Don\u2019t know what to do this weekend? Well, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Pull up a seat to the counter, and I\u2019ll tell you about everything that\u2019s hot and happening.<\/em><\/p>\n

I feel like I\u2019m confessing to a murder when I say this, but sometimes I don\u2019t feel like skiing. Maybe it\u2019s a busy holiday weekend or the weather has made the roads too dangerous, but there are times I just want to either stay in or travel no farther than I can walk.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Summit County is rich in worthwhile, easygoing activities that don\u2019t involve hitting the slopes when you want to give your body some rest.<\/p>\n

Go to art gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWoven Spaces,\u201d<\/a> the interactive mixed-media exhibit by Craig Walsh and Hiromi Tango, has been open to the public for about a month, making now a good time to see how the pieces have evolved from community involvement.<\/p>\n

On 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25, the Gallery@OMH is hosting a workshop<\/a> in collaboration with Building Hope as part of \u201cWoven Spaces.\u201d<\/a> With support from arts facilitator Kathye Conti, you\u2019ll create a work of art to help express your emotions. More workshops will be held March 31 and April 28.<\/p>\n

More new art can be found in the Silverthorne Performing Arts Center\u2019s Education Corridor. The center\u2019s latest exhibit<\/a> features drawings from Denver artist Eileen Roscina Richardson<\/a>. On display through the end of March, they showcase scenes of nature and culinary inspiration. Richardson also has sculptures<\/a> made from more than 4,000 locally gathered pressed flowers suspended throughout the venue.<\/p>\n

Grab a coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coffee shops are not hard to find in Summit County, meaning a warming caffeine fix is rarely far away. They\u2019re also a great place to meet up with friends \u2014 or make new ones \u2014 and relax on a sofa. It\u2019s hard to go wrong with most of them, but I can suggest a few standouts for those with choice paralysis.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in Frisco, consider Rocky Mountain Coffee Roasters.<\/a> They roast their beans on-site, and satisfied customers can purchase one of their many bags to make coffee at home. I\u2019m partial to a dirty, spicy chai latte no matter the store, but Coffee Roasters has some great specials and solid breakfast sandwiches, as well.<\/p>\n

Breckenridge residents and visitors might want to give The Crown<\/a> a shot. If regular coffee or tea won\u2019t warm you up, The Crown also serves wine, beer, cocktails and can splash some liquor into your hot mug.<\/p>\n

Red Buffalo Coffee and Tea<\/a> is the place to be if you\u2019re in Silverthorne. They have probably the best lox bagel sandwich in the county and a stellar lavender honey latte that\u2019s the right balance of floral and sweet.<\/p>\n

Read a book<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curling up with a good book that challenges, excites and transports you to another world is always an entertaining option when I\u2019m feeling lazy. But it doesn\u2019t have to be a solitary activity.<\/p>\n

Summit County Libraries<\/a> has multiple events at all of its branches, such as storytime and playing with Legos for the kids and writing groups for teens. There is also meditation, crocheting and yoga for adults.<\/p>\n

If you need some guidance on what to read next, or are eager to discuss what you\u2019ve read with folks, consider joining a book club. Next Page Books & Nosh<\/a> in Frisco has a few cleverly named ones like The Drinking Club with a Reading Problem<\/a> and Not Your Mother\u2019s Book Club.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since Fat Tuesday is right around the corner, why not stay in with a book and slurp down a hot, filling bowl of lobster bisque from The Lost Cajun?<\/a> Put in an order for a king cake, while you\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n
