THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

FILM THE 5POINT FILM Festival is moving upvalley for one night this weekend, bringing a stellar lineup of inspirational adventure films and special guests to Aspen’s Wheeler Opera House on Saturday, Jan. 21.

The annual Aspen event will showcase 10 short films, including the world premiere of Brody Levan and Joey Schusler’s “Pedals to Peaks Norway.”

“The program will take the audience all over the world with stories of triumph and pain, elation and wonder in some of the most beautiful places on Earth and leave you on the edge of your seat and compelled to get out and live your best story,” says 5Point executive director Meaghan Lynch.

The event will raise funds for the nonprofit, which is hosting its flagship festival in Carbondale on April 20 to 23, and will launch this year’s Dream Project. The initiative annually awards scholarships to local high schoolers to pursue passion projects that fall in line with the festival’s titular five points (respect, commitment, humility, purpose and balance).

The film program runs from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Wheeler, preceded by a meet-and-greet in the lobby. Tickets are $25, available at the Wheeler box office and www.aspenshowtix.com

The 5Point Film Festival will present an evening of short adventure films and speakers at the Wheeler Opera House on Saturday, Jan. 21.

Introducing the fabulous Kia! I Kia is a hound/American Staffie Mix who is just the sweetest. She is about 9 or 10 and weighs 55 pounds. Her owner died and the family took her to the vet to have her euthanized but the vet and staff could not do it because they saw how great she was She plays well with dogs, but is leery of dominant dogs but who wouldn’t be? She loves to cuddle with both humans and her furry foster siblings. She loves her balls and leash walks are one of her favorite things to do because she has quite a bit of energy for an older dog so who ever adopts her should be fairly active. Kia is up to date on shots, spayed and microchipped.

1949 ASPEN

“MGM STARTS FILMING PICTURE THIS THURSDAY,” announced The Aspen Times on Aug. 18, 1949. “The Aspen area is buzzing with activity this weekend and will continue to hum for at least 15 days while the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cast of 18 principals and supporting crew of cameramen, electricians, carpenters, et al. film the principal parts of ‘The Devil’s Doorway.’ The crew in and near Aspen shooting scenes for this picture numbers 102 persons directly employed by the MGM studio. Besides these, a number of local persons are employed to take care of stock.

Heading the cast is Robert Taylor, who will play the part of the Indian hero who is a veteran of the Civil War. The location for most of the shooting in the Aspen area is on Had Deane’s upper ranch at the junction of East and West Maroon Creeks. This ranch was long known as the Anderson ranch and is one of the beauty spots of the whole area. The ‘Red Stallion in the Rockies’ was partially filmed on this spot. Harold ‘Had’ Deane is furnishing many other things to the movie company besides the location. He has contracted to furnish 100 horses, 45 longhorn steers which are owned by Cleve Gentry of Meeker, 500 white-faced cattle from John Mulford’s ranch at Carbondale, and 500 sheep owned by Clive Mecham of Aspen. Deane is also maintaining a cook house with army field kitchens at the upper ranch and will feed the entire personnel on location the noon meal and the 43 Shoshone Indians their three meals per day. MGM will move to Grand Junction after finishing the Aspen part and will be there approximately 10 days filming the desert scenes of the picture. The public is cordially invited to inspect the progress of the picture and are welcome as long as they use common sense in keeping out of the range of the camera and do not make any noises that might spoil the effect and dialogue.” The photo above (Berko Collection) shows the filming of the movie in the Maroon Creek Valley.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

WEAR IT: ‘HEAD TO HEAD’ PUFFY JACKET TEST IN THIS COLUMN, I pit a popular Mountain Hardwear jacket against a similar “light puffy” coat, the LL Bean Ultralight 850 Down Jacket. The two jackets look alike and are uber-warm for their weight. Each is wearable across multiple activities and through a big range of winter temps.

The difference? Start with a number: $121. That is the savings a wearer of the LL Bean jacket gets — Mountain Hardwear’s Ghost Whisperer retails at $320; the Ultralight 850 is $199.

