When we started Local Freshies® more than seven years ago, our goal was simple – to become the #1 website for the ‘local scoop’ on where to eat, drink, and play in mountain towns throughout North America. It’s been challenging but heckuva lot of fun. In 2022, we’re humbled and grateful to see that nearly 500,000 of you have visited our site in the past year. We’re passionate about writing articles that YOU want to read. Thank you for making this the best year ever and hope this winter is “all-time” for you. As you nurse that hang-over from New Year’s, here’s the most read posts of 2022:
