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

POPULAR MUSIC THE MOST DIFFICULT trick at the Winter X Games might not be in the superpipe or on the Big Air jumps — or even at Buttermilk, site of the competitions.

This year introduces Winter X Music, an early-evening concert series in Wagner Park on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 2526. X Games has featured music in the past, but the names are bigger than ever this year — French rockers Phoenix, superstar DJ Tiësto, indierock duo Matt & Kim — and for the first time the concerts aren’t free; tickets are required.

Things could get chaotic. Oddly, the less frenzied option might be at Belly Up, where Phoenix plays Friday and Tiësto spins on Saturday.

DJ Tiësto performs two shows on Sunday, Jan. 26 — in Wagner Park and at Belly Up.

CURRENTEVENTS FILM SARAH POLLEY has earned acclaim in TV and cinema, as an actress and director, and her one Academy Award nomination was for her screenwriting.

Her range has been enormous: as a director, she has told stories of young adults (“Take This Waltz”) and people in their final Sarah and Michael Polley appear in the documentary “Stories We Tell,” chapters (the Oscar-nominated “Away directed by Sarah and showing from Her”); she has done comedy and Monday, Jan. 28 at the Wheeler Opera House in the Monday Docs heavy drama. And now she shines as series. a documentarian. “Stories We Tell” is a revealing, complex portrait of her own family, a group of artistic, unsettled Canadians. Polley takes on the role of a detective, investigating the truth of her past. But her role as a central character in the mystery adds a thick layer of emotional suspense. It’s tragic the film didn’t earn Polley her second Oscar nomination. “Stories We Tell” shows Monday, Jan. 27 at the Wheeler Opera House, kicking off the Monday Docs series.

WRITTEN WORD RICHARD BLANCO is in many ways an outsider — an immigrant from Spain, gay, Cuban by ethnicity, a poet. His poem “One Today,” though, was a celebration of America as a place of unity, where people of every sort share prayers, routines, language and land. The ideas behind “One Today” were given the ultimate validation last year, when Blanco read his poem at Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration. After the reading, he reportedly turned to his mother and said, “I think we’re finally American.” Blanco will draw on material from “For all of Us, One Today,” a poetic memoir of his Inaugural Poet experience, on Tuesday, Jan. 28 at Paepcke Auditorium, when he opens the Aspen Writers’ Foundation’s Winter Words series.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

A quiz: How is MLK Day kind of like Christmas?

AS I WRITE THIS it is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 20, 2014 although it’s not actually the late, great man’s birthday.

That fell on Jan. 15, five days prior to the “national holiday,” but the labor unions and the U.S. Congress thought they had a better idea by proclaiming the third Monday of January as the day to celebrate King’s awe-inspiring presence in the American pantheon of stars.

Actually, Congress only came around after Stevie Wonder got into the act.

The vision-challenged musician issued a single (“Happy Birthday”) in 1980 to commemorate a movement to get King’s day of birth named as a national holiday.

Then he hosted a “Rally For Peace” press conference in 1981, and mounted

HIT&RUN

a petition drive that gathered 6 million signatures in favor of the holiday proposal, which The Nation news magazine in 2006 called “the largest petition in favor of an issue in U.S. history.”

That did it.

Still, it wasn’t until 1983 that thenPresident Ronald Reagan signed a bill into law creating the holiday in King’s name, and it was not observed until Jan. 20, 1986. The holiday was not celebrated nationwide, in all 50 states, until 2000, according to Wikipedia, thanks to reluctance by some states to go along. I’ll let you guess which states those were.

Anyways, so it goes. We celebrate the birthday of MLK on a day that actually was created to give a three-day holiday for federal workers and others.

It’s kind of like Christmas in that way, since Jesus Christ’s birthday is widely accepted to have fallen on another day entirely than Dec. 25.

A 2008 article in the Daily Mail Reporter (dailymail.co.uk) held that Jesus really was born on June

with JOHN COLSON

17, according to a scientist who tracked the movements of the Star Of Bethlehem (a.k.a. the Christmas star in nonreligious circles).

Australian stargazer Dave Reneke, according to the story, discovered through his research that 2,000 years ago there really was a preternaturally bright celestial body in the night skies, but that its appearance over Bethlehem more likely took place in the middle of the year.

Scientists, according to the report, have long held that the Star of Bethlehem probably came about as a conjunction of two planets — Venue and Jupiter — which managed to get close enough together to appear to be one mighty bright star.

And since “generally accepted research” has placed Jesus’ birth as coming some time between the year 3 B.C. and the year 1 A.D., the article states, Reneke drilled down into St. Mathew’s Gospel and concluded that the heavenly confluence took place on June 17 in the year 2 B.C. He also surmised that the three wise men of lore, spying the bright star, decided it was the sign they’d been waiting for to signal the birth of the Messiah, and followed it to Bethlehem and the much-debated manger.

And that, as they say, was that.

Of course, all of the above presupposes that one believes that Jesus was the only son of God, the savior of humanity and the Prince of Peace on Earth, rather than following the belief of agnostics and others who say he was just a fair carpenter with the gift of gab.

Such debates, as we all know, are better left to those who want to argue the point, a number that does not include me, at least not today.

Nope, today I’m quietly celebrating the birth of another man who might have been a savior of some sort, if he hadn’t been gunned down on a hotel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968.

And to top it all off, it is appropriate enough that today, MLK Day 2014, is the day of my deliverance from a certain, not to be named set of circumstances that has been anything but peaceful or inspiring, and I am now able to say in my own right, “Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, (I’m) free at last.”

