dirt track, so Olmsted conceived a grand entrance to announce arrival to the hotel, with an extensive front garden and main fountain. While in the original plans, the fountain was not installed until 1923, five years after the grand opening, but the complex plantings Davis described were all in place. Other parts of the original plans have not survived—there was originally a large stable complex for up to 50 horses next to Broadmoor Main, also extensively landscaped, and the Olmsted blueprints called for eight freestanding cottages curving around the front garden at the Lake Avenue entrance, which were never constructed.

But the main elements of the Olmsted plan can still be seen today, as the primary focus was the lake side of the hotel and the interior of the resort’s grounds. Guests would arrive from the city, but pass through the hotel to discover a beautiful natural escape.

The mezzanine of Broadmoor Main, where the hotel concierge desk is now located, was at the time open-air terraces. Always wary of abrupt change, Olmsted carefully planned a transition from the hotel interior to the lake, including the landscaping and aesthetics of the hotel terraces themselves, larger than they are today, down to the shape and appearance of the railing and steps.

“Not only did the Olmsted Brothers do the regular landscaping, they designed the lampposts, railings, flowerpots, balustrades, every element, natural and manmade, that you would see between leaving the hotel and the water,” says Davis. Many of these touches, including the waterfront railings, survive to this day, and the custom wrought-iron lampposts would not be out of place in Central Park.

Fitting his pedestrian friendly bent, the most obvious Olmsted design element is the well-used walking path that runs along the lakefront, which has been tread by uncountable thousands of guests and visitors to the resort. While Broadmoor West was not built until 1976, long after Olmsted’s passing, the resulting extension of the path around the lake, and especially the island and bridges now connecting the two main buildings, are straight out of the firm’s design playbook, and a fitting expansion of the original ideal.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 1918 - 2018

EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN

Spencer Penrose took the same care in selecting all the noted designers for the property as he did in choosing the Olmsted Brothers for the landscape. To create the hotel, he chose the New York firm of Warren and Wetmore, which had designed various landmarks in New York, including Grand Central Terminal and the Ritz-Carlton hotel. For the golf course, Penrose engaged Donald Ross, who designed more courses on which major championships have been played than any other golf architect in history.

THE MOST REFRESHING FINISH

BY BOB BOWS

BROADMOOR FOUNDER SPENCER

Penrose loved to entertain. For his hotel guests during the early years, he brought in everything from rodeo, football and boxing, to celebrities, politicians and wild animals. One of his earliest ventures—and one that still thrives today—is the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), which wears the mantle of the second-oldest motorsports competition in the United States, after the Indianapolis 500.

The PPIHC is a one-of-a-kind challenge and entertainment rolled into one. Of Colorado’s 53 mountain peaks taller than 14,000 feet, Pikes Peak is the closest to the plains, and a short drive from The Broadmoor. The road to its 14,115-foot summit—a snaking 20-mile stretch sure to test any driver’s nerves—was a mere carriage route before Penrose had it widened and improved for automobiles in 1915. That dirt track, with maintenance, remained the surface that the PPIHC was contested on until paving was completed in 2011.

The PPIHC is the most diverse one-day motorsports event in the world, with categories for everything from race cars and motorcycles to 1,400-plus horsepower electric vehicles.

The race begins at the 7-mile mark of the road, at an elevation of 9,390 feet, and rises nearly 5,000 vertical feet through 156 turns—the majority without guardrails— and 12.42 miles. It is generally considered one of the most dangerous motorsports races in the world. If you watch a GoPro

video from the point of view of the nose of one of the race vehicles, with the cars averaging over 90 miles per hour, and motorcycles averaging 75 miles an hour, you’ll understand why the PPIHC is a turbocharged, adrenalineinfused juggernaut.

drivers must navigate the seven switchbacks (the “Ws”) that lead to the “Devil’s Playground” at 12,780 feet. This stretch of road crosses one of the most electrically active zones on the planet, experiencing thousands of lightning strikes a year, drawn by the high iron content of the mountain.

Of course, the panoramas along the course are as grand as any in the Centennial State, with 400-mile views spanning both the Continental Divide and the Great Plains—a sight that inspired Katharine Lee Bates to write “America the Beautiful” after visiting the summit in 1893. Pikes Peak is the No. 1 tourist attraction in Colorado, hosting 5.9 million visitors a year, which makes it second only to Mount Fuji as the most visited mountain in the world.

Spectators enjoy great views, with viewing sites strictly assigned and managed by the racing committee due to the precarious nature of the course.

LEXINGTON SPECIAL Otto Loesche drove the Lexington Special in several Hill Climb events, winning in 1920, 1921 and in 1924, when he set a record time of 18 minutes, 15 seconds.

