THE ASPEN POETS’ SOCIETY will host its second annual Spotlight on Student Poets on Sunday, April 26 at Victoria’s Espresso & Wine Bar. The nonprofit is inviting Roaring Fork Valley elementary, middle and high school students to join the local poets for their monthly reading, encouraging all forms — from rondel to rap.

Students can sign up to perform by calling 970-379-2136.

CLIMBING GREAT TOMMY CALDWELL will be in Carbondale this weekend for the 5Point Film Festival, which has dubbed its Sunday afternoon program “Yosemite Sunday.”

Running from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on April 26, the event will include a presentation by Caldwell, who successfully free-climbed the El Capitan’s Dawn Wall in a historic ascent earlier this year. He’ll be joined at 5Point by climber Lynn Hill, emcee Chris Kalous and short films celebrating the Yosemite Valley.

Tickets and more information at www.5pointfilm.org. See more on the 5Point Film Festival on page 26 and in the Friday, April 24 edition of The Aspen Times.

ARTIST HELEN MIRRA wants to take a walk with you.

Mirra is in Aspen this spring, pursuing a “half-smile” experience and inviting locals to come along. The half-smile is a concept developed by the Vietnamese Buddhist author Thich Nhat Hanh, who wrote “We seem to move forward, but we don’t go anywhere; we are not drawn by a goal. Thus we smile while we are walking.”

Through May 1, anyone is invited to meet Mirra at 8:37 a.m. at the gazebo in Paepcke Park (Thursdays she’s offering a “lazy-day” option, starting at 10:07 a.m.). From there, participants will set out on their own for some agreed-upon length of time, aiming for a half-smile, before meeting Mirra for lunch. The meal is on the Aspen Art Museum, which is hosting Mirra as part of its ongoing “Second Chances” exhibition.

Mirra is calling the walks an “experience,” not art, though walking has long been a part of her practice. Her past work has included sounds from walks and prints of objects found along the way. She undertook a similar half-smile walking project in New York last year, as a companion to a show that included prints of “Walking Commas” and “Waulked Triangles.” The Aspen experience promises a chance to go off concrete and onto local trails.

More information at www.aspenartmuseum.org

Spectators gaze at El Capitan for a glimpse of climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson in Yosemite National Park in January. Caldwell will be a special guest at the 5Point Film Festival.

BRILLIANTLY HANDSOME


THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

WELL, THE REPUBLICAN DREAM MACHINE (or RDM for short) is in high gear already, and we still have 19 months to go before Election Day 2016.

The RDM, for instance, is blaming Hillary Rodham Clinton for the intransigence of Russian head thug Vladimir Putin, although what she could have done to forestall Russia’s rapid downward spin into belligerence and hostility toward anything remotely American is not exactly clear.

I got a chuckle out of some of the statements coming out of the recent GOP gathering in New Hampshire, where Republican hopefuls blindly spouted RDM doctrine against Clinton, the presumed nominee for the Democrats.

Former New York Gov. George Pataki was loudly derisive of Clinton’s much-publicized recent pit stop at a Chipotle restaurant in Ohio, where she apparently managed to buy a meal without being recognized by the staff at the place.

It appears, by the way, that she was at the counter on her own, without the usual phalanx of Secret Service agents and other handlers, though I can’t be certain of that.

In any event, the management remained clueless until they started getting phone calls from the media asking about the pit stop by the presidential wannabe.

For some reason, this little episode has the right wing in an uproar.

Pataki, who is somewhere near last place in Republican polls about the presidential race, apparently was trying to be funny when he remarked that he and his wife went into a Chipotle and they weren’t recognized, either.

Huh?Who in the hell would recognize Pataki

other than his wife, his entourage and the tiny number of people who think he should be our next president?

And exactly what point was he trying to make when he noted that his wife was not wearing sunglasses (Hillary was), that he was not “in disguise,” and that he left a tip (Hillary didn’t tip)?

First off, is he jealous over not having even a remote chance of being recognized under any circumstances, in any venue?

Second, if no one recognized him, why on earth would they recognize his wife?

And thirdly, if he is trying to show he is on the side of the working class by proclaiming his alleged tip (remember, no one can corroborate this), he’s really not fooling anyone but himself. It is his party that has declared itself irredeemably opposed to raising the minimum wage in this country, not Hillary’s.

In honor of his hapless display of cluelessness, I’ve got a new nickname for the former governor — Politically Pathetic

Pataki, or 3-P for short.Another shot from the

RDM dark nebula came from Rand Paul, who again trotted out the tragic killing of American diplomatic personnel during the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya, which Republicans have been blaming on either Obama or

Clinton ever since it happened.Precisely how the horrific events of

that attack could have been foreseen and prevented remains a mystery, of course, but that’s the glory of the RDM — facts are not needed, all that is needed is an appeal to the emotions of people who already suspect that Hillary, as a woman, would be almost as bad as Obama, a black man, at running America’s business.

The basic flaw of the RDM, of course, is their bedrock belief that everybody in the U.S. thinks just like the Republicans do, and will vote accordingly.

Republican strategists like to point to the 2014 midterm electoral results as justification for this belief.

But they conveniently forget that in 2008 and again in 2012, their idealized RDM candidates — John McCain and Mitt Romney— both were shellacked by that black man they so despise.

All that is proven by 2014 is that the American voter is as fickle as a drunken prom queen.

But the RDM will keep on cranking out its parade of hits, slamming away at Hillary for such non-issues as her use of a private email address while she was secretary of state (other former SOS chiefs have done the same ever since email was invented, and nobody yelled at them).

Happily, however, the Republican Party seems determined to prove yet again that it is its own worst enemy.

Take, for example, the party’s continued insistence that global warming has nothing to do with human activity, and that any other view of the issue is nothing but a lie concocted by liberals.

As proof, we have this from Florida, the state where the once-enticing term, “beachfront property” has become a “liquid asset” in the worst sense of that phrase, as rising sea levels threaten oceanside condos.

In Tallahassee, Gov. Rick Scott reportedly has issued a ban on the use of such troublesome words as “climate change” or “global warming” under any circumstance, in any context, apparently hoping the problem will go away if no one mentions it.

This view, of course, is the flip-side of the core Republican value that, if you repeat any lie often enough, people will begin to believe it.