Of course, I’m now headed for the unemployment line, but that’s not a subject for today’s conversation. jbcolson51@gmail.com

Crisscrossed telephone and electric wires blighted Aspen’s downtown streets until they were moved to alleyways.

WIRES AND POLES WE TAKE FOR GRANTED the unobstructed views of the mountains and sky from Aspen’s streets. For most of Aspen’s history, countless telephone poles and wires obstructed those views. Even the streets, originally laid out to be broad and expansive, were confined by seemingly random pole placements.

Aspen was an early pioneer in electric power, and that required the placement of wooden poles, with wires and streetlights stretching between them, up and down the streets. Western Union telegraph service and the advent of telephone service added to the array.

The addition of an elaborate fire alarm system added 32 poles and resulted in a jumble of line infrastructure.

A city official oversaw poles and lines and the city granted right of way and contracted for the erection of poles.

Those undertakings created a constant topic for approval and maintenance at council meetings for years.

You could gauge the extent of poles and wires by the growth of the Colorado Telephone Company that serviced Aspen. The first copper wire phone connection of any significance stretched between New York and Chicago in 1883. Five years later, Aspen’s phone service began, connecting long-distance to Leadville and Denver by 1895 and on to New Mexico by 1899. That year phone company records showed 6,500

The Hyman Avenue photo illustrates many layers of downtown wires. Also note that the poles were simple stripped trees, with larger diameters at the bottom than at the top, and not all of them straight.

In many cases, a single pole could not accommodate added lines; system additions required additional poles.

When telephone, telegraph, fire alarm and/or electric wires were attached to the same pole, it became difficult for linemen to distinguish which type they

Janu ar y 23 - Janu ar y 29 , 20 14

Wheeler set off fire alarm box explosions throughout the system. Two workers went to address the problem. The first was working on a firebox wire when the second worker, who was repairing another wire, touched him; a nearly fatal shock jolted them both. Somehow, a section of bailing wire had become stranded between two wires, causing the system-wide breakdown.

Lines were susceptible to storms in ways more dangerous and problematic than today; they commonly stretched

to the breaking point. In April of 1889, an overnight, 2-foot, snow dump dismantled many Aspen connections, dragging down wires and toppling poles.

Nearly every year some city in Colorado reported a similar catastrophe. Today, we gripe about a few hours without service; our ancestors would have laughed at such impatience.

Over the years, pole installations intruded into the streets and obstructed traffic. Fortunately, Aspen’s broad streets accommodated the obstacles.

Even so, despite the slow speed of horse and buggy travel, wagons occasionally collided with poles. Most such collisions occurred when driverless, spooked horses dragged their loads around a corner pole at full speed.

As automobiles came to dominate the streets, Aspen eased its hazardous entanglement of pole and wire toward its back alleyways; eventually the obtrusive elements were buried alive.

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.

JOHN COLSON described the emerging sport of snowboarding in the Feb. 20, 1986, edition of The Aspen Times, writing “Hanging ten the hard way, above a steep slope of gritty ice, snowboarders from around the area went over a small jump (above) at an exhibition Sunday at Buttermilk Mountain. Standing in a surfer’s stance, (as opposed to a mono-ski, on which the feet are locked in a traditional parallel position) the ’boarders bend and lean from the knee to turn one way or another. There is also a unique event known as the ‘half-pipe’, which takes place in a 30-foot-wide trough of snow that stretches for a hundred yards or so. In the half-pipe, ’boarders swing from side to side and up onto the walls of the trough, similar to skateboarding exhibitions.”

WINTER WARMER: HELLY HANSEN ENIGMA JACKET THE DILEMMA: The snow’s great, and you’re planning on hitting the hill as often as you can — if only you didn’t get so cold out there on the slopes.

THE FIX:

Helly Hansen’s women’s Enigma Jacket

WHY IT WORKS: Despite its name, there’s no mystery to this jacket’s effectiveness. Synthetic, quickdrying PrimaLoft through the sleeves and front effectively staves off chill, but the best feature is in the back, where a series of separated down “pods” insulates while channeling excess heat away from the body.

This is the warmest jacket I have ever owned, period. I’ve worn it for everything from single-temp days in Colorado to skiing in Alaska, with only a thin base layer underneath, and I’ve never been cold. Yet unlike with other insulated jackets, I don’t feel like I’m wearing a dried-out marshmallow. I’ve also never overheated. But just to be on the safe side, I open the pair of zippered vents below the shoulder blades when I hoist my skis for short hikes to terrain.

WINEINK

THE RIGHT TOOLS “A GLASS IS a glass is a glass.”

So stated my friend recently at a Los Angeles restaurant after I had implored the waiter to please retrieve some appropriate stemware before pouring the Chardonnay that we were about to pay two and half times more than retail for.

“Au contraire, mon ami!” I replied. OK, I really didn’t say that, KELLY J. but I did explain that HAYES we had just purchased a $55 bottle of wine for lunch and the wine-glass-shaped-waterglasses that the waiter had brought, still warm from the dishwasher, were not only an insult to us, they were an insult to the wine. What’s more, you should never — ever — be embarrassed to request glasses that will allow you to enjoy your wine to the fullest.

Like any other endeavor worth doing, when drinking wine you should always have the right tools.

