    <description><![CDATA[– To the Foothills with Robert Martin Episode 13 Corky KahnCorky Kahn started skiing at age 4 when his father taught him on old fashioned wood skis with, what, was called &quot;bear trap&quot; bindings. After high school Corky went to college and law school in Washington, D.C. at American University. While in school he began his career as a ski instructor at Seven Springs ski area in Western Pennsylvania. In 1963 he was offered a job as house counsel for an international company and moved his young family to Chicago, During the 1963-64 winter season Corky joined a newly formed ski patrol at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. Both of his children learned to ski at that area. In 1963-64 he went west to ski at the newly opened Vail Ski Area. He came back from that trip and told his wife that the west was where the great skiing was, and they should move there. As Corky rose in the ranks of the ski patrol, he became involved in teaching future and fellow patrollers. Snow science, search and rescue and avalanche control became a special interest. For a period of about 30 years, he would travel to the Wasatch range of Utah to help teach, both professional and volunteer patrollers the science and dangers of snow. During that same period, he would fill in with a heli-ski company as a guide leading group of skiers in ungroomed areas of the backcountry, reached only by helicopter.  Eventually, Corky’s children reached an age where he and his wife felt it was time to move to Colorado. He applied and was offered a job as a ski instructor at Keystone Ski area and taught skiing there for 11 years. During those years they made many friends amongst the instructor community. Just prior to the start of his 12th year, he received a call from one of those friends who asked if he would be interested in joining the Loveland Ski School. He met with his friend and the director of the school and discussed coming to Loveland. Corky agreed and is here today. Skiing has been an important activity in Corky’s life and the lives of his family. Both his children (now grown adults) are excellent skiers, and his son has followed Corky’s lead as a ski patroller. Most recently his oldest daughter has also become a patroller. The family tradition moves on. For over 80 years Corky have enjoyed and appreciated the sport. Listen to this informative To the Foothills episode with Corky Kahn about teaching people search and rescue and how to ski. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:How it’s important for beginning skiers to take lessons to be safe.How you can prepare for a ski trip by improving your physical well-being.Why Colorado is one of the best places to ski in the United States.Where the best places to ski in Colorado are.Why you need to be a seasoned skier to go back country skiing.

    <description><![CDATA[Home Staging with a Personal Touch – To the Foothills with Robert Martin Episode 005 Marty Nickoley A native of the Chicago area, Marty Nickoley has always had a creative bent. From dance, to art to little theater, artistic design has been a passion. A BFA graduate in Commercial Art from SMU, she worked in Ad agencies in Chicago, free lanced for OP Pacific and produced numerous logos and package designs. In 1980 she married her husband, Bruce, and settled down in the foothills outside of Denver where they raised 3 children. Twelve years ago, she became intrigued with the interior design and Real Estate staging industry and after seminars and certification, became a Staging Consultant. She also worked as the exclusive interior designer for a furniture company for over 5 years.With her background in Commercial Art, Interior Design and a love for people, Real Estate Staging and Design has been a perfect &apos;fit&apos; for bringing Marty expertise into play in assisting sellers to have their property transformed into a buyer’s dream. She has a strong affinity for excellent service and having an intimate working relationship with her clients, so she became certified in Life Coaching that has complimented her professional staging consultations. Her specialty in staging Occupied Homes has met with great success for a quick sale for top dollar. She values being able to have client satisfaction as she assists them in navigating the process of selling their home and to make it as stress free as possible. She is grateful for the many Real Estate Agents that have put their trust in her to partner together for excellent results! Her hope is to continue to instill that trust in Realtors and Sellers alike across the Denver Front Range and Beyond.Marty and her husband enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of cross-country skiing, hiking and cycling. Whipping up creative meals for family and friends is a culinary delight enjoyed together on the deck or around the hearth. She also enjoys mentoring young women to encourage them in their various roles of life.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Home Staging with a Personal Touch – To the Foothills with Robert Martin Episode 005 Marty Nickoley A native of the Chicago area, Marty Nickoley has always had a creative bent. From dance, to art to little theater, artistic design has been a passion. A BFA graduate in Commercial Art from SMU, she worked in Ad agencies in Chicago, free lanced for OP Pacific and produced numerous logos and package designs. In 1980 she married her husband, Bruce, and settled down in the foothills outside of Denver where they raised 3 children. Twelve years ago, she became intrigued with the interior design and Real Estate staging industry and after seminars and certification, became a Staging Consultant. She also worked as the exclusive interior designer for a furniture company for over 5 years.With her background in Commercial Art, Interior Design and a love for people, Real Estate Staging and Design has been a perfect &apos;fit&apos; for bringing Marty expertise into play in assisting sellers to have their property transformed into a buyer’s dream. She has a strong affinity for excellent service and having an intimate working relationship with her clients, so she became certified in Life Coaching that has complimented her professional staging consultations. Her specialty in staging Occupied Homes has met with great success for a quick sale for top dollar. She values being able to have client satisfaction as she assists them in navigating the process of selling their home and to make it as stress free as possible. She is grateful for the many Real Estate Agents that have put their trust in her to partner together for excellent results! Her hope is to continue to instill that trust in Realtors and Sellers alike across the Denver Front Range and Beyond.Marty and her husband enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of cross-country skiing, hiking and cycling. Whipping up creative meals for family and friends is a culinary delight enjoyed together on the deck or around the hearth.
