Ouray Polar Bears
In Ouray, the Hot Springs Pool is a welcome relief after a long snow. The pool is open year round and is a great place to get some much needed exercise. There are lap lanes (ranging in temperatures from 65 - 76 Fahrenheit in the winter -- Today it was a balmy 68.).
A second pool contains water that is about 96 degrees and many people come Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings for a little water aerobic workout and finish up with a little social hour
Yesterday we received about 12 inches of snow so today with the BlueBird Skies, it was stunningly beautiful.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Denim of Antiquity
Nancy Wolkin, the proprietor of Denim of Antiquity invited me into her store today so that I could get a feel for her shop.
She sells one of a kind denim jackets. She purchases denim jackets of all kinds and then uses antique fabrics to dress them up and they are really cool.
Her shop is at 450 Main Street in Ouray Colorado. Take the tour. It is really very interesting.

Dance Classes
Weehawken Creative Arts has been sponsoring various dance classes for the youth in Ouray County. Natasha teaches numerous classes such as tap, jazz, ballet, and hip-hop. There are 75 kids enrolled in these classes that take place at the Wright Opera House just about every day.
In the spring, there will be a Peter Pan production and Natasha told me that all the kids will be able to be in the production.
Here are a few images from the classes from Debbie Clapsadyl. Her daughter, Hunter, is enrolled.

Grab your skates!
Today, Kimerra and Jessi were skating at Rotary Park. These two gals live in Ridgway but came up for the afternoon for some fun outdoors. The ice is in the best shape that it has been in for years. The surface is well plowed and the ice is very smooth. Will Clapsadl is the official "Ice Man" at Rotary Park and we are so grateful that he is taking such care. Thanks Will!

Saturday Morning, Ouray Ice Fest
It is Saturday Morning at the Ouray Ice Festival. On the lower bridge, you can see there are numerous vendors and climbers from around the world. People can demo all the latest in equipment.
Here is a gal, climbing on the Kids Wall, just learning how to do it.
Spectators watch as the competition heats up
New at the Ice Park this year is the Kids climbing wall. It is easily accessible from the road, has a great pitch, beautiful ice and you can come and test drive the sport before you commit to loving it.
See all the people on the kids wall. In fact, it isn't just for kids anymore! Adults of all ages are learning to climb.
This lady is descending into the gorge before she starts up.
We have competitors from around the world that come to Ouray to compete.
More spectators watching the early morning competition
Jodi from La Papillion Bakery cooks up some warm food for the spectators and participants. He makes a fantastic gumbo.
Just another perfect blue sky day in Ouray. We received about 4 inches of snow last night and it left the landscape with a brilliant white sheen. The red building is our beautiful county courthouse.
Getting ready for the gorge.
Vendor tents along the road in the ice park.
Participants watch from viewing stands funded by gifts from Asolo, one of the main sponsors of the event.
Climbing clinics abound during the festival. There are over 80 different clinics sponsored by the various vendors. There is also a bunch of gear that can be demoed for free.
The Ouray Elks Lodge made breakfast this morning for those that wanted to eat pancakes, sausage, bacon and biscuits and gravy. This is Phil Martinez. He is one of the Trustees and loves to cook. He also works at the Ruby Trust Mine.
Manette Steele is the District Deputy for the Western Slope. She also loves to cook and loves early morning gigs.
The Ouray French Team was also part of the fun. They are raising money for a trip to Paris this coming March and worked to serve the ice fest participants a hearty breakfast.
This is Tom Tyler performing cleanup. He was there early but refused pictures until the coffee had been built up in his system. He is not a morning person :-)
All in all, another great day in Ouray!
