THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

COMEDY THREE DAYS. TWELVE COMICS. Infinite laughs. It’s the return of the Aspen Laff Festival at the Wheeler Opera House this weekend, offering a brilliant mix of well-known headliners and new comedy discoveries. Local favorite John “Hippieman” Novosad opens the festival on Thursday with his one-man show “Hippieman’s Plan for America.” The Boulder-based comedian has been a frequent guest on the Wheeler stage since he won the theater’s “New Faces” competition in 2010. The new show debuted at Boulder’s Dairy Center for the Arts. His show is free, and he will emcee the rest of the festivities through the weekend. Friday’s lineup includes a short set by “Last Comic Standing” contestant Andrew Sleighter, followed by the brainy double bill of Ophira Eisenberg and Robert Dubac. Eisenberg, host of NPR’s “Ask Me Another,” emceed the sold-out live taping of “The Moth” at the Wheeler last year. Friday closes with Laff Fest newcomers Kira Soltanovich, from Oxygen’s “Girls Behaving Badly,” and stand-up veteran Tom Rhodes. And Saturday marks the return of Christopher Titus, making his third headlining Laff Fest appearance with a new show he’s dubbed “Angry Pursuit of Happiness.” If his past local performances are any indication, this is a can’tmiss set. Before Titus closes out the Laff Fest, it features Rachel Bradley, a double-bill of returning comics Pete Lee and Josh Sneed, and a short set by Emily Galati. Full festival passes are $112.50, day passes run $46.50 for Friday and $52.50 for Saturday. Each day’s lineup begins with a “Short Snort” set, for which tickets are just $12 and include a drink. Tickets available at the Wheeler box office and online at www. aspenshowtix.com.

Stand-up comedian Christopher Titus will close out the Aspen Laff Festival on Saturday, Feb. 21.

with JOHN COLSON

Elizabeth Warren, bright light in a dark sky IT’S TIME TO START a more realistic conversation about the prospects for the 2016 presidential race, and it’s time to add a new name to the list of viable candidates. And her name is Warren, Elizabeth Warren. As just about everybody knows, the looming Republican presidential-primary smackdown currently looks kind of like the old British Secret Service of James Bond fame — overly reliant on one man for all the heavy lifting and big assignments. And in this case that man has the name of Bush, Jeb Bush. That’s Jeb, short for John Ellis Bush, which stands for dynasty. As in, there’s been a Bush on every winning Republican presidential ticket since 1980. If that’s not a dynasty, I don’t know what is. And, of course, the Democrats have their own dynastic name at the top of their political heap, and her name is Clinton, Hillary Clinton, former U.S. secretary of state, former U.S. senator from New York, former first lady. Oh, and former candidate for the presidency, a bid that she lost seven years ago to the first black man ever elected to the office, whose name you probably know pretty well, but just in case you don’t, it’s Obama, Barack Obama. He’s the guy, in case you weren’t aware, whom too many religious-right or otherwise brain-dead nut-jobs refer to as the Antichrist, the “lying Muslim terrorist,” and any other bad name they can throw at him without resorting to the most basic racist descriptive term of them all, the “n” word, which is what they really want to use. The current political situation in our country is, to put it mildly, pathetic. As in, filled with pathos, which my 31-year-old Office Edition Webster’s dictionary defines as something that “arouses pity, sympathy or sorrow.” And the plain fact is that I feel sorry for us, as in U.S., that we seem to lack the imagination, foresight and wisdom to come up with candidates that are not deeply in thrall to the corporate, attorney-driven, selfcentered 1 percent whose only interest is in keeping themselves and their cohort right where they are, lording over the rest of us whose lives are increasingly desperate. Back in 2008, the progressives and liberals among us swung heavily behind Obama, who came seemingly out of left field (in every sense of that phrase), appeared to be the savior of everything that is egalitarian and wholesome about the American experiment, and offered an alternative to yet another Clinton presidency. Well, that didn’t work, did it? First Obama was blocked from achieving what

he might have by a combination of Republican and racist demagoguery. Then, he turned out to be just another shill for the corporate elite in far too many ways. But we can’t just give up, and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), to my way of thinking, is the best and brightest star in the dark political firmament today. Granted, she has said a hundred or so times that she doesn’t want the job of being president. But she didn’t want to run for the Senate post, either, which indicates she can be convinced of the need this country has for her brand of leadership. Warren has proven to be an enemy of the corporations and financial wheelerdealers that took us down the road to ruin in 2008 and engineered the worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression. She is savvy and scrappy, as she has proved time and time again in battling against the interests of those determined to maintain the status quo, and for the interests of a general public clamoring for reform in both government and the economy. She comes from the middle class, not the silver-spoon culture, she has argued for a more equal parceling out of the American Dream, and she has fought against the Wall Streeters who want to control every aspect of our nation’s economic life for their own profit. And she appears to have put the fear of, well, Warren into a broad spectrum of people who don’t want to see her run for president. Right-wingers and centrists are falling all over each other in a mad scramble to do anything, anything at all, to forestall a Warren presidential bid. Hillary backers are cautioning everyone that a Warren candidacy would hand the presidency over to a Republican, which is a frightening prospect, I must admit. But another plain fact is that Hillary has not yet declared her own candidacy, and that she is cynically teasing the electorate with calculated political precision that indicates that she, like many others, simply assumes the run is hers for the asking, and so is the Oval Office. Republicans seem to have the same assumption as they move to anoint Jebby Bush (that’s what his wife calls him) with a similar aura of invincibility, in order to stave off potential primary challengers. I, for one, consider such assumptions a mistake, one that has grave ramifications for our immediate future. And I say, “Run, Warren, Run!”