For the extra dollars, you get a few tangible advantages with the Ghost.

But I can recommend both coats.

Here’s a breakdown, head to head outside and in the cold.

OVERVIEW: MOUNTAIN HARD WEAR GHOST WHISPERER It won a spot on my “gear of the year” list back in 2013. But the updated Ghost Whisperer remains relevant because of a thin, smooth fabric that is an industry standout. The 800-fill down in its baffles keeps you toasty and is treated to resist moisture, called Q.Shield down, when the weather is wet.

OVERVIEW: LL BEAN ULTRALIGHT 850 DOWN JACKET This jacket obtains warmth and versatility via its namesake baffles of airy, 850-fill down. A fabric shell made of Pertex offers moderate wind and weather protection. The insulation (DownTek down) is water resistant to keep the feathers from clumping if wet.

COMFORT & FIT LL Bean touts a “slightly fitted” design, which sounds a bit downbeat but is just noting it’s not an articulated piece.

Neither is the Hardwear puffy. But both fit close and almost tight, which is how you want an insulated piece. But overall the Ghost Whisperer fits better.

It’s a subtle win, though while XC skiing or moving fast in these jackets the LL Bean took second place to the closer cut of the Ghost.

DOWN TYPE Mountain Hardwear uses an 800fill down, while LL Bean goes with an 850-fill. The higher the number,

$199 www.llbean.com

$320 www.mountainhardwear.com

the more light and airy. However, in use they feel the same. Because of Mountain Hardwear’s more supple fabric, its insulation, though rated lower, actually feels airier.

FACE FABRIC The buttery nylon used on the Ghost Whisperer — a 7D x 10D rip-stop — is super light yet strong and water-resistant. It’s among my favorite fabrics available on any jacket. Though not as emblematic, LL Bean made a good choice with its tight-weave Pertex fabric shell. I’ve long been a fan of Pertex nylon for its performance, strength and relative light weight.

PACKABILITY Each one stuffs into itself, folding and packing into a pocket then zipping tight. The result is a small pod you can clip to a carabiner or throw into a pack.

But LL Bean, with its thicker fabric and extra pockets, did not pack up as small as the mango-size stowed Mountain Hardwear.

WEIGHT On the scale, in size large, the Ghost Whisperer hit 7.5 ounces, and the Ultralight 850 Down Jacket ticked to 11.2 ounces. These are both respectably light, and unless you’re a weight weenie and looking at every gram a couple ounces on a winter coat is not a big deal.

Janu ar y 19 - Janu ar y 25 , 20 17

WARMTH The LL Bean jacket is touted to be wearable across a massive temp range (from 25 degrees down to minus-25 F). That is, if you’re standing still with just minimal clothing underneath, the jacket should be fine for near-freezing temps. Whereas, if you’re skiing or running, breaking a sweat, the jacket and a layer or two underneath can be wearable to below 0. Mountain Hardwear doesn’t give a temp spectrum, though I’d offer around the same usability range. It was wearable on warmer (near freezing) days and then down to 0 degrees and below in my test.

Overall, neither jacket was significantly warmer. But both were exceptional compared to much of the competition. Indeed, warmth combined with light weight is the magic combination with the Ghost and the Bean (and some similar jackets), and it’s among to top reasons you should look to buy.

WEATHER RESISTANCE Sleet, rain, and snow were present during my review at various points. In general, the jackets here deflected the frozen stuff with no issue. Once above freezing, rain and

sleet can soak in; you should have a shell jacket available especially in the backcountry as the top line of defense. However, even when the outer fabric felt wet it took a long time for moisture to seep through.

FEATURES These jackets have no hoods, which I prefer in most scenarios (but chose to review these hood-less). In fact, there are few features on either of these models. The Ghost simply has two hand pockets and a main zip-up.

The cuffs stretch to comfortably fit your wrists, and that’s about it. LL Bean adds a headphone port and an inside pocket as well as one on the chest. The extra zippers and pockets add some weight but also add convenience to stash items while on the go.

