Winter is here ith a few dustings already in the books and some nearby ski resorts already cranking up their chair lifts, it’s true. Winter has arrived in Colorado. And, truth be told, we couldn’t be more excited — the cozy nights all bundled up, the hankering for warm drinks, the ski-trip planning with friends and family... the number of reasons why we love this season could go on and on, and they do in this issue of Winter Scene. Simply put, ‘tis the season for fun, food and deep powder and what’s better than that? This special edition captures all the exciting and cozy winter happenings in Boulder County and beyond — helping you plan your days from November to March.

Whether you’re the kind of person who dreams of spending your weekends curled up with the dog or the kids or a book and listening to holiday tunes, or you’re the person who’s been itching to hit the slopes for the past 208 days since spring skiing gave way to mud, we think this year is going to be a special one. In these pages, you’ll find a guide to help you choose the best ski resort for you; learn about sustainably produced winter apparel and how to choose a few new favorites for this season; get the scoop on concerts, holiday plays, festivals and many more events across the entire state; and where to go for some of the area’s best comfort foods.

So now that you know where to go and what to do this winter, get out there and make this your best one ever.

ONE LIFT WONDER

From Gondi Bars to Skiflakes, one Boulder Skier has created his dream job.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY TOM WINTER

Z

ack Finger is sweating. It’s hot in his fabrication shop, no air conditioning in the dying embers of summer as the late-season sun beats down on a dry Boulder afternoon. Despite the heat and the sweat, Finger, the founder of Boulder’s Last Chair Customs, is in his element. He’s wrapping up the pristine restoration of an old triple-seater chair, powder coated white, with new, beautifully finished beetle-kill pine slats for the seat. Old chairs from ski lifts aren’t usually considered works of art, yet as Finger makes the final touches to this restoration, it’s hard not to see the elegance and the simplicity of the finished product as anything but, or — at least — artisanship of the highest order.

Finger loves old chairlifts. And old gondolas. And old skis and snowboards and, really, anything that’s a physical manifestation of the history of sliding on snow down mountains. A transplanted snowboarder who grew up in Poland, Maine, and ended up in this steamy fabrication facility at the east end of town in the 6600 block of Arapahoe Avenue, Finger still finds the time to sneak up to Eldora on powder days despite a growing order book that includes a variety of chairs from lifts across the country and interesting one-off projects like unique trophies for skiing and snowboarding events or a gondola car turned bar.

The Gondi Bar is an ingenious creation that gives a second life to old No. 80, a derelict shell of a gondola cabin that Finger pulled out of the woods in someone’s backyard in Leadville. It was, he says, “filled with beer cans, a toilet and a bunch of other trash,” a nightmare but also — when it comes to a piece of skiing’s history — a massive score. The lift was manufactured by the now-defunct company Yann and was the only gondola ever constructed by the brand. Built for Keystone, Colorado, it was in 6 NOVEMBER 8, 2018

operation from 1982 to 1984 before being deemed unsafe and scrapped. There are probably only a handful of Yann gondola cabins left on the planet and No. 80 is one of them.

It is just one of the physical manifestations of Finger’s obsession — one that he never planned to turn into a career — with old lifts. But the machinist by trade and lifetime skier and snowboarder finally WINTER SCENE ’18

got sick of working in fabrication shops and decided to strike out on his own. His plan, born during an evening partying and conversing with friends was simple: He’d find old chairs from lifts and repurpose them for residential use. The gondola cabin from Keystone is merely his latest project, now completed and mounted on a street-legal trailer so it can be towed to parties and other events.

Old 80 is ready to rock. “You should have seen how stoked the State Patrol guys were when we took it to get registered and licensed,” he says.

“They’d never seen anything like it!

We hope that people will be stoked to rent it for their event or other happening, because we think it’s awesome!”

Finger’s other projects are usually repurposed from defunct chairlifts across the country. Not only because they make great benches or porch swings but also because there are a lot to choose from. The past two years in particular have been a bonanza on the local front, with nearby ski areas Eldora and Loveland retiring long-running lifts and Finger getting his hands on the goods.

Being able to score locally is highly beneficial for Finger. While chair lifts may appear to be light and airy when you are riding them, these are actually solid — and heavy — items.