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Sixteen silver dollars frame the text of the “Cross of Gold” speech, by William Jennings Bryan — Aspen’s favorite politician — in this poster from 1896.

SILVER DOLLARS Many of us, especially those who have spent time in Nevada’s casinos,

keep a few silver dollars in our dresser drawers. Did you ever realize the silver came from Aspen’s mines? For years, commercial silver was used primarily for ornamental status symbols such as silver utensils and serving trays. But that did not make a sizable market. Then the U.S. government began minting silver dollars in 1878, just before Aspen was founded. The Philadelphia mint coined some of the dollars, but most of them were minted and distributed in the Western states. Much of the silver came from the Comstock mines in Nevada, which was sent to the San Francisco and Carson City, Nevada, mints. The Denver mint struck silver dollars only in 1906. Dollars made with Aspen silver most likely entered circulation in 1880 or 1881, when the mines started shipping ore. The Bland Allison Act of 1878 set it all in motion. The act required the U.S. mints to purchase as much as $4 million ($86 million in today’s dollars) of silver monthly. That amount was mandated to be

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

used in coins and to make ingots to back paper currency. These requirements created a market for all of the silver produced in the U.S. In addition, the act set the price that the federal government would pay for a unit of silver, as a ratio to

dollar as equivalent to an ounce of silver. But the precious-metal content of the coin was only three-fourths of an ounce. When the mints bought silver from the mines and smelters, they paid with silver dollars, and the 25 percent

CHECK YOUR ‘SAVE FOR A RAINY DAY’ HIDING SPOTS FOR ANY SILVER DOLLARS YOU SQUIRRELED AWAY. the price of a unit of of gold. That 16-1 ratio meant that if an ounce of gold commonly sold for $16, then the government would pay $1 for an ounce of silver. Subsequent legislation increased the price of silver to more than $1 (around $24 today) per ounce. The public regarded a silver

Febr u ar y 19 - Febr u ar y 25, 20 15

difference in value covered the mint’s costs. The mint also paid for shipping when a mine shipped at least 10,000 ounces (625 pounds) of silver at a time. After the mint converted metal to dollars, it also paid to ship the coins back. It cost $8 ($180 today) to ship 1,000 silver

dollars from San Francisco to banks in Salt Lake City. As the price of silver increased in the market, the mints lost money, and government slowed the manufacture of coinage. Aspen shipped out 200,000 ounces of silver in July, 1884 — not a peak production year — and 300,000 in July 1885. In August, 1885 U.S. mints coined a million silver dollars. In October they turned out 2.7 million silver dollars. Overall, between 1878 and 1885, U.S. mints made 200 million silver dollars. At one time, a pocketful of silver dollars felt like substantial winnings from Nevada’s casinos. But then the gambling business converted from silver coins to plastic ones. Check your “save for a rainy day” hiding spots for any silver dollars you squirreled away. In 2015, an 1885 silver dollar, which possibly contains silver from Aspen, sells for $60 to $200. But if you think of that dollar as a souvenir of Aspen’s mining era, it’s priceless. 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.

AN ARTICLE IN THE ASPEN DAILY TIMES on March 16, 1950, described the interest Aspenites had in night skiing on Aspen Mountain, noting that “enthusiasm about night skiing caused the Skiing Corporation to resume skiing from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. nightly after a shut-down of one week. According to Dick Durrance, head of the Aspen Skiing Corporation, new lights and music have been added and that the night program is especially designed for townspeople who work during the day giving everyone a chance to ski during the week.” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at http://aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

by SEBASTIAN FOLTZ

FAT BIKES: BIG WHEEL’N THROUGH THE WINTER

WHILE THE COLORADO high country might have a relatively short mountain biking season, it’s starting to look like a new kind of riding is on the rise with winter fat-tire biking. With roughly 4-inch-wide balloon tires that almost turn a 26-inch rim into a 29er, fat-tire bikes, or fat bikes, make winter trail riding manageable. At close to two times the tire width of an average mountain bike, fat bikes put more surface area on the ground to keep you stable in slick conditions and even let you charge through fresh snow. With origins in the world of custombuilt biking, fat bikes have been around for more than a decade, but an increasing number of companies have been bringing them into the realm of mass production in recent years — and their popularity continues to grow.

FIELD TESTED, GEAR OF THE WEEK APPROVED

Jumping at the chance to take a monster-truck-of-a-bike for a spin, we took to the trail last season for a

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

quick field test. First concern: How much harder are those oversized tires going to be to pedal? As it turns out, they handle a lot better than anticipated. That said, they require a little more pedal power, especially when you take to the snow. We found that the bikes performed well on a variety of terrain. Even on slick sidewalks and freshly plowed roads the wide wheels found a way to stick. The real test, though, was taking them to the trail. That’s where the fun really kicked in. On packed-out hiking paths the bikes really held their ground. They were a blast on rolling hills. Both climbing and descending, the tires did their job. But you likely won’t want to take them up a steeper grade that you might ordinarily charge in the summertime. At a certain point a tire can only do so much. Still, if you’re up for pushing up a steeper section, the ride back down might be well worth it. As for deeper snow, the bikes were tested in a few inches of fresh. They

Febr u ar y 19 - Febr u ar y 25, 20 15

handled pretty well, but wouldn’t necessarily be recommended for long stretches through untracked snow. Three inches of fresh seemed like a good threshold.

inflated to less than 15 psi. After riding both tire designs, we found that the tires we had a little trouble with were also noticeably more inflated.

