MIX TAPE 1980

the season

The Motet drummer Dave Watts gets nostalgic before his band’s first-ever 1980 showcase. Interviewed by Phil Lindeman.

he Motet has a hefty case of nostalgia, and thankfully, it’s of the funkiest kind.

Since the late ‘90s, the Denver-based funk/jazz/dance band has brought the spirit of ‘70s and ’80s powerhouses like Prince, Talking Heads, and Sly and the Family Stone to venues across the country. Sure, the average age of audience members at any given show is less than 30 years old, but the dance-ready rhythms and rousing horn lines of classic funk tunes resonate with modern-day dub fans. For Vail-area crowds, The Motet boasts an enticing trait: Each arrangement of classics like “Purple Rain” and “Once in a Lifetime” comes with an extended improv section, giving the seven-person group a chance to spread their collective wings and awe fans with jam-band abandon. This comingling of grimy funk and musical meandering was a hit with State Bridge crowds this summer, particularly when The Motet mixed eclectic covers with wild, inventive originals steeped in the sounds of countless influences. Since hitting the national music scene, the ever-changing group has played concept shows based on nearly 13 artists – the same funkified acts that band members like drummer Dave Watts have loved since they were young. And yet, The Motet has never honed in on a single year in pop-music history – until this Halloween. Shortly before coming to the Vilar Center on Wednesday, the band will debut “Mixtape 1980”: a tribute show based solely on music released that year. The year brought a commingling of funk grooves and early electro rhythms, and for Watts, it makes sense to mash up Devo and Bob Marley in equal measure. Near the beginning of a weekend trip to the Midwest – the final round of shows before debuting “Mixtape 1980” – Watts spoke with SneakPEAK about his band’s origins, the year 1980 and the spark funk music needs to thrive, even in 2013. SneakPEAK: You’re bringing a ‘80s revival show to the Vilar Center. First things first: Why the ‘80s? Dave Watts: It’s actually more specifically the year 1980. For us, we like the idea of honing in on a certain year and finding what’s popular, along with a few of the hidden gems people may have forgotten.

Who: Denver-based funk/jazz/dance band The Motet, performing the iconic music of 1980 When: Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Where: Vilar Center, Beaver Creek Cost: $25 pre-sale, $30 at the doors To buy tickets, see www.vilarpac.org.

DW: Yeah, it was interesting to see how some groups were still entrenched in that ‘70s funk – the dirty, almost organic sound – while other groups were starting to embrace that early electro sound. The show should hopefully give a good idea of how eclectic it was to turn on a radio in 1980 and hear so many different things at once. SP: Aside from these concept shows, what sets The Motet apart from other funk/jazz/dance groups? DW: I think it’s our arrangements. We tend to put a lot of energy into creating dynamic arrangements for our material, so for us, that means extended improvisational sections. That to me is a lot more interesting than just being a dance party. It’s a good balance of improv, groove and extended arrangements, and that really makes us different. SP: The Motet wasn’t around during the period you’ll cover at Vilar, but you’re coming up on nearly 20 years as a band. How did the group come together? DW: It started with me just calling musicians I liked playing with. The lineup has changed a lot over the years, but the group we have now is definitely the best so far. We’re all in it to win it, and we’ve had a nice combination of shows in Colorado and shows in other markets. SP: Let’s get away from the covers for a second. You’re getting ready to release your seventh album of originals – how would you describe it? DW: Our original music has changed a lot over the years. One of the cool things about that album is it’s a total group effort. We have music that was written 100 percent by everyone in the band, and that’s the first time we’ve collaborated that closely.

Oral history project: Aldo Radamus Tracing the growth of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail through the eyes of its longstanding executive director. Interviewed by Phil Lindeman. Cover and photo by Anthony Thornton.

Aldo Radamus is a good sport.

