Marina Egorov – The Bag and Pack Shop, Vail, Colorado
Finally we have had some rain up in these mountains, much awaited and we are most grateful! Things are green, blooming and beautiful all around. Plenty to do and this week's weather is back to the standard summer fare. Cooler temperatures in the mountains, high 60s to 70s, and the usual possibility of afternoon thunderstorms.
Though the raising of fire restrictions from Stage 2 (current fire ban) to Stage 3 (limit on any and all backcountry activities) is unlikely as of right now; fire risk remains a possibility. Hikers, campers and all forest users are asked to be careful and wary as we are still in a state of drought. Fishermen and anglers are also concerned with the rising water temperatures. These can stress the fish, causing diseases; and fishing the streams exacerbates this stress. Fishermen are asked to fish early in the morning, fish higher up in the drainage and keep a constant eye on the water temperature to avoid long term negative effects. A voluntary or even mandatory fishing ban is not off the table.
This last weekend launched the ticket sales for the next summer event series: the Vail International Dance Festival. Featuring world famous dancers and specially choreographed pieces, a performance in this series is not to be missed. With seated and lawn options for tickets, why not pack a picnic and bring a group of friends together for a cultural evening?
View a highlights video from 2011's festival in the above video. Buy tickets and view performance details here. Performance passes, including 9 lawn tickets and 9 drinks from the bar are also available!
We hope to see you at our Vail and Avon locations soon - new summer wear and sale winter wear and gear still available. Why not stock up on some half price Patagonia Capilene for this winter?