Aside from your eyes, your nose and palate, the most important tool to use is a good wine glass. Oh, I know, good wine glasses can be expensive, they break when not handled correctly, and you may not quite understand why a Burgundy tastes better in a Burgundy glass than it does in a Bordeaux glass anyway.

But, trust me, if you drink your wine, especially your good wines, in glasses with not just the proper shape, but made of good materials, it will add another element to enhance your wine drinking experience. And the alternative, bad wine glasses, de-hance the experience.

So what makes a good wine glass? That can be a very personal question, but to me a good glass begins with how it feels in your hand. Is it balanced? Does it attract your fingers to the stem? Are you compelled to look into it, swirl it and put your nose in it? When you tilt it to your lips, do you look forward to the first sip with anticipation? Answer yes to these questions and you likely have the

16

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

F

right tool for you.

I recently took a look at my stemware and was astounded to discover 57 glasses sitting my glass cabinet. Sure, many have been gifted and I bought others, but I like all of them and would be happy to sip from any. However, there are five in particular that I purchased long over a decade ago that I use nightly for Syrah, Malbec, Zinfandel, in fact just about any of my red wines.

My favorite glasses are heavy Bordeaux-shaped glasses, handblown with lead-free crystal, in the Vermont factory of Simon Pearce. The artisan glass-blowing studio and adjoining restaurant are perched over a river in the tiny village of Quechee and both are magical.

My wife and I bought a pair of seconds, that is to say glasses with imperfections, a few years ago and loved them so much that we made a second trip to Quechee to round out a collection of six, five of which survive today. The glasses are heavy, I’m guessing they weigh close to a pound, and they can hold 16 ounces of wine, a hefty pour indeed. Simon Pearce has designated the glasses as the “Woodstock” glass and says that Pinot, Cabernet, Merlot and Zinfandel thrive in them. I agree.

But what I love most about my Woodstocks is how they sound.

Ah yes, that other sense. When I toast friends and loved ones with the Woodstocks, the sound and vibration of the clinking bulbs resonate both in the air and in the glass for a seeming eternity. The intent and the meaning of the toast lingers long. That’s a good thing.

While the joy a glass brings may be one reason to own it, true geeks…er, connoisseurs, will swear that there are things more important than simple joy. To get the most out of a wine, it is important to drink from a vessel that delivers both the aroma and the liquid to the exact right place in your nose, or on your palate.

Georg Riedel has made the greatest contribution — and the

greatest fortune — by creating a roster of specialized glasses for all of your drinking needs that are the ultimate “tools” for consuming wine. The shape and materials of each of these glasses will improve the experience of drinking anything, from water to tequila, if for no other reason than they will force you to focus on the liquid and the glass.

The cool cons …er, connoisseurs, are currently consuming their precious wines in the glasses made by Zalto. Incredibly thin but still sturdy (it’s all relative), these glasses from Austria have angles that reflect the curves of the earth and are modeled after ancient Roman storage devices.

All this to say that a glass is more than just a glass.

Hand-blown wine glasses, such as those crafted

by Simon Peace (above), or well-designed ones like Austrian Zalto glasses (opposite page), can truly enhance your wine-drinking experience.

“WHEN I TOAST FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES WITH THE WOODSTOCKS, THE SOUND AND VIBRATION OF THE CLINKING BULBS RESONATE BOTH IN THE AIR AND IN THE GLASS FOR A SEEMING ETERNITY. THE INTENT AND THE MEANING OF THE TOAST LINGERS LONG. THAT’S A GOOD THING.”

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

DUDE, WHERE’S MY FOOD? UP ALL NIGHT WITH STONEYRIDGE FRIDGE DELIVERY

AT 11 P.M., when most kitchen staff are mopping up messes and throwing in the towel after another hectic service, Bryan Bennett has just fired up the grill.

Co-creator, with brother Eric, of Aspen’s newest — and now only — late-night food-delivery service, StoneyRidge Fridge, Bennett is jamming to the sweet sound of sizzling bacon when I join him behind the counter of his pop-up kitchen last Thursday.

AMANDA RAE I enjoyed a light dinner heavy on the wine with coworkers some five hours ago, and have rallied with rosé at baca girlfriend’s locked boutique ever since. My senses may be fuzzy, but I’m acutely aware of Aspen’s inconvenient truth: only a few restaurants remain open right now — and not for much longer.

So, with hunger pangs creeping upon me like dubious dudes in the depths of Escobar, I arrive at StoneyRidge Fridge to see what it takes to feed the ravenous masses that stumble home after a big night out.

As Bennett shows me, running a borrowed kitchen with a sole sidekick — tonight, deliveryman pal Kyle Piorkowski — ’til 4 a.m. is cake. You just have to be the kind of person whose work groove winds up while most people are dozing-drunk or fast asleep. A night owl, hoot hoot!

“I was ambitious about starting this,” says Bennett, 25, recalling the wild party scene and plethora of early-morning eateries in South Florida, where he lived before selling everything and driving to Aspen four winters ago. “I’m used to staying up all night. I worked third-shift jobs in the past. Instead of going out all the time, why not give people something they’re asking for in town? As soon as midnight rolls around, your only option is pizza, (and) Mill Street Melts, but they just do grilled cheese. If you want a burger, where you gonna get it? We’re filling the gap, and hopefully people are happy.”

Judging by an ever-ringing phone, locals are digging

StoneyRidge Fridge’s menu, crafted for maximum munchies satisfaction. Most popular, by an avalanche, is the B.A.N.wich (Breakfast At Night Sandwich): hashers, bacon, fried egg, and white cheddar between thick slices of brioche French toast, served with pure maple syrup sauce.

