In the motherland of hippie jam bands in the midst of of contemporary electronic music.

Colorado’s bluegrass nation, there may be a band that rises out of the Grateful Dead mire and says, “We are different!� Eagle’s own The Sessh is this band. Brainchild of longtime local Cristian Basso, The Sessh is an interesting blend of old and new, youth and maturity, classic and innovative. Basso is known for his role in Little Hercules, the Minturn-based quartet that brought New Orleansstyle funk to the Colorado mountains for years. Three or 4 years ago, Basso was introduced to guitarist Trevor Jones. Jones was playing in Eagle with his own band, Frogs Gone Fishin’, and the two were introduced by a mutual acquaintance. A friendship sprung up from their common love for New Orleans and a familiarity with the city’s music scene. Basso appreciated Jones’ stellar guitar skills and, about a year later, called him up to start playing together. Soon after, the two added Roy Burki on the drums, and from those initial musical “sessions,� The Sessh was born. With The Sessh, Basso wanted to take a new approach to his music. Electronic music was becoming more popular and

Basso was curious about the expanding genre. “I wanted to do something a little more cutting-edge,� Basso says. “Something not typical, not traditional.� Funky contradictions Basso turned to a unique tool, MIDI bass, for inspiration while writing for The Sessh. The MIDI bass is used as a MIDI (Music Instrument Digital Interface) to generate numerous low-end sounds and effects, as well as a trigger to make production changes during live performances. The Sessh’s music is an interesting combination, bringing a little of the new to the old and a little of the old to the new, and funk is the foundation on which they build their musical house. Alongside the rock trio of guitar, bass and drum, the MIDI offers a new angle to traditional tunes with the sounds

But do not expect to hear anyone say “whomp� about this interesting style combination – the music is more psychedelic than dubstep. The Sessh works off big, fat beats from drums, with densely layered electronic loops. This is not the “push ‘play’ and walk away� style of electronic music you see all too often today. Basso works with these loops, and they are dynamic and constantly changing. All these musical layers are evenly put together to create danceable tracks with a funky base. This blending of organic and inorganic elements has garnered fans in the mountains, as well as on the Front Range. While the market for electronic music definitely lends itself to the younger crowds of Boulder and Denver, the mountain crowd seems to appreciate it, too. “Mountain folk are better listeners,� guitarist Jones says. “I don’t know if that is just because they appreciate guitar playing more up there or if there just aren’t as many distractions. But we seem to get acknowledgment from both crowds and a large age range.� Recently, The Sessh transitioned from drummer Roy Burki to Denver local Jeff Jani. Both Basso and Jones say that Burki added a unique dynamic to the Sessh, but they are excited for a fresh face. Jani may seem green at 21 years old, but he is a fixture in the local music scene, drumming in bands like Big Motif and Frogs Gone Fishin’, as well as another project with Jones, Ape Tit. Jones says, “I feel very lucky to have Jeff joining us. He is an awesome in-the-pocket drummer, but he is also great at being ahead of the beat. He makes my life very easy [while performing].� Basso agrees: “Jeff is savvy and brings an organic approach to our music. His beats feel very natural and will allow us to move forward.� With Basso’s recording studio – affectionately called the Funk Bunker – based in Eagle, there are literally mountains between Denver-based bandmates Jones and Jani. But don’t expect a few mountains to stop The Sessh. “I’ve done the drive [from Denver to Vail] hundreds of times,� Jones says. “It usually feels like I’m just driving down the street now.� As a follow-up to the group’s first EP in 2011, The Sessh has been working hard to bring the next effort, which Basso says is about half done. Look for a release around Feb 1. SneakPEAK writer Jenna Stecker can be reached at info@sneakpeakvail.com

Take a look at the making of Vail Mountain’s brand-new gondola. By Melanie Wong

A

s of the first day of Vail’s 2012-13 season, skiers and riders will get up the mountain faster than ever – 1.5 minutes faster, to be exact – and in warmer fashion.

Vail’s new gondola, which replaces the Vista Bahn Express (Chair 16) chairlift that ran from Vail Village to MidVail, covers the 1.9-mile route in a record 7.5 minutes, compared to the nine minutes it took via the Vista Bahn. The new gondola is one of several milestones for the mountain this winter. Construction on the gondola will finish in time for the Nov. 16 opening day of Vail’s 50th season, with crews working hard since the end of last ski season to finish the project. Construction started this summer, as the old Vista Bahn chairlift was dismantled. While a few chairs were kept as souvenirs, most of the lift was recycled or kept for spare parts. The route was then prepared for the gondola’s towers, which follow a similar route to the old chairlift. The towers were dropped into the ground by helicopter in early October, and mountain crews set to work connecting the cables and setting up the terminals.

