WHO’S READY FOR SOME POWDER?

The location’s beauty is only part of your stimulating experience, because every curve of fresh powder makes
Breckenridge, Colorado
your pupils dilate. Once you’re done flying down the hill where Bode Miller took the bronze, head over to the winter wonderland of the old Olympic Village for a cozy night in a picturesque town.
John Denver’s anthem “Rocky Mountain High” is about the freedom he felt here. Where there are great mountains, there’s even better snow. The ski resort boasts five peaks, 187 trails, 34 lifts, four terrain parks, and a renowned cross-country trail. After a day on the slopes, head into the town of Breckenridge for dining and activities that ditch the glitz and glamour of Vail or Aspen and take you straight to the heart of fun.
St. Anton, Austria
If you want a great location for next year’s Christmas card photo, there’s no better place than the Tyrolean Alps. Nestled in a valley between perfectly molded mountains, the Austrian landscape provides a beautiful backdrop for your winter excursions. The densely wooded areas and the bright reflection of the snow frame the vibrant town that’s just waiting to be explored. When you’re ready for world-class runs, hop in one of the 11 gondolas and zip down the hills that hosted the 2001 Alpine World Ski Championships.
Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
A destination that looks like a cross between a Nordic paradise and Olympic-level runs, Whistler is filled with true magic, winter activities, and a town that captivates the senses. When you see the mountains of British Columbia, you’ll understand why they hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Colorado Affordable Legal Services Protects Tenants
Colorado Affordable Legal Services (CALS) is the only law firm in the Denver metro area 100% dedicated to the legal practice of landlord tenant dispute resolution and fair housing law. Founded by attorney April L. Jones, CALS provides a valuable community resource to those individuals who cannot afford or would otherwise lack access to legal representation. CALS offers a variety of legal services to improve the lives of Colorado tenants by defending their rights and advocating for the preservation of affordable housing. Colorado is a very landlord-friendly state, which means it’s easy for tenants to make an innocent mistake and find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Jones is dedicated to empowering tenants by educating them on their rights and giving clients the information they need to make smart decisions.
“Information is power in this area of the law,” says Jones. “When people don’t have the right information,
they make decisions that seem simple but can actually really hurt them in the long run. It’s so important to me to be able to give people the information they need to protect themselves.” Prior to becoming an attorney, Jones spent over a decade as a court stenographer. She has always been invested in the law and was encouraged by judges and prosecuting attorneys to pursue her passion. Jones graduated from the University of Denver College of Law in 2005 and has since represented businesses, insurance companies, and individuals in federal and state court matters. After a number of years working with an insurance defense firm, Jones decided it was time to hang her own shingle. “My favorite part about being an attorney is actually being able to help people,” Jones says. “In my line of work, I meet with people who are often about to lose their home or are in a situation where their home is compromised. Being able to help an individual get out of a desperate situation and stay in their home with their family is really rewarding.” April L. Jones and CALS uphold the honorable tradition of attorneys who go the extra mile to protect vulnerable members of their community.
