December is here and we are on our way to wrapping up 2022.


As we look out at the world today, we see that our lives are increasingly busier and busier. Please try to slow down a little during this holiday season and reflect on the good fortune that so many of us enjoy. This is also the time to reach out and lend a hand to others that may be in need or are experiencing

some difficulties in their world. Sometimes just giving an hour or two of your time to visit with someone can make a big difference. For others, the simple gift of food might help get them through the holidays with a little less anxiety.


Giving back is one of the most enlightening and heartwarming experiences that a person can do. We have made it a part of our team’s commitment to this community and to our family and friends that we will always do whatever we can to lend a hand, open our hearts and open our arms to others. We know and understand that the success that we have experienced for the past several years would never have been possible without our deep-rooted belief in giving back to others.


Eat, drink and be merry… We want everyone to have a fun holiday season, however, please remember to also have a safe holiday season.


Happy Holidays!

On Powderhorn


Happy December!


Winter is coming, which means the snow is coming as well. Powderhorn Mountain Resort is now open starting off the skiing and snowboarding season. With over forty different trails, Powderhorn has over 1,600 acres of adventure! Powderhorn is a family-friendly area with starter classes and easy slopes for young children. But don’t go thinking Powderhorn is just for kids. Powderhorn also has many steep slopes and dangerous courses for more experienced skiers/snowboarders. Powderhorn is the perfect place to stay for a winter vacation due to its deep snow, tall mountains, amazing sites, and so much more! Powderhorn has something for everybody. I hope you join the party at Powderhorn this winter.


See you in The New Year, 2023!
