Life. What’s that, you ask? Well, for the unitiated (who clearly don’t spend their days on the slopes), the lifties are the guys and gals who man the stations that take us up the mountain — safely and without fail. But as writer David Stillman Meyer and photographer Anna Stonehouse tell us, there’s a whole lot more to the culture and character of the liftie world than meets the eye.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
by ANDREW TRAVERS
FILM & FOOD THE WHEELER Opera
House’s Monday Docs series is hosting an extraordinary film and themed dinner on Monday, March 6, with a screening of the documentary “Bugs” and a meal of insects prepared by Little Nell executive chef Matt Zubrod. By 2050 the world population is expected to top 9 billion people, which the United Nations estimates will necessitate increasing food production by about 70 percent. One solution to supplying a growing world with a protein-rich, tasty food: bugs. The documentary, by Andreas Johnsen, follows chef Ben Reade and scientist Josh Evans around the world as they research far-flung local customs and delicacies in the hopes of finding insects to feed the world. The adventurous pair dig in the dirt for the best the world has to offer, in the entertaining and informative film. It screens at 6 p.m. at the Wheeler. “Bugs” will be followed by Zubrod and Jose Carlos Redon’s dinner at the Nell at 8 p.m. The menu includes beef tartare with ants, a grasshopper salad and pork belly in a cricket mole. The evening promises to be among the more memorable cinephile and foodie experiences in Aspen this winter. Tickets are $60 for both dinner and the movie, or $15 for just the movie. Tickets available at the Wheeler box office and www.aspenshowtix.com. Pick up the March 3 Weekend section of The Aspen Times for more on “Bugs” and an interview with Johnsen.
The documentary “Bugs” screens March 6 at the Wheeler Opera House, followed by an insect dinner at The Little Nell.

“LITTLE NELL LIFT TO OPEN FOR SEASON TOMORROW,” announced The Aspen Times on Dec. 20, 1956. “Boasting the only practice loading and unloading platform in the country, Aspen’s newest chairlift will open for the season tomorrow, December 21. Replacing the T-Bar, on the Little Nell slope, the lift is 3,100 feet long, has a vertical rise of about 830 feet and is expected to handle almost 900 passengers per hour. A unique feature of the new chairlift is a practice platform alongside the lower terminal. This has a hinged chair which will enable beginning skiers to practice loading and unloading. To be called the Little Nell Double Chairlift, the new installation has approximately 52 chairs and should do much to alleviate waiting lines on the other lifts.” The photo above shows the Little Nell ski run and chairlift in 1958. The platform to the left of the base of the chairlift is the practice area for loading and unloading. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
WEAR IT: POLARTEC ‘NAKED’ JACKET STRIP THE LINING from an insulated jacket. Now, pull the guts — the sleeves and the body — on like a ragged fleece. That’s a crude picture. But with a to-be-released jacket, a British brand called Rab did essentially that. A knit polyester, the body of the jacket, forms an airy structure that traps body heat. The fabric is made in the USA by Polartec. It’s knit in New Hampshire and called Alpha Direct. The term “naked” refers to its lack of face fabric — this is a sheen of insulation in the raw. It comes to market later this year from Rab for $125. I tested a prototype over the winter and was impressed with its warmth and breathability while on the move. Called the Alpha Flash Jacket, it’s a basic jacket with a single chest pocket, a waist hem, and no hood. Like many Rab products, the Flash is pure function — there are zero bells and whistles. In my test, the jacket performed as promised, and I came to depend on it for cold days when I was active. For its weight and thinness, this top is incredibly warm. You feel body heat trapped near skin the second you pull it on. It’s a comfortable coat. But the cartoon-red material got some looks. Its vibrancy, combined with the furry aesthetic prompted more than one comparison to a Muppet named Elmo. The material is made of postconsumer recycled polyester. In its naked form, it is essentially a synthetic fleece on steroids — warmer and more breathable. A main upgrade from other options is its heat-trapping ability combined with an openknit construction. Air can easily pass through, granting amazing breathability. But wind also passes right through this jacket. Thus, it’s best for high-aerobic, sweaty activities. Or, use it underneath a shell jacket. The thin material serves as a substantial midlayer for the coldest days. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