DON’T TREAD ON ME

THE LAST WORD

Tires are key in any mountain bike. And when it comes to snow and fatbikes, a good tread pattern is especially important. After testing two different tires, we discovered that a nobbier, wider tread pattern performed better when really attacking the trail. The tire with less rigid knobs that were patterned closer together had a tendency to get snow clumped between the treads, making them less effective. Tire pressure may have been a factor. With fat bikes it’s recommended that riders let air out of the tires to give them more bounce and more surface area contacting the ground. The tires themselves provide suspension. Most fat bikes are fully rigid without front or rear suspension. Unlike a standard mountain bike, fat tires should be

With retail prices between $1,000 and $2,500, fat bikes come at a cost. That’s a big investment for what could end up as more of a novelty. But for anyone serious about biking, they’re definitely a solid way to keep up conditioning in the winter months without finding a milder climate. They they can definitely be fun, and are also said to perform well in sand, mud and loose dirt. With the large-volume tires, they can support more weight as well, making them an option for bike touring — if you’re not concerned about speed. A fat bike could make a solid option for any wintertime bike commuter or bar-bound patron willing to brave the cold.

WINEINK

A RHÔNE WAVE ROLLS INTO ASPEN FRESH ON THE HEELS OF THE PINOT POSSE, the Rhône Wave is about to roll through Aspen. “We should call it the Rhône Rave,” said Cris Cherry of Paso Robles’ Villa Creek Cellars with a chuckle, “because it is such a great party.” The Rhône Wave is a trip undertaken by the top West Coast producers of wines KELLY J. HAYES made from grapes traditionally found in France’s Rhône wine region. This upcoming Tuesday night, Feb. 24, at 8 p.m., they will showcase these palate-pleasing wines with the cuisine of Chef Bryan Moscatello at Element 47 restaurant in The Little Nell hotel. Naturally this is bringing a tsunami of excitement to winelovers. “We’re hosting the best winemakers of Rhône-style wines in California and Washington,” said Csaba Oveges, czar of the dining room. “Seven producers altogether, with four courses, all served at your private table. It’s a wine experience tailored to you and your guests.” Staged by CS Wine Imports owners John Salamanski and his partner, Penny, The Rhône Wave concept mimics that of the Pinot Posse gatherings that have been coming to the valley the last 10 years. Simply put, winemakers gather together with great chefs, invite the public and have a party. The opportunity to taste a number of wines with similar characteristics made by different hands in distinct regions is what makes these events unique. Well, that and the bacchanalia served up at each of the dinners. Some basics: the Rhône region runs through the heart of France, hugging the Rhône River as it flows from its source high in the Swiss Alps to the Mediterranean Sea. In the Northern Rhône, the dominant, in fact the only permissible red grape is Syrah, though it can be blended with a small amount of white wine. The names Cornas and Hermitage are the most well known. To the south, it is Châteauneufdu-Pape that brings acclaim, a wine that can be made from

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

13 permitted grapes, the most important being Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault, along with the aforementioned Syrah. The red Rhônes can be tannic, highly concentrated and darkly delicious. The whites, made from grapes like Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier, can be floral and taste like springtime. The varietals travel well and have taken hold in other wine regions, especially, America’s left coast. This year’s group of seven will give wine lovers an overview of the Rhône movement and its evolution from California to Washington. Just a decade or two ago, many of these makers were starting out and the grapes they are now harvesting were in their infancy. Today, with many more harvests and more mature vines available, the American Rhône movement is improving and becoming more interesting with each vintage. Moving from south to north, the Wave picks up steam in Ojai, where the legendary Adam Tolmach has been making wines since 1983 at The Ojai Vineyard. Prolific is an understatement, as Adam produces small lots of up to 24 different bottlings a year, much of it Syrah from the sweet spots of Santa Barbara’s best vineyards. “I’m a believer in Syrah from cooler climates than some others,” he said recently. “The wines are a little more expressive and peppery.” Santa Barbara’s “Urban Wine Trail” and the “Funk Zone” is home to the larger than life Seth Kunin who makes a number of blends as well as single variety, single vineyard, Counoise and Carignane and Syrah. Just up the coast is an area many have come to call the “California Rhône,” the Westside of Paso Robles. Two winemakers, Cris Cherry of Villa Creek and Matt Trevisan of Linne Calado (named for the soils that dominate the region) will bring not just their expressive wines but also their expressive personalities to the table. Cherry has roots in Vail where his father Bob ran “The Saloon” in Minturn for years. He inherited a love of fine foods, wines and blunt honesty from his dad, before transplanting himself to Paso and becoming a winemaking

restaurateur. His Villa Creek Restaurant and Wine Bar is a staple in downtown Paso and he has become a virtual ambassador for the Westside. There will be more about Mr. Cherry and his menagerie in a future article. The distinguished and eclectic wines of Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts will be representing the turf a little further north on the California Coast. Hard to find, the Arnot-Roberts allocations are significantly insignificant: This is a great chance to taste some of the most deftly handled wines in America. Raised in Napa, but now working out of Healdsburg in Sonoma, the pair make cool-climate, low-alcohol Syrah, including their offerings from Clary Ranch, among a myriad

of other international varietals, including rosé from Touriga Nacional and Trousseau. The Wave crests with David O’Reilly who will be bringing, and generously pouring, wines from the Owen Roe label made with the exquisite fruit from Washington state’s finest vineyards. The ExUmbris is a wonderfully affordable version of Washington Syrah and the Chapel Block….well it’s worth the trip alone. There you have it. Quite the mouthful. Do not miss. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@ aol.com

