Public Service Announcement: Slow Groovin opened this weekend in Marble. Stella on tap. Smoke cooked carne on the menu. If you want to ski you can still hike to it though you’ll need to make a slog to timberline and above. Or leave your skis at home (did I just write that?), hike or bike, visit and check out ambiance that’s not dissimilar to a small outback town in Alaska.