PROTECTING OUR FREE PRESS THE VITAL IMPORTANCE OF THE FOURTH ESTATE
THE WORLD OF THE MEDIA was turned on its head Friday afternoon when several news organizations, including The New York Times, CNN, Politico and The Los Angeles Times were prohibited from attending that day’s off-camera White House press briefing. When asked why certain outlets were excluded, White House press secretary BARBARA PLATTS Sean Spicer said they planned to “push back” against news stories that they considered to be inaccurate. This led many to assume that these media outlets were singled out for a particular reason. A situation like this between the White House and the press hasn’t happened before, at least not in recent times, where certain media organizations were purposely excluded from a meeting being held specifically for the press. Afterward, several reporters who were allowed to attend shared their information with those who were barred. Although I can’t speak to how journalists at these organizations must have felt when they heard this news, I imagine it was
GETTY IMAGE
somewhat similar to how I felt as a member of the press. I was infuriated. The situation wasn’t only shocking; it felt like a personal attack on the work many of my colleagues and I do every day. This wasn’t simply an attack on a few elite news outlets; it was pointed at journalism as a whole. Any reporter I have ever had the pleasure of knowing has an extreme dedication to the truth. They take their work and those they report on seriously. Most of us who work in the media see what we do as a public service. Being in news isn’t just what we do, it’s very much a part of who we are. And to see our work being flagrantly labeled as “fake news” isn’t only disheartening, it’s very, very scary. For the organization for which I work, Aspen Public Radio, the news of this selective press briefing came during one of our busiest times of the year: Winter Pledge Drive. We have drives twice annually: one in the summer and one in the winter. During this time, we come on the air and make a pitch to our listeners for why they should support the service we bring them. Pledge drives are always a hectic time in the office, but
they also bring the staff a great deal of honor. They remind us why we put in hard hours for a public media organization. We do it because we believe in fair, unbiased news and the protection and support of a free press. Whether we are focusing on public media or outlets that work under a for-profit model, the function of a free press, as in not controlled by the government, is vital in our society. Many people refer to the media as the fourth branch of government, or the fourth estate. This is because our democracy simply doesn’t work without it. As The Washington Post recently added beneath its logo on its website: “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” If we don’t have the media to provide checks and balances and help inform the people, then we will have a public that is kept in the dark, which threatens our civil liberties. Sadly, the press has been under a great amount of scrutiny in recent years. According to a recent Emerson College study, as well as a Fox News poll, more Americans trust the White House administration than the press. This notion of “fake news,” this trend of hashtagging things like #banCNN on Twitter,
is incredibly harmful to our political system. That’s because it’s difficult to agree on issues when we can’t even understand what the facts are. By calling something “fake” or “untruthful” we are undermining its integrity, we are questioning its motive and we are disregarding the message it’s trying to convey. It’s a loselose situation, and it must stop if we hope to ever heal the division in this country. So, how can we each take strides to stop it? We can stay informed about current events. We can also support the media outlets that we find credible and reliable. That can be done by donating to local public media stations or by purchasing a subscription to a newspaper, news site or news magazine. It may seem like a small feat, but it makes a huge difference. It’s our job as citizens of the United States to protect the rights of a free press. And not only protect, but support them. Without doing so, we lose the foundation that our nation was built on.

WINEINK
VEUVE CLICQUOT CHAMPAGNE TO CELEBRATE
“IT IS SUCH A GREAT pleasure to travel and come to meet people who love our wines and to share what we do,” said Gaëlle Goossens, oeneolgist and winemaker for Veuve Clicquot following a sumptuous luncheon in the Element 47 wine room at The Little Nell Hotel in Aspen. Goossens knows from her travel experiences that wherever and KELLY J. whenever she pours HAYES her wines, and yes, Champagnes are considered wines, pleasure follows. Nothing connotes luxury and celebration like a glass of bubbly. For more than two centuries, the Champagne region has been the epicenter of production of the world’s finest sparkling wines. Right around the time of the birth of America, the great Champagne houses were first setting up shop in a region 90 miles east of Paris. In 1729, Ruinart opened its doors, followed by Moët & Chandon in 1743 and Veuve Clicquot in 1772. Today all three, along with the legendary Dom Pérignon, which has history dating to 1668, operate under the LVMH luxury brand corporate label. They represent some of the top selling Champagnes in the world, with Moët and Clicquot leading the pack.
ABOUT CHAMPAGNE For a wine to be called Champagne it must play by very strict rules. First, the grapes must be grown and the wines must be made exclusively in the Champagne region, which has received special designation by the European Union and other sanctioning bodies as the only place on Earth that can use the word Champagne on their labels. You can make a sparkling wine in California or Australia or Argentina using the same grapes and methods as Champagne, and they do, but it cannot be called Champagne. “It is the chalk in our vineyards that makes the terroir of our region so unique,” Goossens said when asked to explain the
10
A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY
F
secret to this elixir of happiness. The region is blessed with the chalky soils that were left some 70 million years ago when the Atlantic Ocean receded from the continent. It is this chalk in the soils that gives the wines their crispness and minerality. In her job as winemaker, Goossens oversees the production of all the white wines, or chardonnay, that make their way into the Veuve Clicquot bottles. While seven grapes are permissible in the production of Champagne, just three, pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier, make it into most bottles. Finally, the wines must be made using the méthode champenoise, where they undergo a secondary fermentation in the bottle after they’re produced. This means that, after the wines are blended and bottled, they receive a final shot of yeast and sugars, or a liqueur de tirage, which interacts to produce the carbonation or bubbles. The wines are stored and turned, or riddled, before they are opened and disgorged, releasing the final sediments before the wines are corked and sent to market.
A FAMED BRAND As a brand, Veuve Clicquot is enjoying a surge in popularity. Much of this can be traced to improvements made over the past decade under the tutelage of the head winemaker and Gaëlle’s boss, Dominique Demarville. Demarville, who joined Clicquot in 2006 and became chef de caves in 2009, has emphasized more sustainable practices in the vineyards and made subtle, but important, changes to the production process. “The 2008 vintage (currently available) was the first to be made here by Dominique Demarville,” Goossens said. “It was aged in oak barrels to add some spice notes to the wines.” This vintage of Veuve was the first to use oak in the Clicqout house since the 1960s, and it is notable for its emphasis on pinot noir as the dominant grape in the blend. But a significant factor in the success of a Champagne brand,