Elevated cuisine it ain’t, but boy, does it obliterate hunger during the hopeless hour of 3 a.m.

“Breakfast is my favorite meal, and I loooove French toast,” says the self-taught cook, former server, and massage therapist. Bennett’s already envisioning other sweetand-savory stacks, maybe laced with strawberry sauce or studded with blueberries.

Similarly, the B.A.N.dito Burrito wraps a choice of chicken, bacon, or ground elk with scrambled eggs, cheddar and Jack cheeses, French-fry hash browns, mangohabañero salsa, and sour cream in a flour tortilla. StoneyRidge serves French toast sticks, mini pizza bagels, and Philly cheesesteaks with peppers and onions on fluffy Italian bread. Chicken wings are boneless (“When you’re wasted, you just wanna eat the whole thing, anyway,” Bennett quips), dredged in a secret breading for maximum crispiness, and served with a variety of dipping sauces— from bourbon barbecue to mango habanero. (Shout out to Bennett’s roommate Gerard Beattie, a RitzCarlton chef who inspired those.)

Sure, the food seems stupid simple, but Bennett did his homework. “A lot of my stuff is based on statistics,” he explains. “I researched bestselling late-night food. It’s about ingredients: people want anything with cheese, that’s why we put four kinds on our quesadilla.”

Commanding a butter-slicked flattop, Bennett cracks eggs singlehandedly and crushes handcut fries into oblivion. Both are standard toppings, along with sautéed mushrooms and cheese, on StoneyRidge burgers, made of elk, not beef.

“Even though our food isn’t extremely healthy, we use healthy options,” Bennett says, wrapping two burgers in brown butcher paper and tucking them in to-go

Janu ar y 23 - Janu ar y 29 , 20 14

boxes. “People love elk around here. It’s healthier, lower in fat. We wanna set ourselves apart.”

Piorkowski, who’s been manning the phone and mixing beats in between deliveries, staples StoneyRidge loyalty cards to the bag, and disappears again out the door.

At half past midnight, two acquaintances with slits for eyes stroll in to say hi. Perched on stools, they watch Bennett construct a mound of fries smothered in cheese, bacon, and jalapeno purée, and the Lainie, which layers not one, not two, but four thick strips of bacon with slices of vine-ripened tomato, white cheddar, and organic field greens on inch-thick slices of griddled sourdough from Louis Swiss Pastry.

“I don’t mess around,” Bennett says, pushing the masterpiece toward his now bug-eyed friends.

“That’s a BLT.” Exclamations ensue, followed by satisfied silence.

Though StoneyRidge Fridge is technically open for delivery only (free to Aspen, Highlands, Marolt Ranch, and the A.B.C.; see “Special Delivery,” opposite page), passersby pop in like moths drawn to a flame. Long past his bedtime, an older gentleman with a shock of gray hair tucked beneath a hunting cap shuffles through the door.

He double-orders the Campfire Pizza — sauce, pepperoni, and two cheeses grilled between Texas toast

— a blaze-free nod to Bennett’s camping trips in his native Ohio.

Oft-ignored options appear no less tasty: organic quinoa pasta with bourbon-sautéed eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, and marinara; the Veggie Love salad sprinkled with organic cherry tomatoes, shaved almonds, julienned carrots, quinoa, dried cranberries, hemp hearts, avocado, and sweet balsamic dressing.

Passionate about cooking thanks to his mom, a home economics teacher, Bennett even makes individual cheesecakes from scratch using organic honey graham crackers or crushed raw almonds (GF) and raw, non-GMO coconut oil as the crust. Three cherries on top, always.

“Our motto is ‘Delivering what’s great, extra late,’” Bennett says, aware he’s filling the post-witchinghour niche left vacant last year by Wally’s, run by friend Derek Koster.

“They had great food. Maybe he didn’t like the hours? I don’t know.

One night my bro saw Derek out and he basically said, ‘Town is yours now.’”

Finally, it’s 3:45 a.m.: Bennett’s cue to lock the doors, crank the tunes, and shut down StoneyRidge Fridge, until the moon rises again.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

JIMMY’S MULES I was first introduced to the Moscow Mule a few summers back, and loved it for the crisp flavor served up in a chilled cooper cup. But I thought of it as a cocktail for warm nights, not winter nights. Wrong call! Coming off a long few weeks of work and entertaining — and the resulting nights filled with one too many glasses of wine — I found myself out and about again, and needing a change of pace; something really refreshing to drink. Lo and behold, Jimmy’s cocktail menu had the answer in black and white: a Mule. And not just your basic Moscow Mule, I had a choice of four varieties — Moscow, Colorado, Kentucky and Mezcal. Feeling a bit gun-shy, I stuck close to home with a Colorado Mule. No complaints there, but I might have to go back and broaden my horizons before winter’s over.

Gunilla Asher is taking a break from the bar scene, so we’re turning this page over to you. Email jmcgovern@aspentimes.com with what cocktails you’re mixing, what libations you’re drinking, what tastes have tempted your tastebuds and we’ll share them with our readers. Cheers!

ASPEN UNTUCKED

The competitions. The concerts. The crowds. Locals know it’s not always easy to enjoy all the X Games have to offer, but a following a few simple rules can make a difference.

