Yeah, Boulder is a pretty cool town.  I miss that aspect of it; however Colorado fans were the most classless fans in the Big 12.  Just complete assholes. 

We went with a group of G-Phi's when we did homecoming with them one year, and one girl who drove there had her car windows smashed because it had a K-State Gamma Phi Beta sticker on it.

It's why I'm all in on Colorado State joining the Big 12.

If your a foodie and just want to hang around the towns and don't want to hike/camp, make a trip out during a shoulder season.  Top restaurants have are marked down like 75% due to no one being around.  We go up all the time and it's usually $20 a plate instead of $80-90.

forgot the part about piss balloons and batteries 

[Gooch]

How in the world do you even make a piss balloon? You would have to have one hell of a strong bladder to be able to inflate a balloon while pissing.

Yes, skiing is great but summer/fall is life changing.  You will hate going back to Kansas afterward.

I'll be near Silver Thorn visiting my little sister the last week of July.  This thread needs more tips.

Climb a mountain. Play the Breckenridge Golf Club. Walk downtown and find a nice bar, sit on the deck, enjoy happy hour (3-6 most places). I did all of these this past weekend.

Mrs. WonderMeal and I went to the Hyatt in Beaver Creek, CO a little over a month ago and it was great. Category 7. Since you and Gooch are out of AA miles, that might be a good option for you.

Pfft only out of AA miles. I still have a bagillion Southwest, Avios, and United miles. <--- #fanningbrag

Depends on weather.  Fall and Spring/Mud Season basically.  Once the mountains close down till it gets towards summer.  And as the temperatures starting to drop after summer to the initial snowfall.

There's some decent festivals but most weekends are ghost towns, which is nice if your looking for that kind of thing. 

Beaver Creek has Blues. Brews, and BBQ festival over Memorial Day weekend.  Live music, BBQ vendors from all over, amateur competitions that you can enter for like $75 bucks and win a Green Egg (Usually some KC people there).

If Gooch cheaps out on you and doesn't take you, you can come to Colorado with Mrs. Lopak and me......to Aspen, not shitty Breckenridge.

[SPEmaw]

I'm headed there next week...very excited.

My family has spent a lot of time in Breckenridge over the years, mostly in the summer.

We'll be fly fishing 1.5 days, hiking in the White River National Forest to Lower and Upper Mohawk Lakes. Pretty intermediate hike but incredibly fun. Also the obvious beer drinking and eating awesome food. There's a absinthe bar that's run by this hilarious european guy. Absinthe is pretty  but whatever.

_fan or anyone else that's been recently: any can't miss restaurants? no "you've got to visit Kite's and get a burger"-type of comments, please.

[Gooch]

Mrs. Gooch won't go WW rafting.

That's a shame. It's so much fun.

Mrs. Gooch won't go WW rafting. 

I didn't say that. I just said I didn't want to go to one that is extremely rough where I am going to die.

yeah cause that is what they do.

Guide: Any of you ever WW raft before?
Gooch's: Nope!
Guide: Well boy howdy you are in luck. We've got you some mighty fine class V rapids to throw your ass in right here!

That's exactly what they do.  Ms dub and I  signed up for class 3/4 for our first and due to water levels it was mainly 4s with three big 5s.

That being said, you two will be fine.  The guides steer mainly and they have kayakers following all the rafts.  Do the 4/5 trip, ms dub loved it after almost dropping out when they told us.