CONCLUSIONS Both are solid jackets. Buy the Mountain Hardwear if you put a premium on light weight and want the primo feel of the extra-thin, buttery face fabric. For most people, the LL Bean is a great choice that leaves some money in the bank.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

L.A. back in the day: Hollywood in 1915. This is a photo of the Hollywood Hotel on Hollywood Blvd. Things have certainly changed since 100 years ago.

LOS ANGELES: A LOVE HATE STORY WE WERE NEAR La La Land, on the edge of reality, when the drugs should’ve taken hold. However, we were responsible drivers who took our time on the freeway rather seriously.

Our road trip started in Aspen and led us 901 miles southwest. It wasn’t a huge feat in the world of driving, but Matt and I felt pretty accomplished.

BARBARA PLATTS Particularly because our 2-year-old pup Cassius was with us. He snuggled up in the back, ready for whatever crazy adventure his parents bestowed on him next. That next stop was our main destination on the road trip: Los Angeles. We were headed there to see a good friend who was in the hospital.

I’ve never understood the allure that the City of Angels brings to so many. Sure, it’s sunny the majority of the time, it’s full of beautiful people and it’s close to the ocean. But living in, or even visiting, this thriving metropolis is a lot of work. The city’s traffic makes the congestion coming into Aspen each morning look like child’s play. The local and federal government is making strides to fix this problem. A subway line from

Santa Monica to Downtown was recently finished, and more lines are coming in the next decade.

However, L.A., from the start, has been a driving city. Even with these new public transportation options, vehicular congestion is not going away anytime soon.

Some of my other qualms with L.A. relate to the people. Almost everyone is competing in the same rat race. They want to be found, to be famous, to be recognized.

In Aspen, I’ve learned that the biggest social currency is one’s experiences. People love to share about their latest adventure or biggest physical feat. In L.A., it’s much more about status. People want to know what you do and who you know. Because of this, interactions often feel very shallow.

Perhaps my slight disdain for Los Angeles comes from my close encounters with it during and after school. I attended Emerson College in Boston. A large percentage of the graduates from Emerson end up in L.A. Even though I was never interested in film, I figured I’d live in the city after school because there are so many connections via fellow alumni. None of us Emersonians are too proud to call upon nepotism if and when we need it. But, after a series of unfortunate events, it became clear

to me that the City of Angels was not the place I wanted to be.

In a rather drastic pivot, I headed to Aspen after graduation, and I have resided in the mountain town ever since. I don’t regret moving to Aspen and forgoing the L.A. experience. However, when I go to the city, my mind does fill with “what ifs.” I see a different version of myself (probably one with blonde highlights and a fake tan) driving on the 101 to work each day, living a life far from the beauty and peace of the Roaring Fork Valley. I suppose we all have those musings from time to time, thinking about the routes we could’ve taken in life but didn’t.

Especially living in Aspen, we all have a story about a place we came from or some kind of life we gave up so we could reside in paradise.

Most people who live in L.A. realize it’s not paradise. For those in the entertainment industry, La La Land is a means to an end.

They tolerate it because they have to. However, for the sake of this travelogue, I shouldn’t spend all my time complaining. This city does have some redeeming qualities that are important to mention. Most importantly, the restaurant scene is incredible. It’s easy to get anything and everything. If you want barbecue, try Baby Blues. German

style cuisine? Go for the Red Lion Tavern. Maybe you are looking for Asian food? My favorite currently is Urban Ramen in Hollywood.

Perhaps the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating (and, trust me, I’ve consumed many a breakfast burrito) is at JJ Sandwich shop in the Downtown.

Across the street is Cole’s, L.A.’s oldest bar that claims responsibility for inventing the French dip sandwich. Within a short time, I was able to experience those restaurants and many more. If you like to wine and dine as much as I do, L.A. is sure to impress.

There, I came up with something nice to say.

We’ve now been in this city nearly a week. Our minds (the puppy’s included) are starting to veer toward the open road and the large amounts of powder accumulating in the mountains.