On an unseasonably chilly October afternoon, the executive director of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail let me drag him through the remains of a sloppy autumn snowstorm, all in the name of a few photos. Draped over his shoulder was a pair of well-worn orange ski boots – not his, he assured me – and although we drew curious looks from bundled tourists, he carried them with the comfortable assuredness of a lifelong skier. The plan was to capture the bottled excitement of late October in the Colorado Rockies, when skiers begin scraping off storage wax and every Front Range news station descends on Arapahoe Basin. Vail’s opening day was still more than a month away, yet from the base of Gondola One in Vail Village, puffs of white from snowmaking guns at nearby Golden Peak hinted at training and racing to come. The gondy cabins were nowhere to be found, so Radamus went along with the photographer’s absurd/funny concept: How does SSCV’s foremost figure spend the final few weeks before a promising Olympic season? With no fuss, the 56-yearold sat at a cast-iron table in jeans, a sweater and leather boots, obviously waiting for something – anything – as he read a book. Like the boots, it also wasn’t his. If only pre-season life were that simple. Yet there’s a tiny sliver of truth to the understated scene: Like hundreds of Vail locals and transplants, Radamus was born to be on the snow. After three decades of coaching, he looks forward to each new season with near-giddy anticipation, even if it’s tempered by Zen-like calmness. Radamus was weaned on the icy molehills of his native Minnesota, where he scraped across Midwest crud on offbrand skis bought at a neighborhood hardware store. After attracting attention as a giant slalom racer – he talks little about skiing professionally – he landed his first coaching gig in 1979 at Wilmont Mountain, a 220-vertical-foot hill outside of Chicago. A year later, Radamus came to Vail for the Coors Colorado Pro Ski Tour, yet landed his first position with the ski club instead. His career quickly took off, and he

left in 1984 to join the U.S. Ski Team as head coach for the women’s giant slalom squad. Since then, Radamus has bounced across the nation, earning accolades and new titles in equal measure. In 2002, he finally settled in Vail with his wife and son, stepping into the executive director role as snowboarding and freeskiing caused a seismic shift in the professional snow sports world. Over the past 11 seasons, Radamus has molded SSCV into one of the world’s foremost ski clubs. A corps of more than 100 coaches trains roughly 600 athletes, with alumni ranging from Olympic champ Lindsey Vonn to Olympic hopefuls like EagleVail native Mikaela Shiffrin and Japanese phenom Ayumu Hirano. Through it all, Radamus has maintained the disarming calm and kindness so common to high-level coaches. As the Sochi Olympics draw near, SneakPEAK sat down with Radamus – away from the slushy snow – to talk about his past, his present and how SSCV is tied to both.

were just starting to come around – it was on the fringe, a place where disenchanted alpine racers went to still compete after they were sick of alpine. The club was also significantly smaller. Just after I left in ‘84, the second floor had just been put on the (Golden Peak) clubhouse. We only had about 15 coaches then, including me, and there were just over 100 kids in the club. Now, we nearly have that many coaches. What’s stayed the same is that we still have the same training venue at Golden Peak, and we essentially have the same clubhouse, aside from that second story. We’ve also grown six-fold in terms of the number of athletes. When I returned in 2002, there was an on-again, off-again snowboard team – it was off at the time – and the mogul team was underSneakPEAK: Let’s start with the first time you laid eyes resourced.

Keeping creativity

alive

The Vilar Center’s STARS series gives local students an intimate look at live theater. By Michael Suleiman.