And so it will go, as the RDM rolls on.

FROM the VAULTLEGENDS & LEGACIES

P H O T O C O U R T E S Y U . S . G E O L O G I C A L S U R V E Y

A system of faults and geologic structure determined Aspen’s leadership of the silver mining industry. These lucky factors extend from the end of the Castle Creek Valley all the way to Lenado. Because Lenado lies at the end of the zone and its geology is not as exposed at the surface, it did not receive the scrutiny that other areas did. Claims on the land were filed in the 1880s, but it took another 10 years before investors began serious exploration.

In 1890 the Pitkin County board of commissioners created a separate precinct for Lenado and appointed officials for the growing community. The precinct encompassed 17 buildings, mostly cabins. By 1893 there were nearly 200 registered voters, so the town — mostly men — likely had a larger population. During this period Lenado also got its own post office.

Several mines saw action, chief among them the Leadville. By 1890 that mine had extended a tunnel 900 feet. It doubled that distance to reach the contact zone. In 1895, after a brief holdup during the Panic of 1893, the tunnel reached payable ore. The

8-foot-wide vein was high in lead, but low in silver.

The Aspen Contact Company operated the Varney tunnel close to the Leadville. Another company

dug a tunnel into the opposite side of the valley.

The Daisy claim also was close to the Leadville. In 1895, Daisy miners found small pockets of 1000-ounce-per-ton silver ore. That discovery came at almost the same time that the Leadville announced it had found spectacular ore. The Leadville mine’s ore was the kind that could pay for a year’s exploration with just a few days of mining. Riches like those were found

in many small Aspen mines. But they were concentrated; surrounding ore was nowhere near that quality.

The vagaries of rising and falling mineral prices opened and closed

Lenado mines. A shutdown in 1897 lasted until 1900. The Leadville, then, added a 380-foot-deep shaft and removed $6.4 million (in today’s dollars) worth of ore. However, they were mining in a heavily faulted and fractured zone. Those flaws required expensive timbering to keep tunnels and stopes from collapsing. What’s more, they encountered water, and pumping costs pilfered profits.

Zinc prices improved and the

Contact Mine reopened in 1904. The Lenado ore typically yielded only eight ounces of silver per ton, but it was heavy in marketable lead and zinc. A mill constructed in 1905 boosted less profitable ore toward profitability, but the enterprise was short-lived. The following year the mine shut down due to dangerous timbering conditions. Then in 1907, an attempt was made to restart the milling operation. Unfortunately, lead and silver prices were still too low to make a profit.

After he shut his Smuggler Mine in 1919, David Hyman turned his attention to Lenado. Interest in Lenado continued into the mid-1920s primarily because the price of zinc had climbed to nearly $1 a pound, almost double what it had been a decade before. Lenado became a major zinc producer in the state for a few years until the price dropped.

During the mid-1920s mining resurged around Aspen. Interest grew in exploring a presumed mineral zone. The zone extended between the end of the Cowenhoven Tunnel — two miles from Aspen toward Lenado — and the end of the Lenado mines’ tunnels. The low silver content of Lenado mines discouraged connecting the two points. Silver, lead, and zinc ore surely remain in that gap of tunneling to this day.

Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at [email protected].

You think of Ashcroft, Tourtelotte Park or Independence when you think of local mining towns. Lenado is the forgotten one. Lenado had its moments in mining headlines and while it never reached the production levels of other regional mining centers, it contributed to Aspen’s mineral tally.

LENADO, FORGOTTEN MINING TOWN

AFTER HE SHUT HIS SMUGGLER MINE IN 1919, DAVID HYMAN TURNED HIS ATTENTION TO LENADO. INTEREST IN LENADO CONTINUED INTO THE MID-1920S PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE PRICE OF ZINC HAD CLIMBED TO NEARLY $1 A POUND, ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT IT HAD BEEN A DECADE BEFORE. LENADO BECAME A MAJOR ZINC PRODUCER IN THE STATE FOR A FEW YEARS UNTIL THE PRICE DROPPED.

The Aspen Contact Mine in Lenado produced payable ore when this photo was taken in 1895.

1943ASPEN

ON JULY 1, 1943, the Aspen Daily Times published an article under the heading “The Oddities of Mother Nature,” about a local couple who happened upon a peculiar tree. As the story noted, “Mr. and Mrs. William Anderson, recently discovered a very strange thing. A piece of tree surgery, a graft, done by Ma Nature, herself. Out Brush Creek way there are lots of quaking Aspens, and that is not odd, but when you find a limb that started to grow out, did so for a little while, then the tip of the branch turned in, entered the bark of the tree, grew clean through the wood and emerged on the other side, making a perfect handle for the section of the tree you will now see on display in the window of The Times, that is odd, believe me. Less astounding things have appeared in the ‘Believe It or Not’ cartoons.”

ON BOARD: BOOSTED BOARDS

GEAR of the WEEKFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

A PAVED PATH STRETCHES AHEAD, and I hit the accelerator control in my hand. The board under my feet whirs, wheels spinning to life, and I brace to rocket off on a ride from the future.

Boosted Boards have high-power electric motors and can roll for miles between charge-ups. Built with top-end materials and parts, they don’t come cheap, at $999 and up.

But for the cost you get what is among the coolest toys on the market. It’s so fun my friends and I fight over who gets the next ride.

Granted, this is not a children’s plaything — the board I am testing, the 2,000-watt Dual+ model, can go from zero to 22mph in seconds.

Its range is around 6 miles between plug-ins to refill the battery. In testing, at top speed I regularly passed bikers on a

commuter trail. The weird looks and stunned comments from pedestrians only added to the fun.

Boosted markets its boards for enjoyment as well as utility. They are bona fide city vehicles and an alternative to a bike. They make trips on smooth pavement to commute or run errands almost as effortless as standing still.

The boards even have brakes. The remote, which has a trigger and an acceleration wheel, gives control to speed up and slow down.

Or you can max it out. You can carve swooping turns on descents and (get this) on ascents as well. The motor is so powerful you’ll want a helmet and pads.

Boosted sells three models, with the $999 version coming to market this month. Its top model goes for $1,499, which is pricey but on

par with a nice city bike.Caveats? The boards are built tough, but

Boosted does not recommend hopping curbs. At 15 pounds, it’s a heavy ride, too.