X GAMES WEEKEND: A SURVIVOR’S GUIDE I STILL REMEMBER my first X Games. The weekend began at 4 a.m. on a Saturday, when I strategically persuaded two of my friends to drive up from Boulder with me for 24 hours of thorough debauchery.

I was a senior in high school and had heard tales of my brothers and cousins annual X Games trips with their friends. And that year, for the very first BARBARA time, the tradition was PLATTS passed down to me.

Today, the initial excitement that woke me up in the early hours of the morning six years ago to drive west in search of a promisingly epic X Games weekend has mostly dissipated. The Games just feel like another weekend now… one with insanely large crowds at the base of Buttermilk, lines around the block at the best bars and clubs, and negative amounts of parking spots downtown. But, if you are a young local or even an overwhelmed visitor, there are ways to survive the upcoming weekend, and maybe even have a little bit of fun. What follows are tips I have collected during my years of X Games participation.

To go or not to go?

Seasoned locals will say that

22

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

F

the No. 1 rule of X Games is to not actually go to X Games. It’s a much warmer experience to watch it on a television screen at a bar in town or at home. However, being on the edge of the halfpipe, watching legends like Kelly Clark launch into the air right in front of you while everyone else in the country views her on a small screen, is an unforgettable experience. I recommend going to the Games at least once for a competition.

When you go, overlook that cute mini-dress and those fitted jeans in your closet. The base of Buttermilk is cold, especially after 4 p.m. Dress like you are about to go skiing on a particularly snowy day. I am also a big fan of wearing excessive amounts of toe and hand warmers.

Pre-gaming

Pre-gaming, if 21 or older, is of the utmost importance for most — well, really all — activities involved with the X Games No booze is sold on X Games grounds, so get your drink on before heading to the base of Buttermilk. Ensuring that your fridge is fully stocked with booze before the weekend starts will help make things easier (see “The Night Scene”).

Transportation

Parking is difficult in town and impossible at Buttermilk. Opt

Janu ar y 23 - Janu ar y 29 , 20 14

to leave your car at home and take public transportation around town and to the Games. However, many people will be doing the same, so plan on leaving at least two buses early to get to your desired location.

The Night Scene

Most of the clubs in town will have some kind of cover for the weekend or will close their doors for private parties.

The rest of the establishments will fill to the brim with desperately thirsty patrons.

This is a weekend during the year where I become a huge advocate of the house party. Indulge in that fully stocked fridge, design a killer playlist, and spend some time in your humble abode with 30-50 of your closest friends.

If you must go out, be careful who you flirt with…they may be underage. One of the main age demographics for X Games is the 13- to 24-year-old market. Large groups of high school and college students will be traveling up to Aspen for the weekend (as did I), and may even try to sneak into bars

and clubs despite their young age.

If you get talking to a boy or girl and have the suspicion that they were born after 1993, it may be wise to ask them for some identification.

If you do not agree with some or all of the information I have shared, throw good sense to the wind and make your own grand mistakes. It is the X Games, after all. Part of the fun is figuring out the rules — and when to break them.

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | SOUTH CAROLINA

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

EXPERIENCE THE NEW SOUTH NESTLED DEEP in the Blue Ridge mountains of Western South Carolina, Greenville was once a thriving cotton-economyturned- struggling-textile-millcity; today, the town is experiencing a resurgence.

The German automotive company BMW changed the future of Greenville and the entire “Upstate” region AMIEE WHITE when they opened, BEAZLEY and then expanded, an automotive factory here, attracting more industry to the area. This, and the other industries that followed, brought with them a flood of young professionals, improved schools and spurred the revitalization of downtown. In fact, the West End Historic District is the heart of the new Greenville.

The West End is home to new art galleries, locally sourced restaurants, hip cafés; it also offers access to

beautiful Falls Park on the Reedy River, which is the focal point of downtown Greenville. This $15 million park is distinguished by the Liberty Bridge, a uniquely designed suspension bridge that spans two sides of town, offering unobstructed views of the Reedy River Falls, access to 26 acres of parks, and the Swamp Rabbit trail, a 14-mile biking and hiking trail that connects Greenville with nearby Traveler’s Rest.

The West End is also home to Fluor Field. This baseball park is a mini-replica of Boston’s Fenway Park, and home to the Greenville Drive, a Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Fluor Field features a 30-foot-high replica of Fenway’s Green Monster, seats for more than 5,000 fans, and even a hand-operated scoreboard, just like Boston’s. With only 13 rows of seats, every spot is a good one, and it gives families a chance to see an affordable game, with up and coming talent, without the guilt of possibly leaving early.

After a game, kids and parents

can be found strolling along the historic Main Street, which has becoming a more popular place to live and work among young professionals. While we were visiting, we kept the kids content while we shopped by finding the “Mice on Main,” a self-guided tour of nine sculptured mice that begins in front of the Hyatt Regency hotel and continues along a nine-block stretch of Main Street between the Hyatt and the Westin Poinsett hotel.

New restaurants like Tupelo Honey Café, made famous for its original location in nearby Asheville, N.C., and The Owl bring a reimagined taste of the South to what was once a pretty dreary and over-commercialized dining scene. Much like other small regional cities, Greenville is finding that a sense of place is vital to distinguishing itself among travelers and businesses.

Then, of course, there is the access to the outdoors. Nearby Table Rock State

Park is legendary among climbers for the granite rock routes found on the south eastern face of Table Rock Mountain. These are accessible with a permit from Sept. 1 through Dec. 31. The remainder of the park is open to hiking, camping, fishing and kayaking.