an creativity be taught? When we grow up do we leave our child-like imagination behind? When was the last time you built a fort with a work partner? How about performed a puppet show? Creativity and imagination are lifelong traits. The Vilar Performing Arts Center (VPAC) has been fostering these traits in young Eagle County students for the past 16 years with a program called Support The Arts Reaching Students (STARS). In the next few months more than 6,000 Eagle county students are slated to attend a wide array of performances. The cost to the students: free. The program holds the majority of the performances in the fall with additional performances in the spring. In 1998 the Vail Valley Foundation (VVF), a parent company of VPAC, took the initiative to collaborate with schools and create a program specifically for the artistic learning of Eagle County children. “The purpose of STARS is to provide artistic and cultural enrichment to students that is also educational. At the very core of it we introduce young people to live performing arts. Hopefully along with that we are inspiring future artists,” says Vilar’s Administrative Coordinator Kim Hannold. “All of the schools in Eagle County are invited to come and sometimes we open it up to Leadville, Summit County, and Glenwood Springs, but primarily it’s for the local students. That includes all public and private schools in the Valley as well as homeschooled children.” Production troupes from across the country and even overseas come to Vail to entertain and teach the children. In total this season there are eight performances that run twice a day. So far this season, there have been three. Tomás and the Library Lady was a recent performance for kids grades 2 to 4, and was presented half in Spanish. “Not all the performances are simply plays, there is actually a wide array of genres. We will do anything from a dramatic play to a musical comedy. Many of our performances are musical. We also do opera performances, puppet shows, classical music, poetry readings and dance performances,” Hannold says. This season, a group from Scotland called Visible Fictions will put on a performance on Oct. 28 that is sure to entertain and wow anyone in attendance. “The Visible Fictions will be performing a show called ‘Jason and the Argonauts’. The set of Visible Fictions morphs before your eyes so I’m really excited for that one. This performance will be for fourth through eighth graders,” Hannold says. Each week the performances are at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and depending on the show, different grades are invited to come watch. Free transportation is provided to the students by the Eagle County School District and the VVF. Each performance is meant to teach specific and valuable lessons. Last Friday the Omaha Theater Company performed “A Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly.” The production was geared towards the youngest grade range: pre-k through second grade. It taught the importance of relationships and friendships. It also taught the kids the importance of writing things down. In the performance, each character kept a diary,” Hannold says. The other learning tool provided by VVF is a performance workbook with activities for the students with pre and post-production activities for the classroom. If organizing transportation, performances and the best time to have shows

Katie Anderson photo. wasn’t enough, VPAC also holds workshops for the students. The STARS Series workshops are often in-house at VPAC, but occasionally they bring the show to the kids. “With High Schools, we try to cater to their schedules, which can be challenging with how busy they are. The high school students are certainly invited to come to some of the older performances, but it’s often difficult for them to take a full-day field trip. What we have done in the past is take a daytime performance to them and even then it is hard to coordinate a good time that everyone can come and watch,” Hannold says. One of the recent workshops called Shape of a Girl was for older kids and focused on the hardhitting topic of bullying. After the performance the kids discussed bullying and how to try and eliminate it. The lessons presented in the performances give the children an opportunity to see them in a new and unique setting. “I had a great time at the show. Thank you for teaching us African culture. I liked the lesson that kindness always wins. I hope I come back soon,” says Mason, and Eagle County student Mason. When possible, the VVF asks students and teachers for feedback on the shows. Mason was one of dozens, but the input is gathered on a volunteer basis, so many students don’t include their last names. The same goes for teachers, even though their praise is equally useful for planning new shows, theater companies and future programs. “We loved the show, the theater group was amazing. When we got back to school the kids talked about what skits they liked the most. The lessons learned were thoughtfully embraced. The things we took home touched us all in so many ways,” says Ingrid, one of many Eagle County teachers to give feedback. A limited number of public tickets are available for $14 to parents or anyone else who would like to attend. The operation is funded by donors and would not be possible if it weren’t for a few key members. In particular, Pat and Pete Frechette are to thank, as well as the Vilar Center Guild and the United Way of Eagle River Valley. If it weren’t for community support these students wouldn’t have this free opportunity. “This year we currently have 7,400 students signed up so far. Needless to say, we are growing,” says Hannold. “Even the youngest kids are learning theater etiquette. They have been learning when to clap and when to laugh.” Beyond theater etiquette, the kids are learning different outlets for their creativity. Most kids already flex their imagination muscles on a daily basis. Plays are really an extension of our childhood imagination carried out on a stage. It is one of the only forms in the “adult world” where pretending to be someone else is applauded.

