Rocky Mountain High Fashion

I was just in Bachelor Gulch, Colorado, for a lovely weekend at the Ritz Club. Bachelor Gulch is right outside of Beaver Creek, which is very close to Vail. While it seems like early November would be an off time to go - and it is - I found that is actually an advantage; meals and spa treatments were discounted, and many of the stores in Vail were having sales.

While I didn't buy anything except for a candle, I can definitely get into the whole Western/Nordic vibe they've got working out there. If you go, a visit to Gorsuch is a must. They also have a website that's worth a look, www.gorsuchltd.com. Just keep in mind that you'll pay top dollar for their stuff; if you want the Germanic Gorsuch look for less, check out www.mydirndl.com. It's not the easiest site to navigate, but you'll save $1,000 - $1,500 on a traditional German/Austrian "trokken" (leather or suede jacket). But forgo the matching liederhosen...