The 111 cabins began going up in November, attached to 19,000 feet of cable. The new cabins have a tall, sleek design, made mostly of glass and silver trim, and can take up to 10 passengers at a time, carrying 10 pairs of skis or eight snowboards on the exterior. In keeping up with Vail’s luxurious image, the cabins also boast leather seats, heating, a speaker system and Wi-Fi access. “The new gondola will be a tremendous addition to the

Vail’s gondola, by the numbers

guest experience in Vail, adding significant improvements in comfort, capacity and ride time for skiers and snowboarders out of Vail Village,” says Chris Jarnot, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Vail Mountain. “I can’t think of a better way to kick off Vail’s 50th anniversary than with a new, state-of-the-art gondola in the same location where the

very first Gondola One was built in 1962.” The gondola might become a bit of a landmark off of the mountain as well – the outside of the cabins will be lined with LED lights, making the gondola visible at night. “You’ll be able to see a string of pearls from I-70 at night,” says Clyde Wiessner, lift maintenance director. Vail’s new route up the mountain will be the first of its kind in North America, rivaling even the most state-of-theart systems found in Europe. Most of the lift was manufactured in the United States at Leitner-Poma of America’s Grand Junction plant, while other portions were made in Europe. The cabins come from French manufacturer Sigma, and the rest of the gondola comes from Leitner-Poma. The gondola has eco-friendly attributes as well: Despite an increased capacity, it will use less power than the chairlift. Terminals are enclosed to keep machinery warm, running smoothly and out of the elements, the mountain’s lift teams say. As opening day approaches, Lift Maintenance Manager Todd Ruoff says Vail staff is busy preparing to run the new gondola. “This will be a huge learning curve for us as well,” he says. “We’ve never had such a high-capacity lift before, so we’ll have as many lift operators on the ground as needed to get it running.” SneakPEAK editor Melanie Wong can be reached at Melanie@sneakpeakvail.com

A ski camp without borders

“Rising Stars” brought young alpine racers from U.S. and Canada By Phil Lindeman

For Nigel Cooper, Vail is the best place for Canada’s rising downhill stars, at least while the peaks in Ontario and British Columbia are still waiting for snow. Cooper, the manager of athlete development for Alpine Canada, recently brought eight of his country’s most promising ski racers to Golden Peak for 10 days of training. From Nov. 1 to Nov. 11, the 14 and 15 year olds took turns on a pristine pre-season course and worked with high-level coaches, all while rubbing elbows with members of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail and the U.S. Ski Team. Yet the chance to catch Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso was just an added perk. The Canadian racers were part of something equally exciting and, in terms of becoming superstars in their own right, far more groundbreaking than a few autographs. While in Vail, they trained side-by-side with seven of the United States Ski and Snowboard Association’s best young skiers. For the first time in history, the two country’s youth development organizations joined forces outside of competition, and Cooper hopes it will produce racers who hold their own against the finest Austrian and Swiss skiers. “We’re very isolated from the European hotbed of the sport, so hopefully this could help us present a more unified front at international competitions,” Cooper says. “Canada and the U.S. have been working with young racers for a long time, but this is an important way to build a stronger alpine base in North America. This initiative is a building block for future projects.” A European approach The joint program, dubbed “Rising Stars,” was the brainchild of Cooper and Thomas Erhard, the team academy head coach for USSA. The two met this summer while training with athletes in Mt. Hood, Ore., and started imagining ways to bring their respective groups together. A preseason camp at Vail – the go-to spot for early training in the

Cooper says the program introduced young athletes to the rigors of racing far from home with international peers. It’s the sort of friendly, non-competitive environment European racers take for granted, and it can be a major advantage when alpine skiers move from developmental racing to the rigorous FIS World Cup circuit. “This is a very important part of the sport,” Cooper says. “We generally only come together while competing, so it’s nice to have everyone get together at a young age and really just learn from each other.” Cooper’s sentiments are echoed by Erhard, a longtime USSA coach who started promoting international training in the mid-1990s. “I’ve always believed in cross-national training,” Erhard says. “We get better technically and mentally by working together and getting out with racers from other countries.” The racers represented a cross-section of the best talent from both countries. The Canadians came from clubs in British Columbia, Quebec, Ontario and Alberta, following in the ski tracks of fellow countrymen like Erin Mielzynski, a member of the pre-Olympic program and the first Canadian to win a World Cup slalom event since 1971. The Americans were equally diverse, hailing from California, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. Ski and Snowboard Club Vail was represented by two racers, Megan McGrew and River Radamus, both of whom are among the top-rated under-16 alpine skiers in the U.S. For McGrew and Radamus – son of SSCV Executive Director Aldo Radamus – taking turns on Golden Peak is Alexandra Lacasse Courshesne, member of the Al- practically an everyday affair. But few of the remaining 13 pine Canada youth development team, takes a run at racers had trained in Vail before, and the unfamiliarity of a Mont Olympia in Quebec last season. Courshesne was new hill was another benefit of the program. “When these athletes get older, we’re always on the road one of 15 U.S. and Canadian racers to attend a joint training camp in Vail last week.