Also, the board is not waterproof — leave it at home when there’s rain or you can damage the electronics and battery.

Finally, I want to emphasize safety during the Boosted experience. It’s easy to cruise and forget just how fast Newtonian physics can apply if you hit a crack.

Pay attention, and know how to control this board. I have longboarded for years so the learning curve was quick — my balance and ability to carve were key to controlling the electrified ride.

WINEINKFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

WHEN YOU WRITE ABOUT WINE, friends frequently are kind enough to try to serve something special when you come for dinner. It’s one of the perks of the

profession and, while it is not often that I find something really new this way, I am occasionally surprised.

Such was the case on a visit to a friend in New York. This person not only eschews alcohol in all forms, but he is

also one of those people who pompously pretends to scoff at the perceived pretentiousness of people who profess to prefer Pinot Noir over, say, Prosecco. (He is also in love with alliteration so the preponderance of “Ps” in that last sentence was strictly for his benefit.)

Anyway, Mr. Alliteration, or “Mr. A.” as we’ll call him, had been gifted by a previous guest who had brought him a bottle of Chardonnay. Mr. A. pulled it from his fridge and, with a little faux flourish, poured me a glass. And it was pretty good. In fact it was very good.

The surprise wasn’t that it was good. No, rather it was the wine’s provenance that threw me. It was a 2013 Jefferson Vineyards Reserve Chardonnay from, of all places, Charlottesville, Va.

Now I know that there are bonded wineries in all 50 states and I have tasted wines from many of them, including Wisconsin, Missouri, Texas, New Mexico, even North Carolina, in my quest to gain a more well-rounded understanding of the great American wine list. But with a few exceptions (New Mexico’s Gruet winery being most prominent) when I venture out of the “Big Four” wine producing states — California, Washington, New York and Oregon — my tastings have generally introduced me to more novelties than revelations.

But, as I began to research Jefferson Vineyards and wines from the Charlottesville area, I learned that the region is not just

known for producing quality wine, it also has played a significant role in the heritage of American wine. In fact, Virginia promotes itself as the birthplace of American wine and cites a history that goes back to 1609 when records show vines were planted near Jamestown Colony.

Today, the Monticello Appellation, so designated as an American Viticultural Area, surrounds Charlottesville and is home to over 20 wineries as well as both the University of Virginia and Monticello itself, the home of Thomas Jefferson. It is one of six appellations in Virginia, which ranks in the top 10 states (depending upon criteria used) in wine production. Virginia currently has over 250 registered wineries.

The story goes that Jefferson, who was determined to build a stately home on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains (Monticello means “little mountain”) to the south and west of Washington D.C. in the late 1760s, was enamored with fine wines. “America’s first wine connoisseur,” as Jefferson is sometimes referred to, had the good fortune to meet an Italian entrepreneur who had made his way from England. Fillipo Mazzei convinced Jefferson to plant 400 acres of grape vines on a parcel adjoining his Monticello home. While the attempt was a noble effort, the results were less than stellar due to a variety of pest, mildew and other issues.

Eventually the project withered, but the idea that grapes could grow in the region remained.

In 1981, the owners of the original properties planted by Mazzei and Jefferson decided to try, try again and replanted 20 acres of the ancestral vineyards. These vineyards are within sight of Monticello and are thriving. Jefferson Vineyards makes the Chardonnay that I tasted, a Reserve Chardonnay and a number of other varietals, including Pinot Gris, Viognier and a Meritage, a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

While much of this history was new to me, I did know something about Jefferson’s history as a collector. In 1985, Phillip Forbes, of the Forbes Magazine family, had purchased a bottle of 1787 Château Lafite that was engraved with

“1787 Lafite Th.J” on the bottle. It was sold as a priceless relic from Thomas Jefferson’s private stash. Subsequently, four bottles of the same wine were sold to Bill Koch. The problem was, the wines were deemed to be fakes. A book about the scandal, “The Billionaire’s Vinegar: The Mystery of the World’s Most Expensive Bottle of Wine,” by Benjamin Wallace, has been optioned by Hollywood for possible production.

It all goes to show that wine stories can come from any place.

Even a visit to a teetotaler.

UNDER THE INFLUENCEJEFFERSON VINEYARDS 2013 RESERVE CHARDONNAYCrisp and clean and a little green. Green as in green apples. This wine was a surprise on the palate as it was rich and well-rounded with the first sip. A great pairing with either salmon or a chicken dish, at around $25 a bottle at the winery, it is a great example of what can be done in the vineyards of Virginia.

IF YOU WANT A TASTE...


FOOD MATTERS

A FRIEND STOPPED ME on the street as I was heading to Sky Hotel for Aspen Mountain Closing Day festivities on Sunday afternoon. “Where can we go to eat right now?”

she asked. Her pal looked as perplexed as she did. It was 4 p.m., that weird hour between lunch and dinner—and the weekend when many restaurants in town close for an offseason break. I’ve actually dreamt about the short-rib tacos at

Jimmy’s Bodega, so I suggested the Mill Street Mall spot, which opened at 2:30 p.m. “We didn’t even think of that,” she replied with a huge smile. “Perfect!”

Turns out, Sunday was Bodega’s final day of service until it reopens on May 14. Even Jimmy’s Restaurant, a fixture since 1997, takes a break on May 2-14. Justice Snow’s, another local favorite, has a new offseason menu, but shutters May 11-22 to give workers a much-deserved break. Most restaurants around town stagger closing dates, but a select few remain open every single day (see “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop,” opposite page).

Meat & Cheese Restaurant & Farm Shop is one such offseason warrior. Open daily for lunch and dinner, the kitchen features a new spring menu and inventive Taco of the Day, such as steak with arugula, horseradish sauce, and pickled red onion. Experimental specials are offered occasionally, too, such as a chicken-fried buffalo ribeye steak with zippy green sauce and hollandaise, alongside sautéed spinach and a house-made biscuit.

Then there are also some great local deals. Perhaps most celebrated are those at Rustique Bistro, which I visited on Saturday to take advantage of a biggie: 50 percent off food plus 10 percent off bottles of wine. Our trio feasted on steak au poivre, risotto with short ribs, and duck confit à l’orange; sipped white and red; split sorbet; and gasped out loud when the bill arrived, literally. The dining room was packed. Rustique’s discount weeks have been a hit for years.