description of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE): a relatively new condition that links repetitive brain trauma to lifelong health issues like depression, dementia and memory loss. The remainder of the show was filled with sobering accounts – a section linking CTE to former pro Junior Seau’s suicide is particularly heart-wrenching – but most shocking was the deconstruction of NFL culture as a whole. “Frontline” suggested that most players and coaches assume trauma is part of the game, with little consideration for the long-term effects. In fact, Nowinski claims helmets and padding have fueled this misplaced sense of invincibility. “When you cover the surface of the skull with hard plastic, you remove the negative feedback of pain and blood,” Nowinski says. “In football, that’s led to skull fracturing and these other injuries that may not present themselves right away. What we’re learning is that repetitive brain trauma over and over can continue to destroy the brain after athletes are done competing.”

A few years before moving to Colorado, the current Ski and Snowboard Club Vail athlete suffered two concussions in the span of several weeks. The first came in February of 2008, when Schmidt was 11 years old. While cruising through the terrain park at his former home mountain of Waterhill Valley, N.H., he hit a kicker too fast and overshot the landing. Like the overwhelming majority of ski club athletes, he was wearing a helmet and never lost consciousness, but the crash was enough to sideline him for three weeks. The second concussion happened within days of returning to the Waterhill alpine course. During training, Schmidt lost control in the gates and was immediately sent to trainers for disorientation.

An audience of toddlers

Every Monday at the Bookworm, actress, singer and reader Franny Gustafson puts on a show for the valley’s youngest audience. By John O’Neill.

here are mice eating cookies and penguins that find friendship with pinecones. There are sneetches and foxes wearing socks, dogs that count and kid detectives who solve the world’s biggest mysteries.More so, there is a group of toddlers whose imaginations swirl with the mention of purple fluffy elephants, multi-colored counting fish and cats with big, stripped hats. Every Monday from 9:15 a.m. until about 10 a.m., the Bookworm in Edwards hosts Toddler Storytime. For the last two years, the event has become a tradition for parents and tots in the valley. At the center of all the educational silliness is Franny Gustafson: the reader, actress, singer and general ringleader of all things wacky and wild. “It is awesome to be a part of,” says Gustafson. “The kids are so engaged. They stare up at you wondering what is going to happen next. They clap along and dance their arms around. You can tell they are really getting it – that they are captivated.” Stage center: Franny Gustafson Morgan Freeman narrates, Sir David Attenborough voices documentaries, Franny Gustafson, 28, reads children’s books. Completely dedicated to the story, Gustafson does much more than turn the pages and read the words. She puts on costumes, dances, sings, asks the kids questions and thrives on a stage spotlighted by the untamed minds of youngsters. “I guess I am just really comfortable in front of the kids,” says Gustafson. “I came from a theater background. I was doing 12 shows a week with a children’s theater company when I was in high school.”

Toddler Storytime

What: An interactive book reading held weekly with local actress and singer Franny Gustafson When: Mondays at 9:15 a.m. Where: The Bookworm, Edwards Riverwalk Cost: Free To find out more about Toddler Storytime and other kid-friendly events at the Bookworm, see www.bookwormofedwards.com.

Coming from the theater, Gustafson does not hold back. If the story calls for dancing the sillies out, she literally dances the sillies out, right along with the audience. Gustafson has been in the valley for the last three years. She came here to work with the Bookworm as their children’s book specialist, and after six months with the popular bookstore, she decided to start Toddler Storytime. “When I am doing Storytime, I feel like I am performing for the kids – like I am acting out the story,” says Gustafson. “It is easy for me to put on that performance mask.” In addition to working with toddlers, Gustafson works with the Vail Valley Theater Company. It shows off her range as an actress: She recently played Janet, a straightlaced prude who finds her inner sexpot, for the company’s production of the cult classic “The Rocky Horror Show.” She leaves the fishnets at home when she is working with the toddlers, but Gustafson compliments Vail for having a very rich arts community, one she says can compete with those of much bigger towns and cities. “I think some of the people in this valley are so talented,” says Gustafson. “A lot of them used to do it professionally and moved to Vail to have a better life in the mountains.

