The Xfinity Birds of Prey Audi FIS Ski World Cup 2023 

Kicking off today and continuing through the weekend at Beaver Creek, the Birds of Prey Ski World Cup is nothing short of a smorgasbord of spectacular ski action. There is also live music, beer tastings, ski films, and parties.

Long after the event has concluded and the winners are back home, the memory of that day will be represented by the beautiful medal they were presented with which was made right here in Colorado by Lisa Issenberg's Kitella Design Studio in Ridgway, Colorado. Read more about Lisa and her amazing work here.

Torchlight Parade in Mountain Village

It’s not this weekend but we wanted to give you time to plan. The Christmas Eve Torchlight Parade will start at the top of the Gondola and head down into the Mountain Village Center. Watch as Telluride Ski & Snowboard School instructors meander down the mountain with torches to light up the mountainside. Best viewed from the base of Lift 4 area.

If you love live music and would like help discovering new bands to follow or are looking for something specific, email us at [email protected] and we’ll do what we can to help!

Netflix Holiday Watchlist

Unwrap the clues, jingle all the way through the suspects, and find out who's been naughty enough to end up on the naughty list permanently! But there is a catch: the stars Jason Bateman and Maya Rudolph aren't given the script. They have no clue what's about to happen.
