THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

POPULAR MUSIC SAVE UP some energy over X Games weekend, because the great Talib Kweli returns to Belly Up Aspen on Monday, Jan. 30.

The hard-rapping, hardtouring emcee, who burst onto the scene 20 years ago as one half of Black Star with Mos Def, Kweli has been a regular at Belly Up over the past decade, putting on dependably great shows and always bringing new tracks with him. He has been on a remarkably prolific run, putting out an album a year since 2011 and singles like “F-ck the Money.”

The Brooklyn native has remained one of the most respected rappers around – as new trends and new stars have come and gone, he’s remained at the pinnacle of lyricism, storytelling and versatility.

Kweli laces his rhymes with social awareness and political insight — an aspect of his work that he sees as a rapper’s duty. As Kweli once told The Aspen Times: “As a kid, I wanted to be famous as a rapper.

You couldn’t be the best if you weren’t responsible to the community. You had to have songs that spoke to the community. KRSOne, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, they all dealt with the community. They rapped about black people, about the ’hood.”

Monday’s show is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. with K Valentine opening.

Tickets are $28, available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.

Rapper Talib Kweli will return to Belly Up on Monday, Jan. 30.

CURRENTEVENTS ART

Bobby Mason will perform Sunday at the Aspen Poets’ Society’s tribute to Bob Dylan, Leon Russell and Leonard Cohen.

Lynn Goldsmith opens a show at the Andi-Le gallery in Aspen on Thursday, Jan. 26.

IF YOU MISSED Lynn Goldsmith’s surprising solo show at the Art Base Annex last summer, where the photographer showcased her surreal fine art work, pop into the new AndiLe gallery on Cooper Avenue this weekend.

Goldsmith is showing her work in the gallery, which specializes in custom furniture and art, and will be on hand for an opening reception Thursday, Jan. 26, from 6 to 8 p.m.

More info at www.andi-le.com

LITERATURE THERE’S A LOT TO CELEBRATE at the Aspen Poets’ Society event at Victoria’s on Sunday, Jan. 29, at 6:30 p.m.

The local poets group is honoring newly crowned Nobel laureate Bob Dylan, along with the late Leonard Cohen and Leon Russell — legendary poets and musicians all. Poets are encouraged to bring their favorite lyrics from the artists for the open mic portion of the evening.

Also well worth celebrating: the nonprofit is bringing Bobby Mason to the stage to perform music by Dylan, Cohen and Russell. After health issues sidelined him for much of 2016, the Aspen legend is back to hustling gigs around town — this should be one for the ages.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

compiled by THE ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

JUMPING IN WITH TWO SKIS

1950 ASPEN

“SKI JUMP HAS FACE LIFTED BY SKI CLUB,” noted The Aspen Times on Nov. 20, 1958. “Aspen’s Willoughby ski jump, designed in 1937 by Andre Roch, is being given a major face lifting by the ski club under the direction of Frank Willoughby. Using a revised profile, prepared by Stan DuRose of the National Ski Association Ski Hill Engineering Committee, a work crew from the ski club organized by Wes Thorpe has been working weekends to bring the hill to specifications set by the NSA. Willoughby and Thorpe, who have also received help from the Aspen Skiing Corp., hope to have the hill completed before the skiing begins. It will permit jumps of 40 to 55 meters. When completed the jump will be used for exhibitions and jumping meets and, according to ski club officials, will provide excellent training facilities for local jumpers. In addition to the 40-meter jump the ski club maintains a smaller 30-meter hill. Both will be used this winter in the junior jump training program during the Christmas vacation under the direction of Odvar Ronnestad.” The photograph above shows a man sidestepping up the landing of the Willoughby jump in the 1950s.

This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

BEST IN SHOW: WINTER OUTDOOR RETAILER SHOW FROM SKI GEAR to winter jackets, companies congregate each winter in Utah to launch new products at the Outdoor Retailer trade show. I spent last week evaluating hundreds of products at the massive event in search of the best to-bereleased gear for 2017. Here are five top picks.

Foam Snowshoes: Crescent Moon Eva Crescent Moon redefined the category with the Eva, a rockered snowshoe made of EVA foam. (This is the soft kind of foam used in shoe midsoles.)

Because of the rocker, no hinge is required underfoot.

The result is a maneuverable snowshoe made for moving fast in moderate snow depths.

Avalanche Assessor: Mountain Hub Snow Probe Insert the Scope probe into snow and it measures the hardness of layers to create a profile. The info is transmitted

by Bluetooth to a phone and then used to assess avalanche risk of the slope. The digital info can then be shared to the Mountain Hub website for crowd-sourced avalanche forecasting.

The North Face took its breathable insulation and poked holes in it, literally. The Summit L3 Ventrix Hoodie has laser perforations where athletes sweat so the jacket vents as the body moves. When activity decreases, the perforations stay closed to keep in heat.

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

Dip a small battery-like cylinder in saltwater and insert it into a lantern for 100 hours of power. That’s the concept behind Hydra-Light, a unique power-generation system that creates electricity from a reaction between water and a magnesium coil. In a world of solar, the power-by-saltwater solution turns heads.

Synthetic Warmth: Patagonia Hyper Puff

Mechanically Breathable: TNF Ventrix

Electricity From Saltwater: Hydra-Light

Janu ar y 26 - Febr u ar y 1 , 20 17

Patagonia employs a new kind of synthetic insulation for its Hyper Puff Hoody. The HyperDAS insulation is layered like an accordion, so it lofts outward. This creates huge dead air space, adding significant insulation from the cold. It also packs small, fitting into a stuff sack the size of a one-quart jug.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

ROAD TRIPPING: A DOG’S PERSPECTIVE DEAR DIARY, Another day on the road has come and gone and I still have no idea where I am. I’m not even sure how long we’ve been away from home, as my canine mind can’t grasp the difference between a week, a month and a year. I’ve tried to keep track of the times the sun goes down and then comes back up, but my attention span BARBARA PLATTS is so short that I often get … Look! Squirrel!

