Loc al Love Issue: Hea rd It Through the Grape Vine
- Julie S.
Lifestyle Love Letter
Dear Readers,
Durango has a way of weaving itself into your soul. It’s in the glow of the San Juan Mountains at sunset, the chatter of the Animas River carving its timeless path, and the shared smiles of neighbors on Main Avenue. This is more than a place—it’s a community rooted in connection, adventure, and a fierce love for all things local.
In this issue, we celebrate the heartbeat of Durango: its people, places, and stories. From the artisans crafting one-of-a-kind goods to the farmers nurturing our local food systems, Durango thrives on the passion of those who call it home. Whether you’re sipping a locally brewed pint, hiking a favorite trail, or exploring hidden gems downtown, there’s a story behind every corner.
This magazine is a tribute to the small businesses that fuel our economy, the artists who inspire us, and the stewards of our land who ensure Durango’s beauty endures. It’s about embracing the spirit of “local love”—supporting, preserving, and uplifting the community that makes this corner of Colorado truly special.
As you flip through these pages, I hope you’re reminded of why you love Durango. Perhaps it’s the way the seasons paint our landscape, the joy of connecting with friends at a community event, or the unspoken bond we share as locals who care deeply about this place. Whatever it may be, Durango belongs to all of us—and it’s our collective love that keeps it vibrant. Here’s to celebrating all that makes Durango extraordinary.

Intricacies of a Ski Bum
LOCAL AUTHOR HEATHER HANSMEN SHARES THE INTRICACIES OF A FLEETING DREAM IN HER BOOK POWDER DAYS.
ARTICLE BY KALISTA PEÑA | PHOTOGRAPHY BY HANADY KADER
Winter in Colorado is like a blank canvas—white to start, later carved with lines that mimic brushstrokes. Snowcapped peaks allure many; they beckon freedom for some, fun for others, and danger to all. A dream, a vision—a ski bum’s fantasy.
Each year, thousands flock to the slopes to partake in the renaissance of their beloved mountain sports. Such enchanting beauty and thrilling adventure yet, upon further investigation, an illusory reality.
Heather Hansman, a Durango, Colorado local, captures the essence of this reality in her book, Powder Days: Ski Bums, Ski Towns, and the Future of Chasing Snow. Drawing from personal anecdotes and journalistic research, Hansman unveils the unspoken truths and tough realities of the ski bum lifestyle. She questions its sustainability in light of today’s climate crisis and economic inequality while celebrating the beauty of its tight-knit community and cherished memories.
Hansman wonders what her life would have been like if she never left—if she had continued to chase the dream. In the introduction, she writes, “It was me chasing me chasing the dream, trying to understand my obsession.” Yet, like any other form of obsession, this chase is constant and unending. She states, “There’s something really cool about the lack of gravity and going downhill fast that is beautiful.” Similarly, “you see bikers in town who are also after that chase. And I think there is value in that, but…it’s really complicated.”
Part of this complexity lies in understanding the mind of a ski bum and their ability to prioritize skiing over other essential elements of life, such as health, family, and finances. In her research, Hansman found that this “obsessive nature” has a lot to do with mental health and brain science. Her findings clarified why people kept chasing that “thing.” Ski bums may “live in a finite shack with eight roommates to go skiing, even though it doesn’t make sense.” For them, where you lay your head at night pales in comparison to the adventures that await tomorrow.
Some studies support the notion of obsessive tendencies in ski sports. Hansman explains, “There is brain science behind it. Some people are what they call ‘Higher Sensation Seekers,’ meaning they need more physical inputs to stabilize themselves… Skiing sorta fills the void for them in ways other things can’t.” For some, the freedom felt during a fast downhill descent offers reprieve from many of life’s anxieties.
Another major topic Hansman highlights is economic inequality. Skiing, she argues, is “a microcosm of what’s happening economically across the country.” In these ski towns, the top 1% wield the power to make decisions that shape the future. Everyone else struggles to keep up, often working in towns they can’t afford to live in. Hansman notes, “The divide is really stark.”