“[It’s] always fun to have all the

locals come in,” says owner Rob Ittner, who has built a following since 2002. “No rhyme or reason to the 30 percent, 50 percent. We just try to have fun and bring in business.”

Rustique’s bi-annual offseason pre-fixe menu began on Tuesday: two courses starting at $34. And Fried Chicken Night ($26/three courses) is back every Thursday. Though open throughout spring, the restaurant closes on Sunday and Monday, to facilitate a major facelift to the restaurant’s interior.

“It’s an exciting time at Rustique,” Ittner says. “We’re recovering walls with naturally oiled white oak, a little bit knotty but also a very clean look. Refined yet rustic. Soft to the touch, helps with sound. (See photo, opposite.) All work will be done on Mondays and Tuesdays so it won’t interrupt business Tuesday through Saturday night.”

Similarly, Campo de Fiori, an Aspen mainstay since 1994, takes a one-week break for maintenance, re-opening for the remainder of offseason next Tuesday, April 28. Tuesday through Saturday nights, diners receive 25 percent off the entire bill (food, wine, and liquor), excluding a lower-priced bar menu, which returns for this period as well. New this year: Campo Tuesdays, featuring nightly bar specials, such as a calamari or caprese salad appetizer and cocktail for $15.

“We’re always special,” says Aidan Wynn of El Rincon, which remains open daily during offseason. “We keep it reasonably priced so locals always have a place to go. You can come in and eat dinner for $17.”

On Tuesdays, El Rincon slings beef and chicken street tacos at an unheard-of-in-Aspen price: five for $5. A ticket to the annual Kentucky Derby Party on May 2 costs $30 and includes four drinks and food; a Cinco de Mayo pig roast (held outside, weather permitting) is free to attend, and plates of food are $16.

Again, Mezzaluna offers a slew of specials: 25 percent off meals Monday to Wednesday; $1 oysters starting at 3 p.m. on Wednesday; $30 three-course prix-fixe on Friday and Saturday; 25 percent off wine; and more.

For other restaurants, however, it doesn’t make sense to stay open. Take The Little Nell, which closed

Sunday for annual cleaning and property improvement. “As an extension of the hotel it’s only logical to close Ajax Tavern, too,” says PR and marketing coordinator Andy Luersen. “There is no real reason to stay open in the spring, (though) we normally do stay open during the fall offseason.”

Ajax Tavern reopens on May 14, but if Aspen Skiing Company gives us a bonus weekend — skis crossed! — the Tavern will likely set up a remote bar with burgers, beers, and, understandably, a tiny staff.

“Some people have just had it!” says Annette Docimo of Annette’s Mountain Bake Shop, which closed on Saturday and reopens the last week May. “They need a break.” As a baker who works long hours in a hot, cramped kitchen, Docimo is thrilled to visit her daughter in Zurich, Switzerland.

No doubt, to survive in Aspen as a restaurateur is tough, and the current real-estate spree of a few buyers has changed our dining landscape. In the past two months alone we’ve bid adieu to beloved restaurants new and old: Finbarr’s (three years), Johnny McGuire’s (24 years), and Takah Sushi (34 years). Unsubstantiated rumors swirl around the possible closing of The Wild Fig (12 years), perhaps a side effect of a lawsuit that saw its owners paying nearly $200,000 in back wages and

damages to former employees last fall. There’s chatter that Zeno Aspen, which replaced Il Mulino in 2013 after the New York import survived only three years in the Residences at The Little Nell, will become a club. We shall see.

More changes in the past year or so: La Palapa morphed into Native Roots, Aspen’s sixth pot shop; La Cantina was reincarnated as El Rincon; Ute City cleared out, making way for artist Tania Dibbs’s wintertime pop-up gallery; the old Above the Salt space became R&R Restaurant, which quickly turned into The Grey Lady; and Jimmy’s Bodega opened where Pacifica stood for years.

Little Annie’s, which takes a break on April 28, reopens May 6. That’s good news — for now. Will David Burke Kitchen — apparently disassociated from the celebrity chef, except in name, following various lawsuits — really open before the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen as planned? Time will tell.

In the meantime, if you’re staying around Aspen this offseason, venture out to eat once in a while. The dozen-plus eateries that offer service nonstop until the crowds and chaos return in June deserve our appreciation.

Feeling bitter? Get in line. These days anyone who takes their

drinking seriously is getting intimate with bitters. Fueled

largely by the hard liquor and artisanal cocktail booms, bitters

— those astringent, potent flavor enhancers added by the drop

to cocktails — have become a big business. Ten years ago you’d

have been challenged to find much beyond those ubiquitous

Angostura and Peychaud’s bitters. Today, bitters are made

with everything from celery and rhubarb to Mexican chocolate

and Colonial-era spice blends. Yet even with this delicious

abundance, it’s OK to want more. The good news is that custom

bitters are easy to crank out in your own kitchen.

But first, a bitter primer. Bitters often are described as the salt

of the cocktail world. A drop added to a drink — and sometimes

food — doesn’t just add flavor, it heightens, highlights and ties

together all the other ingredients, as well. Most bitters are

made by distilling herbs, seeds, roots and other ingredients.

The result is a thin liquid with a — Surprise! — bitter or

bittersweet taste and a robust aroma. Many bitters — including

Angostura — originated a medicines. We’ve mostly abandoned

that idea, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some therapeutic

value in a good cocktail... While the Internet abounds with

recipes and methods for making your own bitters, I’ve found

most of them unnecessarily fussy and tedious. So I started

experimenting with basic techniques and recipes and soon

discovered how simple it really is to make your own. I’ve since

perfected two techniques, one that works in about 30 minutes,

another that takes a few days. It really just depends on how

much time you’ve got.

Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher,

Gunilla Asher, who died June 2 after a brave battle with

cancer. Cheers - to Gunner!

As the name suggests, at least one of your ingredients should have a bitter (or astringent) flavor. Citrus peel is ideal for this. I generally use just the thin zest layer of the peel from oranges or limes, though I once used whole kumquats. You also could use rhubarb, cranberries, fresh basil or mint. Whole produce, such as kumquats, should be scored with a knife.

Next, pick something sweet. Usually, some sort of fruit is helpful here, such as lemon or lime slices, cherries, apples, berries or mango. Anything large (such as an apple) should be chopped.

