Don’t Let Hip or Knee pain Keep You Down What do these locals and dozens of others have in common? They were all living with the debilitating effects of a degenerative hip or knee. Pain was causing them to miss out on doing the things they loved, and they decided to do something about it. They all had joint implant surgery with the advanced MAKOplasty® system, meaning recovery time was decreased. Now they’re up, not down. Up for skiing, hiking, horseback riding, and everything else they’d been missing.

Ask how MAKOplasty® can relieve your hip and knee pain. Call 970.925.4141

MAKOplasty ® is powered by the surgeon-controlled RIO® robotic arm system enabling advanced treatment options for more accurate hip and knee implant placement.

Individual results may vary. There are risks associated with any hip or knee surgical procedures, including MAKOplasty.® Your doctor can explain these risks and help determine if MAKOplasty ® is right for you.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with STEWART OKSENHORN

FILM THE LAST TIME Joel and Ethan Coen made a music-themed film, it set off an explosion; many people credit their 2000 film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” with sparking an interest in bluegrass. The Coens’ latest, “Inside Llewyn Davis,” hasn’t yet touched off another folk craze, but there are other good reasons for seeing it. The Coens have been praised for finding the sadness and warmth in the story of a prickly folksinger who lands in 1961 Greenwich Village looking to hit it big with his guitar and songs. The AFI named it movie of the year, while lead actor Oscar Isaac was nominated for a Golden Globe. “Inside Llewyn Davis” shows Thursday, Jan. 16 at the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale. And the soundtrack, featuring Marcus Mumford, the Punch Brothers and Justin Timberlake, is worth a listen.

Oscar Isaac stars in “Inside Llewyn Davis,” showing Thursday, Jan. 16 at the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale.

CURRENTEVENTS THEATER

Nick Garay and Jaime Sklavos star in Colorado Mountain College’s production of “Amadeus,” playing Thursday and Friday, Jan. 16-17, at the Wheeler Opera House.

“AMADEUS,” PETER SHAFFER’S 1979 play, never aimed for historical accuracy in its depiction of the 18th-century Viennese composers Mozart and Salieri. Instead, Shaffer used those competing characters to construct a play that brought to life issues of jealousy, ego, genius and ambition. Shaffer’s inventions seem to have resonated; he earned a Tony Award for best play, and the 1985 film, with a screenplay by Shaffer, took an Oscar for best picture. Colorado Mountain College Theatre opened its production of “Amadeus” — directed by Brad Moore, and starring Nick Garay as Mozart and Gary Ketzenbarger as Salieri — in October in Glenwood Springs. It transfers the show to the Wheeler Opera House on Thursday and Friday, Jan. 16-17.

“Belle Nuit Géometrique” is part of the exhibition The Legacy of Herbert Bayer Recent Gifts and Loans to the Aspen Institute, showing at the Institute’s Doerr-Hosier Center.

VISUAL ARTS NEVER MIND PAINTINGS of the Maroon Bells. If you want to represent Aspen visually, the best way is through the work of Herbert Bayer. The Austrian-born Bauhaus artist and designer, who was brought to Aspen in the 1940s by Walter Paepcke, designed almost all of the Aspen Meadows campus, which remains an icon of the look of Aspen. He also designed posters and houses, made paintings and photographs and tapestries. The Aspen Institute takes a broad look at his work with The Legacy of Herbert Bayer: Recent Gifts and Loans to the Aspen Institute, curated by longtime local art dealer David Floria. The exhibition is at the Institute’s Doerr-Hosier Center.

humans are pumping into the atmosphere will actually result in global “cooling.” Limbaugh, true to form, never explained his reasoning and instead fell back on his tired old claim that “global warming is a hoax” perpetrated by the supposed (but really nonexistent) “left-wing media.” Hannity, however, had made his remarks about a real theory that the sun is entering an unusually prolonged period of curtailed sunspot activity. It seems sunspots normally go quiescent every decade or two, but scientists now worry the coming solar calming may be a bigger deal than at any time since the 1700s. Researchers have reported that the sun has cooled off a bit in the last decade or so due to this calming effect, not by much but enough to cancel out some of the warming effects of the CO2 overload in the atmosphere from about 2000 to 2008. There are some who say that, as a result of this hibernation by the sun, we are headed into a “mini-Ice Age” of the sort that chilled Europe for 70 years, from 1645 to 1715. But others believe that, due to the amount of CO2 we’ve built up in the atmosphere, the chill won’t be as detectable, nor as dangerous, as in previous episodes. And once the chilling is over, we’ll be back to the warming trend we are experiencing now, perhaps starting around the year 2080. This implies a pause of some kind and, if we get our act together on greenhouse gases during that pause, we may be able to stave off some of the nastier consequences of climate change when the hibernation ends. Given our tendency to ram our collective heads into the sand at every opportunity, though, it’s more likely that our petrochemical addiction will be allowed to continue unchecked, and the ultimate outcome will be a rebounding of global warming trends at an even faster rate than what we have now. And, of course, Hannity and Limbaugh won’t be around to accept any portion of the blame for our lack of action during the pause.