A single triple chair, for example, can weigh more than 200 pounds and, due to the awkward shape, takes a minimum of two strong people to wrestle it into the back of a pickup truck.

Getting a chair down to Boulder isn’t easy and then there’s also the challenge of moving the finished projects into a client’s home or onto their property.

While Finger has been known to drive several days to chase down rumors of a historically significant chair or gondola car stashed in a field and overgrown by weeds — “I love dragging old lifts out of I

Materials with integrity:

A

shirt isn’t just a shirt. It’s a series of cut fabrics — which are made of hundreds of thousands of woven or knitted textile fibers — all held together by threads. Every component in a shirt plays a role, whether it’s structural or a design aesthetic, meaning each fiber and thread is important, too. And when you consider the environmental impact of the manufacturing process, all these components add up.

Whether silk, cotton, hemp or bamboo, textile sourcing and production takes a tremendous toll on the planet. So we did some research. We scoured the apparel industry for companies doing the best possible work for the environment in terms of materials — all the parts that add up to make the whole. From recycled wool jackets to bodysuits made from plastic bottles to organic cotton T-shirts you’ll want to wear everyday, these are our top picks, researched and put to the test by our team of go-getters.

gear guide

• Wool

n PATAGONIA

Woolyester Fleece jacket: Patagonia is striving for a zero-waste apparel industry. Nearly half of this jacket is constructed from recycled wool, and the rest is a polyester-nylon blend that can be recycled to make future jackets. It’s also Fair Trade Certified sewn, a supply chain practice that promotes worker health and safety in addition to social and environmental compliance in its Thailand production factories.

n CONNER HANDMADE HATS

Mt. Warning Wool Hat: Made entirely from cruelty-free Australian wool, this hat embodies Conner Handmade Hats’ motto: “responsibly grown, beautifully made.” It’s also crushable, waterproof and UPF 50+, making it a perfect addition to your weekend camping bag, in addition to featuring an organic cotton inner band for maximum comfort.

• Synthetics n COSTA

Victoria and Pescador sunglasses: Considering these frames are constructed from 100 percent recycled fishing nets, you can think of them as more than just sunglasses. They’re providing a tangible solution to help reduce plastic pollution. With polarized lenses and a fashion-forward design, Costa recently released these models as part of its expansive “Untangled Collection.”

n GIRLFRIEND COLLECTIVE

Silverlake Bodysuit: Made from recycled fishnets and other waste materials that can end up in the ocean, this bodysuit helps keep sea animals alive and the ocean clean. All that in addition to cutting out the need for raw materials like crude oil, which are traditionally used in the production of nylon. Girlfriend claims this one suit conserved 5.09 ounces of oil, 1.54 pounds of carbon emissions and 3.26 kilowatts of energy compared to a traditional nylon bodysuit.

• Silk

n PATAGONIA

n EVERLANE

Silent Down: This wind-proof, weather-resistant and insulated jacket is stuffed with 100 percent reclaimed and recycled duck and goose down (that’s also hypoallergenic). On top of that, the outer finish is made from 70 percent recycled polyester with a two-way mechanical stretch that’s bluesignapproved, ensuring the highest level of consumer and worker safety while minimizing impacts on people and the environment.

The Clean Silk Notch Shirt: From toxic dyes to energy waste, conventional silk production can wreak havoc on the environment.

Since its inception, Everlane has always worked to reduce its impact on the planet and human health in as many ways as possible. In launching the “Clean Silk” line, Everlane partnered with a bluesign-certified dyehouse that’s safe for workers and produces less chemical output, and a LEED-certified production factory that emits less carbon, less waste and is more efficient.

NOVEMBER 8, 2018 9

• Cotton n TOAD & CO

Ranchero Quarter Zip: In 2018, Toad & Co reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 51 tons — that’s enough to drive 150,000 miles. To do this, the company used organic cotton, recycled fibers and other sustainable, efficient materials in its apparel lines. This flannel is made from 100-percent organic cotton and is deliciously soft, falling right in line with Toad & Co’s mission: “Inspire people to live their fullest lives through socially and environmentally committed clothes, that look and fit as well as they function, from the trail to the tavern and everywhere in between.”

n KOTN

Essential Crew: “Quality essentials, ethically made” is the name of the game for Kotn, a company that was started in order to help rebuild the Egyptian cotton industry, which has suffered severely with the rise of conventional corporations opting for cheaper options. The raw fibers are sourced directly from Egyptian cotton farmers in the Nile Delta and the textiles are made in a cut-and-sew factory outside Alexandria by local employees.