Now, grab something spicy. Cinnamon, star anise, black peppercorns, cumin and nutmeg are all delicious. If you like a little heat, consider adding a hot pepper.

The important thing is that you select flavors and ingredients that you like and that you think will work together. It also helps if you have a cocktail or spirit in mind when making your bitters. I’m a fan of the classic old fashioned made with bourbon. I don’t add much sugar to my drink, but I do like sweetly-fruity bitters, so I often go with flavors such as cranberry-orange-cinnamon. Sometimes I add a vanilla bean.

Finally, you need vodka. You will be using all of these ingredients to infuse the vodka, which ultimately will become the bitters. Don’t go top shelf for the vodka; just grab a jug of the cheap stuff.

FAST METHODReady for fun with science? This is where we get

to use the boiling point of alcohol — a low 176 F — to our advantage.

First, heat a large pot of water to 176 F. Use a candy thermometer hooked to the side of the pot to monitor this. Now dump all of the ingredients outlined in the slow method above into a heat-safe plastic bag (the bags used by vacuum sealers are a good choice), pressing out as much air as possible.

Submerge the bag in the warm water. In a few minutes (depending on the temperature of your ingredients), you’ll see the vodka in the bag bubbling gently. Let it do that for about 10 minutes. Remove the bag from the water and let it cool for another 15 or so minutes. Strain and reduce as described in the slow method. Done. Almost instant cocktail bitters. The bitters will keep in the refrigerator for a month.

ASPEN UNTUCKEDFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE by BARBARA PLATTS

LET’S TALK HOUSING for a moment. Because I know you haven’t heard enough talk in the City Council debates or at the Next Gen meetings. And Lord knows you’re

not getting a large earful from your friends or acquaintances who are struggling to put a roof over their heads.

So since you haven’t heard enough about it, I figured it was my turn to pipe up. As we head into the offseason, three of my close friends are frantically looking

for new places to live. They all have requests, or really restrictions, that have made the whole process difficult. One has a dog, another only plans to be here for the summer and the third wants to live within walking distance to town. In most communities these three requests would not be too difficult to accommodate, but in Aspen you might as well be asking to buy a mansion on Red Mountain for half of the listed price.

Though apparently, these are not just Aspen problems. All over the country rent prices are raising. The average monthly rent is now $1,124, a 14 percent increase since 2010. By next year it’s expected to grow to $1,161.

But, why this large increase in

rent prices? Well, more people (particularly those damn Millennials) are finally getting jobs after the recession. They’ve told their mom and dad that they are tired of living in the basement and they’re ready to go out and find a place of their own. With more renters on the market, demand and price go up and we are left to find a place or head back to our childhood homes for a third, or maybe fourth, time. Plus, we are commitment phobes. We insist on renting because we have no idea where we want to end up and would rather trot the globe for a decade or two to figure it out.

Next to the fact that rent prices have increased — and our salaries haven’t — is the issue of accessibility. Aspen is maxed out on room yet more and more people want to live here. Our community has no plans to grow higher or wider. We aren’t adding more floors to buildings and we certainly aren’t growing out and taking over national forest space. We wouldn’t want to even if we could because part of the charm of this place is its quaint size.

Most people would say it’s a better investment to buy than rent and, in this point in the conversation might recommend joining the housing lottery. I agree that this is a great tool for people who are undoubtedly leaving roots in town. But many of us are still unsure if that is what we

want. We are focused on the here and now and can you blame us? We have been in such an unstable economy since we graduated college that we can’t commit to staying in one place forever. We go where the opportunities present themselves. No, this has not been the traditional model from generations before us, but we are in such an uncertain economical terrain that it’s hard for us to commit to a 30-year mortgage. There is the option for short-term rental in employee housing, but this is based on income levels and can often be difficult to qualify for (we will save that for another column though).

So where does this leave us? It’s always a bit fun to complain about something but without a resolution we are nowhere and, in this case, we are homeless. Many city council members and particularly candidates that are running to join have opinions on how to fix this issue.

Mostly, due to my after work libations at Justice Snow’s, I’ve talked to city council candidate Keith Goode about his opinions. He considers this issue to be one of the biggest ones facing Aspen today. He believes that the Aspen Chamber needs a full-time auditor position to follow up on properties once a unit has been sold. He also believes it should be a priority for future building projects to include rental

properties. And he is just one of the many candidates putting forth ideas to help solve the problem.

After spending some time looking into this issue, I’ve realized it goes a lot deeper than I originally thought and will probably take more columns and more research to figure out my exact stance on the matter. We all seem to know it’s a problem, but we haven’t figured out the best way to solve that problem yet. However, we do have elections coming up May 5 and I would urge everyone to participate.

It’s up to us to shape the community we want to live in and there are a lot of passionate city council candidates with good ideas. I would also urge people to pay attention to the stories that come out in both of our newspapers. Political rhetoric can be dull sometimes, but these are issues that affect us and we have talented reporters who are covering this topic everyday. So pick up a newspaper, read it and get involved.

Oh…and fight for more pet- friendly housing please…

WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING the environment, clichés are everywhere: “Earth Day, Every Day,” “Think Globally, Act Locally,” “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” ... the list goes on and on. But for many Roaring Fork Valley residents, the desire to save the

land they love drives their every move. So, as another Earth Day comes and goes, we decided to honor a half-dozen locals making a difference. We hope you’ll find their passion for the environment contagious and their calls to action inspirational.

WHO’S MAKING A DIFFERENCE

IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORLD


Aspen Skiing Co. has pulled off some noteworthy environmental feats to become a leader of its industry.

It worked with partners to build a plant that produces electricity from methane emitted from a coal plant.

It nurtured scores of ecological projects and organizations with grants through its employee environment fund.

It reduced its carbon footprint through vigilance in energy efficiency.

All those efforts are important to build the company’s credibility, acknowledged the company’s two-person environmental team — Vice President of Sustainability Auden Schendler and Manager of Sustainability and Corporate Contributions Matt Hamilton. But they aren’t overly impressed with what they have helped the company accomplish.

Climate change is “the issue of our time” so the company must add its voice to try to change policy in Washington, D.C., said Schendler.

“You’re not a green company if you’re not doing climate advocacy, period,” he said.

