CARBONDALE, Colo (November 5, 2015) – Carbondale offers visitors an affordable and accessible alternative winter weekend destination, sitting at the foot of the mighty Mt. Sopris (Elevation. 12,953) surrounded by scenic ranch land and positioned at the confluence of the Crystal and Roaring Fork Rivers. The town is renowned as Colorado’s “Base Camp for Adventure”- a place where winter mountain activities including backcountry, Nordic and Alpine skiing, snow “fat” biking, ice climbing, winter trail running, winter fly-fishing and even stand-up paddle boarding are doorstep-accessible. Visitors are attracted to the town’s casual vibe, influenced by its contrasting ranching history, arts community and biking culture. Carbondale is also becoming known for its liquid and food arts with many new offerings including two breweries and a distillery making the town a major stop-off for food and drink connoisseurs.