For about developing a rounded athlete in the long term – they the Canadians, it built on a youth-oriented program put in get used to being away from home. Obviously, it’s still very far away from racing on the World Cup level, but this gives place before the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Along with the expected benefits of training on snow,

Vail Mountain’s first treasurer Dick Bohr discusses building a resort from the ground up. Interviewed By Phil Lindeman

I

n the winter of 1963, when Vail’s first visitors were exploring Sun Up Bowl and lapping Riva Ridge, Dick Bohr was in a slopeside office crunching numbers. As the first treasurer for Vail Associates, Bohr had the unglamorous task of taking multiple moving parts – ski school, lift operations, a lodge – and patching them into a profitable whole. The fledgling resort struggled to turn a profit, and the young business school graduate worked 12 hours per day to keep investors excited about founder Pete Seibert’s wildly ambitious (and occasionally unwieldy) vision for Vail. The long, lonesome days were occasionally torturous, but for a born-and-breed ski bum from Ohio, simply being in the Rocky Mountains was a dream. Like Seibert and many of Vail’s early residents, Bohr served in the Army during WWII and returned to the U.S. with his sights on the ski industry. He was hired shortly after Vail opened in 1962, and in nearly four years as treasurer, laid groundwork for the resort’s rapid growth in the 1970s. He left in 1968 to head up a specialty ski shop, The Ski Haus, Inc. (original parent company to the Bridge Street Skihaus), where he was CEO until retiring in 2006.

At 91 years old, Bohr rarely skis anymore – an injury has sidelined him for the past two years – and lives in Ohio with his wife. Vail still draws him back, though, and he regularly visits in summertime. SneakPEAK recently caught up with Bohr to talk about Vail’s early inner workings, its occasionally shaky finances and the blessing/curse of a slopeside office. Sneak Peak: How did you become involved with Vail? Was it just by luck or did you know people here? Dick Bohr: Anything to do with skiing was intriguing to me. I think a friend of mine in Denver said they were looking for someone to help at Vail, so I went for the interview in February of ‘63, and the first thing Pete (Seibert) and (ski school BLAH) Morrie Shepherd did was take me on the mountain and pull me through the trees on the back side. I wasn’t a great powder skier at that point, but apparently I didn’t crash so much that they didn’t want me. When I finally made it out in March, there really wasn’t much there. The Lodge at Vail was built and the Vail Village Inn was built. Our offices were in the first floor of The Lodge – Pete and (marketing director) Bob Parker and myself shared a room with my accountant and Pete’s assistant. The entire corporation was taking up four or five rooms in the 67-room hotel. It was really a very small operation, and there weren’t a lot of people around helping out, but it was pretty damned exciting. SP: From a financial side, what kind of work went into building a ski resort from scratch? DB: Scratch would have been when they formed the first

board, and that was before I came, in early ‘62. They were really concerned about financing at that point. They had to scrape a lot of investors together and ultimately went with a limited partnership, which was one of the few in the country and a new form of organization at the time. It was really a big help – you had people putting in these manageable amounts of money and being able to get things moving very quickly. SP: Was it a rush to see a ski area take shape from practically nothing? DB: It was exciting – there’s no other word. When you talked to a lot of the people involved, it was always looking to the future, asking, “When is this going to happen,” and “How can we do this?” One man, Bob Lazier, wanted to build a little lodge, which he did. It was just a tiny two-story building, not very big, but he worked his tail off to make it happen. After a while, another opportunity for a lodge came up (Tivoli Lodge), and he just aimed higher. It has been very interesting and rewarding to see people make it so far. SP: Working behind the scenes at Vail didn’t leave much time to enjoy the rowdy, “Wild West” town many early residents describe. How often were you able to get out of the office? DB: Not much (laughs). I can tell you now, I got to work at 8 a.m. and was there until 9 p.m. It was just pushing to get everything done that needed to get done. It was a mixed blessing – I got out for a run or two every couple of days, but I really had to keep from going straight to the hill. My job required me to be indoors all the time, and we were really

Vail rocks for New Jersey relief

Benefit at Shakedown Bar features mountain musicians By Larry Grossman

You live in a pretty special country. The United States of America is a very special blend of diverse people from many different backgrounds and countries. We battle passionately when it comes to our political beliefs or when our hometown sports teams line it up against deeply disliked rivals. Then disaster strikes our country in one form or another. It can be raging fires right here in our wonderful state of Colorado, massive destruction from tornadoes in Alabama or devastating earthquake damage in California. Even the unthinkable can happen. Who in their right mind would ever imagine a monster hurricane hitting a 1,000-mile stretch of the northern East Coast, centered on New Jersey and New York City in November? Who would also imagine that at the same time, the storm would bring record snowfall to the mountains of West Virginia and the surrounding area? When Mother Nature rears her ugly head in this country, all our differences vanish and we become one – we are all on the same team and very good things begin to happen. Events pop up locally all over the country for many reasons. They’re organized quickly and designed with one goal in mind: to help people who need it. Hurricane Sandy threw a mighty blow far way from Vail, but Vail is stepping up this Thursday to make a difference and contribute to the recovery. Vail Rocks for Jersey is taking place on Nov., with music from 6 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Shakedown Bar in Vail Village, located off Bridge Street near the bottom of the new gondola.

