Surfing Life Jacket

The base of Beaver Creek Colorado is at 8100 feet, with the summit at 11,400 feet. What does that mean? It means 3,340 feet of rise into some of the best powder I've ever seen in my life. It means a long enough run that I can take advantage of the inter-village runs, and rub elbows with the folks over at Bachelor Gulch or Arrowhead Village, so I'm not missing out on either of those destinations either! It means the air is going to be that sweet sort of dry that makes for awesome snow without that cold, wet feeling. It means there are over a dozen lifts taking me up to 140 trails that cover something like 1600 acres of slopes. It means "I'm gonna have a great time!"

To ski Beaver Creek you only have to trave 2.5 hours outside of the Denver to get to one of the best-kept secrets in Colorado - Beaver Creek. The Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch may get more of the attention, but Beaver Creek is the best of the bunch for my money! Why? Because I love good powder but don't like crowded lift lines, for starters... and because there's just so much more to do!

For starters, Beaver Creek Colorado has the Vilar Center, a state-of-the-art performing arts theatre that brings in the same greats who perform at Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center. Where else can you get that sort of entertainment for your apres-ski? Maybe that's because Beaver Creek is also a summer hotspot for golfers and other outdoor enthusiasts. I don't really care why they put the Vilar Center in, I'm just glad that they did!

What about the rest of the family? They're gonna have a great time, too. For starters, there are Bunny slopes for beginning skiers, as well as the intermediate slopes. One doesn't have to be an expert to enjoy this resort, but if you are, there are challenging runs for you too! Snowboarding is really popular these days too, so the kids can transfer their surfing and skateboarding skills on over to the slopes. And even if some just want to stay in, I rent one of the Beaver Creek Colorado Condos, so there's plenty of room to hang out. Beaver Creek Lodging is never a problem with the options available in the valley.

Even if I wanted to bring my mom and dad along, there'd be plenty for them to do. The area is steeped in history, from the Ute Indians, who were the original in habitants of this incredible resort area, to the stories George Townsend, who was one of the first Europeans to settle the area, all the way back in 1881. George's wife Allie, is known as the unofficial First Lady of Beaver Creek, and hers is the story behind the name of Allie's Cabin, one of the many charming restaurants and shops available to visitors.

That's what I like best about Beaver Creek. No matter who you are, there's something for everyone! There's the Halloween Fest, before opening. I just went to the Vilar Center website and saw that Johnny Lange is playing this October 23rd! Then the Opening Day festivities around the 3rd week in November, The Talon Challenge in the 3rd week of January (over some 13 black diamond slopes!)... Always something going on to get your blood pumping, and then some of the best relaxation and entertainment on the planet for afterwards. That's why it's my favorite place to ski on earth. Beaver Creek? Heck yeah! What more could anyone want?

Surfing the Edge of Chaos $13.99 Every few years a book changes the way people think about a field. In psychology there is Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence . In science, James Gleick's Chaos . In economics and finance, Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street . And in business there is now Surfing the Edge of Chaos by Richard T. Pascale, Mark Millemann, and Linda Gioja. Surfing the Edge of Chaos is a brilliant, powerful, and practical book about the parallels between business and nature -- two fields that feature nonstop battles between the forces of tradition and the forces of transformation. It offers a bold new way of thinking about and responding to the personal and strategic challenges everyone in business faces these days. Pascale, Millemann, and Gioja argue that because every business is a living system (not just as metaphor but in reality), the four cornerstone principles of the life sciences are just as true for organizations as they are for species. These principles are: Equilibrium is death. Innovation usually takes place on the edge of chaos. Self-organization and emergence occur naturally. Organizations can only be disturbed, not directed. Using intriguing, in-depth case studies (Sears Roebuck, Monsanto, Royal Dutch Shell, the U.S. Army, British Petroleum, Hewlett Packard, Sun Microsystems), Surfing the Edge of Chaos shows that in business, as in nature, there are no permanent winners. There are just companies and species that either react to change and evolve, or get left behind and become extinct. Some examples: Parallels between Yellowstone National Park and Sears show why equilibrium is a dangerous place in both nature and business. How Monsanto used a "strange attractor" to move to the edge of chaos to alter its identity and transform its culture. The unlikely story of how the U.S. Army embraced the ideas of self-organization and emergence. Why the misapplication of linear logic (reengineering a business or attempting to eradicate predators in nature) will inevitably fail. The stories in Surfing the Edge of Chaos are of pioneering efforts that show how the principles of living systems produce bottom-line impact and profound transformational change. What's really striking about them, though, is their reality. They are about success and failure, breakthroughs and dead-ends. In short, they are like the business you are in and the challenges you face. From the Hardcover edition.

Surfing through Hyperspace $21.95 Do a little armchair time-travel, rub elbows with a four-dimensional intelligent life form, or stretch your mind to the furthest corner of an uncharted universe. With this astonishing guidebook, Surfing Through Hyperspace, you need not be a mathematician or an astrophysicist to explore the all-but-unfathomable concepts of hyperspace and higher-dimensional geometry. No subject in mathematics has intrigued both children and adults as much as the idea of a fourth dimension. Philosophers and parapsychologists have meditated on this mysterious space that no one can point to but may be all around us. Yet this extra dimension has a very real, practical value to mathematicians and physicists who use it every day in their calculations. In the tradition of Flatland, and with an infectious enthusiasm, Clifford Pickover tackles the problems inherent in our 3-D brains trying to visualize a 4-D world, muses on the religious implications of the existence of higher-dimensional consciousness, and urges all curious readers to venture into "the unexplored territory lying beyond the prison of the obvious." Pickover alternates sections that explain the science of hyperspace with sections that dramatize mind-expanding concepts through a fictional dialogue between two futuristic FBI agents who dabble in the fourth dimension as a matter of national security. This highly accessible and entertaining approach turns an intimidating subject into a scientific game open to all dreamers. Surfing Through Hyperspace concludes with a number of puzzles, computer experiments and formulas for further exploration, inviting readers to extend their minds across this inexhaustibly intriguing scientific terrain.
