Places for the evening
Help needed! What places nearby are good to eat and drink at? Are there any places further away worth the trip?
Places for Breakfast
Yes this is really important. Denver is really known for Mexican food. In particular, Green Chili. Sams No 3 is known for thier breakfast burritos.
This place has award winning breakfast burrritos. Be sure you get them smothered in green chili. Trust us... you will have dreams about this for years to come.
Skiing
Yeah, you are reading right. World class skiing is not too far, but will likely require a car. Ski resorts are beginning to close, but a few are still open.
Check out these resorts which are open during ApacheCon and not too far from Denver:
A-Basin: http://www.arapahoebasin.com/Abasin/Default.aspx BeaverCreek: http://www.beavercreek.com/
Breckenridge: http://www.breckenridge.com/
Copper Mountain: http://www.coppercolorado.com/winter/index.html Keystone: http://www.keystoneresort.com/
Loveland: http://skiloveland.com/
Vail: http://www.vail.com/
Winter Park: http://www.winterparkresort.com/
A local secret... Loveland is awesome and has a lot of bowls... not too far and doesn't get teh crowds the other resorts get. The best snow is likely at A-Basin and Loveland due to their altitude.
Other Open Source Events
