What will BHS students be doing this winter break? By J.D. Glenn You wake up and see a world of crisp white snow. You look at your alarm clock and notice it’s 10 a.m. That’s awfully peculiar, consider- ing the fact that you were supposed to be in school two hours ago. You leave your bed, a bit confused but hopeful at the same time. Oh. It’s winter break. You are now left with a variety of activities to choose from. Winter break has many meanings. It could be to catch up on sleep, to get away from the insanity of school. It could be a time to spend with friends and family, a time to travel. No matter what people are doing, winter break seems to be a special time. What do Basalt High students do during the winter break? When they were asked, a wide range

Freshman Alex Siebert

of activities were mentioned, from competitive sports to playing video games and everything in between. Based on the graph below, recreation appears to be the primary activity students are going to be doing. Most students seem to be active, with only 10 percent answering our informal survey saying they would stay home. Nobody is sledding over winter break because sledding lost its coolness factor as we reached the age of 5. A few individuals were asked what they would be doing, including Henry Ferguson, an Aspen High School student. Ferguson said that he’ll be in South Africa “because it’s fun and I’m visiting a friend with cancer.”

Freshman Morgan Ash

He said that his friend is 20 and could possibly die in a year if she doesn’t get a lung transplant. A freshman in Basalt, Alex Siebert, is going to visit his father who lives in Texas. Alex’s dad moved to Texas three years ago and Alex has visited him ever since. Siebert likes visiting his dad because “we get to eat a lot and go to foot- ball games.” Alex and his dad may not spend the most time together, but when they do, it seems to be quality. Morgan Ash plans to play basketball, but her season was temporarily interrupted when she got a concussion. Wrestler Thomas Wirth will be rehabbing his injured ankle. It is apparent that no matter where you are and

AHS Freshman Henry Furguson

what you’re doing, you can feel the holiday spirit and spread it, whether it be visiting someone with cancer, visiting your dad, studying, being with friends, helping your team win games or staying home. All these activities feel slightly more special when it’s wintertime.

BHS choirs ring in valley tree lighting events By Will Orben Winter is here and it’s around the time you’ll be seeing beautiful light arrangements strung up on trees and houses. This means it is also time for annual tree-lighting ceremonies in the valley. The Basalt Tree Lighting, which occurred on Friday, Dec. 5, started off with the Basalt High School’s Concert and Chamber choirs singing holiday songs for a small crowd in Lions Park near the Wyly Community Art Center. The arrangement included Con- cert Choir singing “Little Drum- mer Boy” and “I’ll be Home for Christmas.” Then the choirs combined to sing the song “A La Nanita Nana” followed by a performance by Chamber Choir of “Carol of the Bells,” “Sleigh Ride,” “Winter Wonderland” and “The World for Christmas.” In between the two choirs Christian Gomez, a Basalt High student, performed a Christmas themed ballad on his guitar. Members from the choir said that their performance was OK — Chamber Choir member Oriah Clarke said, “I think we did good. Last year we sang under the tree which I liked but singing on the new stage was just as cool.” It was a nice and short performance that had a warm response from the crowd afterward. Before the concert, a fire truck drove up to the tree lighting

carrying Mr. and Mrs. Claus to greet the residents of Basalt and find out what the children wanted for Christmas. The event also featured free hot chocolate and treats provided by local businesses. Others enjoyed rides around the town in a horse-drawn wagon before the tree was finally lit around 5:15 p.m. The Chamber Choir also made an appearance at the Aspen Sardy House on Dec. 7 to sing “Carol of the Bells” and “The World for Christmas.” It was performed on a small stage made from the front steps of the Sardy House. The sound system was hooked up to speakers which could be heard many blocks away, spreading the festive spirit across Aspen. The choir did a good enough job singing that an Aspen band asked the choir to sing along with its instrumentals. Ultimately, this year’s tree lighting and other festive events were an exciting success. See you next year!

SNOW SPORTS ‘Ecstasy, yet calm’ on the mountain

Independence Pass;; Photo by: Maile Wood

To many of us, skiing is merely an ordinary winter activity. But people of the Roaring Fork Valley don’t usually take into consideration just how lucky they are. To be able to live so close to one of the most highly acclaimed ski resorts in the world is something not many others can share, and is an amazing opportunity to participate in an endless winter adventure on the slopes. An abundance of people living in or around Aspen were introduced to skiing at a young age, filling the valley with countless expert skiers and riders who have a passion for hitting the mountain. From park to back-

country, everyone has a place where they belong. Although on the outside these athletes may just seem like they are slid- ing down a mountain, in reality, it’s much more than that. The feeling of gliding down a glittering slope is unlike any other;; ecstasy, yet calm. Time spent on the mountain is time to get away from all troubles and be at complete ease, a feeling of being in complete control. No matter what kind of problems one may have in their lives, a wonder- ful, fun escape in the Roaring Fork Valley is to go for a ride on the slopes. — Andrew Olson
