Attractions and restaurants have teamed up with Boulder hotels to offer lodging packages for a fall vacation. And if you're already dreaming of some fresh powder, Boulder can help with Colorado's most affordable ski and lodging package. Most Boulder hotels participate, which means availability all winter long, even during the holidays. Eldora Mountain Resort is just a 30 minute drive from Boulder. The Boulder Ski Escape package includes a lift ticket and an overnight stay starting at $67.50. Some of the packages even include breakfast and transportation. In the meantime, get your ski fix during Warren Miller Wednesdays where a new ski movie is screened every Wednesday night through November 2nd .

Fashion is alive and well in Boulder. There are two shopping options to explore - downtown, full of small independently owned shops and boutiques and Twenty Ninth Street, our outdoor shopping center with nationally known retailers.
Did you see the article in GQ that declared Boulder one of the worst-dressed cities in America? We're fighting back! We're happy to say that during the last month's national event "Fashion Night Out," Boulder had more stores participating than any other city in Colorado. That's a great illustration of just how vibrant our shopping scene has become. Look out GQ, Boulder is gaining a fashionista status!

The fall harvests are in, and the Boulder Farmer's Market is still in full swing. The market is still open every Saturday 8:00-2:00 through November 19th. Delicious produce didn't leave with summer, the fall harvests are some of the best in years. Squash, pumpkins, carrots and much more are just some of the colorful fall produce you will see. The outdoor food court is a perfect lunch spot for tasty, super fresh treats.
The new cheese shop Cured not only offers cheese, wine and cured meats, they also have fresh produce from Boulder County farms.
Many Boulder restaurants take advantage of all the delicious local food right here in Boulder. First Bite Boulder is our version of restaurant week and gives you another way to taste the fall harvest. Enjoy some of the finest restaurants for just $26. Let your inner foodie explore Boulder's dining scene.

As one of America's "Best Bike Cities," Boulder knows a thing or two about bikes and where to ride them. Valmont Bike Park
has 40 acres of trails for everyone-from the Tot Track to gnarly jumps-the free park has plenty of options.
If you don't have your own bike, but want to take a nice ride along the creek or just across town, Boulder B-cycle is a fantastic option. The Boulder Creek Path is the premier cruiser ride that is draped with trees full of fall colors.