UNDER THE INFLUENCE LINNE COLODO 2012 RISING TIDES I normally write these, but in this case Matt Trevisan’s winemaker notes are too thrilling to not include: “37 percent Grenache, 34 percent Syrah, 29 percent Mourvèdre. When you drop down the face of a wave, the journey that unfolds is unique to only that wave and then it is lost. With its almost equal parts GSM, this wine is much like that wave. Every time you open the bottle you are not sure if it is going to be a left or a right, barrel, closeout, or the best ride of your life. But what you can be assured of is that it is going to be fun to be out in the waves and hanging with your best friends. The wine is intoxicating to the brain, lush and addictive. The chewy resonance of well-sourced oak and deep fruit lines keeps the wine in check for the next sip. Paddle in, take the drop.”

GOLDEN DIP worthy of dunking into while watching the Oscars Ask any Indian person why we love turmeric so much, and you just might want to cancel your appointments for the rest of the day. In its raw form, it’s not much to look at. Much like its cousin, ginger, turmeric is grown for its nubby brown roots. So if you happen to find it in the produce section, it often is covered in soil and isn’t all that attractive. But scratch its thin skin with your fingernail and this root will reveal an inner beauty: flesh as vibrant as a summer sunset, and a scent redolent of earth, pepper and mustard. In fact, while turmeric is used widely in Asian and African cuisines, you’ve probably been eating it all your life here in the U.S. without even realizing it. Turmeric is what gives ballpark mustard that distinctive yellow hue. And back in the day in Europe it was used to dye food, cloth and fingers (!) a gorgeous golden orange (for a fraction of the price of saffron). Ground turmeric turns up in most any Indian recipe, where it adds a peppery-loamy flavor that provides a warm backbone to our cooking. Saute a little with onions, cumin seeds and garlic, and that’s the beginning of many a great dish. Add a little to your morning eggs. Make a marinade with oil and garlic and rub it onto a piece of fish. Or, if you and your friends are gathering in front of the television to watch the Oscars, consider trying this golden dip made with tahini (sesame paste) and honey. Set it up

on a platter of fancy crudite: blanched haricot verts, florets of neon green romanesco cauliflower, wedges of persimmon and kohlrabi, and paperthin slices of watermelon radish.

EGGS DELIVER an Oscar-worthy performance if properly cooked Deviled eggs for Oscars night? Sure they’re a staple at picnics and backyard barbecues, but when it comes to a special occasion, they are so Cinderella before the ball. But let’s say you want to play fairy godmother and dress them up for an Oscar night viewing party. You can do it in two simple strokes. First, take care to boil the eggs properly (which can be a revelation for anyone who’s never tasted a properly boiled egg). Second, sparkle up the usual filling with some creme fraiche, Parmesan and good quality truffle oil. Shazam! You’re looking at a truly dazzling appetizer. And it couldn’t be easier to prepare. And despite the name, they don’t need to be deviled (meaning spicy). For my Oscars treat, I went with indulgent over spicy. But let’s start with the boiling. It’s only because most of us have never tasted a properly boiled egg that we believe the whites should be chewy. The problem is that protein always becomes tough when it is boiled. My solution is to boil an egg by not

boiling it. Really. The trick is to start the eggs in cold water, then pull them off the heat just as soon as the water reaches the boiling point, cover the pot and let them cook in the residual heat of the water. You’ll be amazed at the wonderful tenderness of the finished product. And by the way, I “cook” the eggs for just 10 minutes, which leaves the centers of the yolks translucent. If you’d prefer a more solid center, let the eggs stay in the hot water for 12 minutes. How do you avoid one of those famously ugly green lines between the yolk and the white? By chilling the egg in a bowl of ice water as soon as it is finished cooking. Once it is cooled completely, peel and cut the egg in half, then marvel at a flawless yellow yolk, tender white and no green line. And by the way, this is one of those recipes for which an older egg is better. Eggs that are too fresh are just about impossible to peel. Now just dress up the eggs with those designer ingredients and it’s ready for the red carpet. – Sara Moulton

OSCAR-WORTHY SNACKS

STUFFED EGGS WITH TRUFFLE OIL Want to make these even fancier? Use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip instead of a plastic bag to pipe the yolk filling into the egg whites. Start to finish: 35 minutes, plus chilling Servings: 12 6 large eggs 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons creme fraiche 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese 2 teaspoons truffle oil Salt and ground black pepper Fresh chives, finely chopped