Powder Days is a nostalgic yet critical look into the ski bum lifestyle and the intricacies of its culture. This book serves as a catalyst for conversations about issues that directly impact our community.
“That was one of the questions at the core of it, what if I hadn’t left? What would my life be like 15 years in?”

Driving down Main Street in our small town can feel like strolling through an art exhibit. The La Plata mountains create a gorgeous backdrop, surrounding our valley. The many murals painted along street buildings illustrate the creativity that thrives in this community. Every few months, a new mural appears around town, adding to the whimsical personality of Durango. The creative spirit lives within our youth as well; La Plata Youth Services (LPYS) aims to share the artistic talents and expressions of young people at the annual Unchain My HeART Art Showcase.
Founded in 1994, LPYS provides crucial services to youth facing challenges at home, in school, and in the justice system. By building resilience, confidence, and connections, the organization supports students through a diversion program that steers youth away from the criminal justice system toward restorative justice options aimed at repairing harm to self, family, and community. It also provides mentoring, school-based mental health services, and fosters community partnerships to further support students. With a commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed programming, LPYS empowers young people to overcome barriers and thrive as engaged members of the community.
Jason St. Mary, the Executive Director of LPYS and HUB Program Director, said this showcase is “another way to honor and celebrate the creativity, the talent, and the uniqueness of the young people in our communities.” Youth can submit multiple pieces of their art to the showcase and price their work with the hope of selling it. All the profit from the artwork is given back to the artist. “When students sell a piece, there is so much pride that comes in for them… it is just another way to bolster the voices of young people through artistic means,” said St. Mary. Confidence and self-worth is one of the protective factors highlighted in the strategies and work of LPYS’s programs.
This event is also one of the largest fundraisers for LPYS. The silent auction has fantastic items donated by local organizations and businesses. Donors also provide food and drinks for the event. Last year, the talented mixologist Roberto Delgado Reyes from El Moro Tavern made mocktails, and youth bands from iAM MUSIC entertained with live music. This event is a community effort and made all the better with the support of locals. All the proceeds go back to LPYS and its programs.
create artwork and be their authentic selves. “It gives them a chance to come in, hang out, have some free pizza, and do some artwork,” she said. Mestas also highlights that this event is “a chance for [our youth] to feel good about the artwork they do” and attend an art show that is specifically for them. She beams as she says, “It’s great to see them with their smiles on their faces when they come into the art show and realize that their art piece is gone… they are so excited!” Moments like these highlight the value of the work.
Support young people and celebrate, harness, and see what’s emanating from their creative minds and spaces.
St. Mary speaks about the intentionality behind LPYS’s efforts: “When we say we want all students to thrive, that’s what we really mean— not just the ones who look like me but those who have been marginalized and oppressed for generations. It’s a big piece of why we do what we do and the intentionality of how we do that. So, through strategic partnerships and innovative programming, we are very intentional with how and where we serve young people.”
Jennifer Mestas, LPYS Office Manager, encourages everyone to come out and show their support for our young artists! Unchain My HeART Showcase is “for people in our community to see what these youth can do and how artistic they are,” she states. Mestas helps organize art workshops throughout the year, providing the space for young people to
Celebrating its 30th year, LPYS’s impact continues to grow, thanks to its holistic, supportive approach to youth development. “Providing culturally responsive and trauma-informed programming is the essence and the core of who we are,” St. Mary emphasizes.
Unchain My HeART Showcases on February 21st from 4-7 at the FLC Center for Innovation on the 2nd floor of the Main Mall, 835 Main Ave Suite 225, Durango, CO 81301. Get your tickets early at lpys.org/unchainmyheart

Heard It Through the Grape Vine
RESEARCH AND
SIP-PREMACY FOCAL
POINTS AT THE ARBORETUM WINERY
ARTICLE BY JENNIFER MASON
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ELIZABETH PHILBRICK, RI GANEY, & PAIGE SPARKS
Elizabeth Philbrick strode across a vast field: one half lined with young grapevines, the other with newly planted apple trees. She approached her husband, Jared Scott, who stood facing a sunset quenching the horizon with hazy bands of golden Gewürztraminer and blushing red Baco Noir. He could almost see the wines he and his wife dreamed of producing at their budding winery if…
So many ifs.