A RECENT NEWS story reported that it hasn’t gotten cold enough in Basalt to solidify the surface of the town’s new ice rink, unbelievably enough. In Carbondale, by comparison, the 12-mile distance between the two towns seems to have given us a localized confirmation of the vagaries of global warming. That’s because Carbondale’s rinks did freeze over and have hosted skating parties, broom-ball matches and other social endeavors. Some 97 percent of scientists believe humans activities have raised CO2 levels above 400 parts per million, apparently a record. And some of them have warned us that global warming (or climate change, its less politically charged labeling equivalent) will cause seemingly crazy geographical localized variations in temperatures, the severity of storms and other phenomena, as well as melting the ice caps and most glaciers, and raising the levels of our oceans. This year, the denizens of the Roaring Fork Valley have been rejoicing in one of those crazy variations in the weather, which has brought this tiny part of the world the best early-season skiing conditions in some time. The recent cold snap, perhaps understandably, has spawned a rash of jokes about global warming nationwide. Fox News recently ran a piece titled, “What Global Warming?” along with other, similarly slanted broadcast bits over the course of 2013. Hate-radio whack-job Rush Limbaugh repeatedly ridiculed the idea of global warming over the past year, in the face of mounting scientific acceptance of the concept. At one point he urged his followers to put their faith in God rather than in the blatherings of scientists where global warming is concerned. It should be noted that some religious leaders, most notably the Evangelical Environmental Network, have appealed to Limbaugh to back off from his zanier anti-global warming rhetoric. Limbaugh later followed his fellow traveler in Fox-News lunacy, Sean Hannity, in claiming that the monstrous quantities of CO2 we

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

The Midnight Mine yielded strands of wire silver (shown with penny for scale).

SILVER AND SILVER! THERE IS SILVER and then there is SILVER! The difference is profit. Silver prices ranged from 25 cents up to $1.25 per ounce during the years silver was mined in Aspen. Ore quality varied widely: low-grade ore holding 10-12 ounces in a ton was barely worth hauling out of the mountain; 5,000 ounces per ton made you a fortune — even at a quarter per ounce. Aspen’s extensive silver deposits were of extraordinarily high grade. Nearly every mine, at some point, encountered native silver — ore so rich in content that it can be called pure, requiring neither milling nor processing. Pockets of native silver, if large enough, turned a mediocre mine into a profitable one within days. Of the hundreds of Aspen mining claims with areas of native silver, most had only one or two small pockets, enough for a couple of men to haul their entire bounty to town with a few mule trips. Mines such as the Smuggler, which made Aspen famous, yielded many areas of native silver, with the discoveries spread across decades. Formed through a hydrothermal emplacement process, native silver collects in molten form and injects along fault lines. As the pockets dry out, silver strands grow like crystals underground. Aspen’s silver deposits were also reworked when water dissolved the metal and repositioned

1890 find was described as having a “moss-like appearance — long wires several inches long interlaced until they form a mass as large as a goose egg.” In 1909, the ninth level of the Smuggler gave up “wire strands so long that the silver haired girls of Aspen will soon use it as ringlets in place of switches.” The mine removed half a train carload of those precious strands. In 1891, Aspen sought to lobby

President Harrison on the silver issue. Harrison did not respond with a visit to Aspen, but on his trip through Colorado he stopped briefly in Glenwood. There, Aspen’s delegation presented him with a souvenir: a 10by-14 inch card with “Aspen Silver” spelled out in large wire sliver letters. Assayers’ buttons of silver framed that script, spelling out “Honest Money” above and “Free Coinage” below. Unless you are a silver miner — Harrison was not — strands of wire and dull assay buttons do not present the prettiest possible picture. Perhaps Harrison would have been more impressed with a sterling sliver tray. Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective.

“SUNDAY A NUMBER OF MEN from Aspen went to the William’s brothers’ ranch on SnowMass and helped in the branding of 100 head of cattle and calves,” noted an article in the Nov. 17, 1908 Aspen Daily Times. “As usual those who went to the ranch enjoyed themselves amid the sizzling of branding irons and the bawls of the cattle. The dinner after the day’s work was the best ever, say those who were at the ranch. The Williams boys know a thing or two about showing their visitors a good time. It was a tired but happy bunch that arrived home late that night, after the fourteen mile drive.”

THE SWEET SPOT: DYNAFIT ONE PX THE DILEMMA Alpine touring has always presented issues for skiers and boot manufacturers. Everybody wants a lightweight boot for the uphill leg of a tour, and a stiff, high-performance boot for the downhill leg. Only recently has anyone been able to say they’ve finally found the sweet spot.

