Eurolanche Invasion VII is done. Thank you for your support!

[Lord Moriarty007]

I mess my home in Colorado.
Welcome back guys! I hope to see you guys on altitude!

 

[EurolancheDavid]

Thank you very much guys. We realize we will have to probably change some part of the schedule due a weather... We will see.

Anyway, for those fans, who can't join us for the trip, we have launched special Invasion VII contest for 6 autographs of Avalanche players. The winner will be able to choose random three autuographs of forwards, two of defensemen and one goaltender's.

Details about this contest are at this link: http://eurolanche.com/article.php?id=5519

Looks like an awesome trip! You guys are going to have a great time!

It looks like you guys are going to be doing a lot of traveling on I-70. Be warned that the traffic on I-70 can be really, really bad. Particularly between the hours of 7-10am and 4-8pm as the ski traffic will be heading between the front range and the mountains during those times. If there is any weather at all expect your travel times to increase even more.

http://www.cotrip.org/home.htm is by far the best way to get traffic and road condition information. It should be really useful specifically on the day you're trying to get back for the Ottawa game keep an eye out for any delays.

Good luck with the traffic. It can be really crazy.

[EurolancheDavid]

What a start of Invasion VII! Yes, Avs lost the game, but what happened before it will stay in our memories forever. Many local Avs fans said HI to us and recognized us. We appeared many times on the Pepsi Vision - big jumbotron and finally we were interviewed by local host Conor McGahey. We are really thankful for your support and all nice messages/tweets that we have got from you. We read them all and really appreciate it.

Complete coverage is update at invasion.eurolanche.com where you can find also our daily diaries and daily recap and also new photo gallery.

Second day of Invasion VII was nothing but about beautiful nature in the state of Colorado. We visited Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. One of our group was in the crowd for the Broncos game.

Importantly, we will be in Denver Czech bar of Sobo 151 for watching tonight's Avalanche away game.

Photo from yesterday speaks for itself:

We were in Golden on Mondy for a brewery tour at Coors and Railroad Museum. Nice places! And it is true professionalism inside the brewery. Even for free admision. You would hardly find such places in Europe at this level...

We watched Avs away game in Czech bar Sobo 151 on the evening.

The weather isn't good like last Invasions. Snowing delays our transport, but there is a hope for better conditions after New Year.

Glad you made it to Golden (my hometown, so I'm biased).

SoBo 151 is a gem.

Enjoy the rest of your time in the state. Be sure to check out Union Station in downtown Denver - newly renovated, beautiful architecture, cool history, great bar, central location... cheers!

I'd like to second the comment on Union Station. My wife and I were in Denver this summer and stopped at place called "The Kitchen Next Door" after watching a Rockies game...First time I ever had Kale Chips and they were awesome!

YES! The Kitchen and The Kitchen Next Door (and The Kitchen Upstairs in Boulder) are awesome. All owned by Elon Musk's brother. Everything is spot-on; there's the original Boulder locations, Glendale, LoDo, Union Station, and now one opening in Chicago. Excellent recommendation.

 

[EurolancheDavid]

Thanks guys for the tips for good diner. We were inside the station couple of days ago, but we will be probably back for some food!

Day 4 of Invasion VII was about a trip to Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak railway. Unfortunately, the bad weather caused we couldn't ride to the summit. But the scenery was amazing anyway.

Our daily recap is at http://eurolanche.com/article.php?id=5676

Full coverage is available at invasion.eurolanche.com along with diaries, photo gallery and more.

 

[EurolancheDavid]

What else to add that we finally met Patrick Roy??? Wow! It was crazy day - last day of 2014. Finally, the weather was awesome. We took hundreds of great pictures outside of Pepsi Center and in Dowtown Denver, but also spent hundreds of dollars in Altitude Store. We were at the lunch with Jake Schroeder and then enjoy the game.

I recommend you to check our updated photo gallery. There are some great shoots, but mainly photos with Patrick Roy.

[EurolancheDavid]

First day of new year was about a long drive to Aspen and Glenwood Hot Springs. We really enjoyed it! It is shame the Springs are so far of Denver... We would like to come back there one time.

Yesterday was our third Avalanche game and second win of Invasion VII trip. We met all players after that of course.

Be sure to check mainly photos of Aspen/Springs trip in our updated photo gallery. Diaries and daily recaps are at invasion.eurolanche.com.

Happy New Year!

 

[EurolancheDavid]

We drove to cities of Dillon, Keystone, Alma and Fairplay on Saturday, bu very heavy snow storm canceled all plans there yesterday...

At least I took some nice photos that you can check at >>> https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152980211109283.1073741832.155274799282&type=1 <<<

Check invasio.eurolanche.com for updated diaries from Denver and a daily recap as well.

Starting tomorrow, one part of our group is going to Chicago for the away game, second part will make three-day trip to San Francisco.

 

[EurolancheDavid]

Bad score for the Avalanche didn't make our Sunday in Denver bad. Firstly, the weather was great. Secondly, we did two great trips ouside Denver. Thirdly, we met with great behavior of the Avs players after the game.

This must be short, as we need a slepp before Monday's flight to Chicago for the Avalanche game. We will keep you informed from anywhere in the world.

[tigervixxxen]

Thank you for all the updates. Your pictures are incredible. I like the mountain scenes and photos of Denver especially around dusk a lot. And of course the players, its fun to see them up close and what their style is. lol

One question, you guys usually have your trip around this time of year, don't you? Is there any reason for that? Is it because the Avs usually have a lot of home games during this time of the year? I really wish you guys could see Colorado in the fall, its the best time of year by far.

 

[EurolancheDavid]

Our schedule is always adapted on the NHL schedule...

We are back now guys. We spent last three days in Chicago and the second group in San Francisco. It was great time!

Here is a report a photo gallery of Chicago trip, we are working on San Francisco part >>> http://eurolanche.com/article.php?id=5741 <<<

Back to yersterday. Thursday was amazing day. We made it to the Avalanche game day practice that is not available for a public. Our member even got a hockey stick from Landeskog. Then we had a meeting with Milan Hejduk and a day was concluded by nice Avalanche win. Btw, Terry Frei did interview with us and it could appear in the print edition. We will keep you informed.

At invasion.eurolanche.com is available updated coverage that includes photos of last day, diaries and daily recap.

 

[EurolancheDavid]

On Friday we were at the Family Sports Center for the Avalanche practice and took really close photos of the players as we were allowed to take them next to the boards. After that we had a lunch with our great friend Jan Hejda. Finally, in the evening Jake Schroeder had a dinner with us and took with him his Stanley Cup 2001 ring.

Full coverage with photos of Hejda and the ring is online at invasion.eurolanche.com and you can find there also daily recaps and diaries.

At the end, we will have a post game meeting with the Avalanche fans in Denver. Details to be revelead tomorrow in the morning of Denver time.

Plus, we are working on two big suprises. You will be informed.

 

[Taak19]

Just looked over your pics on fb. Awesome!

 

[EurolancheDavid]

Thank you!

Big thank you to every Avs fan who read our Invasion VII coverage for the last two weeks. We really enjoyed our time here in Denver. Avs won 5 of 6 home games and one more in Chicago. We met all players and Patrick Roy. Our last day was about the last game, last win and last dinner with our US friends and Jake Schroeder.