Skico is trying to use snow sports as a lever to drive change. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is about as appealing as Spam in the eyes of many people in their 20s and 30s. So how can the company help make it at least slightly more visible and popular? By inviting EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy during the Winter X Games and having her take pictures and record messages with many top athletes to demonstrate that the agency and activist athletes are on the same page.

Skico works extremely close with a nonprofit called Protect Our Winters on lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C. POW harnesses the appeal of winter sports athletes like Aspen’s Gretchen Bleiler and Chris Davenport to open doors of members of Congress that otherwise would remain closed.

Schendler is realistic about what the lobby efforts can accomplish. “You’re not convincing Scott Tipton to change,” he said of Aspen’s Republican Congressman. But getting immersed in environmental education fires up the athletes working on the issue and inspires them to find other avenues to spread the message, he said.

Hamilton and Schendler also spend a fair amount of time themselves traveling to Washington, D.C., on lobbying efforts. Aspen’s name draws attention, they said.

What frames the company’s work, Schendler said, is conservative estimates that the current path will result in the Earth’s temperature rising 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. “That ends Aspen,” Schendler said.

Dorothea Farris doesn’t consider herself an “environmentalist” despite following earth-friendly practices all her life.

Growing up in New Jersey during World War II made reuse, recycle and reduce a way of life, not a catchy slogan.

“Recycling was not a word,” said Farris, 79. “You used everything until it fell apart.

“The idea of recycling was an idea we lived with not something we had to be taught,” she added.

The former 12-year Pitkin County Commissioner, Aspen School District Board of Education member, and member of the Colorado Division of Wildlife’s governing commission has followed the same earth-friendly ethic as a 50-year resident of the Roaring Fork Valley. She recalls protesting the first stop sign installed on Aspen’s Main Street. She traveled to Rulison, Colo., in 1969 to protest underground nuclear explosions in an experiment to loosen oil and gas reserves; the effort was organized by the late artist and activist Tom Benton.

During her 25 years in Woody Creek and 25 years in Carbondale, where she now resides with her husband Doug, Farris never advocated for preventing more people from moving to the Roaring Fork Valley. She’s advocated for them to live in a manner compatible with the valley’s environmental ethic and small-town way of living. Farris said her philosophy is simple — we need to protect this place where we all love to live. The concept can be applied on a larger scale.

“We better do it right because it’s the world we’re going to live in,” she said.Farris was a founder of the Thompson Divide Coalition, a coalition of

ranchers, hunters, anglers, wilderness advocates and people who partake in all types of outdoor recreation who wanted to prevent oil and gas extraction from expanding in an area southwest of Carbondale.

“In my time, it had been the first of its kind,” she said of the broad coalition. She remains on its board of directors.

Farris continues working various causes, prime among them is advocating for

the federal government’s wild and scenic status for an upper stretch

of the Crystal River, from the headwaters high in wilderness

to the Sweet Jessup diversion between Redstone and Carbondale. It would ensure the Crystal would keep its unique status as one of the few rivers without a dam or trans-mountain diversion.

On the one hand, Nina Beidleman is like so many Aspen teenagers — she loves to ski and climb and explore the outdoors; she does well in school, keeps busy with extracurricular activities and is making plans for life after high school.

On the other hand, Beidleman is one-of-a-kind. As president of Aspen High’s Earth Club, Beidleman works tirelessly to protect the planet. She marches to her own drummer, which means sticking to her guns when it comes to the environment.

“Well, I think every day should be Earth Day,” said the 17-year-old Beidleman, who was born and raised in Aspen. “I think we should always be thinking about how what we are doing is affecting the world around us.”

Of course that’s easier said than done, especially when it comes to influencing her peers and the school system. But that’s exactly what Beidleman did when the Earth Club – under her leadership — was able to get the school cafeteria to switch from throw-away plates and silverware to reusables.

“It was a really big deal. It took a lot of work, and some people still don’t like it or get it,” she explained. “But it’s a great step forward.”

For her part, Beidleman has plenty of ideas for improving her school’s environmental report card. And she has plenty of ideas for ways to affect change beyond school walls.

“I’d love to save the world,” she said with a slight laugh. “But I know that all I can do is keep trying to do my part.”

Toward that end, Beidleman said she will continue working with the Earth Club; next on her to-do list is the creation of a sustainable garden outside the school.

And when her high school career comes to an end (Beidleman will graduate in 2016), this outdoorswoman sees herself remaining an outdoorswoman.

“I’d like to be a mountaineering guide — not just because I love the outdoors, but because I love teaching people about the outdoors and how important it is to us all,” she said. “I don’t see myself as an environmentalist, but I guess I am in some ways.

“I can’t imagine not being involved in outdoor pursuits and sharing that with others.”

Chris Lane is closing in on three years as chief executive officer of Aspen Center for Environmental Studies. It would be tough enough to take the helm of a revered organization in a place like Aspen, where expectations are as high as the mountains. It was even tougher succeeding the highly respected Tom Cardamone.

Lane, the embodiment of frenetic energy, was up to the task. “When I was hired the board said, ‘We want you to make ACES even better than it is,’” he said.

Lane believes he and his staff have steered the environmental nonprofit in new directions. Rock Bottom Ranch in Emma is evolving into a model of sustainable agriculture in a way that is replicable by other organizations or people. There’s more to come. ACES secured a $240,000 grant to construct trails into the ranch and wildlife refuge from the Rio Grande Trail, add interpretative stations and restore wetlands. The ranch staff is also on a rapid growth kick in raising livestock — pigs and chickens in particular — and growing vegetables in greenhouses and gardens.

“We brought life back to that place,” Lane said.ACES has also ramped up environmental education. It has 10

environmental educators operating programs in the schools of Aspen, Basalt and Carbondale. Lane labels the effort the “heart and soul” of ACES’ efforts. The program reaches 4,600 students, including a high number of Latinos.

Lane said the intent is clear — get them “hooked on environmental science.”

During his tenure, the organization has also integrated For the Forests, an independent environmental group working to maintain and restore forest health in the Aspen area. Under the ACES umbrella, the focus has included establishing an annual Forest Health Index, which uses scientific data such as snowpack levels and annual temperatures to gauge the state of the upper valley forest.