WHY IT WORKS Dynafit has pushed the frontiers of alpine touring and ski mountaineering for years, to the point where virtually every AT boot maker now includes a sole that’s compatible with the Dynafit binding system. Now Dynafit features an entire line of AT boots that are light and comfortable for the uphill and snug-fitting, stiff and powerful for the downhill. There are lighter Dynafit boots and stiffer Dynafit boots, but this affordable boot combines all the right attributes in “One” welldesigned product.

THE FIX The Dynafit One PX

BONUS The Ultra-Lock System 2.0 is an effective, user-friendly method for switching from walk to ski mode, using the uppermost buckle of this threebuckle boot. (The middle buckle does a superb job of securing the heel in place.) Plus, the liner can be heat-molded to your foot to provide the best possible fit.

GET IT

Located at Aspen Highlands Village, Aspen Expeditions is a Dynafit Test Center, which means you can test and, if you like, purchase a variety of Dynafit gear.

WINEINK

GOING TO TOWN

FINE WINE JUST ONE REASON TO HEAD DOWNVALLEY FOR DINNER IT USED TO BE that if I asked my wife if she wanted to go to town for dinner, we would launch into the “where do you want to go” conversation about Aspen restaurants. But today if I ask: “Wanna go to Town?” she knows exactly what I mean and we point our wheels downvalley to Mark Fischer’s reinvention on Main Street in Carbondale. KELLY J. Count me amongst HAYES the many who feared that the move from the classic building that housed the oh-socomfy six89 to new digs would be, if not a downgrade, at least a change of major proportions. I was a huge fan, not just of the room, but of the food and, perhaps most important, the wine program in the old house. But as time has passed it has become clear that Fischer was able to not just replicate what was great in the past, but update the room and the food to create a new kind of dining experience. Chef Bryce Orblom’s food is as inspired and as fresh as the seasons. A new and vastly improved cocktail program entices. And the focus on Colorado beers has also been a welcome addition, with a half-dozen taps pouring suds from around the state. But perhaps the best news is that wine-guy Bill Bentley is still in charge of a list that has been pared down in size but still delivers great value and choice. Bill is a father, an outdoorsman and a lover of great wines and wine stories. He is not what would be characterized as a sommelier, though he is fully capable of standing aside a table, recommending a perfect pairing and then opening and pouring with the appropriate aplomb. His style, however, is much more casual and approachable than one would expect from someone with a title. When Bill fills your glass and tells the story of the wine, you almost want to clear a chair and ask him to sit down and join you at the table. Town’s current list includes about 75 wines and I agree with Bill

LAND OF OZ

AUSSIES FIND MORE THAN AN AUTHENTIC CUPPA AT VICTORIA’S AMID A SEA of leather and chrome in the Black Hills of South Dakota last summer, I found myself harangued by a pair of badass Australian biker dudes. They weren’t drunk — yet — but they were incensed: In three weeks of cruising through the western United States, they growled, nowhere could they find a good cup of coffee. I was stunned. Here AMANDA were two renegade RAE foreigners spewing a snobby generalization: that coffee in America tastes of watered-down battery acid. I had to wonder where these guys were getting caffeinated, because I’ve sipped legit lattes in some of the cities they’d cruised: Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. Clearly, they had different standards. “Swing through Aspen en route to Texas,” I suggested, as we packed up camp and prepared to part ways under a hazy sunrise. “I know of a spot slingin’ just what you’ve been missing.” I meant Victoria’s Espresso Wine Bar & Gourmet Grazing, where the menu promises a “true Aussie-style cafe experience in the USA, one that respects its European heritage, not only in our coffee, but also the quality of our food and wine.” In 2009, Victoria Haveland and John Beatty — foodies from the java-obsessed cities of Vancouver and Sydney, respectively — opened Victoria’s where the Meatball Shack sits now. It was “a test to see if Americans would take to Australianstyle coffee,” Victoria says. “And Australians found us there.” Victoria’s, which serves artisanal espresso beverages and globally influenced cuisine from sunrise to past sundown, moved to the corner of East Durant and Cooper avenues in 2011. Now Haveland estimates that 80 percent of her wintertime customers hail from Australia or New Zealand. “They are coffee gurus,” she proclaims. “They are travelers and coffee drinkers. Seriously.” Canberra capital city native and part-time Aspen resident Trevor

