Winter at Three Forks Ranch for Two
While every season at Three Forks offers something new to discover, there's something magical about Three Forks in the colder months. The remote location becomes the epitome of peace and solitude as it wraps itself in a blanket of white. The changing seasons also opens many new opportunities for guests at the experiential resort. Ski or snowboard on their private mountain, try your hand at ice fishing or take their snowmobiles on the trails for a fun thrill. Guests can warm up with a good book or a glass of wine in front of the fireplace. The Ranch is just 40 miles north of Steamboat Springs on the Colorado-Wyoming border. This is an all-inclusive 3-night trip for 2 people this winter, valid from Jan 2, 2024-March 31, 2024.

Mark Susinno Paints Tonight
Mark Susinno is an artist and fisherman from Maryland, specializing in painting underwater depictions of freshwater and saltwater game fish. His work is loved by angling art collectors, and features in the collection of AMFF. He has added twenty-two fishing stamps to his list of credits, including the 1986 Maryland Trout Stamp, the 1991 First-of-State Pennsylvania Trout/Salmon Stamp and the 2004 First-of-State Texas Freshwater Stamp. His work has appeared in the Art of Angling Journal, Gray's Sporting Journal, Sporting Classics, Field & Stream, Sports Afield, Fishing World, and Fly Fisherman. He notes, "I enjoy suggesting the sense of light and space of the shallow-water aquatic environment, but I also feel the need to present the fish themselves such that they are recognizable to the average fisherman, who is most familiar with how a fish looks when it is out of water."
Mark will paint an original work during the cocktail hour the night of the event, October 19, and the piece will be auctioned that same evening. The finished painting will also be co-signed that night by Mark and Andy Mill.