In essence, it measures the effects of climate change, Lane said.In the near future, he said, the organization’s goal is to do what it

does better. The top priority is to add quality to all of its programming. That’s saying something. Charity Navigator, a top analyst of nonprofits, rated ACES No. 1 in its class of environmental nonprofits.

On the world stage, Gretchen Bleiler might be best know for her snowboarding career. Rightly so — the Aspen native is an Olympic silver medalist and four-time X Games gold medalist.

But after years of chasing snow around the globe, Bleiler began to see the world with new eyes. She saw, first-hand, the effects of climate change.

“The outdoors has always been a big part of my life, so when I had the opportunity to travel the world, it became very apparent to me that winter was changing,” Bleiler said. “And it became very apparent to me that we had to talk about it — now.”

So with the same competitive spirit that landed her on so many podiums, Bleiler joined the environmental movement as an advocate for change. It is not a role she ever thought she’d fill.

“Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be doing something like this,” said Bleiler, who currently sits on the board of Protect Our Winters (POW), where she joins other like-minded snow sport athletes and activists in lobbying those on Capitol Hill about the importance of a clean environmental future. “It was never something I was interested in; I never considered myself an environmentalist.

“But I realized that, as an athlete, I had a platform and could possibly affect change.”

In addition to her work with POW, Bleiler has used her influence to reach people on a grassroots level. She is host of the well-received “Hot Planet/Cool Athletes” educational video series, she speaks publicly often, and is an entrepreneur. With her husband, Chris Hotell, Bleiler launched ALEX bottle in 2010. A stainless steel reusable bottle, these bottles are unlike others on the market as they open in the middle for easier cleaning, retract for easy travel and storage, and are designed to work for people on the go.

“We saw a problem and wanted to create a product that supported a sustainable lifestyle,” Bleiler explained, noting that ALEX stand for Always Live Extraordinarly. “None of this was part of some greater plan for my life, but I think that’s the cool thing about my story – it’s all just unfolded based on my deep passion for the outdoors.”

In fact, Bleiler believes an organic approach to environmentalism might be the way to face what is currently an uphill battle: “If we follow where the energy takes us —keeping in mind the world we want for our children and their children and their children’s children — positive change is not just possible, it’s inevitable.”

VOYAGES ESCAPE ARTIST | KENNEDY SPACE CENTER

FOR MANY YEARS, during family trips to Florida’s Space Coast, located about one hour east from Orlando, we would wake early to watch rockets launch from the beach. My

parents would bring hot chocolate for the kids, coffees for the adults, and we would sit on the beach in the early morning and watch as the bright fire of rocket engines filled the sky. Whether it was the launch of a small rocket or a space shuttle, the idea that there was

a world beyond our own always fascinated me, as it continues to do today. It’s a tradition we have kept going with our own children.

While in Florida in March, I took my children, ages 9 and 6, to Kenney Space Center on Cape Canaveral. It had been 30 years since I had last visited as a fourth-grader, and I remember it being a mind-bending experience, at the height of the space shuttle program’s popularity.

Cape Canaveral itself is a beautiful area. Because of the sensitive nature of the work done at Kennedy, the 1,400 acres that surrounds the center is virtually uninhabited. According to NASA, Cape Canaveral was chosen as the space program’s base because of its remote location. It enabled them to inspect, fuel and launch missiles without danger to nearby communities. The Floridian climate also permitted year-round operations, and rockets could be launched over water instead of

populated areas. The first launch from the Cape

was conducted by a military-civilian team on July 24, 1950. The rocket, a modified German V-2 with an attached upper stage, attained an altitude of 10 miles. By the late 1950s, the military services had elevated their sights from missile testing to launching artificial satellites. On Jan. 31, 1958, America’s first satellite, Explorer I, launched from Launch Complex-26 at Cape Canaveral by a military-civilian team from the Army’s Missile Firing Laboratory.

Although the funding for NASA has been severely cut in recent years, the agency still received $16.6 billion for 2014, and with a portion of those funds, Kennedy Space Center is able to remain a real spaceport, supporting a variety of government projects. They still use the launch pads, conduct research, create new space craft and support the International Space Station. But on the visitor’s side, much has changed at Kennedy since my first visit — and for the better.

Kennedy Space Center has taken some cues from other Florida theme parks, and has been able to make the serious science behind space exploration interesting to everyone by grouping its subjects into different areas of interest like early space travel, missions to Mars, even the environment and history of that area of Florida.

The kids enjoyed seeing how space equipment has evolved over the years, roaming amongst a collection of space suits, capsules and through

the Rocket Garden, which is now home to authentic rockets from the past, including a Mercury-Atlas rocket. The garden also features climb-in Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsule replicas, seating pods and informative graphic elements.

Included in the price of admission was the KSC Tour, which takes guests on a narrated excursion with self-paced stops at the Launch Complex 39 observation gantry to view space shuttle launch pads; the Apollo/Saturn V Center to relive the launch of Apollo 8 from mission control, walk beneath a massive Saturn V rocket and enjoy “front-row seats” as a human lands on the moon.

Guests can also feel what it was really like inside a space shuttle launch with the “Shuttle Launch Experience” simulation facility. New additions to the complex include “Eye on the Universe: The Hubble Space Telescope,” a pathway where guests can enjoy the powerful imagery taken by NASA’s crown jewel; “Treasures Gallery,” an exhibit in the Apollo/Saturn V Center with artifacts from the Apollo moon missions; and “Exploration Station,” a 10,000-square-foot interactive classroom that is always staffed with a member of Kennedy’s Educator Resource Center. Long-time favorites include the Rocket Garden and Shuttle Plaza.

The kids particularly enjoyed a film on the Hubble Space Telescope at the onsite IMAX theater. It made a massive impression, one they continue to discuss today.

There is also another side to the

spaceport. All but the operational areas of Kennedy are designated as the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, including 25 miles of undeveloped beach that forms the Canaveral National Seashore. More than 500 species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians are found here. Some, like the American bald eagle, sea turtle, wood stork, alligator and the ponderous manatee, or sea cow, are on the endangered or threatened species list. Most of the refuge and all of the seashore is open to visitors during daylight hours, except when space operations require a closure.

At $50 per adult and $40 per child, it is best to plan an entire day at Kenney to get your money’s worth. When we return, “Lunch with an Astronaut,” will be on our agenda. For $30, a buffet lunch includes a presentation by a veteran astronaut, followed by a question and answer session.