Now, Gustafson provides that love of theater to the kids. Working with the toddlers, she captivates their minds at a very young age. She says one of her favorite parts of the job is watching regular visitors come out of their shells and fully partake in the wackiness. “The first time or two they come, the kids can be really shy,” Gustafson says. “But that typically doesn’t last long. The more they come, the more comfortable they get. They laugh and giggle and follow along.” Adding to her accolades, Gustafson went to school at St. Olaf College in Minnesota to study music. She left with a degree in English, doubling down on two of her passions. The acting, the theater and the English background all circle in on each other, and out comes a playful, engaging and spectacular story time that’s more performance than a typical book reading. For the kids, exposure to these stories turns into unhinged creativity, even beyond the Bookworm. “One of the dads was telling me the other day that his daughter would be in her bed at night singing along to the words from story time that week,” says Gustafson. “Another girl has been coming since she was really young. You can see her growing up with these stories. She loves it.”

You, Only Better

Henny Penny, also known as Chicken Little in the 1943 Disney film, used to run around screaming “The sky is falling, the sky is falling!” after acorns from oak trees fell on his head. Henny Penny was scared, as he thought the world was coming to an end. We all know that was not the case, but we may have felt this way in 2009 as we witnessed financial turmoil and the wrath of an uncontrolled real estate marketplace, brought about in part by predatory lending and no or low document loans. We, as realtors and neighbors, watched as over-leveraged Americans walked away from homes they could no longer afford. Hardest hit were average income earners and baby boomers borrowing against their retirement plans. The days of double-digit percentage returns on both real estate investments and hedge funds were over. Transactions in the real estate world came to a standstill, home values began to plummet and short sales were discovered. Fast-forward to today – Henny Penny is no longer running around, screaming in fear. Our Vail marketplace has resumed to a healthy state of business. Realtors from across the Vail Valley and the nation are seeing real estate interest return and sales numbers improve. Inventory in Eagle County, especially at lower price points, is low. Foreclosure is still apparent, but numbers indicate a return to normalcy and prosperity. Lenders have begun allowing qualified Americans to obtain loans for both investment and personal use. However, we are already starting to see the return of creative and unconventional financing. Meet the “reverse mortgage”: a lesser-known type of government-regulated loan built for cash-strapped and hard-hit seniors. Creative lending like a reverse mortgage is for borrowers 62 years old and older with equity in their homes. This product comes complete with a congressional pitchman, former presidential candidate Fred Thompson, who is touting its benefits. Mr. Thompson refers to these as government-backed securities and deems them a good way to pay off existing debts. As a paid spokesperson, Mr. Thompson does not tell you how you can still lose everything and im-

