Travel Haiku - Montezuma Bowl (Colorado) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Montezuma Bowl
we ski like we
are goldfishes

Montezuma Bowl
we swerve like
we are sword fish

If your work calendar is holiday-free until Memorial Day, it's time to plot your own late-winter resurrection. Our suggestion: Arapahoe Basin. The highest resort in Colorado boasts 95 runs across 900 skiable acres, including the recently opened 400-acre Montezuma Bowl on the back side. But A-Basin's dressed-down vibe, serious terrain, and impromptu parking-lot parties (dubbed 'The Beach') , ensure that this overdue outing will be equal measures play and work (as in getting worked by A-Basin's serious vertical) .