Veuve Clicquot presents Clicquot in the Snow at a number of the world’s top ski resorts where skiers can sip Champagne on the slopes.
particularly in the American market, has to do with its perception and image. Brands like Dom and Cristal received a boost from being included in rap lyrics. Veuve, on the other hand, benefits from its iconic yellow labels. Of course, this is nothing new, as the first yellow label was introduced in 1877. Veuve has also taken advantage of positioning itself as a fun brand for those with an active lifestyle. The “Clicquot in the Snow” promotions put the yellow label, yellow directors chairs and eye-catching yellow umbrellas on the slopes of many of the world’s most iconic ski resorts. A logoed yellow yurt in Dear Valley, and the “Oasis” on Aspen Mountain, allow skiers the opportunity to ski in and ski out for a taste of Veuve Clicquot between their runs through the Champagne powder. For Goossens, the joy comes from not just making the famed bubbles, but pouring and talking about the wines she makes as well. “It’s all about balance, don’t you think?” she queries with a knowing look. Indeed. 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 VEUVE CLICQUOT, CHAMPAGNE 2008 At the tasting with Madame Goossens, we were pleased to be poured the inaugural release of chef de caves Dominique Demarville’s first vintage wine. In contrast to the other bottles poured, this wine had a touch of smoke and spice that was a genuine surprise. The wine, while fresh and crisp, was more complex on the palate and had an even bolder texture than the other (2006 vintage and NV Brut) wines that were on offer. A joy to taste.

500 WINEINKS In June 2007, I was asked if I would consider writing a wine column for The Aspen Times. It took me all of two seconds to respond in the affirmative. This marks the 500th consecutive week of WineInk. In that first edition, I closed with the words: “I bring to this endeavor an enthusiasm for learning, a passion for tasting and a desire to impart some good words. Let’s spill some wine.” In the ensuing 10 years, much has changed, but the ethos above remains the same. Thanks to all who have read. I look forward to spilling more wine with you in the decade to come.
VINTAGE VERSUS NV CHAMPAGNE FACING PAGE: The iconic yellow color of the Veuve Clicquot brand permeates everything they do, including the cover of the book “The Widow Clicquot,” about the history of Veuve Clicquot. FAR RIGHT: Champagne on ice. What could be better? ABOVE: Veuve Clicquot winemaker Gaël Goossens conducts a tasting of wines at The Little Nell Hotel in Aspen. RIGHT: Veuve Clicquot was founded in 1772.
The vast majority of Champagne sold is NV, or non-vintage. This means that it is made from blends of wines that were produced in different years rather than from a single year’s harvest. The intent of most non-vintage Champagne is to produce wines that reflect the consistency of a “house style.” The Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label “Brut” NV Champagne, for example, is made in an assertive, well-rounded and opulent style. Vintage Champagnes are not produced every year, but only in those years where the grapes and harvest are deemed worthy of such effort. A vintage Champagne will reflect both the year of the vintage as well as a house style.

SNOWMASS SHOWOFF
A STUNNING REMODEL MATCHES THE FARE AT GWYN’S — FINALLY THURSDAY, 1 P.M.: Gwyn’s High Alpine is a bubbling stew of skiers and snowboarders with freshly matted helmet-hair, rosy cheeks, wide eyes, and even wider grins. Outside, a long-overdue snowstorm swirls and whirls across Snowmass — a scene visible from most spots inside the mid-mountain lodge outlined in glass windows galore. The bar, overlooking AMANDA RAE the slope just below the Alpine Springs lift, is standing room only. Straight ahead, the airy marketplace-style cafeteria bustles with customers deciding whether to bother going any further than the legendary soup bar to stations offering burgers, sandwiches, and salads. Upstairs, patrons gasp in gratitude upon seeing owner Gwyn Knowlton’s glider plane hanging still from the rafters. Downstairs in the window-walled lounge, folks sip hot chocolate, stretch out on plush sofas, and gaze off to the powderdusted Rock Island cliffs beyond. Seeking respite from the hustle and bustle, my lunchmate and I step through a glass-enclosed tunnel leading to the property’s crown jewel: Gwyn’s, a fullservice, sit-down restaurant with a comprehensive menu and wine list to match. Lined with tufted benches, the carpeted corridor is a whirl of limbs as nearly a dozen people sit and shed gear. Beneath a stone backdrop to Gwyn’s glowing cursive marquee, hostess Margie Fey navigates the crush of would-be diners. When a man waddles forth to request two tables of five on the spot, I understand what might be running through his mind: Since when do you need an RSVP for lunch onmountain at a ski area? Since Gwyn’s High Alpine underwent a dazzling $5.9 million remodel this summer — the first upgrade since Knowlton and now-ex-husband George Gordon assumed independent ownership of the property and renamed it in 1979. Everyone, it seems, wants a leisurely lunch at Gwyn’s. And it’s not even a holiday weekend! “I had a thing against Crocs
12
A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY
F
— now I love them,” my dining companion enthuses, peeling off her blue ski boots and slipping into a pair of pink “alpine slippers” for complimentary use during meals. Fey, who has worked here 34 years, leads us to the far wall of windows overlooking Coffee Pot trail. Of all the upgrades by Aspen-based Z Group Architects — fawn-colored wood covering walls and ceilings; restrooms relocated from a lower level to ground floor — expanded views and ample light let in by all that glass are most impressive. As Knowlton says when she swans by our table, the revamp “gave everyone a window seat, even if they’re sitting at the back of the restaurant.” We open cork-covered menus and begin the debate: What to order? For starters there’s a hearty flatbread pizza with truffle-scented wild mushrooms and a pile of zesty arugula or ooey, gooey shrimp and lobster fondue with house-made pretzel bread. We enjoyed both at a media luncheon two weeks ago, though, so we settle on grilled peaches with cream-filled burrata, smoked prosciutto nibs, and basil chiffonade. To enjoy fragrant Palisade peaches in the dead of winter is like a summer daydream come true — even cooler when served on the same colorful peacock china Gwyn’s used back in the ’80s. We sample both soups — brothy Italian chicken-farfalle and creamy tomato-broccoli (one of two is always vegetarian) and tuck into a breadbasket of freshly baked rolls and wafer-thin crisps studded with dried fruit, nuts, and seeds. “People ask for recipe all the time and I’ll give it to them,” chirps second-year server Katie McClure. The chef’s daily cut, elk medallions in barbecue-blueberry sauce, and rack of elk with wild lingonberry sauce, both alongside garlic mashed potatoes and winter vegetables, are hot specials. Indeed, Knowlton says, game meat is a perennial bestseller “on a day like today.” Knowlton’s favorite starter is ahi tuna tostadas, inspired by a fisherman neighbor on Maui, where the family spent summers. Asian-style steak lettuce wraps, a daily risotto, and numerous salads (including kale, red and yellow

