Not bad for a kid from Crested Butte.
Heidi Montag, star of the MTV reality hit “The Hills,” grew up in the ski hamlet. Her stepdad and mom, Tim and Darlene Egelhoff, run the burg’s best restaurant, Timberline.
On Saturday, Heidi is going to marry — for real — her nefarious TV co-star boyfriend, Spencer Pratt, in Pasadena, Calif. So much for their fake marriage last year in Mexico.
It’ll be shot for the last episode of “The Hills” this year — and the E! Networks will there too.
In Crested Butte, a fancy wedding might include a new pair of Uggs. At the Speidi nups, Montag will don $1 million in jewels from Neil Lane. Her dress is a $19,000 Monique Lhuillier number.
More than 200 guests are expected in a roster that reads like a “Hollywood Squares” episode: Montag’s family, Michael Buble, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Khloe Kardashian, Perez Hilton and David Foster.
The bridal dinner is at the Beverly Wilshire; a casual reception comes down at Cut. Then to the honeymoon in Maui, Tahiti, Fiji or Europe. It’s so hard to choose.
Snuggle up.
Starting at 3 p.m. Saturday, Denver will get snuggly.
That’s when the Snuggie Pub Crawl begins at Jackson’s Sports Bar in LoDo. About 150 people, all dressed in Snuggies, the blankie with arms, will start with a beer and some BBQ. Then it’s on to Delany’s, then Cowboy Lounge, ending at LoDo’s. It’s $25 at the door for charity. Organizer Ted Morse says it’s time to pimp your Snuggie because there will be prizes for the best customized numbers. You can get a Snuggie at Bed Bath & Beyond. Mention the crawl, and they’ll give you 20 percent off.
All aboard!
Oh, Denver’s gonna miss the Ski Train. It was announced Tuesday that after 69 years, the venerable choo- choo will no longer run to Winter Park and back. It’s been sold to a Canadian company.
Many folks had some major fun on that ride — much of it unprintable here. But it passed through a lot of tunnels, so who knows what really went on.
Back in the day, the train carried the Eskimo Ski Club every weekend, filled to the rafters with kids. It smelled like sliced oranges as the ‘tweens launched spitballs, ran up and down the cars and made out. Lotsa steam on the windows! Ah, riding the rails of memory.
City spirit.