derstanding of what it means to receive outside help, as we are just a few months removed from devastating wildfire. This summer, Colorado welcomed with open arms all relief efforts. The benefit concert at Shakedown Bar is a chance to have some fun and give back to others. With roughly 20 artists slated to perform for eight hours at Shakedown Bar, the show will be the perfect opportunity to support those affected by Hurricane Sandy and catch up with friends as we all prepare to kick off another ski season in the Vail Valley. A hurricane relief concert Scott Rednor, co-owner of Shakedown Bar, is stepping up to help victims in his home state with a hurricane relief concert. Like myself, he’s a New Jersey native and, of course, a music lover. Rednor moved here 3.5 years ago after being offered a job at the Red Lion from Phil Long. He soon had the opportunity to open his own club, which he turned into a “classy, warm and sexy little rock ‘n’ roll venue,� where Rednor drives the music scene with some of his favorite local bands and a number of out-of-town acts. Rednor told me, “Scott Stoughton was scheduled to play for our Nov. 15 opening night show with Bonfire Dub. He (Stoughton, who is also from New Jersey) called me and asked if we could turn this into a benefit.� It was an easy choice for all involved and the benefit show was confirmed. Around seven groups and a dozen guest musicians will play during the course of the evening. Tickets for the show are $20, and the price includes a free beer ticket, light snacks and a raffle tickets. All proceeds go to East Coast relief efforts. Not only do attendees support a stellar cause, raffle prizes are top-notch. They include season music passes to Agave and State Bridge, passes to the Vail Ale House and Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver creek, tours from Stand Up Paddle Colorado, and a chef’s table at Larkspur for six with included wine pairings.

Prep for snow and cold with simple, budget-friendly this from local experts. By Phil Lindeman

A

t Buzz’s Boards in Vail Village, early November is one of the busiest times of the season. The weeks leading up to opening day are hectic, with ski shop manager Neil Conroy’s team of technicians tuning nearly 40 boards and pairs of skis per day.

If the bustle at Buzz’s Boards didn’t signal the beginning of ski season, last weekend’s snowfall and brutally cold temperatures truly erased any thoughts of a mild end to autumn. Whether or not the tuning crew (or anyone else) is ready, winter is here. Along with prepping ski gear, the transition to several months of snow and cold is much less painless with a little forethought. From protecting your car to caring for pets, winterizing is relatively simple, and the majority of work can be done in an afternoon for little cost. Speaking of money, pre-season prep work can also cut expenses in the long-term. Look at tuning: Conroy says he rarely charges more than $80 for extensive base or edge repairs – an admittedly small price to pay in comparison to a totally new deck. Beyond the slopes, at-home changes like programmable thermostats, compact fluorescent lighting

Cats and dogs When it comes to caring for pets in winter, common sense is invaluable. Stephen Sheldon, owner of Gypsum Animal Hospital, says dogs and cats are naturally well-suited for changing seasons – within reason, of course. Certain breeds handle mountain weather better than others. and more can save roughly $400 per year. Valley pet owners tend to take good care of their animals, To help you get ready for things to come, experts across the valley weighed in on common – and occasionally over- but Sheldon has a few ground rules. He says to never let looked – ways to make the season a bit more comfortable on dogs sleep in a garage or dog house, and outside cats should have a way to easily get indoors where it’s warm.

What you’ll need: • Iron with solid base ($25 at Walmart) • Hot wax (all-temperature for $12 at ski shops) • Plastic scraper (ask the shop tech) • Buff cloth What to do: • In a well-ventilated area (garage or outside), place skis or board on stable surface with base facing up. Quickly wipe down to remove grime. • Heat iron according to wax directions. Waxes made for different snow types need certain temperatures. • With iron tip facing down, melt wax and drip on base. If wax begins to smoke, turn heat down. Cover entire base with small drops. • Spread wax evenly from tip to tail. Let cool for 10 minutes. • Once wax cools, scrape base thoroughly with scraper, moving in small sections. Be sure to remove as much wax as possible – anything left on the base will slow you down. • Buff base thoroughly.

Winter gear November is high time for discounted tuning deals at local shops – Buzz’s offers a basic package for $30 until Thanksgiving – but Conroy says riders on a budget can take care of most pre-season work at home. If you were ahead of the game and left a coat of storage wax on your base last April, getting ready for the first turns of the season is as simple as scraping the base clean. Conroy also recommends buying a small diamond stone (no more than $10 online) to remove small burrs from your edges. Without a storage coat, be sure your first wax of the season is a hot wax. Unlike a rub-on treatment, the heat opens up the pores in your base and lets the wax get deep inside. It’s better for protecting against early-season cold and snow, when most everything you ride is man-made and hard-packed. (See sidebar for tips on waxing at home.) Last spring was especially rough on boards and skis. If you have the money, take your gear to a shop for “structuring,” a special process to shape edges for the drier, colder snow of mid-season riding.