Fill a medium bowl with ice and water. Place the eggs in a small saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Set the pan over high heat and bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water boils, remove the pan from the heat, cover the pan and set aside for exactly 10 minutes (use a timer). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the ice water and let them cool completely. When the eggs are cool, crack them

all over and, starting at the wide end of each egg and making sure to get under the membrane (which makes it easier to get the shell off ), peel the eggs while holding them under cold running water. Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and set aside the whites. Place the egg yolks in a mesh strainer and use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to press the yolks through and into a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, mustard, cheese and truffle oil. Mix well, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into a zip-close plastic bag. Cut off one of the lower corners of the bag, then gently squeeze the bag to pipe the yolk mixture evenly into the hollow of each egg white until nicely mounded. Arrange the filled eggs on a platter, then garnish each with chives. ---FOR BIG FLAVOR, little fat, consider powdered peanut butter Powdered peanut butter sounds, pardon the pun, a bit nuts. While fitness buffs sang its praises when it first hit the scene a few years ago, I scoffed. But after seeing it take up more and more space on the shelves of my local supermarket, I caved and bought it for the first time. At first I stayed fairly traditional in my usage: I added a scoop to my chocolate or banana morning smoothie, or added it to cookie dough to make a lower calorie peanut butter cookie.

But it grew on me. Soon, I was adding it to curries and sprinkling it on my oatmeal or over frozen yogurt. It really is quite good. Powdered peanut butter is just what it sounds like — peanut butter that has had all of the moisture and most of the fat removed. You’re left with a fine powder (similar in texture to cocoa powder) that has the flavor of regular peanut butter. It can be used as is or reconstituted. For the latter, you just stir 1 tablespoon of water or other liquid (such as almond milk) into 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter until smooth. One serving (2 tablespoons) of reconstituted peanut butter has a fraction of the fat and calories of traditional peanut butter — 45 calories, 5 grams of protein, 1.5 grams of fat and 1 gram of sugar. Compare that to the 188 calories, 16 grams of fat, 8 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar in the real deal. I love the creamy decadence of real peanut butter as much as anyone, but it’s worth considering powdered if there are times when you want the flavor with a leaner profile. Plus, I find powdered peanut butter can be used in ways the regular stuff can’t. For example, this recipe for salty-sweet peanut popcorn. It is awards season, after all. So I figured I’d share my favorite popcorn treat. The recipe is simple, with just enough sweetness from a hit of honey to balance the salty peanut flavor. Using coconut oil for the popping rounds out the flavor. It’s truly addictive! – Melissa D’Arabian

SALTY-SWEET PEANUT-HONEY POPCORN Prefer the microwave? Use unflavored plain popcorn and pop according to package directions, then transfer to a large bowl and proceed with the recipe starting with the honey. Start to finish: 10 minutes Servings: 8 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil 1/2 cup popcorn kernels 1/4 cup honey 3 tablespoons powdered peanut butter 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

In a heavy, large saucepan over medium, heat the coconut oil. Sprinkle in the popcorn kernels and give a quick stir with a wooden spoon to coat the kernels in oil. Continue cooking and stirring until the first kernel pops. Once it does, cover the pan and, using oven mitts, grasp the pan by both the handle and the lid, then gently shake the pan (on the heat) to keep the kernels moving as they continue to pop. Do this for about 2 minutes, or until there is a 2-second delay between pops. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Be very careful; the popcorn will be very hot. Drizzle the honey over the popcorn, then use wooden spoons to toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the peanut butter and salt over the popcorn, then toss again to coat.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JILL BEATHARD

MAKE IT Ricard pastis Rye whiskey Sweet vermouth Chocolate syrup Bitters

THE RICARD I don’t normally like the flavor of anise in liquor — for those of you who, like I was until recently, aren’t familiar with that term, think of absinthe. But keeping that to a minimum and adding sweet flavors over it, Danielle Becker, of Ricard restaurant in Snowmass Base Village, has concocted something I can get behind. To make the restaurant’s signature drink, Danielle starts by just washing a glass in Ricard pastis, an anise-based spirit. She then mixes rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, chocolate liqueur and bitters and pours it in — a strange combination but surprisingly delicious and easy to drink. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher Gunilla Asher, who died June 2 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers — to Gunner!

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

With little snow up high, it’s time to try other winter activities.

IT’S NOT ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE CROSS-COUNTRY STRUGGLES

AS WE ALL HAVE BEEN clearly aware of, the snow conditions on the mountains are less than ideal at the moment. Aspen Skiing Co. has done a fabulous job working with what we have, but their grooming techniques are not always a match for the intensely warm weather we’ve been having. Because of this, we have to find other ways to entertain ourselves. Some have dug their mountain bikes out of the garage and headed downvalley. Some have focused their energy indoors with yoga classes and gym workouts. Others have chosen to start après a few hours earlier and skip athletic activity altogether. Why the latter option has often been a choice of mine, this weekend I decided to try something BARBARA different. So I strapped PLATTS a pair of small sticks to my feet and attempted one of those sports that almost everyone talks about: crosscountry skiing. I have attempted this sport once before entirely as a means to an end. It was during the holidays when my family was in town. We went to the Pine Creek Cookhouse for dinner one night. The only option for getting there was via sleigh ride or cross-country skis. Half my family chose the skis to get us to dinner and back. We had a great time, even though we were all slightly intoxicated on the return journey and fell more times than I would like to admit. After that adventure I knew I wanted to try this alternative snow sport again, but kept putting it off by opting for downhill skiing.

