THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION
Why all the hand-wringing over Aspen Mountain High? IT APPEARS that the Board of Pitkin County Commissioners is tying itself in knots over a proposal to start up an “MIP” (marijuana infused products, in case you didn’t know) business at the Aspen Business Center, and I’ll be damned if I can understand why. The business, known as Aspen Mountain High, has been trying to win local approval for close to two years, according to a chat with one of the owners. It would manufacture what are known in the industry as “edibles” — popcorn, bubblegum and other comestibles baked with varying, typically low concentrations of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the active ingredient in cannabis that makes people giggle and get hungry. Could it be that the Pitkin County Commissioners, as a body, is dominated by people who feel that the voters’ mandate in favor of legalized marijuana consumption, expressed in elections in 2000 and 2012, was not clear enough? To make it clear, according to state election records, Pitkin County voters overwhelmingly approved medical marijuana legalization in 2000, by a margin of 6,110 to 1,395, or roughly 4-to-1 (the statewide margin was slimmer, but still substantial). In 2012, the county electorate approved the legalization of “recreational” marijuana by a smaller margin, 7,303 to 2,377, but still by about 3-to-1. So, it seems quite obvious to me that the voters spoke out eloquently and clearly in favor of the sale, distribution and use of cannabis by those 21 years of age or older, in all its forms. Which is what puzzles me about a statement attributed to Pitkin County Commissioner George Newman of Emma: “This is the first marijuana manufacturing site in the county. It begs a larger dialogue with the community. We’ve never really had that discussion.” Which discussion is that, George? Was something left unsaid when a stunning majority of the local electorate came out in favor of allowing adults to use cannabis products, whether in the form of buds or brownies? As the attorneys like to say in court, “Asked and answered.” Is it that a minority of the electorate remains unhappy that their fellow voters gave their approval for such businesses not once, but twice, and would like to see someone wave a magic wand and return us to the bad old days of marijuana prohibition? Once again, to resort to legalistic courtroom jargon, “We’ll stipulate to that point.” Meaning that yes, it is perfectly understood that there are people who are, in effect, still living in the dark ages and would like
to continue to believe and foster the lies spread by law enforcement and other groups about the supposed dangers of smoking or eating pot, or “devil weed,” as some like to call it. Others are in apparent alignment with the law enforcement community, which lost a serious cash cow when the voters legalized marijuana. Not only did the drug-enforcement budgets of various state and local police agencies suddenly start to look more than a little bloated and unnecessary, but the agencies also lost their much-loved ability to seize the assets (homes, cars, boats, cash, whatever) from those arrested and convicted of certain drug offenses. The county already has been side-swiped by those who react violently to even a suggestion of cannabis-related odors, once again out of a knee-jerk antipathy toward the idea of legalized cannabis use. But in a supposedly enlightened place such as Pitkin County, it is a little unnerving to hear this kind of talk coming from the mouths of elected officials, such as the statement from Commissioner Patti Clapper, who is quoted as saying, “Good idea, George.” Which idea is that, Patti? Did you mean the suggestion that the only way to hold a worthwhile discussion is to invite “health care providers … school representatives and members of the Valley Partnership for Drug Prevention,” as identified in a news story about the commissioners’ banter over this matter? Never mind that all of those groups have long been reliably anti-pot in every regard, and vocally so, or that those kinds of organizations campaigned against the passage of Amendment 20 in 2000, and Amendment 64 in 2012. Never mind that we can all predict what those groups will say before they even say it, which amounts to something along the lines of, “You have to reject this application, commissioners, or you will be doing unimaginable harm to the children.” Well, guess what: The children have been able to get their hands on pot forever, just as they have found ways to get drunk before coming of age, regardless of the draconian laws that made criminals of them in both types of cases, and legalization has not brought about the end of civilization despite such predictions. Unfortunately, too many of the docs, the cops, and the anti-drug crusaders have banked significant parts of their livelihoods on continued resistance to any relaxation of the war on pot, and will continue to do so if given half a chance. Which, I guess, is what Newman and Clapper hope to provide.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES
FROM the VAULT
by TIM WILLOGHBY
A trammer in Arizona drives an automatic loader to fill an ore car during the 1940s.
TRAMMERS From the title you might expect a tale about skiers who ride trams
to the top of mountains. But this story features different trammers, miners who spent their days removing ore from within mountains. During Aspen’s mining era the trammer was an entry-level position replete with challenges and responsibilities. Underground jobs fell into three main categories. Miners drilled holes and set charges for blasting. Muckers shoveled blasted rock into mine cars. Trammers transported ore out of the mine. In small mines the same person assumed all three duties. In larger min the mucker and trammer could be the same person. But as soon as a mine could afford to differentiate, the trammer specialized in ore removal. Before he finished high school my father began to work in the Midnight Mine as a trammer. At the time the Midnight tunnel had advanced about 5,000 feet. He would lead Cuban, the company horse, to the end of the tunnel while Cuban pulled five empty ore cars behind him. After the mucker filled the cars, father led the ore train out by the same route and dumped the ore. Each round trip spanned about 2 miles. Complications arose in the simple-sounding routine. Onetrack tunnels required that each