Showers Pass jacket and SixSixOne gloves Tackle cold-weather cycling and cyclocross season with essential gear By Jake Wells Whether during training or on the race day, at some point during a typical cyclocross season, riders experience all of the elements. This includes everything from wind and dry, dusty heat to rain, snow and sub-freezing temperatures. When it comes to the proper gear for training and racing, not only does your chosen gear have to stand up to the elements, it also has to be able to perform in extreme conditions – often in short periods of time. I have been putting a few new items through the paces this season, and I wanted to share my thoughts on a couple of articles I really like. The Elite 2.0 Jacket from Showers Pass The first thing I noticed about the Elite 2.0 Jacket was the durable construction and a slew of well-thought-out features. One thing is for sure – this is not an emergency poncho. This is a true rain jacket made for those days when you know you are going to get wet. (Not surprising from a company based in Portland, Ore.). Showers Pass uses the specialized eVent three-layer waterproof material for the outer, with construction rounded out by fully taped seams and water resistant zippers. The 11inch pit zips, when combined with the large back vent, make for good flow-through ventilation. This helps keep your core body temperature regulated as your workout becomes more strenuous. From a comfort and accessory angle, the micro-chamois lined collar and the chest pocket with an ear-bud port are features that take this jacket to the next level. It has kept me warm and dry while warming up during a downpour at a cyclocross race in Providence, RI, and the “BeaverTail” construction helps keep your backside dry while training through late-fall slush on the roads here in Colorado. The fit is true-to-size, but if you are planning on layering underneath, you may want to size up. The only negative here is the price tag. MSRP $240

riding in the cold and wet for an extended amount of time, the extremities are the first to get punished. When you lose feeling in your hands while on a bike, the ability to comfortably (and quickly) shift gears, modulate the brakes and even steer goes away as well. The tricky part about cold-weather cycling gloves is that they have to be able to keep your hands warm and dry without being so bulky that dexterity and feel is sacrificed. I have tried all different types of gloves for training and racing in the elements, everything from lightweight knit gloves to skate skiing gloves to full on neoprene waterproof mitts. No matter what, I wanted to find a happy medium. SixSixOne is a company from Southern California that specializes in gear for bike and motocross lovers. The Storm Glove is one item in their line that has always stood out to me. What do a bunch of gravity junkies from SoCal know about cold weather riding? Apparently, they know enough, because they nailed it with this glove. The water-resistant breathable back of the glove does well to cut the wind and The Showers Pass Elite 2.0 Jacket (above) and Six- keep the hands dry. The neoprene-wrapped knuckles offer SixOne The Storm Glove make ideal companions for increased insulation and weather resistance without sacrificwet, slushy cycling this winter, particularly during cy- ing dexterity. The palm, made of high-quality Pittard leather, cuts down on bulkiness and allows for a water resistant yet clocross races. Photos special to SneakPEAK. tacky grip on wet shifter hoods or bar tape, all while maintaining the ability to pilot the bike. There is even a strategically placed terry-cloth patch for cold and delicate noses. The Storm Gloves have kept my hands in good working order for multiple hours in 30-degree temperatures. However, I do wish they had substituted the Velcro wrist closure with a form-fitting neoprene cuff (Velcro and Lycra don’t play nice together). MSRP $50 When it comes to cycling clothing and gear, there have been some great advances over the last couple of years. The good news is that now it is easier than ever to keep the tires rolling, no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. The bad news: All those tired excuses for not riding in the cold and wet aren’t valid anymore.

The Storm Glove from SixSixOne Admittedly, I have a bit of an obsession with gloves. When

Huskies Soccer goes

20-0 in style

A perfect season hands the Battle Mountain men their first-ever state championship. By John O’neill Erick Briones, one of the captains of the Battle Mountain Soccer team, helped the team to its first-ever state championship last weekend. Zach Mahone photo.

Battle Mountain High School Huskies midfielder David Suarez and his teammates stood on the sidelines of Dick’s Sporting Goods Park as their teammate, Heivan Garcia, walked alone to take his shot in the shootout that would decide the Colorado 4A men’s soccer state champions. The weather was cold and snow had hampered play in regular time and overtime. The score was 0-0 against the top-ranked Lewis Palmer team. The Huskies, ranked sixth in the state, already had an edge in the shootout after a Lewis Palmer player shot wide right. All BMHS needed was one more goal and the game would be over, the title clenched. Garcia buried it. The ball touched the back of the net and the Huskies had done what no other BMHS soccer team has done in the program’s history, for men or women: the shot earned them a 20-0 perfect season, a state championship and a snow-covered valley on its feet. “It was intense,” Suarez says. “It was the final shot. Final shot of the game and the season. Once we saw the ball go in, everyone got stoked. It was like we had finally done it. It was finally over and we were the state champions.” The team rushed the field to congratulate Garcia and the Huskies keeper, Christian Espinoza, who had been clutch in overtime shootouts throughout the postseason. The crowd, dressed in black and gold, had already been standing since overtime began. After the goal, the fans latched onto their team’s excitement and leapt into the air. At home, others watching a live stream of the game or receiving updates from friends flooded Facebook and Twitter. “We’ve never made it past quarterfinals,” Suarez said. “We didn’t just make it to the semifinal or into the final – we went all the way. That’s what makes it great.”

