COME TO LIFE / Getting Here & Getting Around COLORADO WELCOME CENTERS If you want to get in touch with knowledgeable locals during your visit, all you need to do is head to one of the 10 Colorado Welcome Centers. There’s one located in each corner of the state and at both ends of the major interstates that bisect the state — I-25 and I-70. Stop by for personable, face-to-face travel advice, and take your pick from scores of maps, brochures and regional guides. The coffee is always hot, a bicycle-repair kit is available, and each center has Internet access and clean restrooms, as well as information on weather and road conditions. 10 GET THE GEAR As you travel Colorado’s roads, keep an eye out for the locally made products that help Coloradans explore our great outdoors: SKIS, SNOWBOARDS & ACCESSORIES: High Society (Aspen); Liberty Skis (Avon); All Boards Sports (Boulder); Faction Skis, Rocky Mountain Underground (Breckenridge); Romp Skis (Crested Butte); Meier, Never Summer, Folsom Custom Skis and Sick Stickz (Denver); Bishop Binding (Edwards); Icelantic and Apex Ski Boots (Golden); Weston Backcountry (Minturn); Powder Factory (Silver Plume); Unity Snowboards (Silverthorne); Venture Snowboards and ScottyBob SkiWorks (Silverton); Wagner (Telluride); OZ Snow-boards (Wheat Ridge) PACKS & BAGS: Kelty, Madden and Green Guru (Boulder); Osprey (Cortez); MHM, Topo Designs and Adventurist Back-pack Co.