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Sutton puts it this way: “We love Americans, the culture, and the mountains. We just don’t like your coffee!” He laughs good-naturedly. “American coffee, quite frankly, is like a warm milkshake, really. It’s fine to drink occasionally, but it doesn’t have that depth or quality.” Sutton frequents Victoria’s for an authentic “flat white”: a 6-ounce blend of a double shot of espresso with steamed milk. Though similar to a latte or cappuccino, the drink’s more balanced ratio lends a unique richness. “It’s the coffee we drink in Australia,” he says, and it’s “not around here anywhere else.” Australia’s coffee culture brewed strong following World War II, when Italian and Greek immigrants infiltrated the Land Down Under, bringing espresso and cultural traditions with them. Coffee shops became meccas of good food made with fresh produce, as well as community hubs. This “third wave of coffee is not about the caffeine, it’s about the flavor, quality, and enjoyment of it,” says Beatty, whose grandfather’s best friend owned Australia’s first espresso machine in Sydney, at a place called Pellegrini’s. “In America, coffee shops were regarded as comfy places, and not about the coffee.” When Charlie Bligh, 24, here on summer holiday from the University of Queensland, first visited Aspen in 2010 on a student visa, he nabbed a part-time barista job at Victoria’s — along with six other 20-somethings from his homeland. “Aussies take their coffee so seriously,” Bligh explains. “There are a lot of Australians in Aspen at the moment. They come in and say, ‘Can I get my coffee as Australian as possible, please?’” Haveland admits to getting “a little feisty when someone hands us the Splendas to put in the drink,” without tasting it first. Plenty gripe about “small” sizes — 12 ounces, max, but double shots are standard, unlike singles some competitors pour — even though baristas will fill reusable cups of any dimension at no extra charge. Thankfully, international folk see through the foam. “Victoria’s has the best coffee in town,” says TV host, producer, and

Janu ar y 16 - Janu ar y 22 , 20 14

actress Ramona Bruland, one of Aspen’s most recognizable Aussie transplants and an espresso purist. “Depending on who’s working, it is as close as you can get to the Melbourne barista scene. Hands down.” (An expat of 11 years, Bruland covers Aspen’s Jan 26. Australia Day celebrations for “Sunrise,” Australia’s top morning TV program.) Flat whites are all the rage, plus regional specialties for brekkie (see “Tasty Aussie Lingo,” opposite page), lunch, and dinner, including minced meat pies, chicken curry, and sangas, Australian sandwiches served on soft Turkish bread. Quality is queen: beans are custom roasted by boutique purveyors in Chicago, Denver, and Leadville; produce is local; and everything on the menu, from spice blends to scones to soymilk to barbecue sauce to wattleseed yogurt, is made from scratch. Salmon is cured on-site in Hendrick’s gin; locals score a couple bucks off lox-topped bagels. In summertime, Beatty, who grew up on a peach orchard outside of Sydney, freezes enough Palisade stone fruit to make smoothies until the next harvest. He churns 10 flavors of ice cream, too. In winter, Haveland concocts a flu-busting potion of lemon myrtle, crushed rosemary, and Tasmanian honey.

“I’ve been taught to make coffee by many Australians, even in Vancouver,” Haveland explains. “I was taught by an Australian how to make beautiful, free-form poached eggs, served on toast with gremolata. Everything we do has a bit of that international flair: Lebanese, Greek, Thai food [that is] comfortable and approachable.” On Thursday evenings, Victoria’s bar menu features Italian fare — house-made pasta, polenta, croquettes, crostini — with worldly wines and a side of live music. “There are other coffee shops, but Victoria’s brings the locals and the tourists together. It’s always a nice blend, which is really what Aspen is all about,” says area business owner Tim Foster. “Both John and Victoria are gourmets at heart, and they care about the food.” And, despite some lost-intranslation moments, authenticity. Take Victoria’s sausage roll, an Aussie specialty that wraps curried ground meat in layers of flaky puff pastry. “On the sign it says, ‘Contains no sausage,’ Haveland says. “Americans take pictures of it; Australians get it.” Long night?

receiving rave reviews ever since. Now don’t get us wrong, this is beer, but not buds, but it’s a fun play on the pot scene. “Since we opened last year,” says head brewer Brian Lutz, “many of our customers have told us they wanted to be able to enjoy Recreational Smoke here at our brewpub. In light of recent events, we decided the time was right for us to make that happen.” Described as a homegrown, fully legal, Americanstyle porter, Recreational Smoke is enhanced with beechwood smoked malts from Bamburg, Germany. And the specialty grains are paired with an array of other baked and toasted malts to create a unique beer with notes of chocolate, brownies, and satisfying smoked flavors throughout — all rolled up in a heady beer with a mellow 6 percent alcohol content.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

The current Spring Board members dressed to the nines for their recent “ski town chic” themed party. All proceeds from the event went to the Spring Board College Fund.