peppers, golden raisins, Parmesan; classic Caesar; roasted beets over arugula with Avalanche goat cheese) round out the starters menu. Seared Colorado tenderloin or chicken, Hawaiian ahi, Atlantic salmon, tofu, or salmon smoked in-house are optional add-ons. (Breakfast eggs, French toast, and granola are served daily at 9 to 10:30 a.m.) Though tempted by fire-roasted chicken enchiladas — “on the menu since day one,” Knowlton says — and Hawaiian mahi tacos with queso fresco and pineapple salsa, I’m on a duck hunt for another story, so I choose the seared Rocky Mountain duck with Burgundytart cherry reduction, roasted fingerling potatoes, and wilted baby greens from the regular menu. It’s a welcome surprise when a seared, sliced duck breast arrives over a hearty hash of shaved Brussels sprouts, kale, and crispy leek straws mixed with coin-cut potatoes. The scarlet sauce is tangy, savory, and syrupy — easily the most decadent dish I’ve enjoyed during a snow day on Snowmass. After stealing a few glances to other tables, I plan to return for the rosemary-Dijon Colorado beef tenderloin sandwich; smoked ruby red trout and Brie melt with caramelized onions; and a customizable bison burger, probably with bourbon-barbecue sauce and
bacon. Prices ($32, $27, $25, respectively) might seem steeper than other on-mountain options… but who can put a price on the luxury of time, space, genuinely happy service, killer views, and comfy Crocs? Despite the hype over the venue’s impressive aesthetic enhancements, food has long been the draw at Gwyn’s — executive chef Peter Katynski and sous chef Matt Seaver have been in the kitchen for years. (In fact, Knowlton says, 100 percent of Gwyn’s High Alpine core staff returned this season; many have been employed five-plus years, four more than 30 years. See “Gwyn’s by the Numbers,” opposite page.) Gwyn’s clientele is similarly loyal. “We have three generations at a couple of tables,” Knowlton says, between shuffling chairs and greeting longtime customers. Later one of those tables breaks into “Happy Birthday,” as Knowlton’s signature molten-center chocolate gateau (served à la mode with house-made strawberry ice cream) is delivered to the honoree. The dessert was born from a happy accident some 20 years ago — long before “gluten-free” was the buzzword du jour. Whitney Gordon, Knowlton’s daughter and now manager of Gwyn’s, knows how sweet it all is. “It is so much fun to see people walk

TAPAS TUESDAY Another reason to visit Gwyn’s High Alpine during lunch: It’s the only way to reserve a spot for the venue’s weekly “Tuesday Tasting and Tapas” series. Limited to 30 people by in-person RSVP only, the après-ski events at Gwyn’s pair small bites with a featured boozy beverage (last week celebrated National Tequila Day; next Tuesday, 3/9, Woody Creek Distillers handles the hooch). Then take a final run with the afternoon Snowmass ski patrol sweep.
into the building for the first time with a sense of awe and appreciate what it took to transform it in a single summer,” she says. “What we love most is that people still feel very at home with us.” Before we depart, I inquire about the framed needlepoint sign in the entryway: “OLD SKIERS NEVER DIE, THEY JUST GO DOWNHILL.” A gift from original hostess Jill Sheeley, who worked here for a decade before starting a family — “I lost a hostess but became a godmother,” Gwyn quips — the artwork shifts the conversation to some exciting news: Florida-based daughter Tracey (“my ski racer,” Knowlton says) and two young children will rejoin her sister, and Whitney’s son, James, 4, back in Snowmass soon. “It is an incredible way to grow up and I’m so happy that [they’re] getting to do it in the same way that Tracey and I did as kids,” says Gordon, who travels uphill daily to the restaurant. The reunion has been a long time coming. “I’m excited to ski again!” Knowlton enthuses. Surely after feeding Snowmass for decades, Gwyn deserves some soul food of her own.

