Good news fellow skiers! Remember the good old Colorado Ski Train? Well, the train might be getting back on track for the next ski season.

The latest news tell us that Union Pacific Railroad agreed to let a new owner use the same tracks that take skiers down from Colorado up to the Winter Park resort.

The Ski Train introduced many people to ski during the 50’s and 60’s and flourished during the late 80’s and early 90’s and up until its final run to Winter Park on March 29, 2009.

According to USA Today “Chicago-based Iowa Pacific Holdings, which operates freight and excursion trains in six states including Colorado, wants to take over the service. Iowa Pacific President Ed Ellis says the train would use his company's equipment and Amtrak would provide the crews.”

So if you’re thinking about Colorado Ski vacation this winter and you wanna get there with the Colorado Ski train, Limitless Adventures can make it happen!

Did you know that SCUBA actually stands for the very-long-hold-your-breath-word: Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Scuba diving is not much different than driving – mostly because of the license part. So how to get a SCUBA certification?

The scuba DMV is called PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) or SSI (Scuba Schools International), and they want you to learn how to dive like a shark – which means safely and correctly. If you don’t have a certificate or a license card issued by the PADI or SSI no one will rent you gear, give you air or let you dive. If they do – I’d check that air if I was you.

So the first thing to do is to contact an approved PADI instructor and schedule some class time. Yes, scuba certificate requires three steps: class, pool training and diving, and you will need to read a manual, study and have a short exam.

The first diving you’ll do won’t have much of underwater scenery to it. It will mainly contain children swimming from afar and maybe you will get lucky and find a quarter at the bottom of the pool. After the fun pool part you can go on and dive supervised in the open.

Limitless Adventures would like to invite you to join us on a customized SCUBA diving adventure. Whether you're a beginner who wants to get certified and complete your first Open Water dive, or you're an advanced diver looking to further your skills, we take care of everything!

And we can’t blame you. Winter is just around the corner and this is a perfect time to plan the upcoming ski getaway. But this time, instead of just skiing, how about skiing with the pros?

A few weeks ago we blogged about our recent collaboration with Striker Golf. Before you head on to that dream golf vacation of yours, we wanted to go over a few golf tips that can help we become a true golfer.

1. Golf can be expensive so be a smart shopper. Don’t spend 5000 dollars on your first club. Aim for mid range sports manufacturers and begin with a 100 dollar club.

2. Take golf lessons because your mini-golf experience doesn’t count. When you take golf lessons you’ll play with golfers in your skill range and make friends to golf with.

3, 4 and 5. Know your Grip, Posture and Stance. The three essentials of golf. Grip means how you hold the club and the better you grip the better you play. Posture leads to a proper swing and maintaining balance is essential. Having a stable golf stance and footing will help you control the ball and get it where you want it to go.

7. Know Golf Etiquette. It’s the basic golfer’s code that will ensure everybody is having a pleasant time whether they are pros or amateur golfers and you don’t have clubs thrown at your direction by angry golfers.

8. Call Limitless Adventures that provide a technologically-enabled indoor golf teaching facility focused on training people to optimize their golf proficiency in abbreviated time. If Golf vacation is your adventure, visit www.limitlessadventures.com and start working on that swing.

I was hiking with my sister in Yellowstone a couple of years ago in this very lonely track down the Yellowstone canyon. I remember till this very day the words that my sister whispered then: “I think I see a bear!”

We totally freaked out and started running as fast as we can. When we later told the story to a park ranger, he told us we were lucky to be alive because the worst thing you can do when you see a bear is run. How to survive a bear attack?

• Bears can run over 30 miles per hour which means in quick calculation: 44 feet per second. Olympic athletes can’t run that fast!
• If the bear does not notice you, make a big detour around the bear.
• If he did see you, turn back and walk slowly – away from the bear.
• That climbing up the tree thing – go ahead. But know that almost all bears can climb as well as you can, if not better.

If nothing works – play dead. Really. Lie face down with hands over your head and don’t move. Bear experts say the fighting and resistance only makes the bear angry and you don’t want to make the bear angrier than he is already.



Bears don’t really want to eat you and many hikers encounter bears and enjoy the amazing experience from a safe distance.

For a safe adventure that is not life threatening visit Limitless Adventures and plan the trip of a lifetime.

It’s summer. The water temperature and levels are just about right. It’s time for some white water rafting.

Clear Creek runs about 40 miles in north central Colorado and drains into Clear Creek Canyon. It’s located about 30 minuets ride from Denver and offers a challenging and fun experience for both professionals and brave beginners. Challenge your wild side with a white-knuckled, adrenalin-charged-continuous, technical, snowmelt fed class III & IV rapids that make this action packed trip one of the finest Colorado rafting experiences.



If you’re looking for something more family rafting – you should defiantly try rafting down the Colorado River. It’s a beautiful, scenic trip through Colorado River’s beautiful canyons that’s perfect for the young and the young at heart. You’ll float in scenic serenity through mild whitewater (class II, III), rich wildlife, jumping rocks, and hot springs which make this the trip for that first river experience, families, or groups of all ages.