said in August, before the team had even begun officially practicing. At the halfway mark of the season, the team was rolling their way through an undefeated season, one bolstered by a 6-0 victory over rival Steamboat. It was a huge confidence booster and a sign of things to come. “The season is going pretty good. We are undefeated and playing so well together,” said senior center back Erick Briones after the Steamboat game. “This is definitely one of the best teams that I have played with. In every game, this team won’t back down from anything.” Briones said then that his goal was to make it past the quarterfinal and to play in the final four. That dream was realized when the Huskies ousted Evergreen in the quarterfinal in early November – and in a gut-wrenching shootout, for what it’s worth. Halfway through the season, Head Coach David Cope brought the boys in to tell them what was left to do. “I sat them down after a game and said, ‘Everything you’ve done so far, other groups have also done. You aren’t unique yet,’” said Cope, the men’s soccer coach of 20 years. “We are undefeated so far. That’s great. But we aren’t unique. Running the table in regular season would be unique. Making the semifinals or finals in the playoffs would be unique.” Consider this year’s BMHS team unique. Consider their potential realized. As champions When the game was over, the trophy passed around and the Huskies went back on the bus. After the team left the field, Briones said he and his teammates were finally beginning to feel the full weight of what a state championship meant. All summer – and for the seniors, the past four years – they had been practicing to reach the game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, knowing they were championship quality but not knowing what the future would hold. Beginning to end “We all worked together to achieve the history that Cope was talking about,” Briones The team knew going into this season that the player’s individual potential could see said. “All season he kept talking about the history of the school and soccer and how they’ve them finish the season on top. The group was heavy with seniors who had been to the state always only gone to the quarterfinals. This year, we just defeated everyone. We wanted to go tournament in the past. for it all. We stuck together and played our game. We went to the finals won.” Even before the season had begun, the team had been preparing for a season to brag about come November. “We have been practicing every Monday and Wednesday as a group with organized games SneakPEAK writer John O’Neill can be reached at info@sneakpeakvail.com against other (local) teams and doing our own training on the other days,” senior Will Nolan

WINTERIZE YOUR LIFE ––––––

[From page 8]

a backyard, keep an eye on the temperature; when it gets below freezing, dogs should spend no more than an hour outside if they’re not playing or working hard. When hiking, Sheldon suggests covering for your dog’s paws with booties (found at most pet stores or online for around $70) to keep snow from freezing between the pads, especially for long-haired breeds. You can also use Bag Balm ($7 at grocery stores), an animal-only ointment to spread inside the pads. On the serious side, Sheldon says one of the biggest dangers to pets in winter is antifreeze leaks. The fluid has a sweet chemical that attracts pets, and every year, vets in the valley deals with dozens of sick animals. If you don’t catch the problem within a few hours, Sheldon says it can lead to fatal kidney failure. Automobiles Antifreeze may be dangerous to pets, but it’s one of the easiest ways to protect your car from harsh Rocky Mountain winters. Be sure to use a fluid that’s rated to negative-40 degrees, and top it off early and often. J.D. Werkmeister, owner of Werks Automotive in Gypsum, offers a basic winterization special for $10, but says handy car owners can check many issues at home. Along with antifreeze, he also suggests checking wiper blades for cracks or tears and tire tread for depth, especially if you use all-weather tires. When it comes to mountain travel, Werkmeister says snow tires aren’t required, but for people who travel constantly – say, from over Vail Pass or on back roads – they don’t hurt. “There’s really no harm in being the safest possible, and without all-wheel drive, I definitely recommend snow tires,� Werkmeister says. Cost can be a concern, though: He claims modern snow tires run $100 to $200 apiece, even for smaller cars. If you drop your car by a shop, be sure the mechanic also checks brakes, belts, tire pressure, battery life and all fluid levels. An oil change is also a good idea, particularly if you’re close to the 3,000 miles since you’re last change. Houses and apartments Winterizing can be an extremely expensive process for homeowners – upgrades like new windows and energy-efficient heating require major overhauls – but a few simple adjustments make a huge difference. Weather-stripping is a common practice, and when gaskets are replaced on all windows and doors, the U.S. Department of Energy notes it is one of the most cost-effective ways to save energy. Vinyl weather-stripping material is the best, both for value and longevity. To save money on material, measure all areas you plan to cover (windows, doors, attic hatches) and add another 10 percent for waste. For more tips on exact application, visit www.energy. gov. Eagle County also has a federally funded Energy Smart program just for mountain residents, and homeowners can register for an Energy Smart Assessment to find weak points.