Jared turned at the soft rustle of footsteps. Were Elizabeth’s eyes wet from tears?
“Do we have to shut down?” he choked out the dreaded question.
For nearly a year, the co-owners of EsoTerra Ciderworks had endured a deluge of bureaucratic hurdles, trying to get their 70-acre lot on the Florida Mesa approved for use as both an orchard producing winelike ciders and a research-focused winery specializing in arid climate grape varieties. The concept, dubbed The Arboretum , was radically unique—too radical, it seemed, for conventional permitting processes. Meanwhile, expenditures were piling up. Without a miracle, they’d have to shutter EsoTerra, lay off its employees, and abandon the winery project entirely.
In answer to Jared’s question, Elizabeth shook her head. “The crowdfunding worked. We can keep going!”
The couple embraced. They had turned to the community and donors far and wide to help bring the winery to fruition. Contributions flooded in. Just days later, the approvals process concluded, and construction could begin on the winery’s new tasting room and production facility.
“The Colorado Wine Development Board has named the southwest corridor of Colorado the future of wine-growing,” Elizabeth declares while tucked in a cozy chair during a rare break at EsoTerra. She points
out that, among the five amazing wineries currently on Main Street, The Arboretum will be the only Durangobased winery that grows 100% of its fruit locally—or, more accurately, just 15 minutes from town.
She describes The Arboretum with effervescent enthusiasm, envisioning its glass walls overlooking a botanical garden and the mountains. The venue will host tours, private events, and gatherings, including plein air painting, weddings, yoga on the lawn, RC boat races for kids, a Kentucky Derby party—did somebody say donkey festival?
But there’s still plenty to tackle. So far, they’ve planted 2,000 grapevines across about 40 varieties and 250 varieties of apple trees. Such a diverse collection of woody species justifies the winery’s moniker. More importantly, these crops will serve as a research facility where universities can test the viability of different grape species in southwest Colorado. Discovering new growing regions for various staple crops is increasingly crucial as climate change disrupts once-reliable agricultural areas.
While Jared remains at the helm of cidermaking, the winery will tap the grape-wine expertise of agriculturalist, viticulturalist, and vinologist Robert Freeman. Freeman’s task is no small feat: he must craft exceptional wines from interspecific varieties without relying on pesticides or fining agents, which are common additives used to improve a wine’s body and flavor. Additionally, 15 of The Arboretum’s grape varieties have never before been planted in Colorado. Elizabeth notes, “There’s maybe three or four vineyards across the whole country planting these grapes!”
With a soft opening planned for March 2025, Elizabeth and Jared are thrilled to offer locals the first look—and taste—of The Arboretum . “When we were down and out, right when we were deciding whether to stay open or close, this community gave us CPR!”
“When we were down and out, right when we were deciding whether to stay open or close, this community gave us CPR!”

IN GRAVITY LAB’S INDOOR CLIMBING GYM, FUN AND TRANSFORMATION ARE RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
BELAYED GRATIFICATION
The rock climbers inched toward the summit of Colorado’s Mount Blue Sky (formerly known as Mount Evans). They tiptoed along ledges no wider than a dime, wedging their fingers into stony cracks and ascending higher with every move—defying gravity itself. Suddenly,
industrial building on Durango’s outskirts. They put out a call for helpers in 2022, and locals turned out in force for the demolition party. Others acted as patrons, purchasing annual memberships for an indoor climbing gym that wasn’t even built yet.
“ANYBODY BRAND NEW TO CLIMBING CAN […] HAVE A REALLY FUN, POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.”