set of cars be temporarily moved to a siding, a wide place hewn in the tunnel. As miners extended the tunnels, they blasted fresh ore farther and farther away from the siding. Trammers do-si-doed to switch loaded and unloaded cars.
ear he would likely lift his head. If Cuban’s ear flicked against a dangling timber, the beast could bang his head into a caving ceiling. The worst Midnight horse accident occurred when a horse spooked and ran out of the tunnel. The horse shed
EVENTUALLY MULES REPLACED HORSES. THE HARD-WORKING ANIMALS WERE MORE ADEPT UNDERGROUND. THEY COULD FIT INTO SMALLER TUNNELS AND TURN AROUND IN SMALLER SPACES. BETTER YET, IF YOU TOUCH A MULE’S EAR IT WILL DROP ITS HEAD. The process absorbed time and added mileage to a day’s work. The trammer was responsible for the horse. Well-trained, Cuban could probably function without a driver. But if a timber fell from the ceiling and blocked his path, he required guidance. The trammer had to be aware that if you touch a horse’s

its lantern outside and started a fire. Eventually mules replaced horses. The hard-working animals were more adept underground. They could fit into smaller tunnels and turn around in smaller spaces. Better yet, if you touch a mule’s ear it will drop its head. Five loaded ore cars weighed
about 5 tons. Miners employed gravity to work on the trammers’ behalf by tunneling with a slight downhill grade toward the mine entrance. This design also helped with water drainage. Trammers enjoyed advantages. The men saw sunlight several times a day. If they timed their trips right they could eat lunch outside. One trammer could manage to move one ore car along a tunnel with a gentle grade. That slope, however, allowed loaded cars to build momentum. Twisty tunnels, an inconsistent grade and too much speed could lead to derailment. But if he played his cars right, a trammer could roller coaster out the tunnel. Each car was equipped with a brake and he would stand at the back of the last car to check the gathering speed. When complete, the Midnight tunnel extended a mile and a quarter underground. Water dripped from the ceiling and ran along the path. Two daily round trips added up to a 5-mile, drenching hike at the lungtaxing elevation of 10,000 feet. No trammer ever complained that he didn’t get enough exercise. 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.

THE ASPEN TIMES COVERED AN ANNUAL WINTERSKÖL event on Jan. 26, 1978, reporting that “the Bartender’s Drink contest had only two entries on Wednesday, one day prior to the contest, but by Thursday afternoon, Alice’s Alley, the site of the contest hosted 16 bartenders. Judges for the event were Fox, Doug McCoy, Jack Little, ‘Hoss’ Rakestew (last year’s winner), Fred Crowley, and Ron Trilica, bar manager of the Ute City Banque. Four finalists were named. Phil Hicks of the Jerome Bar with his Silver N Gold entry, Ralph Sheehan of Aspen Bar and Grill with his Ore Bucket, Tim Mooney of the The Souper with Fool’s Gold, and Marc Gleeman of Rock’n Horse with his Gleam in Your Eye Entry. Judging was based on the taste, aroma, color, and name of the drink. Fool’s Gold and Silver N Gold were chosen from the four as the top two drinks, and after another round, Silver N Gold was chosen winner.” The photo above shows Phil Hicks making his winning drink, the Silver N Gold.

