February 12th, 2010Love is in the Air, and on the Snow!
This Valentine's Day Loveland's ever famous Mountaintop Matrimony returns for it's 19th season. In what is now a Loveland tradition couples get married or renew their vows in a mass wedding ceremony high atop the continental divide, elevation 12,050 ft. At the conclusion of the ceremony everyone skis to the base for a casual after party with live music, spirits, wedding cake and even a best dressed contest. Whether you looking to get hitched or just up to make some turns, this is a special event not to be missed!
Couples who preregister for Loveland's 19th Annual Mountaintop Matrimony are eligible for buy-one get-one lift tickets the day of the event. But hurry, the preregistration deadline is tomorrow, February 12th. You may still register at no cost the morning of the event between 8:30am and 10:30am in the Rathskeller.
Slowly but Surely, New Snow Opens More Terrain
Although we haven't had any major snowstorms recently in these parts of Colorado, the consistent small snowfalls have really been adding up. Not only are the conditions great, but we've been able to open more terrain on The Ridge as well. Check out some of the photos taken earlier this week on The Ridge and Porcupine Saddle off Chair 9.

The Great Colorado Hose Relay Returns to Loveland
Loveland is excited to once again host The Great Colorado Hose Relay this February 27th.