Our adventure is not yet over, but luckily our stint in La La Land is coming to a close.

More coming at you next week, from somewhere else.

Barbara Platts appreciates her readers going along with her on this adventure. She will return to Aspen soon. Reach her at bplatts.000@ gmail.com or tweet her about your adventures @BarbaraPlatts.

WINEINK

EPICUREAN TAMPA WINE, STEAK AND REFUGE

WHEN YOU THINK of a wine destination, places like Burgundy or the Barossa Valley come to mind. But for the wine cognoscenti, there is a place in Central Florida that is a must-visit on the wine road.

“What?” you ask.

“Florida? Does Disney have a virtual vineyard?

Is Universal Studios launching a ‘Be the blend!’ interactive experience?” Hardly.

KELLY J. No, for those who HAYES know wine, the place to go is Bern’s Steak House, not far from the Bay in Tampa, yes, Florida.

Bern’s houses what is touted as one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive wine cellars on Earth. They claim to offer 6,500 different wines and they cellar and store a collection that ranges from 500,000 to 600,000 bottles. Each is listed in a book bigger than the original Gutenberg Bible (dinner guests receive a smaller, edited version), and is stored in one of four temperature-controlled warehouses.

In 2016, the James Beard Awards honored Bern’s Steak House as having America’s most “Outstanding Wine Program.” It is an honor that they last received in 1992.

THE EPICUREAN HOTEL But the best news for gourmands and wine lovers is that one can dine and imbibe at Bern’s, pairing the world’s best wines with epic steaks, and then simply walk across South Howard street to the Epicurean Hotel and sleep it off in comfort.

That’s right, steps away from the iconic steakhouse is a oneof-a-kind, contemporary hotel, designed with the same culinary ethos as Bern’s to meet the travel needs of the culinary voyager. The Epicurean, which opened in 2013, is a collaboration between the Laxner family, which owns Bern’s, and a high-end Florida hotel developer, Mainsail Lodging and Development. It operates under the Autograph Collection brand of Marriott and is totally committed to creating a space devoted to the pleasures of food and wine.

10

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

F

”We have 137 rooms and six culinary or wine outlets onproperty,” said the Epicurean’s general manager, Tom Haines, when talking about the layout of the hotel. “Every hotel has food and beverage, but nobody that we know of has built a hotel around the food and beverage program.”

THE EXPERIENCE Indeed, when you first walk into the Epicurean you know you are in a different kind of hotel. The check-in desk sits atop wine racks filled with fine wines. The walls of the reception area are covered with the side panels of wine crates from the world’s most esteemed wine chateaus and estates. Instead of a lobby store selling assorted sundries, there is a world-class wine shop, Bern’s Fine Wine and Spirits, that is worth an hour of any wine lover’s time.

As you walk to the elevators, you pass an open Kitchen Theatre, where top chefs offer cooking demonstrations and classes.

Once in your room, there are five half-bottle varietals, ranging from Rombauer Chardonnay to Justin Cabernet, for your sipping pleasure. Schedule a massage in the Spa Evangeline, and your wine-themed rub down will be administered in a room soundproofed by 20,000 corks from wines that once enchanted Bern’s customers.

There is a restaurant, Élevage, under the auspices of chef Chad Johnson, a Beard-nominated chef who has a decade and a half of experience with Bern’s and their other local eatery, Haven. Chad is considered the culinary visionary who has overseen the creative development of the property. A rooftop bar, Edge, with a view of Tampa, and French patisserie, Chocolate Pi, round out the rides … er … culinary outlets.

“When we first started to concept this property, we thought a lot about our regular local guests,” Johnson said. “We wanted to create a space where locals could come and get a quality experience and still feel comfortable in blue jeans.

If we made them comfortable, we

Janu ar y 19 - Janu ar y 25 , 20 17

Bern’s Fine Wines and Spirits is just off the main lobby of the Epicurean.

were sure our hotel guests would also be comfortable.”