Last weekend, I finally got out there again. A group of friends and family were planning on going to Pine Creek Cookhouse after skiing some backcountry. My boyfriend, puppy and I decided to use this as an opportunity to rent some boots and skis and hit the cross-country trails in the area. Cross-country skis are about a third of the width of downhill skis and probably about a fourth of the weight. Attaching them to the cross-country ski boots only takes one click, making it feel completely

different. At times, I couldn’t tell what I resembled more: a disabled penguin or a dog being forced to wear a pair of booties for the first time. Either way, it was not a pretty

I WAS THEN INFORMED BY MY INTENSELY ATHLETIC COUSINS, WHO CAN AND DO SKI CIRCLES AROUND ME, THAT THE FEAT I HAD CONQUERED THAT DAY WAS NOT A FEAT AT ALL. THESE TRADITIONAL SKIS WERE THE EASY OPTION. FOR A REAL CHALLENGE I NEEDED TO TRY SKATE SKIING. IT WAS MORE OF A WORKOUT AND ONE COULD GET GOING A LOT FASTER. APPARENTLY, OUR PUPPY WOULD LIKE IT MORE TOO BECAUSE WE COULD ACTUALLY KEEP UP WITH HIM. LIKE ANY ATHLETIC TO DO IN ASPEN…THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING OR SOMEONE THAT MAKES YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE JUST BARELY SKIMMED THE SURFACE OF OUTDOOR ATHLETICISM. unstable no matter if one is just standing there or actually attempting to glide forward with them. The expert cross-country skier looks like a professional ballet dancer on the snow, gliding gracefully along as if the sticks on their feet and the poles on their hands were simply extensions of their body. The novice cross-country skier (that’s me) looks drastically

sight. It took me nearly 10 minutes just to figure out how to get the boots attached and another 10 to understand how to start moving. However, as the morning trudged on, I began to pick up the basics of the sport, learning when to glide forward, when to plant my poles and when to accept that I was going to slam to the ground no matter what I did. Near the end of the adventure,

after a few Smuggler Hot Chocolate drinks at Pine Creek Cookhouse that made the entire experience well worth it, I was achy in locations I didn’t even know I had muscles in. It was OK though, because I felt accomplished for trying out a new sport and was already busy planning my next cross-country adventure. I was still a novice, but figured I could be an expert in no time. I was then informed by my intensely athletic cousins, who can and do ski circles around me, that the feat I had conquered that day was not a feat at all. These traditional skis were the easy option. For a real challenge I needed to try skate skiing. It was more of a workout and one could get going a lot faster. Apparently, our puppy would like it more too because we could actually keep up with him. Like any activity in Aspen … there’s always something or someone that makes you realize you have just barely skimmed the surface of outdoor athleticism. I guess the next up is skate skiing then. Dear God, help me. Barbara Platts enjoys cross-country skiing but is still very ready to have snow on the mountains. At least out there she looks like a skier instead of some kind of athletically challenged penguin. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

POWDER DAYS WILL ALWAYS BE POWDER DAYS, but so much else about our local ski mountains seems to change with every passing year. Think about it: In 1941, Lift One on Aspen Mountain was dedicated with the 10th Mountain troops standing witness; today, we jump on the gondi for a lunchtime lap, giving little though to those who carved and crafted the slopes we now ski. And at Aspen Highlands, the famed patrol ski jump over Cloud 9 restaurant (pictured in 1975 on the cover of this magazine) is no longer. But rockin’ lunch parties at Cloud 9 strive to keep the maverick mountain’s mojo alive. As a longtime local and journalist, I figured I kinda knew all about Aspen’s history — the town and the ski mountains. But recent tours on Aspen Mountain and Aspen Highlands proved me wrong. Led by guides Tony Vagneur and Jane Click, respectively, these skiing tours are offered by the Aspen Historical Society free of charge. Given the price of a lift ticket these days, I guess that’s more than fair. Especially when you consider this tidbit from Click’s weekly tour: In 1958, season passes to Aspen Highlands sold for $100-$150; a daily lift ticket cost $4.50. This is just one nugget of history I gleaned in the tours, which schuss from point to point and from lift to lift in a one-hour whirlwind of local wisdom. Don’t believe me? Take this pop quiz: • Where is the cemetery on Ajax? Tourtellote Park. • What are the runs on Highlands named after? Hotels and restaurants in town (Limelight, Boomerang, etc.). Really? I’ve skied these mountains countless times and have never given such things a second thought. But this information – and some you’ll find on the pages that follow or by taking a ski history tour — helps shed light on the Aspen community and its ski hills.

“THE MEN WHO DREAMED OF — AND DELIVERED — ASPEN MOUNTAIN ARE THE REAL THING. THE REAL SKI PIONEERS. AS A KID, WE SKIED AND SKIED AND SKIED... ALL THANKS TO THEM.” – TONY VAGNEUR, ASPEN MOUNTAIN TOUR GUIDE

ASPEN MOUNTAIN ABOVE: Before Aspen Mountain was developed as a resort, ski pioneers — most of whom came to Aspen through a connection to the 10th Mountain Division — thought Mount Hayden was the place to develop. Here, George Tekoucich looks at Hayden from Ajax in 1941; and in 2015, Aspen Mountain ambassador Tony Vagneur recounts the debate over skiing in Aspen from the same spot during his weekly history tour. RIGHT: Aspen Mountain was once home to many working mines, including the Compromise Mine at the top of the Little Nell run. Here, a tour group enters the mine in 1995; in 2015, Vagneur shares mining lore with his tour groups. Among the stories he tells are several about mid-mountain Tourtelotte Park (far right, circa 1890), which was once a town. “If you come up here in the dark, legend has it you can hear the miners who lived here — and are now buried beneath the slopes,” he cautions. Of course Vagneur tempers his ghost stories with real stories about the people who made Ajax a reality and the oddities of Aspen’s flagship ski hill like shrines (below), World Cup races and more.