pose a large debt on your heirs. He also does not inform you that the company he represents has been sued multiple times by states’ attorney generals. States such as Illinois, Washington and Massachusetts have all taken legal action against deceptive marketing tactics aimed at a struggling senior population. Currently, approximately 40 percent of Colorado’s population is older than 55, and we are starting to see the first significant amounts of foreclosures from this type of loan. Financing techniques like the reverse mortgage enable a borrower to convert part of the equity in their home to cash. There are no terms on how you can spend your new-found financial wealth, and currently, there are no limits to how much you can take out. Yet most lenders will only allow you to borrow up to 60 percent of a home’s appraised value upon first draw and will analyze your ability to repay. Initially, borrowers on fixed incomes see an easy and constant revenue stream. Their home is usually their singlelargest asset and could be the last significant portion remaining in a retirement account. Lenders analyze assets before approval, but these types of mortgages have no real determining factor. Lenders often rely heavily on a borrower’s single credit score and history of repayment. A borrower can find themselves back in financial distress with no real ability to remove this new and prioritized lien. Similar to what we witnessed in late 2008 and into 2010, a borrower can suddenly be affected when the appraised value of a home drops with market fluctuations. When you pass, the property you borrowed against is sold to repay your debts, putting onus on the heirs. If the home is “underwater” (worth less than you originally borrowed), this could mean trouble for your estate. You are only responsible to pay back what the home is appraised at, but the repayment could come with significant fees and payment structures with high interest rates. As long as you live in the home, you are not required to make monthly payments towards the loan balance, and you need to remain current on your taxes, insurance and homeowners association payments (if any). Non-payment of all these fees usually causes the majority of newly minted foreclosure notifications. The word “mortgage” comes from the English word “mort,” which means “to die.” In lending, it refers to the end or death of a financial note that has come to fruition. A reverse mortgage can be a good choice for you and your family; however, by reversing your financial options, your mortgage will not help keep you young and prevent death to your mortgage. You should consult with a licensed financial planner you trust and your attorney before signing any document – trusting a former congressman-turned-pitchman is not recommended. This type of loan has hidden dangers that may come to a head just a few years down the road, when the economy has returned to a seller’s market and you are stuck underwater, or potentially feeling like the sky is falling.

SneakSPORTS: The Fall Classic

10 reasons to get excited for this year’s highly anticipated World Series Editor’s note: Minturnbased sports lover Patrick Whitehurst writes for www. fanrag.com. Tune in weekly for his musings on the wild and complicated love affair between American fans and their most cherished pastimes. He can be contacted through www.fanrag.com.

Baseball fans get rewarded this time of year. The World Series is an amazing event and the culmination of six months of balls, strikes, ground-rule doubles, grinding victories, tobacco spit, hot streaks and close calls. This year, the Fall Classic features two iconic baseball franchises and fanbases. Whether the series goes to the St. Louis Cardinals or Boston Red Sox, we’ll soon witness history. The X’s and O’s of baseball are best left to the experts and former players or managers. Like millions of Americans, I’m a baseball fan because I love the game. Us die-hard fans will watch every game, but there are plenty of reasons for even casual viewers to tune in.

10. Finality and closure. When it’s over, it’s over. Cubs, Mariners, Rockies and Brewers fans may have stopped watching baseball shortly after the All-Star break, when their teams were basically eliminated, but the series is a chance to watch the sport at its pinnacle. Next spring brings a fresh season and fresh hope – at least for a little while. 9. Coverage on Fox. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver anchor the coverage. While many viewers dismiss McCarver as drawn-out and bland, Buck elicits strong responses (love him or hate him) from nearly everyone. Buck grew up in St. Louis as the son of longtime Cardinals announcer Jack Buck and has a keen eye for the game. I’ve always been a big fan of Erin Andrews, for both her physical qualities (she’s hot) and the fun she brings to her segments. Her counterpart, the bowtiewearing Ken Rosenthal, is a phenomenal baseball mind. 8. MLB’s favorite players. Throughout his very successful