“When a hotel opens and builds a restaurant, you find that guests come in and ask ‘what’s the great local’s spot?’ and the hotel restaraunt sits empty,” echoed Haines. “We wanted to build a great locals spot that hotel guests would want to stay and eat in.”

While a boutique property, the connection with Marriot has established an upscale business clientele. But both Johnson and Haines are most pleased with the eclectic profile of the guests.

“If you are in the trade or significantly involved in food and wine, this is where you stay,”

Haines said. “We also get a significant number of weddings and guests who come for our ‘STEAKcation’ packages that include a reservation at Bern’s.” A tough ticket.

Leave Disney World to the kids. If you are planning a sojourn to Florida, the Epicurean is the wine lovers choice.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2013 LEWIS CELLARS CABERNET SAUVIGNON, NAPA VALLEY, USA So while I have had other vintages of this wine, I may never find a bottle of the 2013. It was named Wine Spectator’s 2016 Wine of the Year in December and that means those who collect will be hunting down the 1,600 cases that were produced.

But more importantly, I want to say that it was a fitting finale for Debbie Lewis of Lewis Cellars, who passed away just a few weeks following the accolade after a yearlong fight with cancer. She and her husband, Randy, have had a major influence on the world of Napa Cabernet culminating in this honor. But beyond that, Debbie and Randy have been great ambassadors for wine and wonderful people to be around at wine events throughout the country. My thoughts are with you, Randy.

MAIDEN VOYAGE TO TREE HOUSE WHAT DRIVES AN EPICUREAN ODYSSEY?

ALL I KNEW, really, when my buddy Jerrid picked me up at 9 a.m. sharp on Thursday, was that we were headed to a remote town in Central Massachusetts. Sometime after noon, he said, Tree House Brewing Company would unveil a super-exclusive, limited-edition, smallbatch, craft beer that he assured me was, “some of the best beer in the world.”

AMANDA RAE Why picking up a few cans and growler fills would take all day — the town of Monson, about the size of Aspen, sits just 60 miles east from our hometown on the Mass Pike, after all — I wasn’t quite sure. Still, he asked me for verbal confirmation that I understood I might not be home until 6 p.m., and I gave it to him.

“Usually they open at two o’clock,” he explained,” but they’ve been opening at 12:30 p.m. lately because there are so many people, the parking lots fill up, traffic get congested, the town doesn’t appreciate that.”

Like, how many people are we talking about?

“Last Thursday I got there at 9:30 a.m., and there were already 100 people in line,” he replied. “They opened up when two of the parking lots were filled. They had 1,000 cases to sell; times 24 beers per case at 12 cans per person is 2,000 people, sold in four hours.”

Wowza. This was a lot to process.

But Jerrid had promised postscript barbecue from BT’s Smokehouse — a BYOB joint down the road from Tree House — and record shopping in Northampton, so I didn’t question him further. He’d even borrowed an SUV for the occasion, as a ‘Noreaster was sweeping across New England to create a potential weather emergency. Excitement was building — though I wasn’t quite sure what I was supposed to be excited about.

One of my closest friends since high-school and now beer guru at a high-end spirits boutique, Jerrid didn’t need to tell me much more than it would be worth it. He’s the careful, calculated yin to my impulsive, impetuous yang — not

F

the kind of guy who makes brash decisions or embarks on epic road trips without promise of major payoff.

“I was kind of anti-Tree House for a while,” Jerrid admitted, as our SUV crawled along the highway in a whiteout. “I was going to breweries, up to The Alchemist [in Stowe, Vt.] for Heady Topper, and doing the whole wait-in-line-for-beer thing — here was too much hype...One day a can fell into my lap and it completely blew my mind.”

He decided to check it out on a day off, expecting to wait for hours to get inside.

Strangely, though, the parking lot was nearly empty when he arrived.

The Tree House website has just announced the day’s featured beer as Juice Machine — which, despite having been brewed only once before at this time, was one of the brewery’s most sought-after beers already.