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE
GUNNER’S LIBATIONS
by JEANNE MCGOVERN
BLUE-RIBBON BREWS Coloradans love their craft beer; Aspenites are especially fond of our hometown boys and brews at Aspen Brewing Co. But with more than 5,000 small and independent craft breweries operating in the U.S., the options for tasting great beer stretch far and wide. As a beer drinker, I am pretty good at distinguishing an average bar from a great craft beer bar — as are the readers of CraftBeer.com. In a survey released this week, CraftBeer.com named the best beer bar in each state. In all, more than 7,000 people responded to the survey, which asked readers to nominate their favorite craft beer bar in their state and fill out a short survey about what makes it so great including atmosphere, staff, beer selection and special events. In Colorado, the winner was Samples World Bistro in Longmont (we voted for Aspen Brewing Co., of course.). If you’re on the Front Range and find yourself near Longmont, check out the Bistro’s selection of 40 can beers and 28 on tap. Plus, the owners of Samples World Bistro aim to elevate the beer bar experience with great pairings,

and beer industry veteran Mark Sample. “We have 28 awesome pairings, and those are just the ones we like. The possibilities are endless.” LIBATIONS WAS CREATED BY BELOVED ASPEN TIMES PUBLISHER GUNILLA ASHER, WHO DIED JUNE 2, 2014, AFTER A BRAVE BATTLE WITH CANCER. CHEERS — TO GUNNER!

ESCAPE ARTIST | SCOTTSDALE
by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY
SUNNY SCOTTSDALE FOR SPRING BREAK? HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
IT’S TIME TO FIGURE out how to secure some warmth later this month when our local schools break for their spring renewal. If you fancy a nice, long roadtrip (about 11 hours) from the Roaring Fork Valley or a quick flight from Grand Junction to neighboring Phoenix for about $200 AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY roundtrip, Scottsdale is guaranteed sun. And with so many places to stay, it makes an affordable location for a pool, gold and desert adventure vacation. Clip and save the following notes on sunny Scottsdale:
WHERE TO EAT • Roka Akor hosts quarterly sushi rolling classes after being named one of the “50 Best Sushi Bars in America for 2016” by The Daily Meal (7299 N. Scottsdale Road). • Down the road, find madein-house seasonal pastas and
Italian fare in the modern environment that is The Fat Ox Restaurant and Lounge by local chef Matthew Carter (6316 N.

Marshall Way).
WHERE TO STAY • Just 10 minutes outside of Scottsdale, the newly remodeled Mountain Shadows Resort is scheduled reopen in time for spring break after undergoing a $65 million
renovation to include a fullservice boutique hotel and redesigned golf course (www.mountainshadows.com). • The 23-acre bungalow-style property, Andaz Scottsdale Resort and Spa in Paradise Valley, is located just minutes away from the Cattle Track Arts Compound founded in 1936 (www.scottsdale. andaz.hyatt.com) • Located near Scottsdale Fashion Square, The Days Inn Scottsdale was transformed into a retro-chic resort after a $12 million renovation and rebranding to become the Scottsdale Inn (www.scottsdaleinn.com).

SMOOTH OPERATORS
IT’S THE LIFTIES’ MOUNTAIN, THEY JUST LET US RIDE IT
BY DAVID STILLMAN
MEYER
WHILE EACH MOUNTAIN in the Aspen Skiing Co. family has its unique ascent, there is something suspenseful about the trip up Aspen Highlands. The vibe at the gate on Exhibition lift this particular morning is relaxed. It’s warm and sunny and The Stones are playing softly in the background. Always a brisk ride up, one sails over the treetops at 1,000 feet per minute, or 11.36 mph. The lift dumps out above the Merry-Go-Round Restaurant and after a quick skier’s-right dash around the corner, one arrives at the Loge Peak lift, nestled in a wooded glade. The song “Good Vibes” by Rebellion reverberates loudly, courtesy of an extra speaker perched in the trees. The lift operator is grooving to the beat and the heart rate ticks up as buttocks meet chair. It’s quiet again, save for the wind and the intermittent rumble of the towers before the hum of the top terminal arrives. Castle Creek sprawls out in all her glory below; the ridge of the mighty Highland Bowl looms above. Eat your hearts out, O Red Mountain overlords, these top-of-the-lift, corneroffice views can’t be bought. We’re all so concerned with going down the mountain, we often don’t give much pause to the ride up — and the curious long-haired creatures who make sure we get there safely. These are

the lift operators and lift attendants — or “lifties,” to use mountain parlance — who supply an essential service to the resort. On one hand, you could take away the instructors, the restaurants, the ticket office, even the ski patrol, and technically people could still go skiing. But with no one to run the lifts,
1 thing about this job is safety,” notes Buttermilk lift manager Marianne Barrett. Mandated by the Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board, each lift and gondola runs through a rigorous safety protocol each morning before the lifts can operate. This includes everything from testing the phones that
“They assume you’re a pothead, a lazy ski bum , but a lot actually goes into this job that people don’t se e.” except for maybe a few uphillers, the mountains would be empty. On the other hand, what on Earth do the lifties do all day besides press a button and watch people sit and stand? “We’re the most seen, least visible people on the mountain,” explains Jesse, an Aspen native who works/DJs the No. 3 Lift (aka Ajax Express). In short, a lot is going on before the first skier/rider arrives on the hill. “The No.