THE YOUNG ASPEN PHILANTHROPISTS IMBIBING FOR A CAUSE

ON A RECENT FRIDAY, at the Mountain Chalet in downtown Aspen, a party was going down. Young patrons were sporting a plethora of fur, neon headbands, and colorful vintage onesies. Wine glasses were clinking together in celebratory glee and a DJ was spinning tunes at the head of a bustling dance floor. But this wasn’t your typical mountainBARBARA town soiree. This PLATTS event had a greater purpose. It was organized by Spring Board, one of Aspen’s youngest philanthropic organizations. Spring Board is a group of likeminded Aspenites between the ages of 21-35 that wants to make a difference in the Roaring Fork Valley while developing their leadership skills. The board currently has 15 members that meet at least once a month to learn about philanthropy and support youth-related causes in the Roaring Fork Valley. Spring Board launched in 1997 as part of the Aspen Community Foundation (ACF). However, in the last year, the nonprofit went through a remodel of sorts. After several strategy sessions, Spring Board members decided to focus on a sole cause they wanted to support.

The changes they made aligned with the Cradle to Career Initiative, a program ACF started that works with nonprofits to help support kids

work setting or a social setting. This is something different.” Spring Board showed off the changes they made in the last year

“WE ARE TRYING TO SHOW THAT REALLY ANYONE CAN GIVE BACK AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE WANT TO GIVE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS A CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE THROUGH EVENTS LIKE THIS. THEY’RE FUN. THEY’RE THEMED. AND THEY’RE NOT A TYPICAL EXPENSIVE EVENT.” – MARINA CHIASSON, SPRING BOARD MEMBER from birth to the start of college or career. They also changed the structure of their meetings to provide a wellrounded philanthropic education and to teach members how to work efficiently on a board. “It feels like we have more of a purpose now,” board member Samantha Jacobs said. “It’s much more about learning how to be a philanthropist.” In the meetings, the 15 members now take turns trying out different leadership positions on the board and giving presentations on topics that relate to their initiatives. “You are learning about new people, how to communicate better, working out disagreements and different issues,” board member Marina Chiasson said. “It’s not in a

at their themed “ski town chic” party Jan. 1o. The event provided a fun way to get the young Aspen community involved in their mission — similar to past Spring Board events like the popular prom-themed party titled “Give some, Get some.” “We are trying to show that really anyone can give back and make a difference,” Chiasson said. “We want to give young professionals a chance to participate through events like this. They’re fun. They’re themed. And they’re not a typical expensive event.” As for the youth program that was created as a result of their remodel? The board decided to focus their efforts on high school seniors in the Roaring Fork Valley by raising money for college test

prep, materials, entry exams, and applications for admission and financial aid. They hope to be able to go into high schools to help implement these programs in fall 2014. “If we can provide even one person with an opportunity to go to school we will be successful,” board member Katie HedlundGroden said. “I know I would have loved to have this kind of help before college.” Hedlund-Groden is excited about the new college prep program, but for her, and many members, the experience of being a part of Spring Board and working closely with a group of young professionals is where the learning experience truly originates. “This board opens your eyes to a whole lot more,” Hedlund-Groden said. “It’s a chance to meet likeminded people who want to make a difference.” Spring Board is accepting new members starting in May 2014.

PLEASE YOUR PALATE IN … SNOWMASS?

BY JILL BEATHARD

here’s a common perception that you have to go to Aspen if you want to go out for a nice dinner.

Chris Blachly, chef and owner of Il Poggio on the Snowmass Village Mall, says he used to see a line of cars stretching the span of Owl Creek Road as people returned to their hotels in Snowmass after dining in Aspen. Aspen has the nightlife, the celebrity spottings, and, in all fairness, some very good restaurants. But what Blachly and others know is that while Snowmass might not compete with Aspen for “scene,” it does have a wealth of talented chefs and good food to offer. “I understand the glitz and glamour of being in Aspen,” agrees James Mazzio, chef at The Edge restaurant in Timberline Condominiums. “My real take is: We’re just trying to do honest food. There really isn’t that glitz and glamour here.”

“I UNDERSTAND THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR OF BEING IN ASPEN. MY REAL TAKE IS: WE’RE JUST TRYING TO DO HONEST FOOD. THERE REALLY ISN’T THAT GLITZ AND GLAMOUR HERE.” – CHEF JAMES MAZZIO, THE EDGE 28

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Janu ar y 16 - Janu ar y 22 , 20 14