“My first Tree House experience is showing up with zero wait, getting six cans of the best beer they make AND two cans of Julius AND three cans of Bright AND three growler fills, in and out in five minutes,” he marveled. “I’ve been back every Thursday since and that’s never been the case. I always wait in line at least an hour and a half.”

I gulped, while visions of brisket danced in my head. Nick, a highschool social studies teacher grading papers silently in the backseat this entire time, sighed dramatically.

Hopefully I’d bring some beginner’s luck to our crew.

“Will travel for food,” as the saying goes. But what makes a person so obsessed it (or beer) that he will stand in line outside for hours, in a snowstorm, just to get a taste?

“Beer is always changing,” Jerrid says, and the next best brewery is out there waiting to be found. “When you’re in line three hours early and they haven’t announced what they’re releasing that day, the anticipation of a super-limited release and talking with others beer heads is a lot of fun.”

Perhaps, if you don’t have a Rocky Mountain playground nearby.

Colorado is the hub of the craft beer movement, though, and there are plenty of bearded, burly beer snobs who wait in long lines to sample special releases — see Crooked

Beer geeks travel from all over New England to Tree House Brewing Company in Monson, Mass., to nab limited cans of brew regularly rated 100 by Beer Advocate, such as Green American IPA.

Stave in Denver and Broken Compass Brewing in Breckenridge, among others.

Maybe it’s the ritual of a food adventure — the journey, the anticipation, the struggle, the sweet success at the end of it all — that makes the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow so magically delicious.

And often you don’t know…until you know.

Take Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro, the ultimate destination on a Champagne odyssey. Mid-mountain at Aspen Highlands, the ski-in-only chalet has a cult-like following for its raucous afternoon dance parties, making it one of the most coveted reservations in winter.

I repeated all of this last weekend when I ran into a college pal from New York, here on a well-timed ski trip with other ’Cuse alumnae. They asked me where to ski on Saturday, and I didn’t skip a beat. Hike the Highland Bowl — challenging with the altitude but worth it, I said — followed by pre-après-ski Champagne party at Cloud Nine: legendary.

Early Saturday morning I received a text: The girls were skipping skiing for brunch and shopping instead. “We might want to just go walk into Cloud 9 if we can take the gondola right up there at 3,” she wrote.

Immediately I felt as if I’d failed as a friend/impromptu vacation consultant. Yes, I’d mentioned that two chairlifts were required to visit the incomparable party oasis with the confirmed largest Veuve Clicquot account in North America — but even the words “raining Champagne from the rafters” couldn’t convey the debauchery that would ensue.

Even I had forgotten, temporarily, that Cloud Nine at 3 p.m. morphs into a dark, steamy, ski-boot-stomping, shirt-round-yo-head-like-a-helicopter bacchanal. I popped in on Saturday anyway, to say hi to a soul sister with a table rez, and was drenched in Veuve within seconds. Spilling out onto the frigid slope later, I didn’t care that I was sopping wet and still kind of sober. That was worth it.

Back at the smokehouse after the Tree House excursion — which, by the way, only lasted two hours: Nos. 70, 71, and 72 in line, beginner’s luck! — we cracked open iridescent purple cans of Tree House Haze Double IPA and made a toast to a successful mission. Happy, hoppy, tropical-fruit nectar refreshment. I was converted.

You just don’t know…until you know.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

WOODY CREEK HOT TODDY ‘Tis the season — for the crud. Walk down the streets of Aspen, stroll the hallways of the local schools or just look around your office, and the signs are obvious: tissues crumpled up in waste baskets, hacking coughs in every corner, general malaise. And

MAKE IT

while I am no doctor, and I do know things like extra rest, plenty of fluids, vitamins and such will help ease cold-like symptoms, I am

2 ounces WCD rye whiskey 3/4 ounce meyer lemon simple syrup 1/2 ounce ginger syrup 1/4 ounce honey Hot water Garnish with lemon wheel and cinammon stick

also a fan of the hot toddy. Just one, at the end of the day, seems to make me feel — and sleep — a bit better (but maybe that’s the booze doing its thing?). That said, one of my favorite recipes comes from Woody Creek Distillers; the combo of whiskey, lemon simple sugar, ginger syrup and honey make it feel like something my grandmother would have have made. And I do believe a bit of happy nostalgia has its healing powers.

