MENDOCINO, Calif. — If the mere mention of chanterelles and morels gets you salivating, consider a trip to a mushroom festival this fall.

Mendocino County, about 90 miles north of San Francisco, hosts a Mushroom Festival, Nov. 7-16, www.gomendo.com, with hunts for chanterelles, porcinis, morels and rarer varieties like the candy cap and hedgehog mushroom. Mushroom-themed dinners are offered throughout the area, along with mushroom cooking classes and a seminar on the healing power of mushrooms.

The Wild About Mushrooms Co., based in Forestville, Calif., offers mushroom-themed trips including the Oregon Cascades Foray, next Sunday through Oct. 16, which includes hunting for chanterelles, porcini, matsutake, lion's mane and other varieties. The $675 price includes lodging, breakfast and dinner and instruction in mushroom identification. Details at www. wildaboutmushrooms.net.

NEW YORK — Bar Refaeli has a sweet spot for destinations that feed her sugar habit: The Israeli model picked the Necco candy factory near Boston and New York's Serendipity restaurant — home of the frozen hot chocolate — as two of her favorite places on a long, winding road trip of the U.S.

Refaeli's trip, taken with poet Rives (of HBO's "Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry"), was documented for the Bravo TV special "Ironic Iconic America," which aired Friday. The show airs again at 4 p.m. Monday on Bravo. Their road map was inspired by the coffee-table book "Iconic America: A Roller Coaster Ride Through the Eye-Popping Panorama of American Pop Culture," a collaboration between fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and art director George Lois published by Universe last year.

Refaeli, 23, has the young, wide eyes to experience places and things that Americans might be more blasé about. Sites on their tour include the American Museum of Natural History in New York, cheese-steak places in Philadelphia and the architectural case-study home known as the Eames House in Pacific Palisades, Calif.

GEORGETOWN, Colo. — Skiers take note: The snow is starting to fly, even if it is manmade.

Loveland Ski Area fired up its snow guns Sept. 23 with a goal of opening for the season sometime in October. An exact date hasn't been set.

The Rocky Mountains have already been dusted by natural snow, but Loveland crews had been waiting for colder nighttime temperatures and the right humidity to begin making more.

Nearby Arapahoe Basin Ski Area hasn't started making snow yet. A-Basin opened for the season last year on Oct. 10, making it the earliest resort to open in the nation for two straight years.

A-Basin spokeswoman Leigh Hierholzer says the ski area is trying for three in a row.