Wait, where was I? Oh yes. So this all started a couple days, or possibly a few months ago. My humans decided to go on an adventure. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m up for a big hike or a long run, but sitting in a car for what feels like forever ain’t my idea of a good time. They have my furry bed pleasantly situated in the back seat so I’m comfortable. And they turn back to me every couple of hours and sing praises like “good boy!” and “Oh Cassius, what a cutie!” so my self-esteem is up. And I’ve received a surplus of treats, which means they must be feeling pretty guilty. But still, I’m restless back here. We stop from time to time and take short jaunts around the car, but this is not nearly enough to get my energy out. After all, I’m still just a pup. I’m ready to go all the time.

As far as I can tell, on this journey, my parents have absolutely no idea what the plan is. Sometimes we are stuck in the car for next to forever and other times we’re exploring a new place.

I can’t get a rhythm or a firm grasp on what’s going on, so I’ve just decided to roll with it at this point. I suppose going with it is better than being left behind. Plus, it’s my responsibility to keep the pack together. I have to work day and night to make sure we don’t separate. Mom and Dad seem to barely notice my tireless efforts.

Our first stop along this “adventure” was named Las Vegas.

We stayed at my uncle’s house.

Or, at least, my parents called him my uncle. I have many aunts and uncles, though. They can’t all be blood related. Can they? Anyway, this uncle of mine had a cat. That thing hated me and I found oh so much joy in terrorizing it.

That stupid fur ball could barely leave his owner’s room he was so nervous. When I was a younger pup, I tried to make friends with these felines, but alas, it was not meant to be. Now I choose to pester the hell out of them. It’s much more fun this way.

The local crowds in Vegas weren’t particularly welcoming.

We went to several parks during our stay and met many a dog, but rarely did they care to exchange

sniffs with me. I even tried to chew on an earlobe or two and most of the dogs wanted nothing to do with me. They also had strange names.

One pit bull said his owner named him Tupac, after a dead rapper.

Another wiener dog I met was named Martini, that poor guy. He must get bullied all the time in the dog park.

Needless to say, I wasn’t a huge fan of Vegas, but I grew used to it. I was even starting to get into a regimented eating and pooping schedule (and not even on grass!).

However, just as things started to feel like home, it was time to move on.

Our next stop on the trek was called “West Hollywood.” We stayed with one of my other uncles there.

Here, dogs are rude at best. We couldn’t walk past one without it yelping and screaming at me. I never got the chance to test this theory, but I imagine none of them had particularly pleasant buttocks to sniff. Frankly, each of them seemed to have their own head shoved so far up their ass they couldn’t be bothered to check out mine.

Hmmph, must be a showbiz thing.

City pups lack a sense of propriety when they are relieving themselves. They’ll do it anywhere at any time … like we’re animals or something. They don’t appreciate the finer things in life like being able to take a big dump on a fresh pile of powder or a sprawling

field of fresh, green grass in the mountains. They have no idea what true wilderness is. Maybe that’s why they’re so ill-tempered and unwelcoming. Yes, this may make me sound like a spoiled Aspen pup, but it’s not my fault that my parents raised me to appreciate the finer things in life.

Even though Hollywood is no Aspen, I began to grow used to the scene. However, it was not meant to be my new home. Soon after arriving, my parents were ready to go again. They packed up all of my belongings and placed me in the back of the car for another drive.

That is where I share this diary entry from, somewhere on the open road.

I’m not sure what’s next on our agenda. Who knows if we will ever return to our home in Aspen or if we will find some other place to live. I’m just stuck in limbo, trying to hold my pack together like the loyal pup I am.

Diary, I’ll write more when we get to our next destination. I keep hearing the word “beach,” whatever that means. Wish me luck as I brave the open roads, hoping and praying that this trek does not last forever.

Ooo! Is that a duck? Gotta go!

Cassius may be homesick, but he’s a better traveler then he lets on. Reach him or his mother at bplatts.000@ gmail.com.

WINEINK

SEE. SNIFF. SIP. SAVOR. THE ART OF TASTING WINE

TASTE. It is the ultimate reason to drink a wine. At the end of the day, if you don’t like what’s in your glass, then why bother?

But one of the most intimidating things about wine is that many people think, frequently because of price or a review, that they are supposed to like the taste of a certain wine. You wouldn’t drink a KELLY J. HAYES Barq’s if you liked Mr. Pibb, or a chai if you preferred Earl Grey tea, would you? Of course not.

Yet with wine there is still a feeling of elitism that comes into play. That there are “experts” who know more than you do and therefore know better than you what you should drink.

Nonsense.

Of course, there are gifted tasters who have the talent and the faculties to isolate various aromas and flavors in a glass of wine and identify its origins, and sometimes even its vintage. Then, there are trained tasters who use a series of deductive reasoning methods to try to identify particular aspects of a wine to pinpoint exactly what that wine might be.

But the thing is, none of them have your personal palate.

They don’t have your unique physiological attributes, or your sensibilities, that determine what tastes good to you. That doesn’t mean that their opinions are not valid. It simply means that you are best served as a wine drinker by taking control of your own palate and drinking wines that you like best.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR WINE EXPERIENCE

There are a few things that you can do to help navigate your own tastes and ensure that you can identify the wines that make you happiest.