For most of Aspen’s modern history, Jon Busch has been the town’s guide to cinema. For the past 45 years, he’s aimed to enrich local film culture with screenings of art-house movies, foreign titles, classics and the small independents that wouldn’t normally make it to screens outside of metropolitan areas.

IN THE 1970s, Busch regularly drew 100 or more Aspenites to the Wheeler Opera House for retrospective series that showcased directors like John Huston or Federico Fellini or the films of the Marx Brothers.

His local experience earned him gigs on the staff at the Hawaii International Film Festival, where he’s been technical director for 28 years,

and the vaunted Telluride Film Festival.

On a recent Saturday night, Busch was perched behind a card table at the back entrance of the Pitkin County Library, selling tickets and scooping popcorn for the six local cinephiles who came out for his screening of the Meryl Streep dramedy “Florence Foster Jenkins.”

As the lights dimmed after Busch’s introduction, a patron at the back of the theater whispered joyfully, “This is like old Aspen, it’s so low-key and quiet.” The largest audience to come out for an entry in his new Library Cinema series — running since November — totaled 14 people.

Aspen has changed and cinema culture everywhere has certainly changed, but Jon Busch is still a believer.

“Aspen was always special to me — that’s why I moved here and I stay here, because it’s so special,” Busch, 75, told me recently over lunch at Justice Snow’s. “My mission has always been to expand and contribute to the cultural diversity of Aspen, and to what makes Aspen unique among ski resorts. I’ve always felt an art film program is something that fits.”

Busch’s contributions to Aspen culture go far beyond film. He helped found Aspen Gay Ski Week in 1977, the same year that he pushed the Aspen City Council to pass a groundbreaking gay rights ordinance that forbade discrimination based on sexual orientation. As a carpenter, he built the KSPN studio in the basement of the Hotel Jerome and was among the original voices heard on Aspen’s first FM radio station. A lover of organ music, he brought the Aspen Community Church’s massive pipe organ — the second largest on the Western Slope — to town in 1999 and still programs recitals there. (Another kind of pipe dream, the Aspen trolley system Busch championed, never gained city support).

His new cinematic venture hasn’t caught on yet with the masses. But Busch believes that Aspen remains the unique kind of ski town that will come out and enjoy these kinds of movies together.

Busch first arrived in Aspen in 1964 to study clarinet at the Aspen Music School. He came back for four summers, before taking a post with the Indianapolis Symphony. After a dispute over the orchestra dress code — he wore mutton-chop sideburns and a mane of brown hair in the “Age of Aquarius” fashion — he quit and came back to Aspen full time.

He’d worked as a film projectionist in movie theaters since he was in the eighth grade in Portland, Oregon, and had used the skill to support himself through college, when he manned the reels at a grindhouse showing double- and triple-features of horror and scifi. Along with other odd jobs, he supported himself as a projectionist here in Aspen, too.

Busch took over the Wheeler’s film program from Don Swales in 1972. Back then — in the days before HBO and VHS, and when cinema was still the center of the pop culture conversation — he could fill the house nightly for screenings of classics and new art house films. Home entertainment options — first cable television and home video, then on-demand streaming — has steadily whittled away at his audiences, while expanded Aspen Film programming has provided competition. But until the last few years, his film series was still a prominent part of the Wheeler’s schedule. (His “Farewell to Film” program in 2014, screening the last celluloid films before the theater went digital, filled the house.)

As his audiences shrunk, the Wheeler offered Busch fewer and fewer dates. For the winter of 2016-17, the historic city-owned theater offered him just two days in November for movies. But then the Pitkin County Library — with its newly renovated building and its spiffy new Dunaway Meeting Room — came to the rescue, volunteering to be Busch’s new cinematic home. (The library also bought him that new popcorn machine.)