connects the top and bottom terminals to checking the tires on the detachable high-speed quads and running various tests on the haul rope to make sure it is performing as it should be to making sure the chairs are moving through the zones efficiently so they don’t pile up (not to mention monitoring the engine, its power supply, the auxiliary diesel engine, checking the emergency brakes, gears, pulleys, belts and every detail
right down to panda bear protocol — or simply keeping track of the big stuffed panda on Buttermilk and making sure it rides the lift alone; only the smaller stuffed panda is allowed to ride with the kids up the chair). Once the lifts are up and running, the main job is to make sure everyone gets on and off safely. The intensity of this duty varies from lift to lift. V.X. (aka Village Express at the bottom of Snowmass) requires no less than 10 lifties at a time to load an endless stream of beginners, whereas Five Trees at Aspen Highlands, which services AVSC, can get as few as 10 riders total. Over on the Silver Queen Gondola, the lifties are busy making sure everyone gets in and out of the cabins safely and comfortably. Maneuvering guests’ skies and boards in and out of those slots is an extra little amenity the lifties are happy to do. “I mean, we have to one-up the service from those jerks at Vail,” one such attendant confides shortly after handing the former first lady her skis. But even on the most lackadaisical of lifts, attention must never waiver for more than a few seconds at a time. One never knows when something might go wrong. Tom, who works at the top of No. 4 (aka The Big Burn at
Snowmass), recently had a little girl get her skis stuck. Her parents didn’t realize what happened and so he ran out to help her. She was shaken and upset, but he quickly got her all settled, gave her the traditional “everyone falls” pep talk, and finished the deal with a fortuitous Valentine’s Day lollipop he had tucked in his parka. “She was so glad to see me,” Tom explains. “People don’t realize how important customer service is to this job. You can’t just be some silent dude in the background. It’s really important to be able to get out there and make sure the guests feel safe and have a good time.” Or as Marianne, Buttermilk’s lift manager describes it, “You have to be personable. You have to be friendly and you can’t be afraid to touch people.” Apart from “touching people,” (appropriately, of course), the other defining challenge of being a lift operator is the cold. Luckily, Aspen gets a decent amount of sunshine; however, not all lifts get sun, and obviously, it gets damn cold plenty often. On a windy, cloudy day, just try standing out there with no skiing or boarding to get your blood going for eight minutes — much less eight hours — and you can start to imagine how insidious the plunging mercury can be. Put it this way, you will be dancing a gigue faster than you can hum, “The snow is snowing. The wind is blowing.” And then there is the boredom. Things do get slow, which leaves plenty of time to think. “Yeah, sometimes too much time,” laughs Maestro at the Deep Temerity lift. Rex, who works top of No. 9 (aka Sheer Bliss at Snowmass) reads the papers, does the crossword, sudoku, and then throws on a podcast — or four. Light reading and distractions are OK. Burying your nose in a page-turning novel, not OK. Outside, the attendants

like to hit snow around, keeping busy with whatever they can — raking, shoveling, building steps. “You start to master the three-second conversation,” explains a different Tom, who works the Scooper Lift on Snowmass. Another welcome distraction is something called “chair marking.” When someone is particularly nervous or had a rough embarkation, the bottom attendant will call up to the top to “mark” the chair. They also will mark particularly creative outfits — and particularly beautiful women. “It’s something to look forward to,” blushes one top operator. For some, it isn’t the protocols, the cold, or the occasional boredom that gets to them, it is watching people ski all day. And this is the bittersweet — borderline sadomasochistic — aspect of the job: to be totally immersed, and yet once removed, from the sport that stirs their souls. You get paid to ski 100 days a year, but for most of those days, you are only getting a single run. One liftie admits that on powder days he won’t even take it. “It’s just too painful to stop.” The powder day is example perfectus of the liftie paradox. What the rest of valley looks forward to with unbridled joy, the liftie anticipates with mixed feelings. “We joke that you learn to hate powder days,” explains Jesse on Ajax Express. “But it’s still nice to live vicariously.” On Ajax, it’s a 6:15 a.m. call time to help get all the gondola cabs back onto the haul line. They are removed at night during heavy snowfall so they don’t get too weighed down. And then there are a good two hours of shoveling, raking, clearing out the maze (the lift lines), clearing out the lobster traps (the brightly colored gates that keep people from plowing into the
CHAIRLIFT FACTS AT A GLANCE Aspen / Snowmass operates 36 lifts and 3 gondolas on four mountains There are approximately 250 lift attendants, 30 supervisors/ managers, and 60 maintenance workers on the four mountains. According to the blog “Lift Blog,” Aspen has three of the top 10 longest chairlifts in North America. 4) Village Express, Snowmass: 10,074 feet (2005 Leitner-Poma Detachable Six) 7) Two Creeks, Snowmass: 9,835 feet (1995 Poma Detachable Quad) 8) Summit Express, Buttermilk: 9,581 feet (1993 Poma Detachable Quad) The first modern chairlift was built in 1936 in Sun Valley, Idaho. Average speed of a lift is 1,000 feet per minute. Kind of a random metric, but that’s how it works. The four-person detachable chairlift (“high-speed quad”) can transport 2,400 people per hour. The engines are electric, source their power from the power grid and range from 50hp to 1700hp. They have diesel backups and possibly even a hand crank backup. The inside of the huts on Ajax are signed by the past lifties who worked there. The band Chairlift came from Boulder and were the darlings of the Brooklyn synthpop scene in the 2010s. They broke up in December.