ASPEN HIGHLANDS TOP LEFT: Independently owned by Whip Jones and his family for decades, the maverick Aspen Highlands ski area —and its classic two-seat Loges Peak lift (pictured in 1965) — was transformed when its ownership changed hands in 1993. The modernization was completed a couple of years later, when the Aspen Skiing Co. built the Deep Temerity lift as an easier way out of Highland Bowl. TOP RIGHT: The mid-mountain Merry-GoRound restaurant — pictured in 1980 and in 2015 — underwent a massive renovation before the 2011-12 ski season. Its deck remains the best place to catch some rays while watching skiers bash the bumps on Scarlett’s, however.

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | JUÁREZ, MEXICO

A BIRTHDAY IN THE DESERT THE RAIN STARTED BEFORE DAWN — a pounding, bitter-cold downpour — so Pastor Galván and I decided to forego the pig roast. Therefore, the huge El Chino got to live for at least another week. It was Jan. 30, my birthday. Many months earlier the patients at Vision in Action, Galván’s mental asylum in Juárez, Mexico, had promised me a fiesta and pig roast in celebration. Although I have no interest in birthday celebrations, this was a gesture of kindness that I couldn’t resist. However, when I mentioned it in passing to various friends and family members, a number of them asked if they could come — my college roommate from Brunswick, Maine; my sister, Sandy Smith from Carbondale; my oldest son, Jay, his wife, Jenny, and my 13-year-old grandson, Walker, from Denver; as well as others from El Paso, Santa Fe, Lubbock and Denver. Two or three years ago this would have been inconceivable; Juárez was the world’s most dangerous city then so I always went alone. Now, however, I had a safe route and wanted them to see the extraordinary work that Galván has been doing for the mentally ill for almost two decades now. But I was also concerned as to how

they would react. This is not like the United States, where a facility like this would be highly regulated and relatively neat and clean. There would be staff with well-pressed uniforms and it would receive a reliable monthly reimbursement for each patient. Here in Vision in Action, discarded vegetables are used for food, patients function as staff members, everyone wears a ragged medley of cast-off clothing and broken shoes, many of the men are jammed in one large room where they have to sleep on mats on the floor, and the funding is erratic with little government support. Nonetheless, there is a sense of caring and dignity here that is far more important than the status of the facilities. This is what breaks the isolation that causes people to do horrible things. Would my friends see this or would they just be focused on the physical conditions? Would they understand what life would be like for these patients if it were not for this facility — living on the streets of Juárez, subsisting on garbage, always in danger of being killed by gangs? Would they understand Galván’s constant struggle for money to keep the buildings heated in the biting cold of the desert

winters or to buy medications? The mentally ill are at the bottom of society, lower than prisoners because they have no voice. Would my visitors see that Galván’s voice and advocacy was more important than well-pressed uniforms or modern buildings? When we entered the main patio where most of the patients spend their days, several rushed forward to greet us. One — a stocky young man named Yogi — can only make shrieking noises but they’re noises of excitement. To him, the simple fact that we have come from outside to show we’re interested in his life is a source of great pleasure. He immediately asked me to take his photo with my grandson, Walker. A tiny woman named Elia Zoto came over to hug me. She can only say two or three words but she has an innate sense of when other patients are hurting and knows how to console them. As a result, she is more effective in terms of calming and consoling other patients than a burly orderly with a needle full of medication would be. Walker then took one of the bags of candy I brought and began to distribute it. To my great pleasure, he was totally at ease here.

Galván showed my friends everything. This isn’t like one of many legislative tours I went on when I was a State Representative and serving on Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee, tours where you would be carefully steered away from the trouble areas. For example, he showed us the large room where the men all sleep on mats on the floor, warm but jammed together. Should they have to live in these conditions? Of course not, but how to raise the money for a new building for them? We then go into a room where a huge birthday cake awaits us, as well as two striking looking women and a beautiful little girl named Valeria with what looks like an Eskimo hood. One of the women is Minerva Perea, a soprano who sings in an opera group at the University of Juárez. The other is her sister, Jezabel. Her daughter Valeria carefully places the candles in the cake. Then Minerva sings — Italian opera in the desert! Galván makes a short sermon and a woman named Megan Culip translates. She is a chaplain in a 500 patient state mental hospital in New Jersey, has come out at her own expense to learn about Vision in Action and will be spending a week. We then distributed clothing. My sister not only had parkas and ski jackets donated by friends in Aspen and Carbondale but two fur coats that a friend gave her. A mental asylum may be an odd place to wear a fur coat but what counts is that it’s warm. I’m not a church person but what I’ve learned in these many years of border visits is that people of faith like Galván are the ones who have the courage and commitment to take care of those who have been abandoned by their governments. As we devoured the birthday cake, I could see that my friends and family had recognized this commitment. That made it a birthday to remember. Former Aspenite Morgan Smith served in the Colorado House of Representatives and as Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture. He lives in Santa Fe and makes monthly trips to the border to document life there. He can be reached at Morgan-smith@comcast.net.