As the customized racing machines and their speed demons flash by like greased lightning on their way to the top—with gas-fueled engines straining to reach speeds of 145 miles per hour in Pikes Peak’s oxygen-starved realms—

ESSENTIALS

With the growing global focus on battery-driven cars, PPIHC’s features provide a unique proving ground for the latest developments in the rapidly evolving technology of electric motors, which have zero horsepower loss at altitude. The race has already been the site of the first overall victory by an electric car against unlimited competition in international motor racing (2015, Rhys Millen, in a Drive eO PP03). Electric vehicles at PPIHC have been clocked accelerating from 0 to 60 in 1.8 seconds, making them the fastest cars ever.

Many believe it won’t be long before electric-powered vehicles dominate the field.

SEVEN FALLS

GUESTS MAY WALK along a nature path from The Broadmoor to the entrance of Seven Falls, or ride a complimentary shuttle from the resort. Visitors pay an admission fee at the canyon’s entrance.

Call 844-870-8274 or visit Broadmoor.com for information.

for contemporary recreation as part of its Wilderness Experience.

From the entrance to Cheyenne Canyon, visitors can choose to walk up the 0.8-mile, mildly inclined nature trail alongside a creek to Seven Falls, or ride a tram to the base of the falls.

Restaurant 1858, named after the year the Colorado Gold Rush started, sits at the base of the falls. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner and offers delectable Colorado-influenced cuisine and drinks in its dining room, or on a covered patio with views of the falls.

IN A STATE FILLED WITH NATURAL wonders, The Broadmoor’s Seven Falls and South Cheyenne Canyon belong rightfully on the A-list of scenic highlights. Called “The Grandest Mile in Colorado” by the Ames Guide in 1912, and only five minutes by a complimentary shuttle or a short walk along a nature trail from The Broadmoor, these Colorado gems will inspire any visitor.

Homesteader Nathaniel Colby first acquired Seven Falls in 1872 and turned it into a tourist attraction, charging 10 cents a person to visit. By 1885, a new owner had built a road leading to the falls and a stairway that climbs to the top. Visitors

arrived on foot, on horseback and in carriages, and paid a toll at the entrance.

PERFECT PAIRINGS

Restaurant 1858 sits riverside at the base of Seven Falls, and offers diners great views along with delicious food and drinks.

Lights were added to the canyon in 1947, and a 170foot tunnel was later dug into the side of the mountain, along with an elevator that carries visitors to the Eagle’s Nest observation platform.

The canyon was in need of major repair after heavy flooding in 2013, so it was fortuitous that The Broadmoor purchased the property a year later. The resort promptly leveraged its expertise and resources to restore Seven Falls’ historic features and re-envision the area

Across from the restaurant, an elevator and stairs both lead to the “Eagles Nest,” a platform with a panoramic view of each of Seven Falls’ seven distinct cascades. There, guests will also find Rockhounds, a family-friendly gallery that features quality minerals and fossils from around the region and around the world, as well as jewelry, mineral art and original board games. Several sets of stairs lead to the top of Seven Falls itself, where trails extend into South Cheyenne Canyon.

For those interested in a more adrenaline-infused experience, The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure is just the ticket. The Broadmoor partnered with Bonsai Designs, an industry leader in creating aerial adventures, to develop the zip line courses, with particular attention paid to preserving the area’s natural beauty with minimal impact.

Long one of the region’s top natural attractions, The Broadmoor’s ownership ensures that Seven Falls will continue to flow for generations to come.

ON POINT

Earl Klugh’s annual Weekend of Jazz at The Broadmoor hits all the right notes in its 15th installment.

BY NORMAN PROVIZER

FOR THE 15TH EDITION OF HIS wildly popular Weekend of Jazz at The Broadmoor, acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh put together a package of musical headliners that packed the famed hotel’s International Center. There was, of course, Klugh’s band, with South African guitarist/ singer Jonathan Butler as a special guest. And during the first night’s concert, Klugh’s group turned in one of the most compelling sets of music it has ever generated in the event’s 15-year history. Talk about kicking things off on just the right note.

The West Coast Jam—featuring saxophonist Richard Elliot, guitarist Norman Brown and trumpeter Rick Braun—followed Klugh’s set with the crossover sounds associated with each of those well-known players. Then, for the second night’s concert at the International Center, there was singer/ actress Vanessa Williams offering her unique repertoire of popular hits, R&B tunes, jazz and songs from Broadway (where she has frequently appeared). As the fates would have it, just days before her appearance at the Weekend of Jazz, Williams received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce—and her

on-stage performance showed exactly why that award made perfect sense.