playing career, Carlos Beltran has put up impressive numbers and memorable postseason performances, but he’s never appeared in the World Series. Rockies fans still root for Cardinals leftfielder Matt Holliday, and everyone, everywhere knows the clutch tales of Big Papi. Dustin Pedroia is my second-favorite active player and will take center stage for the Red Sox. In a sport dominated by giants grabbing the bulk of headlines and endorsements, how can you not root for a 5-foot 8-inch guy weighing 165 pounds with the nickname “The Laser Show?” 7. Pitching duels. 13-11 games that feature 30 hits are fun, but this is October, not beer league softball. I’ll take a 2-1 or 1-0 edge-of-your-seat-the-whole-game contest any day. 6. Fenway Park. There’s no better stadium in baseball than Boston’s iconic park (only Lambeau ranks higher on an alltime list of sports venues). I can’t wait until the next time I step onto Red Sox home turf. 5. The fans. The Cardinals and Red Sox have some of the most passionate fans in all of sports. These people know the meaning of heartbreak, loyalty and pure joy. Whether these people still live in the areas in which their fanhood originated or have long ago moved on, a baseball cap or entire wardrobe with their team’s logo is never far away. These fans engage in superstitions and dressing their pets in team merchandise, as if the actual outcome of any given game depended on it. 4. Reactions and overreactions. Champagne will be popped and a championship will be celebrated, but fans and the press will also flood social media with fascinating perspectives and, sometimes, absurd or obnoxiously false information. No matter what happens, it’s guaranteed to be entertaining. 3. Boston beards. Those aren’t mountain men and the Red Sox aren’t employing an Amish first baseman! The beards worn by most of Boston’s roster are things of beauty and a collective rallying cry like no other. 2. World Series flashbacks. Baseball history buffs and viewers everywhere will get to relive archival footage of Kirk Gibson’s famous blast, Reggie Jackson’s monster night, Don Larsen’s perfect game, Kirby Puckett’s countless highlights and Joe Carter’s series-ending walk-off in Game 7, just to name a few. 1. The great unknown. Pinch-hitters, relievers, rookies and veteran All-Stars will play a role in determining which team takes the pennant. How can anyone predict the outcome?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about avoiding the long-term consequence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; very little is worth developing post-concussion syndromes.â&#x20AC;? Schmidtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience is a prime example of Nowinskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level-headed approach in action. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect athletes to swear off competition entirely, but in snow sports, he claims risk is always manageable. At SSCV, risk management is a priority for Cole. Before each season, all his athletes take an impact baseline test developed by The Brain and Behavior Clinic in Boulder, and he works closely with Vail Valley Medical Center for follow-up testing after an injury. More often than not, though, trust between athletes and coaches is the first step. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to hide injuries so they can continue competing,â&#x20AC;? Cole says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to understand the longterm risks, so speaking up is the beginning. We also let them know that their career isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out of the game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so it becomes a quality of life issue.

the Olympics and the X-Games, but we also want them to have health in the long-term.â&#x20AC;? Athletes are also required to wear helmets, yet as Nowinski notes with football, padding can sometimes backfire. He points to professional ski racing: Ever since helmets were introduced on the FIS circuit, the average on-hill speed has risen by 30 mph. Schmidt knows skiing at any level is a risk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; freeskier Sarah Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death last season was a devastating reminder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but he says most SSCV athletes treat helmets like an extension of their bodies. In a sport where progression is the norm, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a step in the right direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids understand, especially when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the club, that you put on your boots and you put on your skis and you put on your helmet,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think about it.â&#x20AC;?

ORAL HISTORY –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

with. That includes Schigymnasium Stams in Austria – they were the very first snow sports academy formed anywhere in the world, and consequently, they have the greatest history and track record. We’re now into our second year of doing an athlete exchange. They’ll bring a group of U-16 alpine skiers to train with us and live with local families for three weeks, then we bring a group of our own skiers to Austria. That’s the only international athlete exchange we do, but we have domestic relationships similar to that. Of course, one of the great things about having the earlyseason training venue at Golden Peak is that it brings the world’s greatest athletes to Vail to train. Our kids have the opportunity to watch and be around these incredible, incredible athletes. Colorado and Vail are really the center of the snow sports world today, both in the quality of skiing and the

culture. I’ve traveled everywhere in the world where there’s snow, and I really believe there’s no better place in the world to enjoy skiing, from the weather to the infrastructure of our resorts. There really is no place like it on Earth. SP: Looking back on your career, do you have any regrets? AR: It’s interesting – from the first time I was with the club in the ‘80s, it had long been a dream to go all the way to the top of Golden Peak. It’s a plan that’s been two years away for three decades. Now, we’re at the threshold of an opportunity to complete that project, and with Vail Resorts’ help, we’re in the process of coming to the U.S. Forest Service with a plan. What has been a dream for so long is now really a necessity – the growth of all winter sports, from our mogul skiers to boardercross and skicross, has made this

very important. It’s something of a regret that we hadn’t done it earlier, but we’re on the threshold. The club has a commitment to fund the cost of the expansion and our hope is to move through the process as quickly as possible.