The landscape of Greenville will change over the next couple of years as developers provide infill, the city attracts more businesses and it continues to welcome a population that yearns for a balance of work and play. Keeping an eye on what makes Greenville special — its contrasting architecture, its people, food and dramatic natural environment — will cement its place as one of the United States’ next great cities.

Amiee White Beazley writes about travel for the Aspen Times Weekly.

With a renewed emphasis on gourmet food, fine art and family-friendly activities, Greenville, S.C., promises to be one the South’s next great cities.

X. Winter X.

Winter X marks the spot — and it’s not a sitzmark.

The most dynamic experiment ever in alternative generation-based marketing through extreme winter sports is a teenager for just one more year.

Next year, the Winter X Games will turn 20 — no longer a teenager. Old enough to vote; old enough to serve in the Navy; almost old enough to drink beer. And certainly old enough to drink Red Bull.

The Winter X Games are coming of age, right before our very eyes.

The 13th edition of Aspen Winter X, sponsored in part by the U.S. Navy, will launch this week at the base of Buttermilk, bringing the high-flying skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers back to the live television sound stage that is created every year at what usually is a modest Bumps in the road.

Lower Buttermilk, once again, has been transformed into a multi-venue winter competition park of Disney proportions, including a giant finish pagodasuperstructure that towers over the anticipated crowds, who flock annually to the free Winter X Games in Aspen.

What will we see this year at Aspen Winter X, the last of the teenage X Games?

More extreme sports history in the making, if past years are any indication.

More firsts, no doubt. And more future Olympic events.

Boarder X returns to this year’s X Games, while Skier X was scrapped. Says skicross veteran and Aspen local Casey Puckett: “The (Winter) X Games...they are always experimenting. They try something, and see what the response is. It’s a blank slate for them.”

“The (Winter) X Games played a huge role in adding new events to the Olympics,” said Aspen’s Casey Puckett, who participated in five different Olympic Games as a skier.

On four occasions, Puckett represented the U.S. Alpine Ski Team.

For his fifth Olympic appearance at Vancouver in 2010, Puckett went to the Games as a skicross freeskier — something that was unimaginable without the influence of the Winter X Games.

“I’ve been blessed and fortunate to participate in the X Games,” Puckett said, adding that he reinvented his ski career as a skicross racer. “It was perfect timing. I wasn’t necessarily finished with my hunger for competition. But I had retired as an alpine racer” — after a distinguished World Cup career and four Olympic appearances.

“With the X Games right here in my backyard, I went to Skier X (skicross),” said Puckett, who had moved to Aspen. “And I discovered that’s an event I should have been doing my whole life.”

Skier X, or skicross, involves alpine skiers racing together, side by side, on the same downhill course that features jumps, bumps, turns and tricky, bumpy transitions — four skiers at a time in an elimination format. Just like Boarder X, only with skiers.

“The event combined motocross with fundamental ski racing elements,” said Puckett, an alpine ski racer who conveniently grew up as a motocross racer.

“I loved it. It’s a great sport,” he said.

“No. 1, it’s not judged.”

No style points; no subjective selections. It’s winner takes gold. No. 2 takes silver. No. 3 takes bronze.

“The (Winter) X Games provided a ton of exposure. It was a reinvention for me,” said the Aspen freeskier who went on to win a handful of X Games medals, including a Skier X gold. “It exposed me to a different fan base.”

The invaluable Winter X Games exposure eventually elevated skicross to Olympic status; it’s on the calendar again for the Sochi Winter Games next month.

Ironically, in the ever-evolving culture of the Winter X Games, the Skier X event was scrapped for this year in Aspen. Boarder X still will be held.

“Hopefully, we’ll bring (Skier X) back next year,” Puckett said, adding that X Games organizers are constantly tweaking events and trying new ones in the rapid-fire world of

action sports and sponsors.

“The (Winter) X Games ... they are always experimenting. They try something, and see what the response is. It’s a blank slate for them,” said Puckett, now a respected skicross coach who works with the top Skier X racers in the country.

“It’s so cool the X Games have been in Aspen for more than a decade,” Puckett said. “It’s a perfect venue.”

The Winter X Games also provided a tangible goal for local athletes, too.

“It’s very cool to see local athletes — like Torin Yater-Wallace and Alex Ferreira — excel at the X Games,” Puckett said of Aspen-area superpipe skiers.

Their sport, like Puckett’s previously, now is an Olympic event. The freeskier halfpipe will make its Olympic debut at the Sochi Winter Games.

It make its big-time international debut at the Winter X Games in Aspen.

Another valley athlete from a halfdecade ago literally launched an entire career with his remarkable, recordsetting (and televised) performance at the 2007 Winter X Games in Aspen.

Peter Olenick, who grew up in Carbondale as an outstanding allaround athlete, put the superpipe at Buttermilk on the international map when he executed the first double-flip in competition at the Winter X Games.

He would forever be known for his maneuver — christened the Whiskey Flip. It’s so significant in the sport, it’s a proper noun. It’s a part of Winter X lore — one of many firsts at Aspen Winter X. “Doing that double at the X Games ... being the first one to do it definitely changed my whole career,” said Olenick. “It put me on the map as one of the guys to beat.”

He said he had borrowed the concept from a slopestyle trick, adapting it to the halfpipe.

It also opened competitive doors to Olenick all over the world.

“It helped change the sport. Now, they do multiple doubles (on the same pass), and they do them better than I did,” said Olenick, the modest freeskiing legend who retired from competition last summer.

