VICIOUS CANDY MAGAZINE www.VICIOUSCANDY.com Preview Issue V C one for adrenaline myself, but there’s pushing it to the max and just pushing it to stupidity. You won’t be laughing long when you have no legs to stand on for awhile... or ever. If you’re inexperienced. Snowmass or Buttermilk may be more appropriate for you as they are more forgiving. Think that you’re fine without. Going down the mountain snowboarding or skiing is calorie intensive and the sun hits brighter reflection thanks to the snow on even the cloudiest days, so make sure you take care of number one. Which, amigo, is you. --DO --DO Take a day or two off. Pace wins the race. And while relaxing, take a visit to the Aspen Club & Spa to really unwind after a brutish day on the hill! Take in the other sights and sounds. Aspen has more than just snow and mountains. There is plenty other to do. With shopping, dining, and a whole load of other events right at your doorstep, it definitely makes that off day off the mountain, a much more enjoyable one. Try hiking in Castle Creek or if visiting in March there’s the Aspen Fashion Week you can go to. If you prefer more contemporary, you can visit the Baldwin Gallery as well to gander at some fine art. Or craving more adventure? You can do some outdoor rafting as well. --DON’T Overdo it instead. As stated above, don’t challenge yourself to something you are not ready for. In the same vein as you shouldn’t attempt Death Con Mountain Five, if you aren’t ready, you also shouldn’t attempt Bunny Hills, twelve hours straight. That is going to pucker you out quick and then you may cut actual mountain time short. --DO Drink plenty of water and eat regularly. --DON’T --DON’T Forget to have some fun while you’re there! Sometimes a last minute trip can be super exciting, amazing, great, or whatever adjective you want to place here. Most times though, it can be stressful, very stressful. So don’t forget to take a step back and enjoy yourself for the adventure of possibly your life! Have A Great Time! Until Next Time! PAGE 45