Know that we experience wines in three separate and distinct

10

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

F

ways. First, we see them. Next, we smell them and, finally, we taste them. If, on your first few sips you use what you already know, you can deduce a lot about what you are drinking. Pay attention and your senses will allow you to make your own wine choices.

SEE

Begin by looking into your glass.

The first thing to determine is whether the wine is a red or a white. Sounds simple, but it gives you a place to start. Score the first point to you. But examine it a little closer. If it’s a white, is it clear and without color? Maybe it’s the color of straw? Perhaps it may even have an orange-ish tinge to it or maybe it is even a bit green. This can give you hints about the grape involved.

If it is a red wine, look at the clarity and brightness of the wine.

Can you see through the glass, or is it too deep to see through?

Generally, the darker the wine the bigger the grape. A pinot noir, for example, may be light and translucent in the glass, where a syrah may be dark as night.

Is the wine cloudy? That may mean that it has not been filtered.

Swirl the wine in the glass. Does the residue cling to the sides with what some call “tears”? This might mean that the wine has a little bit more alcohol or residual sugar. All of these things are clues about what the wine is and also what it isn’t.

SNIFF

Next, use what some say is the most important tool in tasting: your nose. Take a quick sniff of the wine and see if anything smells familiar. Do you get fruits on the nose? In a white wine there may be citrus or apples that come immediately to mind. Red wines may give off the aromas of cherries, or maybe darker fruits like figs and plums.

Do you smell any other elements? Perhaps some stone or even a touch of dirt? And be

Janu ar y 26 - Febr u ar y 1 , 20 17

aware if you get a quick hit of wood. Scientists say that we can smell over 100,000 different aromas. If you can identify, say 30 or so that appeal to you, seek them out in your wines.

SIP

Finally, the moment of truth.

You’ve seen it and sniffed it, now give it a sip. You can swirl a wine in your mouth and assess things like sweetness or dryness. Does it feel thick on the palate, or is it thin? Do the tannins dry your mouth, or do you feel the crisp acidity of the wine?

All of these things can give clues to what you are drinking, but more

importantly, they can help you identify the things that turn you on. It may take some time, but spend a minute with your wines and see, sniff and sip. It will help you take control of the most important wines in the world.

The ones you like.

Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass. He can be reached at malibukj@ aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE BERINGER 2014 PINOT NOIR SONOMA COAST As I looked in the glass I could see a bright red wine that was fairly clear. The nose instantly conveyed red cherries and strawberries that were indicative of the flavors to come. While the tears, or legs, of the wine were slow to diminish, indicating a bit of alcohol, when I tasted the wine it felt clean, smooth, and refined on the palate. Fruit forward, but balanced, with a nice acidity. Going back to the bottle I was surprised to find a 14.9 percent alcohol level, higher than my expectation. All in all a great see, sniff, and sip experience.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

MAKE IT 1/2 oz Triple Sec 1 oz Light Rum 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve. Best served in a cocktail glass.

XYZ COCKTAIL As the X Games take over Aspen again this week, we decided to pour a libation in its honor.

And while Bud Light is a big seller at the bars, and energy drinks — from Monster to Rock Star to Red Bull — mixed with just about any type of booze seem to keep the skittle thugs chugging, a friend recently mentioned mixing up an XYZ. Made with light rum, triple sec and fresh lemon juice, it sounds a bit summery for a winter event like X Games. But for the more “mature” crowd (read: those who prefer to watch the Games from the comfort of their couch than with the masses at the ’Milk), I’m thinking an XYZ Cocktail might be the perfect cure for the January deep freeze blues.

LIBATIONS WAS CREATED BY BELOVED ASPEN TIMES PUBLISHER GUNILLA ASHER, WHO DIED JUNE 2, 2014, AFTER A BRAVE BATTLE WITH CANCER. CHEERS — TO GUNNER!

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

AUSTRALIA DAY

MAY SELBY

ON JAN. 26, 1788, 11 ships traveling from Britain to Australia, known as the First Fleet, arrived in New South Wales. There they raised the Union Jack flag at Sydney Cove and marked the date as the national holiday, though it wasn’t called Australia Day for another century-plus. Jan. 26 is widely celebrated throughout Australia and

by Aussie ex-pats around the world with concerts, festivals, sporting events, fireworks displays and more. In Aspen, which sees more Australian visitors than any other international guest, the month of January is the most popular time to visit, coinciding with their summer break from school.

To welcome Aussies to Aspen this month and celebrate during their stay, many a special event and festivity has been staged around town, including cocktail parties and an annual Australian Celebrity Chef Cooking Contest, an invitational event presented by the Aspen Skiing Co. This year’s competition featured Australian Celebrity Chef Matt Moran as the judge.

With restaurateur, television show host, author and more to his name, Matt is one of Australia’s most recognized chefs, with air-

time judging or hosting prime-time shows such as Masterchef, Heat in the Kitchen and The Chopping Block.

A total of six chefs from acclaimed Aspen restaurants competed in the contest this year, each vying to create the most savory grilled prawn dish of all for the Shrimp on the Barbie challenge. Staged at the festively decorated Chair 9 après-ski bar at The Little Nell on Jan. 10 with a DJ spinning top Aussie tracks, guests enjoyed wine, beer and “Aussie-tinis,” a signature champagne punch in the colors of the Australian flag, as they sampled the shrimp dishes. After a blind taste test, Chef Matt Moran cast his vote for each dish, deeming Nate King of Cache Cache for his Charred Wild Ecuadorian Shrimp with Mango Lime Miso Sauce and Ginger/Scallion. King was pleased with his first place win, noting he now “needs to visit Australia,” having never been. Chris “Gerber” Mathie of Ajax Tavern came in second with his appetite-whetting Green Curry Grilled Shrimp, and Oscar Carrasco of host venue The Little Nell came in third with his dish, Shrimp and Citrus. Chef Christopher Randall of The Limelight captured the Audience

Favorite Award for his dish, ChimichurriMarinated Carolina White Shrimp.