James Mazzio, who started working in restaurants 25 years ago at Mezzaluna, went on to earn the coveted “Best New Chef ” award from Food & Wine Magazine in 1999 while working at 15 Degrees in Boulder. Mazzio has three rules for his ingredients: they must be raised or grown in Colorado, or sold by a Colorado company. He follows his own rules as much as possible, from the microgreens he buys from a downvalley resident to Avalanche Cheese Co. and 7X Beef products. “The whole farm-to-table craze now wasn’t a craze when I worked (in the past), that was what it was,” said Mazzio, who grew up on a farm outside Philadelphia. “We were always that way.” Mazzio started writing menus for The Edge at Timberline Condominiums three years ago and took an eclectic approach with recipes and styles from all over the world. When be became The Edge’s full-time chef last summer, he took the restaurant to a Mediterranean-style cuisine, which still includes a big variety but focuses on Italian, French and Spanish dishes. “I just realized we were kind of missing a good beat here in Snowmass,” Mazzio said. “It took us two years to find our niche. We don’t want to compete, we just want to add on to what’s going on.” New this season, The Edge is offering a tapas menu from 3 p.m. to close. The small dishes can “get the meal started, or they can be the meal,” Mazzio said. And they can be a good way to try the menu without breaking the bank. The Edge is also offering burgers, brats and pulled pork in its Mountainside Grill on its slopeside patio from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The staff at The Edge says guests stop in four or five times during their vacation because they can’t get enough. “I had someone from New York tell me that this restaurant could be anywhere in New York,” Mazzio said. “I was insulted. … Just cause we’re not in New York doesn’t mean we’re not good.”

Eight K

“WHEN I GOT TO SNOWMASS, YOU COULD DEFINITELY TELL SNOWMASS WAS … ON THE VERGE. A BIG CHANGEOVER WAS HAPPENING.” – CHEF WILL NOLAN, EIGHT K PHOTOS BY LEIGH VOGEL

Will Nolan started working in the kitchen at the Viceroy four years ago and worked his way up to executive chef. Sitting in an office isn’t much for him though; you can still find him in the Eight K kitchen more often than not, unless he’s snowboarding. “When I got to Snowmass, you could definitely tell Snowmass was … on the verge,” Nolan said. “A big changeover was happening.” To Nolan, the dining options in Snowmass are elevating. It’s common consensus though that the Eight K restaurant at the Viceroy raised the bar initially when Nolan came on. Nolan studied at a Le Cordon Bleu school in Portland and has worked in upstate New York, Portland and upscale restaurants in New Orleans. Although he has a fine dining background, when he came to the Viceroy, he just wanted to “cook good food,” he said. Nolan is a native of New Orleans and incorporates southern Louisiana tastes in his food. “We take really upper-end cooking techniques, styles, even products and incorporate a southern Louisiana twist to it,” Nolan said. Eight K can get diners in, out and back on the slopes quickly or it can be a place to relax and eat at a more leisurely pace. The Viceroy also houses the slopeside restaurant Nest, which was recently overhauled to become a gastropub serving house-made hot dogs and sausages and Colorado beers. Nolan tries to incorporate local ingredients as well, buying meat from Emma Farms and cheese from Avalanche. Included on the Eight K menu are trout, elk and other dishes that visitors associate with Colorado. Nolan said he loves to take “dishes that people have heard about” and add a twist, creating menu items such as jambalaya-stuffed quail. “If you love what you do and you cook good food, it’ll come through,” Nolan said.

“My favorite are the people who say, ‘We’ve been coming here for 15 years,’ or ‘We live here’ and they’ve never heard of us,” said Chris Blachly, who has been chef at Il Poggio for 24 years. “And they’re pleased. … For some people it’s just assumed that they have to go to Aspen.” Il Poggio only serves dinner and is very successful in the winter. As for a lot of Snowmass businesses, summer is a harder nut to crack, but Blachly said this past season saw improvement. There might be a lot of people in the dark about Il Poggio, but once they try it they return again and again. One of Blachly’s secrets to success is his staff, many of whom have worked there almost as long as him. “I think people like coming to work here,” Blachly said. “If it’s a good work environment, that translates into good food, good service.” Blachly graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder and started working in restaurants while he was studying. He interned with the American Culinary Federation and worked at Aspen restaurants Charlemagne and Andiamo, the latter in order to receive some Italian training. After Il Poggio went through six chefs in its first year, Blachly was hired, and over time he took over ownership as well. “It’s a lot of hard work and there’s definitely luck involved, and certainly having a great staff makes a difference,” Blachly said. “I think we’re pretty straightforward in what we do.” Il Poggio changes its menu items from time to time, but there are some things that “we just couldn’t get rid of because people would be up in arms,” Blachly said. Over the years, Blachly has seen other restaurants in Snowmass come and go. When he first started there was a plethora of dining options, then there was a phase when there were very few, he said. “Now things have gotten better,” Blachly said. “It’s not like it’s more competition. It keeps people in Snowmass.”