crowd, as well as keeps the snow from piling up inside the maze.) Then again, a lot of the lifties get to enjoy a fresh track in the morning. At the very least, a nice ride down at the end of the day, not to mention the positive energy that reverberates from the mountainsides is an intoxicating and not altogether terrible work environment. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the “liftie life” — as it were — is the unique culture that hatches every December at the base of the lifts. What used to be a bunch of ranchers and farmers who wanted to earn some extra money during the winter has evolved over the decades to become a calling in its own right, a sort of sub-subculture of the “ski bum,” a collection of mostly 20-something guys and a smattering of women who each imbue their lift or gondola with its own unique charms. The lifties at Summit Express at the base of Buttermilk work under their signature disco ball, loading 4-year-olds along with X Game acrobats who have just flung themselves into the air at similar launch vectors as the private jets 1,000 yards in the distance. Over on “the Couch,” one of the slowest rides around, the lifties enjoy its ample sunlight and en suite grill. Over at the Cloud Nine lift, famous for the DJing as much as the lift operating, it’s always a joyous affair. The energy is amplified by Cloud Nine Restaurant patrons on their way to drink and dance with abandon. If there is one leitmotif to the liftie culture — besides its fondess for long, Samson-esque locks and irreverent quotes scribbled on white boards — it is the music. It’s something of a late-'80s, classic rock echo chamber, a proclivity for which I was unable to source any particular rhyme or reason. The music is selected by the lifties, whoever feels like plugging in their phone, with only slight management oversight (no heavy swearing, nothing too crass or aggressive.) The music is simply what they like to listen to. “My playlists happen over time,” explains Lewis, who claims “Planet Earth” as home and works the Loge lift. He is particularly passionate about his tunes. Planet Earth? “Yeah, yeah I moved around a lot growing up, but I also like that it puts everyone on the same level.” When asked if he includes much top 40 in his playlists he winces, “Um … no.” His go-to genres include reggae, classic rock, funk and a bit of disco. “The music a) keeps me going, and b) makes the guests happy.” Perhaps there is no better display of liftie culture than at Customer Appreciation Day, every Wednesday on Highlands. Guests enjoy free parking, free coffee, free muffins and then at high noon precisely, the lifties at Deep Temerity serve up 80 freshly grilled hot dogs to a crowd of ravenously appreciative guests. In the eight years it has been going, four minutes is the record for selling out. The Deep Temerity lift could very well be

nicknamed “The Locals' Lift." Servicing the Bowl and acres of gorgeous doublediamond terrain, it’s no wonder it draws a certain devout fan base. Dave, an Aspen local who moved here in 1962, has been skiing “D.T.” seven days a week since it opened, usually eight to 12 runs a day, depending on how many bowl laps. When asked if he skies anywhere else, he responded with zero irony, “Sure, I skied Snowmass once this season.” Almost all the lifts have their regulars and there is a certain family vibe that is created, not only among the lifties but between the guests, as well. One passes by in but a fleeting second, but somehow that little bond can form. Which isn’t to say it’s all peaches and cream in the liftie world. They spend all morning getting a lift open for a powder day and then get plenty of nasty looks when the snow hasn’t been swiped off the chair. Not to mention that there’s a hierarchy on the mountain and the lifties are pretty much at the bottom. “They assume you’re a pothead, a lazy ski bum, but a lot actually goes into this job that people don’t see,” one liftie confesses. “It’s the lowest paid but the most essential,” argues Jason Leadman, a lift manager at Highlands. So does a passing “thank you” lift their spirits? “I never get sick of hearing the word thank you,” Lewis replies, “it’s always a nice thing to hear.” Aside from gripes about pay and a respect gap, there is an overwhelming sense of pride, responsibility and joy among the liftie set. “We work for a pretty badass company. The perks are small, but good,” admits Tom on the Big Burn. His friend Rex just over on Sheer Bliss makes the obvious comparison, “I mean, the name says it all. Great view, great commute. It’s very peaceful up here.” Granted, at that exact moment it was a whiteout and the wind was howling, but you get the point. Spending time around the lifts, watching chair after chair after chair after chair roll by like waves crashing on a snowy beach, the hypnotic, almost spiritual nature of the job starts to emerge. Indeed, there is something monastic in the life of the liftie. Accepting the position isn’t quite a vow of poverty, but not terribly far off. After all, it is a life committed if not to God, than to God’s country, and all its pleasures be they ripped, fermented or smoked. If there is a simple “truth” to the liftie life it was pointed out to me by Fernanda, who is on a J-1 visa from Costa Rica and works the Village Express at Snowmass. For all the hassles and hurdles of the ski vacation, and all the sacrifices of the ski life, it all melts away the moment you rush out in between the chairs. “Everyone is happy when they are getting on the lift,” she observes. And that, as they say, is the truth.

