Ear to the ground:
“But this is an important sales call.”
– One innovative telemarketer’s tactic before hearing the dreaded dial tone
Sub-freezing nighttime temps as well as 3 inches last weekend added to the foot over Veteran’s Day weekend has enabled snowmakers to craft a ribbon of white for Opening Day, this Fri., Nov. 23.
Lift 4 will crank to life at 9 a.m., with top-to-bottom skiing on Demon for those so inclined. Tickets will be $42 for adults, $30 students and $20 kids.
As in years past, Purg will be open only on a Fri. - Sun. basis until conditions improve or Old Man Winter decides to come out of the wings.
The Telegraph’s own Jen Reeder is the newest face of the “Tofurky Roast & Gravy” cardboard box (which in no way is indicative of the taste of the spongy goodness inside, we’re told.) Reeder is featured brandishing the telltale box in front of the Roman Coliseum during a recent trip to Europe with her husband, Bryan Fryklund.
“Jen R. knows that Tofurky is the orb of goodness at the center of a complete holiday meal,” reads the caption under Jen’s snapshot in front of the arena where, historically, vegetarianism hasn’t been promoted. But the dream doesn’t end there. Bryan also is featured on the packaging for the “Tofurky Feast,” relaxing on a gondola in Venice, Tofurky in hand. “Bryan R. celebrates his 40th birthday in Venice with his wife and the other love of his life, Tofurky,” reads the caption (for the record, Bryan kept his name after the marriage.)
For their troubles, “Mr. and Mrs. R” were awarded his and her Whamo Frisbees, (made from recycled plastic); Tofurky lunchboxes (for that leftover Tofurky sandwich); and coupons for more Tofurky products (yes, apparently there is a whole line.)
Alas, their holiday dreams of a piping hot, organic vegan loaf might not be so sweet. “The irony is, I can’t find either of the products in town,” Jen wrote. “I guess Durango has yet to contract Tofurky Fever like I have.”
If that’s not something to be thankful for, we’re not sure what is.

The snow must go on
Old Man Winter may still be a no-show, but at Durango Mountain Resort, the show must go on.

Outside the box
Normally, tofu isn’t the stuff of fantasy, but a local woman had her “wildest dreams” come true last month when she won the “Travels with Tofurky” photo contest.