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

WHAT’S UP? DOCS TELLER, THE SILENT, SHORTER member of the magic duo Penn & Teller, recently made his debut as a documentary filmmaker. He directed “Tim’s Vermeer,” a portrait of an inventor who believes he has discovered the mysterious technique behind the paintings of Johannes Vermeer, then sets out to prove it by painting a Vermeer of his own. With his latest accomplishment, Teller thinks he has gained some insight into the world of documentaries: “If everyone followed Walt Disney’s lead and called them ‘true-life adventures,’ they’d be more popular,” he said in an interview last month with The Aspen Times. “’Documentary’ makes it sound like something dry and dull.” Teller is onto something as a filmmaker. “Tim’s Vermeer,” which was included in Aspen Film’s recent Academy Screenings program, is a fascinating story, well told. But as a spokesman for documentaries, his thinking seems to be outdated. Look at the Wheeler Opera House. Three years ago they launched Monday Docs. The series was intended to bring back films that had proved popular at the Wheeler’s MountainSummit festival, and also to help keep MountainSummit, established four years ago in partnership with Mountainfilm in Telluride, in the minds of the public. But Monday Docs has quickly surpassed its original purpose. There are enough high-quality documentaries, and enough of an audience for them, that Gram Slaton, the Wheeler’s executive director, is scrambling for dates for all the “true-life adventures” he’d like to screen. “I had many more to choose from than I had space for,” Slaton said of this year’s Monday Docs series, which opens Jan. 27 and is presented in partnership with Aspen Film and Mountainfilm. “They just kept coming and coming and coming. We’ve tried to find more space for them, so added a couple of Mondays. It’s moved from

becoming a recap to booking those feature-length docs that get released too early for MountainSummit and Aspen Filmfest, and too late for Mountainfilm.” The Wheeler released this winter’s Monday Docs program, expanded to seven screenings, a few weeks ago, and already it needs an update. One film — “The Armstrong Lie,” about bike racer Lance Armstrong — has been added to the schedule; another title is being strongly considered. This is on top of

the screenings earlier this month of “The Crash Reel,” a documentary about snowboarder Kevin Pearce that was presented outside the Monday Docs series. In addition, the documentary “Bloody Couloir,” about a wheelchair skier, is being presented by an outside organization on Monday, Jan. 20 at the Wheeler. The Wheeler is also bringing back its Rock Docs series. The series, which debuted last year, focuses on documentaries about music. (Not included in the series was “Celebration Day,” the Led Zeppelin concert film that was shown last week as part of the Wintersköl activities.) Slaton points to the film “20 Feet From Stardom,” a documentary about female back-up singers, as a film that in the past he would have put in the Rock Docs series. But the movie had a standard release in Aspen in the fall, and also showed at Academy Screenings. “Two, three years ago, we could have shown something like that because no one would have seen it. Now these kinds of docs are just becoming mainstream,” Slaton said. Thanks to documentarians like Michael Moore, whose provocative films “Fahrenheit

9/11” and “Bowling for Columbine” drew broad audiences, and movies including “March of the Penguins” and “An Inconvenient Truth,” which racked up blockbuster attendance, moviegoers have become far more receptive to documentaries — no matter what they are called. “It used to be a specialty item you ran in its own festival — MountainSummit, Mountainfilm — with maybe a few in Aspen Filmfest, as another flavor in that festival,” Slaton said. “Now it’s gotten to the point that docs are part of the general release schedule, showing in multiplexes. ‘20 Feet From Stardom’ is a perfect example.” Driving the boom is a combination of technological, sociological and cinematic factors. On the technology side, the expense of creating goodlooking footage is nothing like the barrier it was to producing a film than it had been since the birth of filmmaking. Teller said that, even a few years ago, he couldn’t have made the high-quality video he needed to make “Tim’s Vermeer” viable. Cinematically, filmmakers have learned that documentaries really can be told with a sense of adventure. And a good portion of the public seems to look at movies

not as an escape from reality but a way to embrace it. “These days, docs feel like the best stories out there,” Slaton said. “If you look at what ran in Academy Screenings, many of them were based on true stories: ‘12 Years a Slave,’ ‘Mandela,’ ‘Dallas Buyers Club.’ I think people are just hungry for real stories, told really well. The art of documentary storytelling has grown by leaps and bounds over the last five years.” Slaton doesn’t limit his doc watching to what he sees in the Wheeler. “I love them. I watch them at home. If there’s a good doc, I’ll watch it over anything else,” he said. Here’s what’s coming to the Wheeler:

Monday Docs

• “Stories We Tell,” Jan. 27: Actordirector Sarah Polley turns the camera on herself, and on her family, with all its character, complications and secrets. “Stories We Tell” unfolds partly as a mystery, partly as an outstanding home movie, and partly as an intimate psychological examination and revelation. It has won a Canadian Genie award, as well as honors from the National Board of Review and the New York Film Critics Circle. • “Thomas Keating: A Rising Tide of Silence,” Feb. 3: Director Peter Jones offers a touching portrait of Father Thomas Keating, founder of the Snowmass Monastery, an important figure in the Centered Meditation