Ladies: Ready, set , wrestle Brush Creek Saloon bring women’s arm wresting back By John O’Neill Rosie the Riveter just might have a chance at this one: The Brush Creek Saloon in Eagle brings back its women’s arm wrestling competition for the second time ever on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 9:30 p.m. The competition features a women’sonly arm wrestle and promises a rowdy time for spectators. Thursday will be the second time the bar has hosted the event. The first, held this past summer, proved a success, with a crowd of more than 100 spectators gathered to watch about 30 ladies participate. “It will get really busy – everyone is going to have a lot of fun,� Brush Creek Saloon owner Vit Blamar says. “Last time we did this, we had no idea how big it was going to be. This time we’ll be ready for a big crowd and a really fun event.� Blamar recalls from the last event that people were standing on the bar stools and yelling. He says at one point the police even poked their head in the door to see what all the commotion was about. According to Blamar, you could hear the cheers from Eagle Town Park a few blocks away. For the ladies, handsome prizes are given to the best arm wrestlers. Blamar says he will hand out up to $200 in Brush Creek money to be spent at the bar, some other gift certificates and, possibly, a Jagermeister machine. Blamar also says, though, that the audience could be getting the best treat, as just watching the competition should be a great deal of fun. “The girls will arm wrestle on the stage and it will get really competitive,� Blamar says. “The audience really got Two competitors prepare to arm wrestle at Brush Creek Saloon’s first women-only arm wrestling tourinto it during the summer.� Blamar pulled out all the stops to make sure the event is a nament last summer.

RISING STARS –––––––––––––––––––––

them all the tools they need to be rounded athletes.� Well-rounded racers The joint Rising Stars program took a similar approach to the Canadian’s pre-Olympic initiative from 2010, mixing on-mountain training with daily class work. During their 10 days in Vail, the athletes studied early in the morning, took a race break for nearly three hours, and returned to studying after they left the hill. The combination of scholastic and athletic training also resembles closely the curriculum at Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy, the first public winter sports school in the U.S. The academy is closely linked to SSCV, and athletes spend equal time learning on the course and in the classroom. While in Vail, Cooper says SSCV was very welcoming to the joint camp. The club pays for the majority of snowmaking to open Golden Peak early, and local coaches made sure the guest racers got plenty of turns in each day. “SSCV did a lot to make sure we had everything we needed,� Cooper says. “We needed Vail for the pre-season training environment. There’s no better place in the world for November training.�

970.331.4632

[From page 5]

For many of the Rising Stars racers, including SSCV’s McGrew and Radamus, the camp was just the first international learning experience of a jam-packed season. Cooper says it’s a warm-up to the program’s next stage, the CanAm race series, which features races in Panorama, British Columbia and Sugarloaf, Maine. For USSA, Edhard and a handful of top racers will travel to Austria and Switzerland in January and February to train with European racers. The brand-new opportunity isn’t related to Rising Stars, but Erhard sees it as another step forward for young U.S. skiers with hopes of racing on a professional, high-profile level. “The thing we’re all trying to do is prep North American racers to go compete on an international stage,� Erhard says. “It gets them ready for that long-term competition, and these athletes will have what it takes.�

trying our hardest to manage the cash flow, even when it was small. My main contribution was getting a picture of how this mountain would work as an overall thing, a resort. A lot of people didn’t have experience with that, so I had to do a lot of explanation and teaching. SP: Based on your experience with Vail’s founders – Seibert, Parker, Earl Eaton – describe the mountain’s early leadership dynamic. DB: Pete was always the general manager, but he spent most of his time focusing on what was happening outdoors. He was a very imaginative guy, but the details were not something he was driven to. Bob Parker took the marketing side of things and had a bit more eye for the bigger picture. I was also on the board with them all, and I got to hear the original investors describe how they wanted to see things go. They were involved in the raw start of the business, and it was interesting to see how the growing business didn’t quite match what they imagined for the town as a whole. One person wanted to golf course to begin very close to Bridge Street, but you could tell that wasn’t a good place for a course. I really wanted to push for bringing in a land planner and developer, someone local who knew what they could do with the space. We also had problems with Bridge Street. There were lots of people living there and it was the main artery to the mountain, and we had to use it for food and merchandise and everything else. We had to figure those problems out as we went. SP: As treasurer, were there moments you thought the mountain wouldn’t survive? DB: It was losing a lot of money at first. The first project was to develop an accounting system that could take care of everything that was happening on the mountain. In the beginning, the traffic on the mountain was very light – there were days when you’d have 15 or 20 people there, tops. They tried everything, like making signs to attract people from the highway. The population was all hard workers and people who worked at the ski area. SP: Who were a few of the more colorful characters you met while at Vail? DB: Rod Slifer was very interesting to me. He came to teach skiing and was on the ski school for a while, then he moved into real estate for Vail. He was always a very pleasant guy, and it’s very nice to see how he stuck around and became a fixture in the town, even becoming mayor. Pepi Gramshammer was also a great guy. When he first came to Vail, he didn’t have a place to stay, so he slept in a room in the condo I ended up buying. He was very headstrong about having his own place, though, so he built the hotel. SP: How about activities? What stands out as the most memorable or outlandish? DB: Frankly, again, I was so involved with what I was doing that I didn’t have time to join in on these things that seemed like so much fun, like the parade down Bridge Street. I’m really not the best authority on that question – I guess I would observe other people having fun, but I never really had the time. Actually, the most fun was the vibrancy of this town and seeing how things moved forward. It was satisfying as things grew. SP: Even though your time at Vail was relatively short, what brings you back over the years? DB: I suppose that I’m able to recapture some of the magic that was around when I first got here. If I had to do it over again, I would stay there longer. It’s more exciting to be directly on the mountain than in the ski retail business. But without a doubt, I would do it again, no matter how long I got to spend. SP: Vail has grown immensely in 50 years, not just as a mountain, but as a ski industry giant. Are you surprised by the direction the company has taken? DB: Strangely enough, what really disappoints me is how much the valley has been built up. When we were first out there, it was very rural and enticing. You could fish in Gore Creek and actually catch something. The company itself has also become so much bigger. I guess I’m a little old-fashioned, but thanks to the specialty shop, I really enjoy working one-on-one with people. When these companies get so big, they can lose touch with their customers on a personal level. I guess it’s just part of how things go – they lose their personality as they get larger. But one thing Vail has always had to its advantage is the people. The mountain brings together people who love to be skiing, and that will always be true.