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | ASPEN

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

IN RESIDENCE: THE DANCING BEAR ASPEN

IT’S LIKELY you’ve passed by the two buildings that make up Dancing Bear Aspen. The large brick buildings are set on opposite corners of South Monarch Street, with Durant Avenue running between them.

The first building, Parkside across from Wagner Park, was built about a decade ago and the second, Mountainside — closer to Aspen mountain AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY — opened just last summer. But I, like many locals, never had a reason nor opportunity to set up residence in one of its units meant for second homeownership. So when the chance to spend a night at the new Mountainside residence arose, I could not resist the invitation.

While I’m familiar with the concept of fractional ownership, what I didn’t realize was the level of comfort and effortless living Dancing Bear creates. It is personal, cozy and turnkey. From the preplanning of our visit with the Dancing Bear concierge team who took care of dinner reservations, stocking the kitchen and making sure the three-bedroom residence

was ready for a family of four humans and a dog, every detail was taken care of, down to a roll of fresh puppy-poop bags.

When people come to Dancing Bear — many for multiple weeks at a time — it’s important to integrate seamlessly and quickly, which is what the Dancing Bear team does best. People want to get to Aspen and immediately dive in, whether skiing in the winter or hiking and biking in the summer. Dancing Bear brings owners’ things from storage and has them ready in the residence when they arrive so that they are surrounded by the things that make their time in Aspen fulfilling and each unit feel like home. Staff knows members by name, and are always on hand to help, like an exceptionally friendly, accommodating family.

There is a full kitchen, with all the basic needs stocked so that you can make your own meals. The night I spent at Dancing Bear, I passed on cooking and instead we ordered steaks from The Monarch, where Dancing Bear members have preferred access, delivered to our residence by Dancing Bear staff.

Connecting the two buildings is the much debated “tunnel” beneath

Durant Avenue. There was so much talk about this feature when it was built, in my mind I had envisioned it might feel like a RFTA tunnel beneath Highway 82. But instead it looked like a hallway in a luxury hotel. The ability to have the tunnel allows members to enjoy all the amenities of both buildings without having to put on shoes or a jacket and head outside. Instead they can walk between the buildings like we all want to — in slippers. Dancing Bear is, after all, a home.

The highlight for the kids was the game room located next to the private screening room that has 700 movies at the ready, complete with fresh popcorn. The game room is equipped with just about every game a kid could want to play from ping pong to pool, board games and a separate room set up with an Xbox, Wii and headphones.

The highlight for the adults was the new Rejuvenation Spa in the Mountainside building. One of the first of its kind, this private spa is “self service,” meaning that during operating hours, members can come and go as they please. The spa is outfitted

with an oxygen lounge, Aqua Massage beds and a beautiful steam room with custom-made marble chaise lounges. But the best part is the IsoPod. If you’re not familiar, this an oversized egg-shaped pad filled with 10 inches of a warm, Epson salt mixture. Closing the pod creates a dark, sensory deprivation experience, where you can float and meditate in peace.

Our time at Dancing Bear Aspen was short, but it was incredibly sweet. We swooped in and swooped out of this quiet life of elevated elegance, one I really had not given much attention to before. Part of the magic of Dancing Bear is that from the outside it is understated but inside it is more than you can anticipate. Every need, every option to enhance your Aspen experience, they have it covered.

BOWL-BOUND

Before I became separated from my crew, and before ski patrol went on a fruitless search for my body, I received a phone call from local X Games skier Alex Ferreira shortly after summiting the 12,392-foot Aspen landmark that is Highland Peak.

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

Janu ar y 26 - Febr u ar y 1 , 20 17

The call was simply to confirm a time to meet up, as ESPN’s annual competition was only days away. The key here is that I received a call at all, something that would have helped avoid the fiasco that ensued once we reached the bottom of the bowl.

But, before we get to that, there is the reason I was on the summit at all. The Highland Bowl had weighed down on me since I moved to Aspen in August. A novice snowboarder, the idea of hiking 45 minutes to drop into some of the most accessible bigmountain terrain in Colorado was both exciting and terrifying.

However, summiting and riding down Aspen Highlands’ infamous bowl is undoubtedly a necessary rite of passage for any Aspenite, and I wanted my first time to be memorable. So, I was joined by local Olympian and snowboarding superstar Gretchen Bleiler on my first bowl hike, an idea that I will credit her with after I reached out to the four-time Winter X Games gold medalist about the two of us going riding together for a story.

“The bowl popped in my mind because it’s my favorite thing to do.

I’ve spent most of my snowboarding life in a halfpipe or hitting jumps. At this point in my life, what I enjoy most is hiking the bowl,” Bleiler said. “It’s a humbling experience. It also helps shift your perspective, and for me, really understand what is most important.”

HIKING HIGHLAND BOWL WITH X GAMES MEDALIST — AND HOMETOWN GIRL — GRETCHEN BLEILER

BY AUSTIN COLBERT PHOTOS BY ANNA STONEHOUSE

THE CLIMB I bused out to Aspen Highlands on Saturday, Jan. 21, with Anna Stonehouse, The Aspen Times’ staff photographer and fellow snowboarder, to meet Bleiler. After a couple of quick warm-up laps, we made our way to the ski patrol shack near the start of the bowl hike to collect ourselves. There, I bumped into ski patroller Mike Tierney, whose daughter I had lived with for a year in Steamboat Springs.