“Now, I’m coaching at AVSC, and it’s awesome,” he said.

As a youngster, he said he first saw the X Games on television from Mount Snow, Vt. When they were relocated to Aspen, Olenick said he couldn’t believe his good fortune.

He went to Buttermilk and he

watched. He worked on his skiing. He worked on his tricks.

Eventually, he qualified for a coveted spot in Aspen Winter X. “The X Games have given our sport so much,” Olenick said. “It puts it in a broader view ... for people who don’t even ski.”

He said he’s amazed at the reach of the X Games exposure, the kind of publicity that gets a Winter X Games gold medalist from Carbondale recognized by a bartender at the Charlotte, N.C., airport.

“He said, ‘I’ve been watching you on the X Games for years,” Olenick said.

The saturation television coverage that accompanies the ESPN production of the Winter X Games makes X Games athletes like Olenick recognizable figures all over the world.

“THE (WINTER) X GAMES PLAYED A HUGE ROLE IN ADDING NEW EVENTS TO THE OLYMPICS.” - CASEY PUCKETT

In the ever-changing world of X Games, Skier X and Snowmobile Best Trick are no longer on the schedule. Boarder X, Snowmobile Freestyle and Snowmobile Long Jump are on tap.

His first Whiskey Flip started a new phase of halfpipe and slopestyle tricks and paved the way for X Games athletes like Levi LaVallee, who attempted the first snowmobile double backflip at the Aspen Winter X Games, and snowboard superstar Kelly Clark, the first woman to pull a 1080 in the superpipe at Buttermilk.

Of late, there have been even more Winter X Games firsts.

Norwegian Torstein Horgmo executed the first triple cork in the Snowboard Big Air event at the 2011 Winter X Games.

A year later, Heath Frisby pulled off the first front flip on a snowmobile at Winter X in Aspen.

Then, last year, a horrifying first for the Winter X Games in Aspen — a fatal accident.

Caleb Moore, a shining star in the world of snowmobile tricks, became the first Winter X Games fatality on Jan. 31, 2013. He had been injured a week earlier when his machine fell on top of him after a missed jump. The accident prompted changes in safety procedures for snowmobile events at the Winter X Games.

All along the way, the Winter X Games stars became even bigger and brighter — witness Shaun White and Gretchen Bleiler, among others.

White, of course, has been the overriding face of the Winter X Games from his days of long, flowing locks to his current streamlined hairstyle.

He won his sixth consecutive gold in the Winter X superpipe last year — an unprecedented streak of dominance that is replayed year after year as the ESPN/ABC networks rerun Aspen Winter X programs.

This year, even more television is planned. ESPN and ABC will televise a combined 16 hours of live X Games Aspen competition. An additional 13-plus hours of competition from Aspen will be carried on ESPN3. All of the programming will be available on mobile devices.

That translates into television coverage to more than 61 countries and nearly 500 million homes.

The 19-year-old Winter X Games are coming of age, indeed.

Will they continue in Aspen?

Will they continue to impact athletes like Casey Puckett, Peter Olenick and Shaun White?

The current ESPN/Winter X Games contract with the Aspen Skiing Co. will end after this year’s games at Buttermilk.

The Skico already has bid to bring the Winter X Games back to Aspen in 2015 and beyond ... with even more new Olympic sports. dstrode@aspentimes.com

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

KARAN LIVES WITH THE DEAD INFLUENCE IN JULY OF 1998, Mark Karan, a little-known guitarist, found himself onstage at Alpine Valley, a gorgeous amphitheater in Wisconsin, looking at a hillside filled with 30,000 listeners and maybe a few thousand Bic lighters. Flanking him onstage were surviving members of the Grateful Dead.

“And I’m realizing, ‘This is a band I’m in.’ I’m saying, ‘Pinch me,’” he recalled.

Karan almost certainly wasn’t thinking it at the time, but there is a downside to the path he headed down as a member of the Other Ones, the first post-Grateful Dead band featuring most of the musicians from the Dead.

Karan has since become known as a post-Jerry Garcia guitarist — playing lead guitar not only in the Other Ones, but also in bands led by Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart, all members of the Grateful Dead. He also tours occasionally with the tribute band Terrapin Flyer, which will be putting its spin on Dead material on Thursday, Jan. 23 at PAC3 in Carbondale.

But Karan also leads a group of his own, Mark Karan’s Buds. The influences on his group don’t end with the Dead; Karan has soaked up indie rock, Bakersfield-style country, blues and r&b. But that musical identity can get eclipsed when he slips into material, and the Garcia-oriented leads, of the post-Dead groups.

“It’s definitely a mixed blessing,” Karan said from somewhere between Chicago and St. Louis. “It’s been a joy to be included in the Dead projects.

I’ve gotten a lot of recognition and made a lot of powerful relationships.

But it means my visibility is because I’m associated with someone else. I wasn’t there in the Dead; I didn’t write those songs that I’ve been playing all these years. My momentum fell by the wayside because of that.”

It’s possible too that his momentum was curtailed by his choice of band name. Mark Karan’s Buds were originally known as Jemimah Puddleduck, after the Beatrix Potter character. Karan reluctantly changed the name after many people observed that the name wasn’t a good fit for the sound. “People thought the name was silly. But I thought it was silly in a good way,” Karan said.