movement, and an international figure in spirituality. • “The Armstrong Lie,” Feb. 10-11: Director Alex Gibney (“Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room,” “Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson”) was hired several years ago to make a portrait of cycling champ and part-time Aspenite Lance Armstrong’s return to racing. After the doping scandal, and finally Armstrong’s confession, the project was revived with a very different take on its subject. Slaton believes Aspenites will flock to the Wheeler: “I think, in this town, it can run for two days,” he said. • “Uranium Drive-In,” Feb. 17: Telluride filmmaker Suzan Barza’s last film, “Bag It,” was a light-hearted take on the serious issue of plastic. This time the subject matter is serious and so is the tone. “Uranium Drive-In” looks at the proposed uranium mill in tiny Naturita, which will provide jobs to the struggling town but has also alarmed environmentalists. Barza does a magnificent job of taking in both sides. Screenings at Mountainfilm packed the festival’s biggest venue. Barza will be in attendance for a Q&A following the Wheeler screening. • “Salinger,” Feb. 24: After writing the iconic “The Catcher in the Rye,” “Franny

P H O T O S C O U R T E S Y T H E W E I N S T E I N C O M P A N Y ( T O P ) A N D B Y F R E D A K E L LY

and Zooey” and “Nine Stories,” writer J.D. Salinger spent most of the rest of his life ducking the public. Screenwriter Shane Salerno spent much of his life — 20 years, reportedly — chasing down those close to Salinger as research for this documentary. It is said to be the most authoritative look at one of America’s most reclusive figures. • “Antarctica: A Year on Ice,” March 3: New Zealand photographer Anthony Powell spent 15 years, including nine winters, creating a masterful visual document of life on the loneliest continent. • “Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia,” March 17: There really was no one like the funny, insightful, wellconnected social commentator, the late Gore Vidal, as this portrait by Nicholas Wrathall firmly convinces viewers. • “Maindentrip,” March 24: An examination of the Netherlands teenager Laura Dekker, and her determination to sail solo around the world.

Rock Docs

• “Muscle Shoals,” Jan. 29: The well-made story of a recording studio in a small Alabama town that drew Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin and many more, and earned an international reputation in the process. • “The Porchlight Sessions,” Feb. 5: It’s not yet in release — in fact, it’s still being edited — so Aspenites will get a preview look at the story of how bluegrass music emerged out of Appalachia, and its continuing expansion. Among the featured musicians are old-schoolers Peter Rowan and Del McCoury, and rising stars Chris Thile, Mumford & Sons and Trampled by Turtles. • “Good Ol’ Freda,” Feb. 19: A profile of the fifth (or sixth or seventh or whatever) Beatle, Freda Kelly, a shy Liverpudlian who worked as secretary for the band through the entire existence of the Beatles.

Hi. My name is Bo. I am a large 90 pound 6 year old Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Mix looking for a new home. My boy has had me since I was a pup but can no longer keep me. He has kids now so threatened to ‘put me to sleep’ if I do not find a good home, not sure what that means but it does not sound good. I am more of a German Shepherd personality than Lab. I LOVE to go on walks and I know what the word ‘heel’ means (I’m pretty good at it!). I also LOVE to go hiking and I’m really good at playing fetch. I get along with other dogs and am fine with cats. I would prefer to live with no kids under the age of 10, because of my size. I really want a person to love. I am current on all my vaccinations, neutered and micro chipped. If you are interested in me, please fill out an application on www.luckydayrescue.org or call Rachel on 970-618-3662.

BOOK REVIEW

‘ALIENS IN THE PRIME OF THEIR LIVES’ IN “ALIENS IN THE PRIME OF THEIR LIVES,” a compendium of short stories, author Brad Watson expertly navigates through the mundane, suburban and domestic trivialities of day to day life to unearth deeper, more insidious issues we face as humans. Murder, divorce, or simply crippling insecurities are explored through a looking glass of such crystalline accuracy that for brief moments you feel transported into the lives of Watson’s subjects. A decidedly sad series of stories, Watson takes a life and breaks it down to reveal what we each, whether chronically or occasionally, experience ourselves. The prose is beautifully simplistic. Vivid, narratively captivating with

and full of promises, crashed down around them. The stories are fraught with what was, what might have been, and every soured expectation. While this made for a somber read, and certainly is enough to cloud an optimistic disposition, I still enjoyed my journey through Brad Watson’s pieces. I recommend this book to any lover of literature and I thoroughly believe that Watson’s talent is one to keep tabs on.

NOTEWORTHY

rich heartbreaking detail, Watson’s writing is the work of a carefully intuitive mind. He is something more than an observer and his short stories very often touch genuine truth. As all great writing should do, this series evokes a certain empathy for each of his characters and reminds us all that there is much more occurring underneath the surface with any one person than might be evident. As I progressed through the book it was difficult, however, not to be affected by the deep sadness portrayed by each unfolding vignette. When read consecutively, I felt a sense of futility as each character beat against the confines of their lives to no avail. Life, once so captivating