He was among those who helped look for my body later that afternoon.

Bleiler, Stonehouse and I began our ascent of Highland Peak soon after, the three of us joining the throng of ants dotting the ridge. About threequarters of the way to the summit — and after numerous breaks spent in desperate search of oxygen — we were joined by Chris Hotell, Bleiler’s husband of seven years and a pro snowboarder himself.

Reaching the top was a humbling experience for me, the only first-time bowl hiker in our foursome. The ride down was still daunting, but the views from the top and the thrill of making it that far was worth the jaunt alone.

“When you experience the bowl with someone else, it’s kind of an awesome bonding experience, because you accomplish something together,” Hotell said.

At the top, we took photos, we bumped

into friends, and we enjoyed the magical experience that is the Highland Bowl.

“The whole experience, it’s not just the way down. It’s the way up and getting that perspective and being so grateful for those turns that you get to have on the way down,” Bleiler said. “It’s not about how gnarly did you get, but it’s that experience that shifts your perspective and helps you feel more connected to yourself and nature and one another.”

THE DESCENT My first drop into the bowl was thrilling.

It was steep but manageable for even my amateur skills, and the snow was forgiving.

Naturally, Bleiler and Hotell made it feel as if I had stepped into a boxing ring with Floyd Mayweather, but at least no one was throwing punches my way.

I was hesitant about hiking the bowl with Bleiler at first simply because of the obvious difference in our skill levels, but after the

“I’VE SPENT MOST OF MY SNOWBOARDING LIFE IN A HALFPIPE OR HITTING JUMPS. AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE, WHAT I ENJOY MOST IS HIKING THE BOWL. IT’S A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE. IT ALSO HELPS SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE, AND FOR ME, REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT.” – GRETCHEN BLEILER

fact I’m not sure there could have been a better riding companion than her for my first bowl lap. We slowly made our way down, Stonehouse stopping to take pictures, me just tagging along to see how easy pro snowboarders made it look.

It was around this time I disappeared.

It was an unfortunate series of events that came together. There was our desire to get back to Aspen by 2 p.m., my tortoise-like speed on a snowboard, and ultimately our lack of cell coverage that led to our separation.

I finally found the Deep Temerity lift after what seemed like forever, waited around, and then took the lift up, thinking I was well behind them and surely I would find them at the top. I continued to follow this logic all the way to the base of Highlands and back into town. My cellphone never left my hand as I waited for calls or texts from any of the three, none of which ever came.

So, what happened to those three?

From what I was told, there was a lot of freaking out, the worst-case scenario for my disappearance going through their heads.

There was Bleiler and Hotell going back to the top to take another bowl lap, this time trying to find my body wedged in a tree well somewhere. Ski patrol, doing what it does, joined the manhunt.

IT GIRL THE SNOWBOARDER Gretchen Bleiler is a familiar name in Aspen. Originally from Ohio, Bleiler moved to the valley at age 10 and grew up living in Snowmass Village. She would go on to become arguably the most successful local Winter X Games athlete ever, winning four gold medals in the superpipe and competing in two Winter Olympics.

She retired from competition following the 2014 Winter X Games.

THE ENTREPRENEUR In 2010, Bleiler and her husband, pro snowboarder Chris Hotell, co-founded ALEX Bottle, “the only stainless steel reusable bottle that unscrews in the middle for easy cleaning, compacts for storage, and can be customized to fit your style.”

The idea was born when Hotell, who was having trouble cleaning a normal water bottle, took a hacksaw to the middle of it. Today, ALEX, which stands for “Always Live Extraordinary,” has become Bleiler’s main focus with her competition days behind her.

“It’s a product that was born from the desire to make living a sustainable lifestyle simple, easy and beautiful,” Bleiler said.“In there, though, is innovation, because we took an ordinary bottle and made one single change that made that shift.”

For more on the bottles, visit www.alexbottle.com or visit their pop-up shop at BLK MKT, 534 E. Cooper Ave., in Aspen.

BLK MKT and Bleiler will host X Games viewing parties during this week’s competition.

I was finally found — completely oblivious to the situation — by my co-worker, Jeanne McGovern, in town. Stonehouse had called her after my phone had suddenly gone mute (Highlands is notorious for its terrible cell service). I was fine, of course, a lost puppy just looking for my friends, Stonehouse’s distressed voice on the other end of the line making me aware of the stressful situation they had just been through.

THE LESSON I met with Bleiler and Hotell for dinner the following night, where we told each side of the story and had a good laugh. I wanted my first bowl hike to be impossible to forget, and that it was.

“You are humbled and you are amidst a power of nature that is so much bigger than just you. I think that’s the experience of putting things in perspective,” Bleiler said. “That’s what people are talking about more

than anything when they are talking about the bowl.”

I enjoyed everything about my first bowl hike. I will forever be grateful that Bleiler and Hotell took the time to join me. I am grateful for the humbling experience the hike and descent gives to you, something no chairlift-serviced run can compete with. I am grateful for my three friends, and for Aspen’s always-ontop-of-it ski patrol, for looking for me, even though I was safely at the bottom of the mountain.

The lesson was humbling, for sure.

Don’t rely on cell service when in the mountains. Communication and having a game plan are very important to avoid situations like ours. Thankfully, it was nothing more than a false alarm, and one that certainly bonded the four of us together in a way we had not planned.

“Every time I do the whole hike experience, there is something special about it,” Hotell said.

Indeed. Humbled, and better for it.