SP: When will you know it’s time to retire, or at least step into a more hands-off role? AR: People often ask me, “When do you think you’ll retire?” My answer is always, “Retire from what?” There’s never been a day that I haven’t loved going to work and being with our staff and supporting kids who are dreaming big dreams. I honestly feel like I’ve never worked a day in my life, so why on earth would I want to retire? SneakPEAK editor Phil Lindeman can be reached at philip@sneakpeakvail.com

ROCKY HORROR –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– sweetened just moments later, when the entire scene – purple condom included – was repeated between Frank and Brad (Robert Wagner, reprising the role for the third year). The audience reacted as only a “Rocky Horror” audience would: by yelling “slut” and “asshole” for the first time, a chorus repeated haphazardly every time Brad and Janet appeared onstage. And the little touches didn’t end there. One of the show’s timeless tunes, “Sweet Transvestite,” comes shortly after the straight-laced couple first enter Frank’s dilapidated mansion. As the scientist strutted down a vagina-like staircase in sparkling high heels, he took a small, almost imperceptible bump of cocaine from mansion caretaker Riff-Raff (Rob Riney). Schober’s nonchalant head tilt sold the moment, as did Riney’s even smaller bump after the song began. In past articles on “Rocky Horror,” I’ve mentioned how the plot hardly matters. I stand by that interpretation – it ends as O’Brien’s beloved B-movies do, with the majority of characters coming out as aliens – but Sugar’s eye for detail made each scene more rewarding. The choreography for “Eddie’s Teddy” is inventive enough, with actors joyously tearing the heads off teddy bears to remove handfuls of stuffing, but the

discarded guts remain on-stage until the final curtain. It gives this production the sort of depth most sci-fi spoofs rarely have, let alone deserve. After the show, I briefly caught up with Sugar to hear his thoughts on the opening night. He’s seen “Rocky Horror” countless times before – his 2006 performance as Brad for The Avenue Theater won awards from Westword and Colorado Theater Guild – but the Vail audience caught him off-guard. At most showings, fans repeat lines and throw props as a well-rehearsed whole, giving the show some semblance of order. Yet in Vail, where people of all ages and classes come to recapture youth, a bit of anarchy was expected. I was more than guilty: When finally given the chance to interact with a free-wheeling cast, I had to yell, especially when The Criminologist (Cooter Overcash) launched into bouts of exposition. (Someone near the back earned plenty of chuckles by moaning “Shut UP already” like a ‘90s teenager.) This isn’t to say “Rocky Horror” devolved into an unintelligible mess. The show demands to move quickly, and I could tell a handful of newcomers were baffled by the breakneck pace and hit-or-miss characterizations. I’ve always found Ma-

genta and Columbia underdeveloped, but that’s a fault of the script, not the VVTC cast. On its 40th anniversary, I’d safely claim “Rocky Horror” as the preeminent cult classic of the ‘70s, maybe even the ‘80s and ‘90s. But the question lingers: Given its rough edges, how’d it come to outlast legitimate Tony and Oscar winners? Perhaps the two 50-something women seated behind me on Friday have the answer. Throughout the show, they sang loudly and yelled confidently. They were obviously familiar with the show, yet when the lights came up at intermission, I was shocked to see they were dressed for an early dinner at Vin 48, or maybe a low-key cocktail party. I asked if the two had seen the VVTC production before and they enthusiastically nodded yes, then both said they’d return for closing night, when the actors have eased into their roles and the crowd is at its rowdiest. “Who couldn’t love this show?” one of the women wondered, then nodded at my silk boxers and striped tights. “That’s a good look.” Only at “Rocky Horror.” SneakPEAK editor Phil Lindeman can be reached at philip@sneakpeakvail.com
