Hi Bryan,
From your "Colorado's Best Deals" Email Announcements subscription.
Winter is in full swing and the Fourteener Country ski areas (we don’t call them resorts) are in excellent shape! Many locals consider February the best month to ski because the snow conditions are consistently awesome. The Arkansas Valley snowpack is 114% of median, which skiers, snowboarders, snowshoers, and snowmobilers are enjoying daily.
Here are a few of the things coming up in February.

Live music & live painting |
Kort McCumber is an incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist, prolific songwriter, and gifted vocalist. While Kort is performing Colorado native Jesse Crock will paint an original piece during the show. Jesse’s pieces will be raffled off that night to directly support the Whitewater Winter Music Series, a fundraiser to benefit the Buena Vista Whitewater Park. You may recognize Jesse’s signature artwork on the Eddyline beer cans and throughout Eddyline Restaurant and Brew Pub.

Take a string band and swap out the fiddle player for a groovy drummer and you’re well on your way to understanding the sound of Oakhurst. Like all Whitewater Winter Music Series events there is $10 suggested donation at the door to support the Buena Vista Whitewater Park!
