The approaching three-day President’s Day weekend offers warriors an extra day to play. The world is your oyster for an additional 24-hours, so make them count with some of our favorite Colorado activities.
For the romantics out there, (Valentine’s Day falls on Presidents Day weekend this year), pamper yourself at Woodhouse Day Spa in beautiful Castle Rock. Offering award-winning full day, half day, or just one hour treatments, you’ll leave feeling rejuvenated after being indulged at this luxury day spa. For Denverites, make it a staycation with Woodhouses’ convenient 17th street location. For more information, visit http://castlepines.woodhousespas.com/.
For the thrill seeker in you, ski with the pros (or at least near them) at Beaver Creek Ski Resort, during the final days of the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships that will wrap up February 15, 2015. Watch the action at the formidable Birds of Prey Racecourse, or hit the slopes yourself, breathing in the same alpine air as the likes of Lindsay Vaughn and Bode Miller.

For those seeking a more distant journey, venture to Silverton, for a do-not-miss Colorado pastime, Skijoring. Silverton’s 6th annual Skijoring Races take place at “high noon” February 14th and 15th on Silverton’s definitively ‘old West’ inspired Blair Street.
Watch brave ski-clad souls, drug via tow rope behind a galloping horse, with rider, through a snow-covered racecourse. The horseman attempts to capture suspended rings while the skier in tow careens over 8 foot high jumps. You have to see it to believe it. For more information, visit http://silvertonskijoring.com/.