Sebastiaan Zuidweg noticed ghostly spiderwebs crackling through the air. The metal gear clipped to his clothes begins to hum with electric energy. A massive storm sweeps abruptly over the summit.
“It just unleashed on us. It was snow, hail, sleet, and a lightning storm. It was terrifying!” Sebastiaan recounts the harrowing experience with wide eyes. With a rueful headshake, he concludes, “Everyone lived.”
But Sebastiaan, a lifelong climber, knows that a tango with high-stakes danger is not (necessarily) the goal of the sport. Instead, he explains, “There’s this real applicable, metaphorical experience of overcoming your obstacles and challenges and maybe facing your fear. And it’s not so much a physical challenge; it’s more mental.”
Because rock climbing is so transformational, Sebastiaan and his wife and climbing partner, Laura, decided to build a crag inside a massive
“The community deserves some credit for our success and for helping us out,” Sebastiaan affirms.
Today, Gravity Lab serves up a 6,300-square-foot playground packed with 130 different bouldering and rope routes, as well as weight and cardio training equipment and yoga classes. The gym offers a bountiful selection of courses, clinics, youth programs, league competitions, and adaptive programs for people with disabilities.
“I think there’s a misconception that climbing is scary, that it’s only for really strong upper-bodied people, and that it’s dangerous. But it’s not. Climbing is for everybody,” Sebastiaan declares, noting that inclusivity is a core value within Gravity Lab’s mission. “We’ve got people of all ages, sizes, and types that climb here. You’ll see brand-new climbers mingling very seamlessly with really strong, expert climbers. It’s a pretty open and welcoming community.”
CONTINUED >
Sebastiaan took up climbing as a teenager. Growing up in Washington state, he was innately outdoorsy, but when he and his brother took an outdoor education class that included climbing—at that time a newer sport, relatively unknown and largely mysterious—Sebastiaan was hooked! Every crag or tower taught him how to convert impossibilities into opportunities. He climbed throughout his college years in Boulder, worked as a climbing instructor for youth programs, and wove the benefits of climbing into as many sectors of his life as possible. “That’s how I met my wife. We were both climbing partners first before we started dating. She worked as a climbing guide for a long time in Crested Butte. And most of my friends are in the climbing community. Like-minded people. Like-hearted people,” he says, grinning.
The more Sebastiaan climbed, the more he noticed evidence of profound and surprising self-improvement. “For me as a kid, it was a way to practice mindfulness, self-awareness, and linking my brain with my body,” Sebastiaan says.
Ultimately, he realized that climbing trains mental, emotional, and physical muscles. Sebastiaan describes climbing as a slow sport, akin to doing tai chi while dangling from a cliff. Learning to navigate routes—in the wilderness or in the gym—promotes crucial bilateral brainbody connections. It demands focus and develops better balance.
…CLIMBING TRAINS MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND
PHYSICAL
MUSCLES.
With so many wide-ranging benefits to be gleaned from rock climbing, Gravity Lab naturally partners extensively with local schools, homeschools, adaptive sports organizations, veterans’ groups, and corporate entities—any one of which might be looking to cultivate physical fitness, team-building, effective communication, and dynamic social-emotional skill sets. Of course, visitors need not undertake a deep, transformational journey of the soul when visiting the gym. Anyone can show up and simply have a blast ascending the brightly colored crimps, slopers, and jugs dotting the walls. Additionally, the entire gym can be rented out for private birthday bashes or staff retreats.
“Anybody brand-new to climbing can come in here and, on their first day, pretty quickly have a really fun, positive experience,” Sebastiaan says.
Over the next two years, a planned expansion will double the height of the gym’s climbing walls. For Sebastiaan, Gravity Lab’s growth is a clear sign that the community is ready for a full send— that is, people are eager to overcome their limits and seize new opportunities.

