Colorado ski areas offer chances to find love on the slopes this Valentine's Day
If you are looking for love in Colorado this Valentine's Day, look no further than the slopes of your favorite ski mountains, where plenty of Valentine's Day events are offering opportunities to spread the love like never before.
Echo Mountain will host speed dating from 6-7 p.m., followed by cocktails in the lodge from 7-8 p.m., the first drink is free! Skiers and riders will be given a heart to wear on their goggles or helmets that signify if they're looking for a man or a woman and be matched by lift attendants accordingly.
Meanwhile, Loveland will be hosting its annual Mountaintop Matrimony Marry Me & Ski Free (which is sadly closed for registration at this point but is still welcome for guests to travel by to see the festivities!) Couples from all over travel to Forest Meadow, a beautiful clearing on the resort where a single master of ceremonies will conduct vow renewals for couples all at the same time. It's a sight to behold if you've never been.
Those couples usually have a strong tie to skiing, like Skyler Kelsey and Lucinda Dilworth, who married just last year, and both former ski racers who met at a camp.
"I was like, who is this random guy who is skiing who also plays a Greek traditional instrument?" Lucinda said, referencing her Greek heritage that drew her to Skyler's playing. "Oh, and I didn't know he's an incredible musician as well as a skier, so I was just instantly smitten."
Skyler (Sky) felt the same about their meeting.
"I was like, 'I'm going to get her number and ask her out," he said with a laugh. "and, you know, a few years later, here we are."
The two celebrated their marriage on top of Eldora Mountain, the ceremony hosted by their friend and CU Buffs skiing coach. After exchanging vows, the two skied down a dual slalom course, in tandem, hitting the turns at the same time, and mirroring their commitment to each other no matter the twists and turns life throws at them. While it's not the only thing in their lives, skiing is a language they both understand.
"Skiing is a massive part of our lives, so it was kind of an obvious idea," Lucinda said. "What better place could we get married than like at the top of a mountain that we go to all the time, have lots of memories, and will continue to go to for like the rest of our lives?"
As for what's next for the happy couple?

How Patrick Schwarzenegger spends his 5 to 9 — from getting 10,000 steps to eating Japanese sweet potatoes
Like his "White Lotus" character Saxon Ratliff, Patrick Schwarzenegger is a lover of smoothies determined to match his parents' stratospheric success. While his arrogant and shallow character rubbed many viewers the wrong way, Schwarzenegger, however, is nothing but charming as we chat on the phone while he gets his steps in around LA. "I walk and talk," he explains. I've discovered there are parts of Schwarzenegger's routine that Saxon would be positively allergic to, such as heading to the beach with his fiancée in the morning to say prayers and share a moment of gratitude. For the latest installment of Business Insider's "5-9" series, which Schwarzenegger took part in to promote Venmo's new debit card, the 31-year-old actor shared how else he spends the hours of the day when he's not working. What time do you usually get up, and what's your morning routine? I've gone to a new state or country every week since "The White Lotus" came out, so it's been a whirlwind of not having a routine and waking up at the most random times. This is my first full week in LA since the start of the year, and it's been great. I got up today at 6.15 a.m. — I never set an alarm clock, but I always wake up around 6 a.m. My fiancée and I went on a walk for our coffee and then down to the beach to say our gratitude and prayers. Usually, I'd work out after, but I didn't today as my fiancée had to go to the airport. So we made some breakfast, I had a sauna, and then went to the office. What do you have for breakfast? This morning, I had egg bites and Greek yogurt with berries, which is what I have on most days: eggs, Greek yogurt, fruit, or oatmeal. I try to get 40 to 50 grams of protein and some sort of carbs and fat. Do you eat before or after working out, or both? Afterward, if I'm working out really early in the morning, but sometimes I'll have something light before, like some fruit and nuts or peanut butter and banana. Much has been made of your character's love of smoothies on "The White Lotus." Are you a fan? Oh yes, I am. I used to drink smoothies all the time. Now I don't drink them as much, but I do love them. This conversation is actually making me want to go get a smoothie. If I'm gearing up for a role or a project and I need to gain weight, then I will bring in the smoothies because they help me get a lot of calories quickly. So I do love a peanut butter banana smoothie. The best combo. Tell me more about your approach to working out. I work out in the mornings when I can and try to get my 10,000 steps in too. Are you walking now? I am. I walk and talk. I try to do five days of lifting a week, and some sort of cardio. I stay pretty active. Do you follow a particular workout split? I usually do a push day, pull day, and leg day, or a more cardio-focused full-body day. Sometimes I do typical weight training, other days more high-intensity interval style. What are your recovery essentials? Food, sleep, and hydration are the main things. I love the sauna, the jacuzzi, and massages, but they're less important. When you're not working, how do you relax and have fun? Working out is fun for me. It is part of my daily life and what I like to do, and I feel better. And the same with my eating. I also like going on walks, hanging with my friends and family, hiking, biking, and watching movies and TV shows. I love cooking and baking and finding new coffee shops, and I use my new Venmo debit card for all of it. What do you like to have for dinner, and who cooks? I would get in trouble if I said I always cook dinner. Abby cooks most of the time. I cook breakfast pretty much every morning, although she made the egg bites today. We go out frequently, but try to cook as much as possible when we're in town because we're not often here. What's your favorite thing to cook? We cook sweet potatoes every night. We love Japanese sweet potatoes. We also make a lot of eggs and pancakes. Abby makes a really good chicken salad. She makes a bunch of good stuff for me. Lucky you. I know, seriously. So what's your ideal evening when you're at home? Well, last night Abby and I went and did a workout together. We did this hot Pilates class, and then we picked up some food, made dinner, had a little dessert, went on a walk afterward for the sunset, then watched a movie. If it's a date night, we go out, get some cocktails, and have fun. Do you have a favorite cocktail? I've been on a martini kick in recent years. Nice. Do you have a nighttime routine? No, I don't really. I kind of just get in bed, and I'm usually pretty tired from the day. I try not to watch TV in the bedroom, and I fall asleep pretty easily at around 10 p.m. I try to get eight hours. I suppose when you're so active, you get into bed and you're exhausted. Yeah, exactly … I'm always out in the sun and walking around, and I sleep better. Read the original article on Business Insider