THE ENVIRONMENTALIST Part of ALEX’s mission is sustainability, another of Bleiler’s passions. She serves on the board of Protect Our Winters and the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies. She was recently invited to the White House to discuss climate change.

Bleiler also sits on the board for espnW, and is a strong advocate for women’s athletics and women’s rights.

Her desire to make positive changes in the world is what drives her today, but she’ll never forget her days as a snowboarder.

“For the last three years it’s been a transition,” Bleiler said. “When I retired, I retired because my heart wasn’t in competition anymore. Snowboarding will always be a foundation to who I am, having that adventure and that vehicle to just float and be creative and be outside in nature with friends.”

SOUNDS OF X IN ITS THIRD YEAR of festivalstyle concerts at Buttermilk, the X Games have outdone themselves.

After selling out the snowy venue for headliners like Skrillex and Twenty One Pilots in the last two outings, ESPN is bringing four of the hottest acts in music to Aspen this weekend.

The three days of concerts include arguably the most popular DJ in the U.S., the duo behind the most listened-to song in the world, two of the Grammy nominees for Best New Artist and the guy who just won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Hip-Hop Artist.

It’s going to be a wild weekend on Panda Peak and at Belly Up Aspen, which is hosting more intimate (and less frigid) versions of the massive shows at X Games. Here’s a primer on who’s coming.

BASSNECTAR at Buttermilk, Friday, Jan. 27, 9:45 p.m.

Bassnectar’s two-night sold-out run at Belly Up in 2014 was one of the more memorable tour stops Aspen has seen in recent years.

With two shows falling in the depths of the spring offseason, the San Francisco-based DJ brought his “basshead” army to town, filling a sleepy Aspen with his devout and frenzied followers.

His complex, danceable tracks, eclectic collaborators and epic live sets have helped make Bassnectar — born Lorin Ashton — a singular figure of the EDM era, inspiring a massive cult of fans who follow him the way previous generations followed the Dead and Phish.

The bassheads are back for X Games and Bassnectar’s sold-out opening night gig at X Games as he tours in support of his latest record, “Unlimited,” which came out last summer.

ANDERSON .PAAK & THE FREE NATIONALS at Buttermilk, Saturday, Jan. 28, 4:30 p.m. at Belly Up Aspen, Sunday, Jan. 29, 6 p.m.

When Anderson .Paak’s breakout album “Malibu” came out a year ago, it was a welcome and unexpected ray of summer sunshine in the depths of winter. The surfingthemed, genre-defying record remained one of the best albums of the year, blending R&B, soul, hip-hop, funk, rock and a little bit of old-school political rap.

He followed up the phenomenon of “Malibu” in October with the release of “Yes Lawd!” under the guise of NxWorries, his duo with Knxwledge. His very big 2016 — and his two stand-out albums — has earned the rapper a Grammy nod for Best New Artist. Yet more of the world has gotten to know Anderson .Paak in recent months as the star and voice of NBA television commercials. All indications are that he’s only going to get bigger and better from here.

Playing with his live band The Free Nationals, the emcee is playing

two early shows over X Games weekend — Saturday afternoon at the Buttermilk venue and early Sunday evening at Belly Up.

THE CHAINSMOKERS at Belly Up Aspen, Friday, Jan. 27, 10 p.m. at Buttermilk, Saturday, Jan. 28, 9:30 p.m.

The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” has topped 1 billion (yes, billion with a “b”) views on YouTube and recently broke the record for having the longest run in the Billboard Top 10 in history. You’ve heard it. You love it. It’s inescapable. Resistance is futile. The DJ duo of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart have perfected the art of the earworm for the age of electronic music — along with “Closer,” there’s “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Roses” and the new single “Paris,” which is shaping up to replace “Closer” as the song stuck in everybody on Earth’s head.

These DJ bros will play to soldout crowds Friday at Belly Up and Saturday night at Buttermilk.

G-EAZY at Buttermilk, Sunday, Jan. 29, 3:30 p.m. at Belly Up Aspen, Sunday, Jan. 29, 10:30 p.m.

An Oakland, California, rapper who emerged from the underground scene with a playful reimagining of the golden oldie “Runaround Sue,” G-Eazy was once dubbed “the James Dean of rap.”

But he’s broken free of that label and its novelty. He’s now a long way from his underground roots and at the top of the mainstream (even collaborating with Britney Spears on her 2016 comeback track “Make Me”) thanks to his 2015 album “When It’s Dark Out” and the single “Me, Myself & I.” Earlier this month, he won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Hip-Hop Artist, beating out the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West and signaling that G-Eazy has arrived.

He’s playing a doubleheader on Sunday – closing out the X Games music festival at 3:30 p.m. and then headlining Belly Up seven hours later.

Kia

THE

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. If you fit the bill and would like to apply for sweet Kia, please fill out an application at www.luckydayanimalrescue.org. 970 -274-0832 LUCKY DAY ANIMAL RESCUE OF COLORADO

