Book your stay for between December 19 and 26, and you could score rates as low as $101 a night -- 50 percent off the usual rate!

Keystone offers a better alternative to holiday shopping

As the sun sets over Gadling and our "Wild West" day, I couldn't let the day go by without featuring this beautiful shot shared by xphaqtor in our Gadling Flickr pool. Nothing like a sunset, the Colorado scenery and a hardened cowboy to close a day on the range, is there?
If you've got some great travel shots you'd love to share, be sure to upload them to the Gadling pool on Flickr. We ...Kids fly free to Vail this winter
Nov 14th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Skiing is not a cheap hobby. For those who don't live close to the slopes, just getting to their favorite ski resort can cost hundreds of dollars, especially for families. But those going to Vail may find it a little more affordable. . . well at least for the flights.
American Airlines, which operates several nonstop routes to Eagle Airport (30 minutes from Vail and Beaver Creek), is offering ...World Cup snowboarding comes to Telluride
Nov 12th, 2009 at 1:00PM: World Cup snowboarding is coming to Telluride!

Oct 31st, 2009 at 2:00PM: The Hotel Jerome is offering a fantastic deal, but its for Thanksgiving weekend only. So, if you're sick of carving into the same dry turkey -- yet again -- watching the damned parade on television (or worse, in person ... trust me), book a last-minute trip to Aspen, Colorado. The Hotel Jerome's "120th Anniversary Celebration" package costs only $1,889 for two people from November 25 - 29, 2009. ...United just can't win with Canadian singer
Oct 30th, 2009 at 10:00AM: Canadian singer-songwriter Dave Carroll flew United again, and it just didn't work out. Carroll made the headlines when he released a YouTube video explaining his experience with United, which broke his guitar when he changed planes at Chicago's O'Hare airport.
In his first song, Carroll said he wouldn't rule out flying United again, specifically, "To save the world, I probably would ... but that ...Alternatives to skiing: spa, anyone?
Oct 29th, 2009 at 5:00PM: In the interests of disclosure and transparency, I don't ski. I did a little bit of snowboarding 15 years ago, but it didn't amount to much. So, when I write about the ski deals that come across my desk, it's not lost on me that some people don't hit the slopes. The latest package from The Lodge at Vail, a RockResort, has something for those of us who don't stumble down the mountain. The "Spa, ...Last chance for Telluride deal closing in
Oct 28th, 2009 at 11:00AM:
Circle October 30, 2009 on your calendar. Do it twice. That's the date the Telluride Ski Resort 2009-2010 season pass sale closes – you have until Friday to lock in a savings of up to 50 percent. With plenty more people hitting the slopes this year, expect demand to be high, so you'd be out of your mind not to lock this in early.
To pick up the biggest win, buy a 4Pass, which cuts the ...Skiers eager to return to Colorado slopes
Oct 27th, 2009 at 3:00PM: The travel market may be in the tank, but things are looking good for Vail Resorts. Season passes for their slopes were up 13 percent last month. Sure, some of the deals have probably helped, but the market has definitely changed over the past year. In 2008, travelers were feeling the fresh sting of the financial crisis, and job cuts were looming. Everyone became more cautious, because they didn't ...Colorado offers free 3-month trip to "snow virgins"
Oct 14th, 2009 at 11:00AM: My four-year old niece, who lives in Florida, once detailed for me all the places she'd been in the world. "I have been everywhere," she said. "I have even been to snow!" (For the record, that means she has been to Michigan). If you aren't as "well-traveled" as my niece and haven't yet experienced the icy wonder of snow, Colorado wants to hear from you.
Colorado is looking for "snow virgins", ...Gun-toting pilot gets gig back
Oct 10th, 2009 at 12:00PM: A gun was fired in the cockpit and so was the pilot. In March 2008, on a flight from Denver to Charlotte, US Airways pilot Jim Langenhahn's gun discharged, an action taken by his employer shortly after. Now that his 18-month disciplinary suspension is over, he's back in training and getting ready to take to the friendly skies. The Associated Press didn't mention whether the current program ...Ski season officially begins today!

According to this story from The Gazette, an escaped llama has been prowling the area for the past three weeks, avoiding capture, while posing for photos, and trying unsuccessfully to join the local herd of bighorn sheep. Llamas are ...Through the Gadling Lens: photographing skies
Oct 1st, 2009 at 11:00AM: Oh, how I'd love to regale you with my brilliant photographic skills in capturing the sky's majesty!
I'd love to, but I can't.
For some reason, I'm really, really horrid when it comes to shooting skies. Oh, I can manage to get a good sunset photo here and there, and occasionally my blue skies appear shockingly blue, but the truth is that for the most part, I get by with a little help from ...Plan your Great American Beer Festival experience online
