We can't believe there are only ten more days until the mountain opens! Is it really already that time of year, when we start hearing the first holiday songs in stores, when we see the first holiday displays?  If all the gift-giving overwhelms you, don't be afraid.  Off the Beaten Path has a knowledgeable staff, and they're at-the-ready to help you make excellent selections for all the friends and family on your list!

Happy Fall!

Early October is peak-leaf season in Steamboat, and if a book factors into your fall aesthetic, you need to come see what we've been reading lately.  Everything from excellent picture books to Beat writers and more.

Make that cup of apple-cinnamon tea, cozy up, and watch the leaves fall from behind the pages of one of these great reads.

We're so glad we live in a world where there are Octobers.