LIFTIE LINGO THE MAZE: The lines that lead up to the lift THE LOBSTER TRAP: The nylon barriers that prevent runway skiers/riders as well as too much snow piling up into the maze. BUMPING A CHAIR: When a lift operator holds the chair back for a more gentle seating. This is only needed on the “fixed arm” lifts. DETACHABLE VERSUS FIXED ARM LIFTS: Detachable “highspeed quads” have arms that detach from the haul rope and are guided slowly through the loading zone by tires. After loading its passengers, the spring-loaded arm reattaches to the haul rope and away it goes. Fixed-arm lifts never leave the haul rope and travel at one speed round a bull wheel at which point it smacks the back of your legs … sometimes. POMA: A leading chair lift manufacturer located in the Alps in France who made a number of the Skico lifts. ABOVE: A cadre of lifties load passengers on the Village Express lift at the base of Snowmass. OPPOSITE PAGE, MIDDLE: Random Sharpie sayings keep the lifties at The Couch motivated for the long season ahead. OPPOSITE PAGE, BOTTOM, AND BELOW: The lift crew at Deep Temerity serve up hot dogs to hungry skiers and snowboarders every Wednesday.
CHAIR MARKING: Marking a chair to the top attendant that may require extra attention unloading. THE COUCH: A lift on the far east side of Aspen Mountain that is a quad but is not detachable and thus not high-speed. The long, slow, often sun-soaked ride earned its nickname, The Couch. D.T.: Deep Temerity chairlift. The definition of "temerity" is excessive confidence, audacity, so someone or something with "deep temerity" is ... insane? SAFETY GATE: If a passenger fails to unload, their legs will contact a lightweight bar, line, or pass through a light beam which stops the lift. The lift operator will then help them disembark, reset the safety gate, and initiate the lift restart procedure.

NUMBERS VERSUS NAMES: On Ajax and Snowmass, lifties reference lifts by their lift numbers; Buttermilk and Highlands by their names. (Old people on Ajax refer to them by number, as well.)

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE
by ANDREW TRAVERS
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM AT THE WHEELER ELEPHANT REVIVAL has played just about every venue in the Aspen area over the years. The Nederlandbased folk quintet has headlined Belly Up and the Carbondale Mountain Fair, they’ve played the base of Ajax during the Hi-Fi Concert Series and, this weekend, they return to the Wheeler Opera House. In the early days, a decade ago, they were another rag-tag Colorado roots music outfit — the kind that seem to sprout like weeds from the hillsides around Boulder — and barnstorming around the mountains in a converted school bus that ran on vegetable oil. “We were wandering minstrels searching for a way to harness what we wanted to do,” fiddler Bridget Law told The Aspen Times during one of the band’s swings through Aspen. “For all of us, it was, ‘What’s next?’” The band’s charismatic, soulful spin on acoustic music — sometimes dubbed “transcendental folk” — has won over fans far beyond Elephant Revival’s mountain town origins. These days, they play banner festivals and headline Red Rocks Ampitheatre but haven’t forgotten about the highcountry theater circuit. Elephant Revival traces its roots to Law meeting bassist Dango Rose in 2003 at a festival in Keystone and takes its name from a busking session in front of the elephant cage at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. The band officially formed in 2006 and released its self-titled debut in 2008, which was followed by a string of stand-out records and EPs (along with the live, Boulder Theater-recorded “Sands of Now”) and a lot of touring around the U.S. and Europe. The band’s most recent album is last year’s “Petals.” Recorded in Boulder, it’s another gorgeous and eclectic effort from the band filled with dark-tinged folk and deceptively complex compositions. Their sound incorporates elements of bluegrass, traditional Scottish fiddle music, early Delta blues and jug bands. Everybody in the band is a multiinstrumentalist: Bonnie Paine sings and plays the washboard, djembe and stompbox; Dango Rose plays bass, mandolin and banjo; Charlie Rose

plays banjo, pedal steel and guitar along with some horns, cello and double bass; Daniel Rodriguez hops between guitar, banjo and bass. “It’s about being a group, not about one ego. I always wanted to be in a band with more than one front person,” Law said. “I liked the way that looked.” The music — and even more so, the concerts — are imbued with a hippie optimism that embodies the best of Colorado mountain culture. Of course, a bazillion roots and bluegrass bands have emerged out of the Centennial State in recent years, but Elephant Revival is a little different and proud of it. “We’re much gentler, probably because of the feminine aspect,” Law said. “It’s not all about the party. It’s about something much bigger. We’re folk song-oriented, heart-oriented.” atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW
‘THE REFUGEES’ VIET THANH NGUYEN’S new book, “The Refugees,” is both timely, given the current debate about refugees in America, and timeless in its exploration of universal human struggles. This gorgeous collection of short stories recalls Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies,” but with Vietnam as the loose center around which the richly drawn characters orbit. There’s Liem, a newly arrived refugee whose “habit of forgetting was too deeply ingrained, as if he passed his life perpetually walking backward through a desert, sweeping away his footprints.” There are longtime residents Mr. and Mrs. Khahn, distant from their American-raised children, as well as those who stayed behind, like Phuong, wistful for a different future. And there’s
Claire, an American transplant with no familial ties to the southeast Asian nation who explains to her incredulous father that she has a “Vietnamese soul.” Nguyen convincingly takes on the voices and lives of these myriad characters, whose stories highlight not only the unique horrors that drive people to become refugees, but also the universal experiences that affirm their humanity — from the transformation of a 13-year-old “brave enough to say what I had suspected for a while, that my mother wasn’t always right” to the heartbreak and turmoil of a woman losing her husband to the fog of dementia. Nguyen won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for his 2015 novel “The Sympathizer.” The writing in “The Refugees” is resonant and evocative, abounding with delightful
NOTEWORTHY ‘The Refugees’ Viet Thanh Nguyen Grove Press, 2017 324 pages, hardcover
descriptions: “tears of rust streaking the walls,” “a countertop with black veins in the grouting,” ‘’a white Toyota Land Cruiser speckled with measles of rust.” Above all, the mark of a good short story is a reader’s investment in the characters within pages of meeting them — and sadness at having to let them go shortly thereafter. This reader felt that over and over in “The Refugees.” It is a must-read.
