You may be wondering just what the heck a festEVOL is?

Evol Burritos is the main sponsor of the Bud Light Concert Series. They have taken frozen burritos to an entire new level by making all-natural, made-from-scratch burritos that taste amazing. Evol was founded by selling homemade burritos out of a cooler to fellow climbers in Colorado’s Eldorado Canyon.

Now they’re sponsoring a music festival, and Evol burritos have been showing up everywhere including backstage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and even being passed out on opening day here in Crested Butte, CO. I would highly recommend looking for these in the organic frozen food section at your local grocery store.

2011 festEVOL Tour Dates:

March 19th, 2011 – Okemo, VT
March 26th, 2011 – Crested Butte, CO Mount Sunapee, NH

Crested Butte Mountain Resort

Mount Crested Butte, CO – Tucked away amongst massive pines trees located near the base of the twister chairlift half way up the Crested Butte Ski Resort lies the intimate Uley’s Cabin. Hungry skiers and snowboarders can literally slide right up to the front door. Having lunch at the cabin was unlike any on mountain dining experience I have ever had.

Chef Danny Rosa and his team of talented chefs including our friend Matt Santor prepare a stunning gourmet lunch of upscale Colorado Cuisine seven days a week. The atmosphere at Uley’s cabin is very unique for an on mountain dining experience, you feel like your in a small family run European chalet. Upon entering the cabin skiers are given covers for the bottom of their boots to avoid slipping on the hardwood floors. This was the first sign that we had arrived at a true luxury restaurant.