But, in many ways, it was pianist Bob James who presented the most interesting musical story during the event. James, who is one of the pioneering figures in presenting jazz in a manner that crosses over into the realm of popular music, began his career in the early 1960s as a college student playing straight-ahead sounds with his trio. That group gained considerable exposure after winning the Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival (where Quincy Jones was a judge) and recording on a major label. “Bold Conceptions,” which was released in 1962 and produced by Jones, offered listeners bebop with an adventurous touch.

In 1974, the pianist who says that he “just [wants] to be a jazz musician” released his first album as a leader titled “One.” It quickly crossed over to the popularmusic market, indicating the future direction of James’ music.

In the 1980s, James won Grammys for his collaborations first with Klugh and later with alto saxophonist David Sanborn. And, with the emergence of hip-hop, the pianist gained a new label as the most sampled jazz artist on the planet. Samples from his tunes, espe-

cially “Nautilus” and “Take Me to the Mardi Gras,” seemed to be everywhere. This development, he says with a twinkle, “never ceases to surprise me, and I wish I knew the answer as to how it happened so I could do it more.”

He notes that the “kind of groove of that era with repetitive vamps and powerful drumming was an easy fit for hip-hop.”

At The Broadmoor, James’ trio featured Billy Kilson on drums and Michael Palazzolo on bass, and the group’s set featured a number of tunes from its forthcoming CD on Mack Avenue Records, his first studio disc in 12 years, as well as James’ classics such as “Angela.”

It was another excellent installment of Earl Klugh’s Weekend of Jazz at The Broadmoor.

A WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT

The Broadmoor World Arena, Pikes Peak Center and Ice Hall offer a packed schedule of entertainment and activities.

BY REBECCA L. OLGEIRSON

Originally built as an enclosed horseriding academy in 1930, it was seeing glamorous figure skater Sonja Henie perform that inspired Spencer Penrose to convert the building into The Broadmoor Ice Palace. One hundred tons of water was frozen to create the surface, while steam pipes were installed at the edges to keep spectators warm. the Ice Palace opened in 1938.

In the days of the Ice Palace, waiters wore skates and delivered drinks and treats. Today, offerings at the newly renovated Broadmoor World Arena are a bit more substantial. For a real treat, book your private event in The Peter Susemihl Room, adjacent to the private Penrose Club. Inspired by the traditional Broadmoor décor, this room has the feel of a classic club, with comfy leather chairs and polished wood furnishings. Coming soon is a new Broadmoor Suite that will bring special elements of the resort to arena guests.

Adjacent to The Broadmoor World Arena sits the Ice Hall,

the Olympic training site where top figure skaters develop their skills. Practices are often open to the public. The facility is also home ice for the Colorado College Tigers hockey team.

Finally, with a stellar lineup of Broadway shows, along with other top touring acts, the Pikes Peak Center is always a smart ticket. The beautiful theater combines world-class acoustics with a sumptuous setting. Reserve your spot for pre-show dining with a tempting buffet in the ANB Bank Room. You’ll enjoy a fabulous pre-theater meal without rushing to make curtain time.

ART SPRINGS ETERNAL

Sharing its beginnings with The Broadmoor, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College prepares for its own Centennial celebration.

BY DORI MITCHELL

THE STORY OF THE COLORADO Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College (FAC) begins just one year after Spencer and Julie Penrose opened the doors at The Broadmoor. Established in 1919, in what had been the Penroses’ private downtown estate, the Broadmoor Art Academy (BAA) served as a cultural pillar of the West—ultimately evolving into what is known today as the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.

The Fine Arts Center was the first of its kind—a museum, theatre and art school, all under one roof. Three founding women came together to make this community dream a reality: Julie Penrose, who gifted the magnificent property at 30 West Dale St.; Alice

Bemis Taylor, who donated an incredible collection of Southwestern art; and Elizabeth Sage Hare, who through extensive connections with East Coast artists and collectors, successfully recruited world-class teaching artists and exhibitions.

Colorado Springs was founded in 1871 by Gen. William Jackson Palmer, who envisioned the city he nicknamed “Little London” as an oasis of culture amid the rugged landscape. From 1919 to 1935, artists from around the country streamed in to make that happen. Muralist, cartoonist and illustrator Boardman Robinson, from the Art Students League of New York, joined the BAA and took the helm as director in 1931. He brought along highly respected instructors, including artists Willard Nash, Ward Lockwood, Kenneth Adams, Tabor Utley, Laurence B. Field, Ernest Fiene, Warren Chappell, George Biddle, Paul Burlin, Charles Locke, Henry Varnum Poor and Frank Mechau. Instruc-

tion took place within the Penrose mansion, but also took advantage of the gorgeous surroundings and utilized the adjacent outdoor areas, including Monument Valley Park and Garden of the Gods.

