sledding-2

Loving that snow? Maybe today is a great day to go sledding. There are some great sledding hills in Boulder! Check out these locations for some of the best sledding around:

Scott Carpenter Park: This is a mellow, fun slope for the kids, but adults enjoy it too!

Tantra Park [Just South of 46th and Hanover]: This sledding hill can get incredibly packed and at places it is steep.

Foothills Community Park: There are some great, low angle slopes here for kids and adults.

Where do you like to go sledding?

Boulder City Council Approves 100 Percent Clean Electricity by 2030

BOULDER, Colo. – Last night [December 6, 2016], the Boulder City Council approved a measure to transition to 100 percent clean, renewable electricity by 2030. The Council considered the move as a major step toward reaching the city’s longer-term goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by the year 2050.

Sarah Huntley, the city’s deputy director of communications, said Boulder is taking conservation efforts, which typically ask people to use less energy, in a different direction.

“What we’re trying to do is shift to renewable and clean electricity, away from fossil fuels that have harmful greenhouse gas emissions and toward cleaner renewable sources that we actually could use in abundance, if we have been able to make this transformation,” she explained.

Love Hiking? Don’t Let Winter Stop You!

Love Hiking? Don’t Let Winter Stop You!

What to Bring on a Winter Hike

When hiking in the summer, we often skip out onto the trails with nothing but a bottle of water in hand. Winter hiking, on the other hand, demands that you come prepared with a few key items for your comfort and safety. Whether you’re planning a short 2-mile jaunt or a daylong trek, remember the old adage, “Better safe than sorry!” Here is a basic list to get you going:

  • Plenty of water and snacks as needed
  • Extra pair of socks
  • Extra pair of foot traction
  • Fully-charged cell phone with NOAA weather app
  • Water and other supplies for your pet(s) if they are joining you
  • A map of the area
  • Trekking poles for balance and stability (optional)
  • A hiking partner (recommended)

That last one can be a bit controversial in the hiking and mountaineering community. We know that some of you love your solo hikes and climbs, but it goes without saying that having a partner along for the ride is safer than going it alone. This is particularly true in the wintertime. Consider it, especially if you’ll be far out in the backcountry or tackling a daylong trip.