SneakSPORTS: State of the sporting world A look at the early winter tug-of-war between everything available Editor’s Note: Minturnbased sports fan Patrick Whitehurst writes for www. fanrag.com. Read his musings on the site or in SneakPEAK. It’s easy for sports fans to get lost in the drama that accompanies the college and professional football landscape this time of year. Patrick Whitehurst The BCS picture is becoming increasingly clearer (or cloudier, depending on your stance), clear front-runners have positioned themselves in the race for the Heisman Trophy, and programs have become not only bowl-eligible but earned spots in conference championship games. The beast that is the NFL dominates media coverage and discussions around the water cooler. Typical coverage this time of year centers around several noteworthy stories: the members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins celebrate being the

lone undefeated, untied Super Bowl champion by popping some bubbly; teams are positioning themselves for playoff runs or home-field advantage; and Peyton Manning is atop the list of potential MVP candidates. It’s true – the more things change, the more they stay the same. If you blinked in the last two weeks, you may have missed the fact that basketball has also begun. You remember the NBA, don’t you? A professional sports league that (like the NHL currently) locked its players out last year before the players’ union and owners ultimately struck a deal and returned the game in a conveniently media-wrapped Christmas Day quadruple-header to the fans. In fact, while speaking to several people about the sports world recently and responding to letters to the editor at Fanrag.com, many of them were surprised that the NBA season was already underway. I fielded such questions as: “Didn’t the season just end?” “Why do they play before Christmas?” “Are you interested in the outcomes today?” “Which players got in legal trouble off the court?” “Who is going to win the title?” And my personal favorite, “How can the NBA (the biggest collection of prima donnas and overpaid egomaniacs

around, who are more interested in their own stats or securing sponsors than winning games) strike a labor deal that is beneficial to all sides when the NHL can’t even get their opposing sides to meet?” On most occasions, my attempts to respond are articulated with statistics and fan perspectives, but these inquiries solicited only succinct replies (respectively): “Yes, in the middle of June.” “Money.” “Not really – teams don’t even play all-out until February and March.” “Lots.” “The Miami LeBrons.” And – “The NHL can’t seem to help but shoot themselves in the foot. I miss hockey too.” Like baseball, basketball is a sport of attrition. Good teams put themselves in a position to play in the postseason by playing their best ball when it matters most. Every team has their share of wins and losses, but strong practice habits and game preparation coupled with an ability to handle adversity ultimately separates good teams from championship ones.

In the end, no team in the Eastern Conference can beat the Miami doubtedly change several times throughout the course of the season, it’s important to note Heat and LeBron James in a seven game series. The Oklahoma City Thunder, L.A. Lakers that the Hoosiers play in the Big Ten, a conference that produces battle-tested teams loaded and Memphis Grizzlies will battle in the Western Conference for the right to lose to the Heat with talent (four teams debuted in the AP Top 15). High expectations have also been placed in a quick June series. By the time Miami wins their second consecutive NBA championon such perennial powerhouses as the Louisville Cardinals, Kansas Jayhawks and Kentucky ship, we’ll be talking about baseball again. Wildcats, all of which should all be high seeds when March Madness begins. The fact is that here in the Rocky Mountains, most people are more interested in a season March is only about 35 games away for most teams, and while no one has a true idea that has gotten underway in Summit County but begins in earnest this Thursday with the of how the seeding will play out in the NCAA Tournament, I will give it a shot today.