It wasn’t long before the Western enclave received national acclaim. In 1920, a New York Times article commented on the BAA’s growing prominence, describing it as “An art school with competent instructors in a place remote from centres of art exhibitions.” The growing success and popularity of the BAA eventually led to its transformation into the Fine Arts Center, and the multidisciplinary focus you’ll find today.

The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College has, from its beginning, been a beacon of the arts in the region.

In 1934, the BAA’s Board of Trustees approved architect John Gaw Meem’s design plans for a new, cutting-edge arts center that wove elements of Pueblo structures and Native American iconography with art deco styles into a grand building that would later be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The opening week of the FAC in April 1936 created a level of excitement not known since the town’s founding more than 50 years prior.

Now in its 99th year and a year into its historic alliance with Colorado College, the FAC excitedly prepares for the centennial celebrations planned for 2019.

Dori Mitchell is the director of marketing and communications for the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.

A BRIGHT FUTURE

COMMUNITY TABLES

BY

INSPIRED BY MEETING PLANNERS WHO VOICED CONCERN about food waste from their events, The Broadmoor has partnered with El Pomar Foundation and The Anschutz Foundation on an inspired initiative: a grant for $50,000 to purchase a refrigerated food truck that will help deliver unused food to the Springs Rescue Mission, the largest homeless shelter and soup kitchen in the region.

When the grant was approved, The Broadmoor’s culinary team went to work designing a plan for the storage and handoff of food from buffets that had been prepped or prepared, but had not yet left the resort’s kitchen. Rather than wind up in a landfill, the unused food will now help to feed the homeless and needy populations of Colorado Springs.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), more than 1.3 billion tons of food is lost or goes to waste every year in fields, through transport, in restaurants and in the markets of industrialized countries. Food losses and waste amount to roughly $680 billion in industrialized countries, and $310 billion in developing countries. Even if just one-fourth of the food currently lost or wasted globally could be saved, it would be enough to feed 870 million hungry people. The FAO says raising awareness among industries, retailers and consumers, as well as finding beneficial uses for food that is presently thrown away, are useful measures to decrease the amount of loss and waste.

Those are staggering statistics with both global and local implications.

MEAL TRAIN Broadmoor chefs help load unused food from the resort’s kitchens for delivery to the Springs Rescue Mission.

The idea of refrigerated “food rescue” trucks serving shelters around the country is not new. Charities with soup kitchens nationwide currently work with nonprofit collection centers to pick up excess products from chain stores and restaurant suppliers that would otherwise be destined for landfills. But many hotels and larger restaurants have been hesitant to donate prepared food for fear of contamination. Recently, however, education on how soup kitchens gather and prepare food has relieved some of the concerns about donating much-needed food like chicken, ham, beef and vegetables.

To test the program, 3,500 pounds of food was collected and delivered to the Springs Rescue Mission at the end of 2017. Michael Longo, Executive Chef and Director of InKind Services at the mission, incorporated the meats into stews and chili, while the breads and pastries were served as is.

“We treat the food, and the transferring of it to Springs Rescue, with the same careful attention that we give to our guests,” says Broadmoor President and CEO Jack Damioli. “Our staff is extremely proud of this program and the difference it is already making, and the hope is that we can convince other large kitchens and businesses to support this program as well. It’s the right thing to do.”

A newly instituted program helps feed those in need with unused food from The Broadmoor’s kitchens.

A Century of Exceptional Service

THE PAINT HAD BARELY DRIED WHEN GUESTS and curious local residents crowded into The Broadmoor for its June 29, 1918, gala grand opening. Visitors found the lobby, halls, restaurants and 350 guest rooms exquisitely decorated and furnished, with appointments personally selected by Julie Penrose, wife of Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose.

The room rate was $10 to $12 per night (approximately $199 today), which included three meals prepared by Broadmoor Executive Chef Louis Stratta. Guests enjoyed tea and dancing in the ballroom each

afternoon, as well as music from a string quartet in the dining room. Hotel guests could also steep in The Broadmoor Baths, an early spa located off the main lobby and open at all hours, or take a dip in the 100,000-gallon indoor swimming pool.

While much has changed at The Broadmoor, one essential aspect remains the same: the resort’s unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional experience for its guests, including unique activities and amenities to delight the modern traveler. Thanks to you, our guests, for allowing us to be of service.

PALM COURT IN BROADMOOR MAIN, 1918

ORIGINAL WARREN AND WETMORE RENDERING

Out where the sun is a little brighter, Where the snows that fall are a trifle whiter, Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter, That's where the West begins.

Out where the skies are a trifle bluer, Out where the friendship's a little truer, That's where the West begins.

From “Out Where the West Begins” by Arthur Chapman, a favorite poem of Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose
