Dart Warz By Tabatha Stewart
A
lmost eight years ago, Stanton Wilkerson and his wife hosted an “Overnight” birthday party at their home, where they hosted Nerf wars for the young party-goers. They played for four hours, then woke up and played for another six hours, before kids reluctantly were picked up by their parents. The experience sparked an idea in Wilkerson—what if he could create an indoor battlefield where players of all ages could engage in Nerf play whenever they wanted? Dart Warz became a reality, and after months of renting spaces and orchestrating games, Wilkerson, who is now CEO a.k.a “Nerf Ninja”, took a leap of faith and quit his day job to pursue starting a new industry. “It was exciting to pursue something I was passionate about,” said Wilkerson. “But I was a little nervous that I might not have enough work but now we are going to lead this industry with franchising in 2019.” Wilkerson needn’t have worried, as Dart Warz, America’s First Indoor Foam Dart Arena, proved to be wildly popular, and he has never looked back. “Hands down, I’m convinced this is one of the best avenues for birthday parties, family reunions, team building exercises and family bonding time,” said Wilkerson. Family involvement, interaction and fostering good sportsmanship and integrity have always been part of Dart Warz’ culture, and Wilkerson and his staff ensure every participant not only has fun, but is held to the
highest standards of fair play. Dart Warz is accommodating to people of all abilities and disabilities, and, according to Wilkerson, helps build character. “We have referees who really hold players accountable. Players learn anger management and integrity, as well as teamwork while having fun,” said Wilkerson. Dart Warz has mastered the art of organizing chaos, which, according to Wilkerson, makes the experience more fun and enjoyable for all players. “It’s like a live show meets a sport, an experience instead of an attraction with a culture that is addicting” said Wilkerson. “When you are playing here, with the music and the other players, you become so present in the moment, that you forget about troubles in your life.”

Dashing
Snow THROUGH THE
Family Snowmobiling in Colorado By R. Scott Rappold
Dashing through the snow on a one-horse open sleigh - what better way could there be to spend a day with the family in the Colorado Rocky Mountains?
?
How about roaring through the snow with the power of 100 horses at your command 16

Snowmobiles are pretty easy to operate. It’s just gas, brakes and steering, but it does take some common sense and normal safety precautions...
S
nowmobiles are an exhilarating way to experience the majesty of the mountains in winter, of taking the family deep into the backcountry no matter their fitness level, where breathtaking views and solitude await. And let’s face it, gunning a roaring engine as you tear through snow-draped forests or chop up untouched powder is a heck of a lot of fun, too. “You’re at 12,000 feet and can cover miles and miles of ground that some people aren’t physically able to do without the use of a machine, be it health issues, the altitude, age, etc.,” says Carolyn Barbers, with Dillon-based Colorado ATV and Snowmobile Rentals and Tours (www.coloradosnowmobile.com). “The machine is doing all the work for you. It’s a good multi-generational sport. Everybody can participate. Whereas grandma’s not going to be skiing or backcountry skiing or snow-shoeing and you’re not going to take your small children on things like that, with snowmobiling you can.” And you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a snowmobile to do it. Throughout Colorado are companies like Barbers’ where you can give the family a memorable day for a fraction of the cost of buying a snowmobile (not to mention the trailer, safety gear, etc.) Forget about the image of snowmobiles as clunky tanks with a tendency to break down. Today’s machines are slick, fast and reliable, and anyone 14
over can drive one from her rental shop (with an adult in the back). “Snowmobiles are pretty easy to operate. It’s just gas, brakes and steering, but it does take some common sense and normal safety precautions,” says Barbers. “A lot of people have the impression you have to be an expert snowmobiler but that’s not the case.” Families unfamiliar with the sport or uncomfortable navigating and reading maps can book a guided tour, which at Colorado ATV and Snowmobile Rentals and Tours start at $170 for a single rider plus $55 per passenger, for two hours of riding through some of Colorado’s most stunning scenery high on Vail Pass, where the Rockies spread out in all directions in all their glory. Ready to strike out on your own and lead the family on an adventure? Most outfitters also offer unguided rentals, starting at $110 for an hour for a single rider, $135 for a double. You can set your own pace, explore wherever you want and choose your own snowy adventure. The outfitter will provide maps and directions. You can rent traditional snowmobiles for cruising the roads and groomed trails or high-performance machines for tracking up the deep powder. Just be warned: The kids may have so much fun you could find yourself buying a machine of your own before winter is over. Continued on page 18

What You’ll Need to Know Be sure to bring snow gear, including snow pants, underlayers, jackets, face masks, gloves and warm hats. Helmets are required and available for rent. And don’t forget sunscreen, food, water and your camera. Most snowmobile operators run whether it’s snowing or sunny, though hazards like high winds or avalanche danger can lead to cancellations. Don’t get left out in the cold. Be sure to book your trip well in advance. If riding your own snowmobile, it must be registered with Colorado State Parks, for $30 a year. Out-of-state visitors who bring their snowmobiles must buy a non-resident permit, also $30.
Where to Go Here are some of Colorado’s best snowmobiling areas. Keep in mind backcountry permits may be required at some areas. Rabbit Ears Pass This pass near Steamboat Springs, where the snow is so light and fluffy it’s where the phrase “champagne powder” was coined, offers a huge expanse of backcountry open to snowmobilers, 200 miles of trails and roads and endless opportunities for playing in the powder. This is remote, wild country, and even more so in winter. Rentals: Steamboat Snowmobile Tours (www.steamboatsnowmobile.com) Permits: Required, free, available at Dry Lake Parking area Grand Lake This town on the western edge of Rocky Mountain National Park claims the moniker ‘snowmobiling capital of Colorado’ for its 300 miles of groomed trails, running near town and deep into nearby national forests and even the national park. This town is bustling with tourists in summer but rather sleepy in winter, adding to its charm. You can even ride on snow-packed streets in town and on the lake. Rentals: Grand Adventures (www. grandadventures.com), Spirit Lake Lodge and Snowmobile Rentals (www.spiritlakelodge.com), On the Trail Rentals (www.onthetrailrentals.com) 18

Cottonwood Pass This pass crosses over the Continental Divide high above the Arkansas River town of Buena Vista. It’s closed to cars in winter, offering a great destination for both beginners and experts to cruise along snowy highways, explore rocky alpine bowls and drink in amazing views of the Sawatch and Elk Mountains. You can wrap up the day with a soak at Cottonwood or Mount Princeton hot springs. Rentals: All Season Adventures (www.allseasonrentals.com) Vail Pass This is one of Colorado’s most popular backcountry winter destinations, and for good reason. The Vail Pass Recreation Area spans 55,000 acres, much of it above timberline, in White River National Forest, where you’ll definitely get that top-of-the-world feeling. The easiest access is at the rest area along Interstate 70 at the top of the pass. It’s also a great place to go snowmobile skiing, using the machines to access untracked ski runs, but be sure to have proper avalanche gear and training. Rentals: Vail Snowmobile Tours (www.snowmobilevail.com), Nova Guides (www.novaguides.com) Permits: Required, $6, available at trailhead Georgia Pass This 11,585-foot pass over the Divide in Summit County is a spectacular place for winter riding. From Breckenridge it climbs through forests and meadows for playing to above timberline, with a total of 40 miles of trails and roads for your snowmobiling pleasure. The views of the Swan River Valley and Summit County are unparalleled. Rentals: Breckenridge Snowmobile Rentals (www.breckenridgesnowmobiling.com), Good Times Adventures (www.goodtimesadventures.com)

5 WAYS WARM UP TO
THIS WINTER By Kristen Beckman
Colorado is well known for its cold-weather activities from world-class skiing and snowboarding to snowshoeing, dog sledding and ice skating. But even those who love Colorado winters and all they have to offer sometimes dream of spring and warmer weather. Denver and its suburbs offer some great opportunities to warm up this winter with unique and fun activities ranging from soaking in a natural hot spring to cooking with your sweetheart. Check out some of these ideas for a little taste of summer in the middle of winter.

Soak in Nature’s Hot Tub Colorado’s mountains are home to dozens of natural hot springs that are open for a hot soak. Soaking in natural mineral water is believed to provide a variety of health benefits and foster relaxation. Many hot springs are operated by resorts that have created a variety of atmospheres and experiences around these naturally occurring mineral hot springs. For example, Indian Hot Springs in Idaho Springs, just a short drive from Denver, offers a mineral water pool enclosed in a translucent dome that encompasses flowering plants and live tropical trees for an island-like paradise in the middle of chilly mountain surroundings. The resort also offers geothermal caves that contain sunken, walk-in hot tubs filled with naturally hot mineral water and outdoor natural Jacuzzis. The Historic Hot Springs Loop is a great way to discover some of the best hot springs Colorado has to offer. The 720-mile loop begins in Denver and circles through Buena Vista, Salida, Pagosa Springs, Ouray, Glenwood Springs and Steamboat Springs. The loop features 19 facilities that offer unique features including vapor caves, hot pots, terraced pools, travertine formations and aquatic centers.
Go for a Float
Cook with your Sweetheart Go beyond dinner and a movie on your next date night with your spouse or significant other and learn how to cook a restaurant-quality meal at one of the many establishments offering couples cooking classes in the Denver area. “Winter is a great time to learn new things in the kitchen, especially when it’s too cold and snowy to grill,” said Katie Robbins, co-owner of Uncorked Kitchen in Centennial. “Date Night classes at Uncorked Kitchen are a great way for couples — new and old — to brush up on their kitchen skills and bond over cooking and good wine. Our classes make a great group-date outing as well.” Date Night classes are led by professional chefs who work with each couple to ensure both an amazing meal and memorable moments are being created. Uncorked Kitchen offers a wide variety of cooking styles and menus, including several designed to add warmth and spice to cold winter nights.
Nothing says warmth like a day at the beach, but without any oceans in Colorado, residents must find other creative ways to access the healing and relaxing properties of water. Salt water float therapy is gaining in popularity as a therapeutic way to address body aches, stress and anxiety. During a session, typically lasting an hour, the floater is submerged in a sound- and lightproof tank filled with salty water that delivers healing minerals to the body while allowing the mind to relax, stress to subside and relaxation to take over. “Float therapy is a great way to warm up this winter because not only is it soothing, but the body and brain are very powerful and if we just give them the time and space to do what they’re created to do, it’s pretty impressive how much can be accomplished in a short period of time,” said Lisa Lopez, owner of Healing Waters Float Studio in Westminster. “Depression and pain issues kick in during the darker and colder winter months and the float tank is one of the best tools out there to help us heal and face some of the more difficult times.” Continued on page 25

Grab a Cuppa High tea is an afternoon mainstay in Jolly Old England, but you don’t have to cross the pond to warm up with a nice cup of tea and some scones. Across Denver, a variety of cafes and tea houses offer the opportunity to expand your tea repertoire with a tea party, high tea or even just a cuppa on a cold day. “Come and enjoy a hot cup of tea and it will warm your body and soul when you drink tea with your friends in the relaxing atmosphere of our English Tea Café,” said Robert Ridge, owner of English Tealeaves in Parker. English Tealeaves offers 125 teas that you can choose from and delivers your chosen cup with a history of the tea variety. Enjoy your tea with traditional English fare, including soups, sandwiches on freshly baked French baguette bread, English style pies, quiches, and scones with English Devonshire cream and jam.

Do the Hokey Poké Virtually transport yourself to the islands when you try the latest food craze sweeping the country. Poké is a dish that has been served in Hawaii for nearly half a century, but it only has become popular on the mainland in the past five years. Poké bowls include chunks of raw, marinated fish – typically tuna or salmon—tossed with rice, vegetables, seaweed and sauces. Specialized restaurants focused on this customizable dish, sometimes called ‘sushi deconstructed,’ are popping up all over Denver.