Overall, the experience has ignited a great interest in space, science and exploration in our children, and Kennedy Space Center is a place we will return with them again and again.

Upon arriving to Kennedy Space Center, I was immediately reminded of the legacy of Gordon Cooper, whose mother, Hattie Cooper, retired to Carbondale in the 1950s. When the idea for a library in Carbondale was proposed, Hattie, suggested it be name for her son as he was about to embark on the first-manned Mercury Project flight.

MOUNTAINMAYHEM The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN by MAY SELBY

SKI SEASON 2014/2015FOR A WINTER that wasn’t (in regards to less than expected snowpack), it was a winter that was (as in exciting news and events). From marriage proposals to growing families to community benefits to career milestones to on-mountain antics to après-ski revelry, this past season was chock full of celebrations.

Among them, the Après-Ski Cocktail Classic nicely segued from Snowmass to

Aspen this spring with highlights being the Pub Crawl through town and the Grand Tastings at the base of the mountain. Aspen Magazine’s midwinter issue release party was a blending of generations. The likes of Klaus Obermeyer represented Aspen’s history with their lasting legacy while scores of Millennials who currently grace the magazine’s pages symbolized the future.

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE by ANDREW TRAVERS

FORTY-PLUS SHORT FILMS, 35 guest speakers, and four days of outdoor inspiration in Carbondale. Yep, it’s 5Point Film Festival time.

The annual gathering, since its founding in 2008, has become more movement than movie showcase — a call to action for a adventurers of all stripes to inspire awe through something more meaningful than hucking the biggest cliffs.

Headquartered in the Carbondale Rec Center, over the four days of 5Point locals mix easily with filmmakers and world-renowned adventurers (this year’s slate includes climber Tommy Caldwell, who in January completed a historic free climb of El Capitan’s Dawn Wall, and pioneering alpinist Jeff Lowe, who is currently battling ALS).

Curated with its titular five points — respect, commitment, humility, purpose and balance — the festival has a spirit about it that’s hard to put in words and impossible to replicate.

The diverse films in this year’s lineup range from “Baybe Champ and the Scraper Bikes,” about a bicycle arts movement in Oakland that has transformed the lives of at-risk kids there, to local photographer/filmmaker Pete McBride’s “Delta Dawn” about stand-up paddling the Colorado river delta, to “An Education,” about a father-daughter trek across Antarctica, to the kayak adventure of “Rey Del Rio.”

The movie screenings include 12 world premieres, across six film programs, beginning with 7 p.m. lineups on Thursday and Friday night. Saturday morning includes a special Youth Adventure Film program, with all-ages-friendly offerings and animation (free for kids under 13).

Artist and rock climber Jeremy Collins’ four-years-in-the-making “Drawn” plays in a Saturday afternoon double feature with “Jeff Lowe’s Metanoia,” with both men in attendance. Saturday night’s 7 p.m. film program is hosted by Carbondale poet Wade Newsom, whose

performances of the spoken word poem “Participate” have become a 5Point staple (Newsom also recently published the collection “Poetic Notions,” and will sign books Sunday at 1 p.m. alongside other attending authors).

The festival closes out with “Yosemite Sunday,” hosting presentations by Caldwell, climber Lynn Hill and a final stretch of screenings.

Between the films and speakers, there’s an ice cream social, late-night parties around town and artist Chris Erickson’s community public art installation at the Rec Center, asking attendees to share what places draw them and why. Some off-screen highlights from the festival:

KICKOFF PARTY AND VAN LIFE RALLYThursday, April 23, 5 -7 p.m.FreeLive music, lawn games, barbecue,

beer and open house tours of some of the finest dirtbag digs you’ll ever see. Livable vehicles lined up along Colorado Avenue will be open for tours. Seeing the inspiring converted vans that bring adventurers to their destinations has been a social highlight of recent 5Point gatherings.

by ANDREW TRAVERS

WHEN I WAS MOVING TO ASPEN in the summer of 2007, I drove from New Orleans with, among my few possessions, a small library of books on this place: Kathleen Krieger Daily and Gaylord Guenin’s “The Quiet Years,” Ted Conover’s “Whiteout” and Peggy Clifford’s “To Aspen and Back.”

Almost eight years later, I’d still rank those atop the list of books on Aspen, along with Kurt Brown’s indispensible 2012 memoir “Lost Sheep: Aspen’s Counterculture in the 1970s.” But slowly and steadily — aided by the advent of expedited self-publishing — more books and more experiences of Aspen have made it onto the bookshelves.

Among the latest is Kirk VanHee’s “Against the Wind,” which uses a ski bum narrative to drive an addiction memoir.

VanHee lived here from 1967 to 1975, during the town’s dropout heyday. But his book offers a vital counterargument

to all the tales of hard-partying, hard-skiing hippie glory you’ve heard from old-timers. As VanHee explains, there was a dark side to that, and it nearly killed him. By the time he left, he writes, “‘I was 27 and had done little with my life other than become a vey, very good skier and a very, very good drug dealer.”

It’s an interesting counterpoint to another new Aspen book, Jeff Howe’s novel “Into the Roaring Fork,” which uses a ski-bum drug-runner character as the protagonist in a thriller.

Much of VanHee’s book is about what drove VanHee to Aspen — his troubled upbringing in Omaha and Denver, with a stint in military school. As he settled into ski town life, he experimented with drugs before growing woefully addicted to them, eventually dropping his job washing dishes at the Mother Lode to run drugs, supporting both his skiing and snorting habits.

“Against the Wind” opens with a visceral first-person take on getting caught in an avalanche out-of-bounds on Aspen Mountain, which is some of the best writing I’ve come across about facing death in the mountains. But local readers will also, no doubt, be annoyed by some of VanHee’s over-explanations (“pow” is powder-like snow, “Ajax” is Aspen Mountain, etc.)

In the end, VanHee makes it out of the avalanche and turns his life around — struggling toward sobriety and leaving Aspen for Denver and then Vail, where he became a real estate broker. If the idea of a hero skier from ‘70s Aspen turning into a Vail dirt pimp is less than inspiring to you, give VanHee a chance to tell you about his journey anyway. You’ll be rooting for him by the end.