THE SCOTTSDALE LURE OF
The endless skies of blue are interrupted only by cacti rising majestically from the ground, arms reaching skyward, and palm trees, which are often adorned by lights that twinkle when the sun sets. There are vistas of open desert, rising mountains, and even the lush green of the locale’s many golf courses. And, of course, there are the vibrant shopping, dining, art, and event scenes, too.
Scottsdale is a city located in Metro Phoenix in Arizona, which as a whole is nicknamed “The Valley of the Sun” for its more than 330 days of sun each year—one of the reasons the area is a draw for visitors. With few rainy days, it’s easy to plan your daily activities without worry. Yes, though, the summer gets hot. But the rest of the year? Perfection.
Scottsdale is a mix of a resort destination, city, and suburbs, with more open desert the further north you venture.
To the south is Downtown Scottsdale—also known as Old Town Scottsdale—which is a mix of old Southwestern charm

(including the legendary cowboy saloon, Rusty Spur Saloon); modern eateries from famed chefs; lots of shopping at small boutiques and specialty shops; the Arts District , which is filled with art galleries; and even tasting rooms from Arizona wineries located along the famed Scottsdale Wine Trail
Nearby is Scottsdale Fashion Square , one of the nation’s premier shopping destinations. While you’ll find many usual retailers there, there are also more than 40 luxury brands, including Christian Louboutin, Bottega Veneta, and Louis Vuitton.
Heading north are open-air shopping destinations Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons , which sit across the street from each other. Take the afternoon or evening to stroll through, exploring the shops, restaurants, and activity destinations such as the indoor mini-golf destination Puttshack . What else is there to see and do? Plenty.
FROM RELAXATION TO SHOPPING TO GOLF TO SIGHTSEEING, THIS DESTINATION HAS IT ALL

PLAY
Like golf? There are more than 200 golf courses in the Scottsdale area. Whether you’re a pro or just starting out, there is a course for you. One of the most popular in the area is the TPC Scottsdale as it is the locale of the WM Phoenix Open, the most-attended golf tournament in the world.
For most of the year, Scottsdale boasts warm temperatures, making spending a day splashing in a pool a perfect choice. Many local resorts have pool areas that feature fun extras such as water slides, lazy rivers, and even a cooled sand beach. And even if you’re not an on-site guest, you can often purchase a day pass to be on-site through ResortPass.com.
Of course, there’s also plenty of outdoor recreation in Scottsdale. Pinnacle Peak in North Scottsdale is a popular mountain to hike (as is the iconic Camelback Mountain, which is located in nearby Phoenix), and the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt is a park and trail system spread over 11 miles. Kids love McCormickStillman Railroad Park , which boasts a small-scale train that circles the park and plenty of play areas.
A destination filled with numerous attractions is A rizona Boardwalk , a center that includes Butterfly Wonderland , OdySea Aquarium , Ripley’s Believe It or Not! , Museum of Illusions , and more.
CULTURE
The beauty of Scottsdale’s Sonoran Desert led famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), to build Taliesin West , his winter home and desert laboratory, in a mountainside in East Scottsdale. Today, there are daily tours of the UNESCO World Heritage site, and events are offered often.
However, Wright’s architecture isn’t the only art in the area. Beyond the Arts District in Downtown Scottsdale, there is public art all around the city, from sculptures to murals, so definitely keep your eyes open!
There are also museums such as Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West , a Smithsonian Affiliate, which showcases items from the Greater Western region, and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art , affectionately known as SMoCA.
On Thursday evenings, there’s a free public ArtWalk in the Arts District, where galleries stay open later. Wander the streets and galleries, often against a backdrop of live music and even artist appearances.
NEARBY
While there’s so much to do, see, and experience in Scottsdale proper, there’s also much to see nearby. Make sure to experience the Musical Instrument Museum (affectionately known as the MIM), which is the world’s only global instrument museum. Desert Botanical Garden features an array of desert plants, and Phoenix Art Museum has an impressive collection of art. And, of course, the Phoenix Zoo is a perfect place for both kids and adults alike.