• Bamboo n FREEFLY APPAREL

• Hemp n JUNGMAVEN

Lorel Tee and 100% Hemp Tee: For its apparel lines, Jungmaven uses hemp grown without the use of irrigation, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or GMO seeds. These hemp tees are so light and breathable, you might forget you’re wearing them — not necessarily a bad thing, considering hemp is naturally antimicrobial, moisture-wicking and fast-drying. If that wasn’t cool enough on its own, in 2010, founder Rob Jungmann launched “HEMP 2020,” a campaign that’s still running strong, raising awareness around the positive environmental impacts of hemp farming.

10 NOVEMBER 8, 2018

I

Bamboo Midweight Long Sleeve: The right thing outweighs the easy thing in Freefly’s books, so bamboo was the perfect solution when the company went looking for sustainable and high-performing natural fibers. Freefly’s bamboo is sourced from sustainable forests in central China that require no pesticides or fertilizers. Once the bamboo is spun into a fine yarn, the products are cut and sewn in Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production facilities. Good for frigid winter excursions to summer boating adventures alike, this is a long-sleeved layer you can trust.

WHITEFISH, MONTANA

BY SONYA PEVZNER

LOCATED JUST MINUTES from Glacier National Park, Whitefish is gorgeous and one of Montana’s premiere destination ski towns. With affordable lift ticket prices, unbeatable Rocky Mountain snow, and ski runs you can see from downtown, you’ll love exploring this outdoor treasure-trove.

Fly in to Glacier International Airport, or for a slower and more scenic trip, take the Amtrak train directly into the historic Whitefish train depot.

n Friday Settle in & Shop 10 A.M.

Head to your lodging to settle in. For a taste of mountain charm, book one of the Whitefish Mountain Cabins, which sleep six people. With a 30-second commute to the ski slopes, private fire pit and hot tub, you’ll stay cozy and warm after a long snowy day. Catch a ride on the free SNOW bus, which runs through town and up to the trails, to check out the historic downtown and shopping. Drop in at the Going To The Sun Gallery and shop for local nature-inspired art.

History & Beer 1 P.M.

Check out the Stumptown Historical Society Museum, which is located inside a restored train depot, then head to the Great Northern Brewing Company for a warm-up. Try the Big Mountain Tea Pale Ale or the Going to the Sun IPA for a taste as good as a big day on the mountain.

Get Cozy 6 P.M.

Head back up the mountain for an early dinner reservation at the French-inspired Cafe Kandahar. Try the 6-course tasting menu and wine pairing, with delicacies like Foie Gras served with pork cracklings and microgreens.

I

n Saturday Early Start 8 A.M.

Check out the snow conditions from your window as you eat breakfast in the sunny kitchen of your mountain cabin.

When you’re ready to go, just walk out the door!

Big Mountain Day 9 A.M.

With 3,000 acres of skiable terrain, 94 runs and 14 lifts, you won’t get bored finding new runs. With a variety of runs from beginner to advanced, you’ll spend all day discovering the local secret — powdery, peaceful tree glades and steep runs. Make friends on the lift and ask for directions to hidden forest trails, which offer good visibility even in a whiteout.

Lunch with Locals 1 P.M.

For a quick pick-me-up, stop at one of the many coffee bars for hot chocolate or an adult beverage. Try the Caribou Cocoa — hot cocoa with butterscotch schnapps and Bailey’s. At lunch, hit up the Bierstube for an old-timey joint full of locals enjoying a burger and a beer.

Apres Ski Under the Lights 4 P.M.

Stop at Ed and Mully’s for a casual dinner, then stay for drinks and live music.

n Sunday Brunch 10 A.M.