Busch launched the series in November with promising titles like the Ron Howard-directed rock

Theatre in Carbondale, which regularly picks up arthouse and avant-garde titles.

Busch’s films now screen in a library conference room with patrons in office chairs — a less than ideal theatrical experience. But it’s impossible not to be charmed by the bespoke, personal touches Busch has added to the series. In throwback fashion, he selects a cartoon to precede each feature, matched thematically to the film (before “Florence Foster Jenkins,” the story of “the world’s worst opera singer,” he played the Looney Tunes classic “What’s Opera, Doc?”).

The film series will run until at least early March.

When daylight savings time switches, he’s taking a hiatus (the Dunaway Room doesn’t have blackout curtains for its windows, or at least it doesn’t yet).

Upcoming movies include the new Holocaust courtroom drama “Denial,” the 1940 Howard Hawks classic “His Girl Friday” and the cyber warfare documentary “Zero Days.” Busch is proud to give these movies a place to show in Aspen and he doesn’t expect his Library Cinema series to become the phenomenon in town that his Wheeler shows may have been 40 years ago.

“The time was different — Netflix wasn’t around.

People didn’t have big, flat-screen TVs in their homes,” he says. “Also, I think the film audience was a bit more sophisticated, they knew Howard Hawks and they knew a lot about what made something like ‘His Girl Friday’ special.” atravers@aspentimes.com

“I hoped to regain the audience that I used to have at the Wheeler,” he says. “I do have regular followers that come to everything that I show, but you can almost count them on one hand.”

Perhaps local film buffs are getting their fill from Aspen Film, which now hosts a monthly indie showcase at the Isis, or the one-screen Crystal

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

MAY SELBY

FROM THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT on New Year’s Day through the first half of the month, it’s been a winter-kissed 2017.

Aspen Snowmass’ latest snow reports indicate more than six feet has fallen on the slopes so far this month alone.

To fan the snow stoke, the newest Warren Miller movie, “Here, There & Everywhere,” sold out its Aspen premiere on Jan. 7 at The Wheeler Opera House with the original ski filmmaker himself

in the flick for the first time in a dozen years. Paying tribute to to Miller’s travels as a ski bum back in the day, one thread in the film remembers and reenacts him chasing winter around the U.S., living in a teardrop trailer and skiing to his heart’s delight.

Over Winterskol weekend, another pop-up shop took shape in the Boogie’s Building. BLK MKT owners Mike Delaney and Sammy Steen opened up the

retail and lounge scene in partnership with Gravity Productions, which is open through Presidents’ Day weekend.

Still, she’s a bit taken aback when her father, Carl, asks her to help his old flame, Ceci Renard, who is worried about her daughter, Chloe.

In the past year, Chloe has become

so involved with the evangelical Covenant Rising Church that she is willing to sign over a large part of her inheritance. Fina is as suspicious as Ceci when she meets the pastor, Greg Gatchell and his wife, Gabby, who use contributions to the church to finance their luxurious lifestyle.

While dealing with her investigation, Fina also focuses on the return of her brother, Rand, who sexually abused his teenage daughter, Haley. Fina focuses on Haley’s needs, but her parents are more concerned about keeping this family scandal quiet. The chasm between Fina and her mother, Elaine, widens further as Elaine refuses to believe that her favorite son is a pedophile.

Thoft gracefully delivers an actionpacked plot loaded with realistic dialogue and believable characters in “Duplicity.” While it’s clear the

‘Duplicity’ Ingrid Thoft G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2016 448 pages, hardcover

Gatchells are untrustworthy, Thoft still weaves in several well-devised twists. A hallmark of this series is Thoft illustrating the complexity of family relationships. Fina loves her family, and at heart, they are close.

But Fina also is aware that she often is considered the outsider, being the only surviving daughter and non-lawyer. Fina’s insistence on her independence while keeping close contact with her family adds to her complicated personality.

“Duplicity” again shows that in the right hands, such as Thoft’s, the private detective novel has no limits.