Karan is 59, and as he notes, that meant growing up with groups that had names like the Strawberry Alarm Clock and the Peanut Butter

Conspiracy. And Karan grew up in San Francisco, meaning that his formative years took place amidst the emergence of the San Francisco psychedelic scene.

But Karan began playing guitar at 9, a touch before the local rock scene took hold. His most significant early influence wasn’t from the Bay Area, but from a town on England’s River Mersey — the Beatles.

In a few years, though, it became impossible for a 12-year-old guitarist living in San Francisco not to be taken with what was happening around him.

Karan says that giving a short version of the late ’60s in San Francisco is a fool’s errand, but then he goes ahead and does a worthy job of it.

“Certainly a time that was massively transforming for the entire world. A lot going on, a lot of musical exploration, personal exploration, spiritual exploration,” he said. “It changed a lot of lives and mine was one of them. It was five years of some of the most moving parts of my whole life. I was young and able to participate.”

Karan adored the Grateful Dead from the first time he saw them play, in 1966 at the famed venue the Fillmore, on a bill with blues harmonica player James Cotton. But he also loved the other northern California bands, including the Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service. If he

Terrapin Flyer Thursday, Jan. 23 at 8 p.m.

PAC3, Carbondale

had to pick a favorite, it wasn’t the Dead, but a group that left a lesser legacy.

“If I had to be honest, my favorite was the Sons of Champlin, who might have been the first jazz-rock band,” Karan said. “They had Eastern spiritual philosophyoriented lyrics, James Browntype songs with jazz and funk and r&b jams. I came from a home that listened to a lot of Billie Holiday, old bebop jazz — pretty much anything black and funky.”

Karan lost his interest in the Dead in the ’70s as he discovered first the Los Angeles cowboy scene, with Poco and the Eagles, and then funk, like Tower of Power and Sly Stone. The years away from the Dead created an interesting phenomenon in Karan’s later life: when he plays a song from the Dead’s later era, songs he didn’t have burned into his mind early on, he is freer to put his own stamp on them.

“Those I play without much Garcia influence,” he said. “But I’m never aping Garcia. That’s almost impossible.

Nobody could fill those shoes. He was a unique individual, musically and in a lot of other ways.”

Karan was more taken with the Dead’s songs than the lengthy instrumental jams. “I’m a song freak, and that’s a big part of my attraction to the Dead,” he said. “I have maybe a more traditionalist approach in how I like to hear the song part of the song.”

Even in the song department, though, Karan finds himself mysteriously linked to Garcia. Karan is always on the hunt for songs to cover, and the more obscure, the better. But he often finds that a certain someone beat him to the tune.

“I’ll get a wild hair up my butt for a song I haven’t heard in years and years,” he said. “And 80 percent of the time, I’ll find that Garcia has covered it at some point.”

The current lineup of Terrapin Flyer also features Melvin Seals, who has an even deeper connection to Garcia. Seals was the organist for 15 years in the Jerry Garcia Band, and did much to give that group its strong gospel element.

“One of the things he does that blows my mind pretty consistently is, he’ll take a solo, take it to a peak where you’re ready for the vocal, and he’ll keep going, take it around two or three more times and keep taking it to a new level,” Karan said.

Terrapin Flyer is rounded out by bassist Wavy Dave Burlingame, who also plays banjo in the acoustic band Cornmeal, drummer Jim Farmer, and guitarist and bandleader Doug Hagman, who brought Karan and Seals into the group for the current tour. “ I think Doug feels Melvin and I add a little something special to the Terrapin lineup,” Karan said.

Terrapin Flyer, with guitarist Mark Karan and keyboardist Melvin Seals, covers the music of the Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band, Thursday, Jan. 23 at PAC3 in Carbondale.

BOOK REVIEW

‘WILD ONES’

NOTEWORTHY

SAN FRANCISCO-BASED author Jon Mooallem asks some hard questions in “Wild Ones: A Sometimes Dismaying, Weirdly Reassuring Story About Looking at People Looking at Animals in America.” Perhaps the hardest one, for those who love wildlife, is this: Why do we even bother? What are we saving when we save a threatened species? Why are we depressed by the notion of polar bear extinction, when most of us will never visit the Arctic or see a polar bear? Why spend decades fighting for a seemingly doomed butterfly subspecies that lives only on a tiny parcel of land next to a drywall plant, or go to surreal lengths to aid whooping crane migration, when climate change means the birds will soon lose the wetlands they need to survive, anyway?

Some readers may be frustrated

by Mooallem’s approach; for one

thing, he doesn’t appear to recognize any intrinsic value in animal life. He assumes conservationists aren’t out to save polar bears for the sake of the polar bears, but so that the bears can be “preserved like a keepsake.” At times, it also feels like Mooallem intentionally ignores the inconvenient truth that nearly all of the extraordinary things humans do to save animals are attempts to undo damage that humans are responsible for in the first place.

At its most fascinating, however, “Wild Ones” is a natural history, a history of the study of natural history, and an examination of the places wild animals hold in our collective imagination. It tackles subjects as disparate as the slaughter of buffalo in the American West, feuds between conservationists, and why “Billy Possum” — a stuffed animal created in honor of William Howard Taft — never

grabbed public imagination the way the Teddy Bear did.

Mooallem ultimately makes a compelling case that, whatever the outcome, our drive for species conservation is an affirmation of human goodness, and something we should let guide us. Scientists believe half of all species may die out by the end of the century, but Mooallem contends there’s beauty and hope to be found in trying to save them — particularly in the “achingly imperfect people working to achieve something more moral than they are.”
