Super Bowl parties, ski racing, snowskate rail jams and more: Tricia’s weekend picks for 2/01/19

Where to watch the 2019 Super Bowl

This Sunday marks the 2019 Super Bowl and if you’re wondering where to catch the action, there are plenty of places that will be airing it. The big game will start at 4:30 p.m., which is fortunate because you can still get a good amount of skiing and riding in before kick off. One thing you’ll notice, the slopes tend to empty out during the afternoon with many people leaving to get ready for super bowl parties at their homes or elsewhere.

Here are a few places to watch the game, or at least the commercials if your team isn’t in this weekend’s match up.

Get artsy at the Alpine Arts Center

On Saturday night the Alpine Arts Center will open the doors for its Cocktails and Canvas series, but this week the technique taught will be etching on glass instead of painting on a canvas.

Alpine Arts Center likes to mix it up and regularly offers classes not only using paints, canvases and glass etching, but also clay in their Cocktails and Clay series (projects can be shipped in case you are visiting), Wax and Wine (vibrant encaustic wax paintings and cards) and Paintings and Pints (who knew that a beer growler could become functional art?).

Even if you don’t feel like you have a creative bone in your body, you can still learn the skills needed to release your creative side. Instruction and all the materials are provided, including adult beverages. They offer wine and beer by the glass for $6 each. Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks will be available as well. The event goes from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Advance reservations are required so they can plan for the group’s size. Alpine Arts Center is located in the Riverwalk, Edwards and don’t forget, they offer all kinds of kid classes. Please visit http://www.alpineartscenter.org for more info.

Snowskate Saturday Pro/Am Rail Jam in Minturn