(1) The BWCD owns 441 shares of Class 1 stock issued by the Robinson Ditch Company. The said 441 shares equal 24.16% of the total shares and are associated with 9.73 cfs of the 40.26 cfs decreed to the Robinson Ditch. (2) District Court in and for Garfield County. i. Legal Description of Point of Diversion: The point of diversion as decreed is located on the North bank of the Roaring Fork River one-half mile below the mouth of Sopris Creek in Section 11, T. 8 S., R. 87 West, 6th P.M. ii. Historic Use: Irrigation of approximately 137.2 acres of hay and pasture under BWCD’s interest in the Robinson Ditch water rights. In Case No. 93CW319, the Court decreed that 360 acre feet of annual consumptive-use credits are associated with said irrigation. In that case, the Court also decreed a change of use of BWCD’s Robinson Ditch rights to include augmentation. BWCD makes the credits available to contract allottees for use pursuant to an approved substitute supply plan or decree of Court. 4. Description of the Plan for Augmentation and Appropriative Rights of Exchange: By this application, Sunny Ranch seeks to augment, either directly or by exchange, out-ofpriority evaporative depletions from Eastwick Reservoir, a/k/a Becca’s Lake, described in paragraph 3 above. a. Augmentation Plan. To permit the requested out-of-priority evaporative depletions, Sunny Ranch proposes to cause the release of or otherwise commit to the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers from the BWCD contract water described in paragraph 3 above. The replacement water will be provided upstream of the location of the calling water right. The precise timing and amount of releases from the BWCD contract water shall be subject to administration by the Division Engineer and/or the Water Commissioner. b. Depletion Assumption. It is assumed that all evaporative depletions from Eastwick Reservoir, a/k/a Becca’s Lake, are 100% consumptive. As denoted on the tables attached hereto as Table 1, total annual losses from Eastwick Reservoir, a/k/a Becca’s Lake, have been estimated to be 1.35 acre feet (0.68 surface acres). The total out-of-priority dry-year evaporative losses are anticipated to total 1.05 acre feet over the 0.68 surface acres as shown on Table 2. c. Exchange Plan Reach. When an exchange is necessary to augment its out-of-priority depletions, Sunny Ranch seeks the right to operate the following appropriative right of exchange: Sunny Ranch seeks approval of a plan to augment by exchange out-of-priority depletions from Eastwick Reservoir, a/k/a Becca’s Lake, pursuant to its contractual right to the delivery of the BWCD contract water described in paragraph 3 above. Downstream Termini: The points of replacement on the Roaring Fork and/or Colorado Rivers of the BWCD’s water rights listed in paragraph 3 above and described with particularity as follows: For the exchange of Green Mountain Reservoir water: The confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, located in the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 89 West of the 6th P.M., at a point approximately 2,200 feet from the North Section line and 2,350 feet from the West Section line; For the exchange of Ruedi Reservoir and/or Troy and Edith Ditch water: The confluence of the Roaring Fork and Frying Pan Rivers located in the SW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 7, Township 8 South, Range 86 West of the 6th P.M., at a point 750 feet from the South Section line and 1,500 feet from the East Section line; and For the exchange of Robinson Ditch water: The headgate of the Robinson Ditch on the Roaring Fork River as described above. Upstream Terminus: The inlet of Eastwick Reservoir, a/k/a Becca’s Lake located in the NW ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 9, Township 10 South, Range 85 West of the 6th P.M., at a point 861 feet from the North Section line and 962 feet from the West Section line of said Section 9. A map of the BWCD’s augmentation supplies is attached as Exhibit B. d. Rate of Exchange: The maximum rate of exchange is 0.02 cfs up to 1.1 acre feet per year. e. Priority Date: A December 31, 2016 priority date is sought in connection with the subject plan for exchange, which is the date of filing of this application. f. Administration.

In the event of a call that cannot be augmented by the above described plan for augmentation, Sunny Ranch shall allow the water level of Eastwick Reservoir, a/k/a Becca’s Lake, to fall commensurate with evaporation. The exchange or any portion thereof described herein shall only operate in priority and only at such times as there is a live flow of water in the exchange reaches on the Roaring Fork River and Owl Creek. 5. Measurement Devices: So as to ensure the operation of the augmentation and exchange plan, Sunny Ranch will install and maintain such water measuring devices and implement such accounting procedures as may be required to verify that the amount of augmentation and exchange water equals or exceeds the amount of out-of-priority depletions resulting from the use of water under the claimed plan for augmentation and exchange. 6. Names and addresses of owners of land upon which structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use: Applicant. WHEREFORE, Sunny Ranch requests that this Court enter a decree that: 1. Approves the plan for augmentation and exchange described in paragraph 4; and 2. Finds that as a result of the plan for augmentation and exchange, there will be no injury to any owner of or persons entitled to use water under a vested water right or decreed conditional right.

Source: Maroon Creek, tributary to the Roaring Fork River. F. Appropriation date: September 1, 1963. G. Amount: 0.78 c.f.s conditional; and 0.22 c.f.s. absolute (as originally decreed). H. Uses: Municipal, domestic, irrigation, exchange and replacement. 4. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: Prior to December 1998, the City of Aspen (“City”) supplied water to the Highlands Water and Sanitation District on a wholesale basis, using its integrated water supply system, including the Highlands Water and Sanitation District Water Diversion System water right, which had been conveyed to the City. The Highlands Water and Sanitation District was dissolved by Court order on December 24, 1998, and the City has since provided water service directly to the District’s former customers. The Highlands Water and Sanitation District Water Diversion System water right is part of the City’s integrated water supply system to maintain a legal and reliable water supply to meet current and future demand. The City’s integrated water supply system includes surface water diversions, wells, a ditch system, the Maroon Creek hydroelectric plant, water rights, diversion structures, wells, water mains, lines and distribution systems for both raw and treated water, pump systems, an operational reservoir, treatment plants, and related infrastructure, all of which provide water for municipal customers and uses within the City and extraterritorially by agreement. The Highlands Water and Sanitation District Water Diversion System water right is part of this integrated water supply system. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), when an integrated system is composed of several features, as is the case here, work on one feature of the system is considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the entire system. During this diligence period, the City has undertaken the following work, all of which is integral and prerequisite to the orderly development of this conditional water right. The City has continued to improve, operate and maintain its integrated water supply system, of which this conditional water right is a part. In particular, the City has spent in excess of $6 million in the construction, repair and improvement of its water system infrastructure and related infrastructure and projects, which are part of the efficiency, operation and maintenance of its integrated water supply system, to enable the City to more effectively provide water service to its existing and future customers. These efforts have allowed the City to continue to provide water service to the Highlands Water and Sanitation District’s former customers that is as efficient and reliable as the service provided to the City’s other customers, while maintaining this original structure as a source of supply as needed, and planning for future water supplies and demands.

