Of course, your wedding is the main attraction of the weekend, but out-of-town guests who are spending more than just one night in town will have some extra time on their hands. Tell them about the best the Rockies have to offer. Not sure? Here's our local guide for each common guest type.
For Your College Crew
Skiing Vail Mountain
A wintertime wedding in Colorado isn't complete without a trip down the mother of all mountains: Vail. The largest ski resort in the US has almost 5,300 acres of free-ride terrain. About $100 for a single-day lift ticket, Vail, (970) 754-8245, Vail.Snow.com
For the Couples
Beano's Cabin
Meals here start out with a sleigh ride from Beaver Creek Village. Then comes the food. Veal Wellington and gingerbread-crusted Colorado rack of lamb are just two of the tantalizing options. There's also live entertainment and a fireplace. Beano's Cabin, Beaver Creek Mountain, (970) 754-3463, BeaverCreek.Snow.com

Past entertainment includes Bernadette Peters, La Boheme and films, and its smart seat setup means there's a great view of the stage from every spot. Aspen, (970) 920-5770, WheelerOperaHouse.com
For the PG Crowd
