Snowstorm Cafe - If you’re skiing, we wish we were you. This spiked coffee is the perfect thing to sip after a day on the slopes.

39 Degrees • Aspen Bartender Denis Côté created this drink as a warmer-upper for guests who've just returned from skiing or snowboarding on Aspen Mountain, which is right outside the lounge.

Ingredients:
- 3 ounces hot strong-brewed coffee
- 1 ounce Frangelico
- 1/2 ounce Licor 43 (sweet citrus- and vanilla-flavored liqueur) or Navan
- 1/2 ounce Cognac
- 1 large dollop of unsweetened whipped cream
- 3 coffee beans

Recipe:
In a mug, mix the coffee with the Frangelico, Licor 43 and Cognac. Top with the whipped cream and garnish with the coffee beans.

First, choose from the options that thrill you.

Then, choose the ones that also teach you.

And from these, choose the scariest.

Butterflies in your tummy are good.

Thinking big but acting small, is the same as thinking small.

And reading this while nodding in wholehearted agreement, yet not following your heart and doing all you can, with all you have, from where you are in the days that follow, is the same as not reading this.

The light is getting brighter.

The path is getting clearer.

And you are getting closer.

That's all I'm saying.

Actually... this has been true every day of your life, but sometimes it helps to be reminded of it. Whoohooo!