Complete Statement of Plan for Augmentation: This plan for augmentation accounts for the evaporative losses from the Martin Ditch and Martin Pond System. With the exception of these evaporative losses, water diverted in-priority from Spring Creek into the Martin Ditch and Martin Pond System will return to Spring Creek.

Water will be diverted from Spring Creek and allowed to flow through the Martin Ditch into the Martin Pond System and then returned to Spring Creek. The recreation and piscatorial uses of these water rights are non-consumptive. Annual evaporative depletions from the Martin Ditch and Martin Pond System will total 0.21 a.f. This calculation is based upon estimated annual depletions of 3.25 a.f. and a total surface area for both the diversion and pond of 0.14 acre. Under this plan for augmentation, Applicant will divert water from Spring Creek to fill the Martin Pond system when the Martin Ditch is in priority. When there is a call made on the main stem of the Colorado River, Applicant will augment out-of-priority evaporative depletions by exchange using Applicant’s River District Contract described above. All evaporative losses associated with the Martin Ditch and Martin Pond System will be replaced with water from Wolford Mountain Reservoir or Ruedi Reservoir under the Applicant’s River District contract. The schedule of releases anticipates the replacement of all evaporative losses and includes an additional ten percent to account for transit losses. Senior water rights on Spring Creek or the Eagle River may also place a call at which point Applicant will cease diversions from the Martin Ditch. When the Martin Ditch is not in priority, evaporation from the Martin Pond System will cause the water level in the Pond to drop. If the augmentation plan is operated as described above, there will be no injury to other vested water rights. Fourth Claim For appropriative rights oF exChange.

Historic Use: Irr. of approx. 137.2 acres of hay and pasture under BWCD’s interest in the Robinson Ditch water rights. In Case No. 93CW319, the Court decreed that 360 af of annual consumptive-use credits are associated with said irrigation. In that case, the Court also decreed a change of use of BWCD’s Robinson Ditch rights to include augmentation. BWCD makes the credits available to contract allottees for use pursuant to an approved substitute supply plan or decree of Court. Statement of plan for augmentation: Applicant intends to augment out-of-priority evaporation from the Parcel B Pond by releases pursuant to a water allotment contract with the BWCD from either Ruedi Reservoir or Green Mountain Reservoir whenever there is a call on the Colorado River or the Roaring Fork River below its confluence with the Fryingpan River. Applicant has applied for a BWCD contract for 1.0 af. Whenever a call occurs on Snowmass Creek below the Williams Ditch No. 5, Applicant will cease storing water in the Pond and will release water from the Pond to offset any out-of-priority depletions.

Applicant anticipates total annual evaporation of 0.68 af, occurring between March and November of each year, with the Pond potentially being out-of-priority for one week each in April, May and Nov., two weeks in June and the entire months of July through Oct. See Exhibit B. It is assumed that all of-of-priority storage, including storage to replace evaporative losses from the Parcel B Pond, is 100% consumptive. 0.49 af of evaporation and transit losses will be replaced with releases pursuant to the BWCD contract from April through Oct. During time periods when a call occurs upstream of the confluence of the Roaring Fork River and Fryingpan River, Applicant will cease storing water in the Pond and will release water from the Pond to offset any out-of-priority depletions. Exhibit C presents the monthly evaporation analysis for the Parcel B Pond. Exhibit B presents the schedule for augmenting out-of-priority evaporation using releases pursuant to the BWCD contract. Exchange: Augmentation of the Parcel B Pond using water rights available by contract with the BWCD will be accomplished by exercise of an appropriative right of exchange, for which Applicant seeks a conditional right of exchange described as follows: Fryingpan River Exchange, Lower terminus of exchange reach: The confluence of the Roaring Fork River and the Fryingpan River located in the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Sec. 7, T 8 S, R 86 W, in the 6th P.M. at a point 750 ft from the south section line, and 1440 ft from the east section line.

BOOK REVIEW

‘FATAL’ A STUPID MISTAKE has serious ramifications in “Fatal,” John Lescroart’s latest stand-alone thriller.

Kate Jameson loves her life and marriage to Ron. She has two children, and her best friend for over 20 years is Beth, a San Francisco police detective. At a dinner party she meets another couple, Peter and Jill. For some reason she becomes obsessed with Peter. Kate tries to bury it, but the desire is too strong and she arranges a meeting with him in a hotel. They have a passionate encounter and then walk away from each other.

Soon after the liaison, Kate

by DAN SCHOENHOLZ / edited by WILL SHORTZ

is sitting with Beth in a cafe when a man walks in with a gun.

The events that happen and the aftermath will echo not only with Kate and Beth, but also with the people they care about.

Six months after the tragedy, Beth receives a case where a man’s body washes up on the beach. The dead man is Peter.

A story of normal people making insane decisions while trying to hide infidelity could easily get steered in the wrong direction and make the characters too unlikeable. Due to a sudden lack in judgment, everyone close becomes embroiled in the web of deceit that is necessary to keep the truth quiet.

Somehow Lescroart weaves this moral ambiguity into a tale that is both frustrating and gratifying.

His writing is constantly surprising, and the ending is perfect. Fans will not miss his regular series characters, while those who have never read his novels will discover a true master of the craft.