After a full day on the slopes, enjoy sleeping in at your cozy cabin. Head for brunch at the historic Belton Chalet, an early 1900’s log lodge, for farm-to-table dining and an impressively large bloody Mary bar to ease you into the day.

Snowy Wonderland 1 P.M.

With jaw-dropping views and welcoming Montanan hospitality, ending your trip at the Bar W guest ranch is a must.

Take a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through snowy woodlands and open fields, and bring an adult beverage to enjoy while you ride. Cozy up with blankets, then warm up with a hot drink after.

Travel Safe & Come Back 7 P.M.

Catch your return trip home, then start browsing weekend deals — after enjoying Montana’s small-town charm, mountain views and skiing under the lights, you’ll be planning your return trip before you’ve unpacked your bags.

Why stop when the sun goes down? Enjoy night skiing under the lights long after the regular crowds clear out.

BOULDER WEEKLY

TASTINGS OF COMFORT AND JOY Chefs’ seasonal dishes are designed to melt the frigid season

BY JOHN LEHNDORFF

E

veryone needs to get a little “hygge” this time of year.

The Oxford Dictionary defines hygge as “a quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.” To the Danes, the term encompasses the warmth of candlelight and fireplaces, getting cozy under blankets, great music, a glass of wine and time with people you care about.

When it comes to food, hygge — pronounced (hoo-ga) — means sharing familiar dishes that give your insides a warm, convivial hug as the thermometer plummets and daylight dwindles. These are foods served hot, often stewed, roasted, baked or simmered with winter seasonings. Fat is almost always involved.

Comfort doesn’t have to be homemade.

Sometimes cozy means escaping cabin fever and dining out without having to cook or clean. Boulder County chefs have filled their menus with diverse dishes using seasonal ingredients.

Here are a few of my current favorites:

Crispy Chicken Confit

Comfort comes in many guises. At Shine, chef Jessica Emich takes locally raised chicken and cures it in ginger and sea salt before poaching it in duck fat until crispy, but not greasy. It’s matched with yucca fries and kale that’s creamed with coconut milk and cashews, and sparked by housepickled peppers. Wash it down with The Sorceress, a winter sipper featuring vanilla, chamomile, marshmallow root, cardamom, coconut milk and some reviving vitamin B12.

Shine Restaurant & Potion Bar, 2480 Canyon Blvd., Boulder, shineboulder.com

Pan-Seared New Bedford Scallops

At Bradford Heap’s Wild Standard restaurant, fresh Atlantic scallops are seared until they have a golden caramelized crust. The sweet seafood is complemented by ingredients made for each other: roast-

ed Boulder County organic butternut squash and smoked bacon. A soothing pan sauce of shallots, champagne vinegar and housemade crème fraîche brings the dish together.

Wild Standard, 1043 Pearl St., Boulder, wildstandard.com

French Onion Soup

A dish doesn’t have to be new to be comfy, especially on those cold, sunny days. It figures that a place like the Cheese Importer’s Warehouse — stacked floor-to-ceiling with fromage — would craft a great onion soup. At the company’s Bistrot des Artistes cafe, broth thick with sautéed onions is crowned with an island of toasted baguette and sizzled Gruyere cheese.

Cheese Importers Warehouse, 103 Main St., Longmont, cheeseimporters.com

Kadai Paneer

Saag Paneer — creamed spinach with pieces of chewy cheese — is part of the “hygge” food hall of fame. Louisville’s authentic Bawarchi Biryanis also serves Kadai Paneer, a wonderful variation with paneer cheese simmered in a soothing cashew gravy with raisins. Best eaten with a stack of garlic naan.

Balance it out with Avakaya Chicken Biryani, a complex basmati rice preparation with palate-perking salty mango pickle.

Bawarchi Biryanis, 390 McCaslin Blvd., Louisville, bawarchilouisville.com

Bananas Foster for Two

Escape the big chill by going seriously old school.

The Greenbriar Inn is a classic, fireplace-warmed destination for an evening out. For a grand finale, sign up for the Bananas Foster performance. Working tableside, a waiter combines bananas, butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, honey and dark rum into a confection that is spectacularly flamed before topping vanilla bean ice cream. May we suggest a glass of port?