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

by ANDREW TRAVERS

ART MATTERS AT THE ASPEN ART MUSEUM THE NUMBER OF ANNUAL VISITORS to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City has doubled over the past two decades, from 1.6 million in 1995 to 3.2 million last year. To explain this boom, Glenn Lowry, the museum’s director, held up his smartphone to a crowd at the Aspen Art Museum, where he recently gave a talk with his local counterpart, Heidi Zuckerman. Lowry argued that the cultural shift from analog to digital, and from passive media to social networking, has helped create a generation that’s actively engaged with contemporary art. The rise in interest is keeping his museum’s galleries packed, and prompting a new debate among museum directors about how to prevent overcrowding. “The museums that have been successful have created conversations that people want to be a part of,” he said. “What was a solitary experience when we were growing up has now become a public experience. What was thought of as a bastion of quiet thinking has actually become a social space about participation. That’s why young people are flocking to places like the Museum of Modern Art. They want to be with other young people looking at art, thinking about art, talking about art and oh, yes, maybe picking up a date.” The standing-room-only crowd at Lowry’s talk, I think, helped illustrate his point. In a wide-ranging conversation, Zuckerman and Lowry touched on Lowry’s academic background (medieval Islamic art), on his biggest mistakes (getting beat by the Whitney on doing a Jeff Koons retrospective), the role of an art director (“be a catalyst”) and into more far-flung territory like the Charlie Hebdo murders, how art can create social change and inspire tolerance, and why art matters. At one point in their conversation Zuckerman noted, as she often has, that the Aspen Art Museum is the only accredited art museum on the Western Slope. She also argued that, because of that, Aspenites may have a skewed perspective on museums. “I think a lot of people in our community don’t actually understand

what role a museum plays in a community,” she said. “How it is a civic building, how it is a cultural center, how it should be supported by the local government. One of the things that’s amazing about the Aspen Art Museum is that we are in this building today because 100 percent of it was funded privately. Not a single public dollar went to fund this building. It’s something that we take great pride in, but it’s also problematic for the future of this community if people don’t understand the role of art and culture moving forward.”

The Lowry event itself, to me, indicated that the local community at large is actually investing in, and engaging with, the museum. An overflowing crowd greeted Lowry’s talk, spilling out of the boardroom and into the hallway — this was on a Friday night during President’s Day weekend in Aspen, when there’s no shortage of entertainment options in town. The audience included museum board members and donors, as you’d expect, but I also ran into a local contractor, a city councilman and service industry folks — a cross-section of Aspen and an indication that perhaps, finally, the controversy over the new building is passing as it becomes a gathering

place where all of Aspen can go to discuss and learn about art. Lowry’s talk launched the museum’s new “Art Matters” series, one in an expanding slate of lecture series and residencies at the museum that speak to the kind of new social museum experience Lowry mentioned.

The talks are free and frequent. Some, like Lowry’s, give a local audience perspective on the art world as a whole from its leading figures, while others offer unique insight into the exhibitions at the Aspen Art Museum. Its writer in residence, former Artforum editor and chief curator at The Kitchen, Tim Griffin, in late January offered a talk on the current Nick Relph show at the museum, which I found indispensible in trying to wrap my head around Relph’s challenging — and at first baffling — show at the museum, which runs through March 8. On Thursday, Feb. 26, Ali Subotnick, curator at the Hammer Museum, will give a talk on a newly opened exhibition by Italian artist Roberto Cuoghi. Lowry took note of the energy in the Aspen Art Museum and offered some high praise, not only for its exhibitions but for a hard-to-define spirit it exudes. “One of the things I get to do is travel extensively around the world looking at art museums — small and large, private and public — and you come to very quickly have a sense of the ones that have energy and life,” he said. “And it’s not just a function of clever architecture or a brilliant director or a wonderful staff — its more alchemical than that. And I felt it this summer when [the Aspen Art Museum was] under construction and I feel it profoundly now. There’s something that is really energetic and interesting that’s taking place here. It’s a perfect kind of foil for the energy of the mountain.” atravers@aspentimes.com

NOTEWORTHY

‘PALE HARVEST’ SET IN MODERN TIMES, in a small “passing-over place” in northern Utah, Idaho author Braden Hepner’s debut novel follows Jack Selvedge, a 20-year-old dairy farmer working his grandfather’s land, struggling against his own indifference. Young Rebekah Rainsford shakes things up when she returns to town, fleeing her abusive father. She becomes Selvedge’s obsession, a symbol of hope. “She had brought with her an essence. … It was a sullen thing she carried, in some ways frightening and in some ways appealing and in all ways maddening. It was something he needed but could never get in the remote and meager collection of houses.” As their relationship forms, her dark history forces him to confront the chasm between his ideals and reality while two major betrayals threaten everything.

Hepner captures the nuances of the dramatic landscape of the Cache Valley, where cultivated fields give way to desert and mountains rise up against open skies. He employs a meditative language drawn from the land, delivering the richness of Selvedge’s inner life: “On the gentle hillside bones stood from the sand and yellow grass like ruins, the white architecture of death. How to describe what flowers grew from those bones in the springtime. Of deep purple and yellow, blue and red and white. Each one a marvel worth contemplation.