GEAR of the WEEK
by STEPHEN REGENOLD
WEAR IT: 24-POCKET SPORTSMAN VEST I’VE MISPLACED MY KNIFE. It’s a cool day, and on a hike I need a blade but cannot locate the jackknife stashed somewhere inside my vest. With two-dozen pockets, tabs, snaps, zippers, and fold-down “visibility strips,” the Sportsman Vest is one complex piece of clothing. It’s not difficult to misplace small items among the sea of gear and gadgets that can be stashed inside. Indeed, the clothing, made by SCOTTeVEST Inc., comes with an instructional sheet, its diagram printed on a square of tethered cloth that doubles as a glasses wipe. Combine a backpack with a piece of apparel and you get something like the SeV Sportsman Vest. Made for hunting, fishing, and general outdoors use, it swallows up accouterments like cameras, knives, bird calls, binoculars, pens, battery packs, maps, a compass, smartphones, snacks, and even a hydration bladder, which can be stashed in back. New to market, the vest costs $175. But for that price you get the copious storage plus a sturdy, well-built piece of outerwear. It has a quilted interior for warmth and a Teflon-coated
cotton face fabric to shed water and dirt. Bright tabs unsnap and fold down for visibility, ostensibly for hiking in the forest during hunting season. There are big hand-warmer pockets, an RFID wallet pocket (to protect from “skimmers”), and an integrated game bag on back. “Overkill” was one description that came to mind upon my first wear test. The vest’s vast capacity to stow items and organize small gear you might tote on your body seemed insane. But the design is smart, and I could see wearing the Sportsman in lieu of a pack for daylong excursions. My initial tests, on short hikes this winter, were accompanied by several pounds of random outdoors flotsam stuffed inside the vest’s zippered inner reaches. Despite a temporarily lost jackknife, which was found in a pocket deep enough to fit an iPad, the Sportsman Vest became highly usable once the layout was learned. Stitched-in icons direct a wearer toward appropriate places to both stow and then later find sequestered items.
Worn underneath a shell jacket the vest worked as a mid-layer. Alone, its look, which is classic but frumpy, is the same aesthetic that accompanies most multi-pocketed vests made for the outdoors. It comes in olive or gray. A note on fit: I tested a size large, which proved too roomy for my 6’1”, 180-pound frame. Perhaps size down or try a SCOTTeVEST piece on if possible before you buy. In the end, the Sportsman Vest is a nerdy and niche product, but one that I can get behind. It’s built for gear junkies, especially organizational freaks who like to hunt, fish, hike, or travel with lots of small items, lots of essentials on their person, and everything in its place.

WINEINK
ANCIEN WINES: GLOBAL PINOT AND A LOCAL VINEYARD “FERNANDO KNOWS these vines so well that he talks to them like they are friends. You can feel him grieve when one begins to falter,” said Ken Bernards, the owner/winemaker of Ancien wines in the Coombsville appellation in the southern reaches of Napa Valley. We were standing in the historic Haynes Vineyard KELLY J. on a toasty warm HAYES February morning. The Fernando that Ken is referring to is Fernando Delgado, a much loved vineyard manager who, since the early 1970s, has tended the chardonnay and pinot noir grapes in this vineyard. It is a supreme patch of land that was originally planted in 1966 under the tutelage of Louis Martini Louis Sr.. In the world of California wines, both the vineyard and Fernando are considered treasures. “You know it is one thing to come to a wine region, look around and see what is planted and what is working,” said Ken. “But, when Martini was here, there weren’t benchmarks, there weren’t success stories. It was all about finding a place and saying ‘I think pinot will work here, or I think cabernet will be good there.’” Ken told this story as he wrapped a hand around the solid torso of a 50-year-old chardonnay vine planted on St. George stock. It sat in soils that are the residue of an ancient volcano that, both coincidently and poetically, is also named St. George. The towering peak looms just to the north, over Ken’s shoulder. The soils below, he explains, are called “tufa,” which is a layer of compressed volcanic ash. The stones are dense but exceedingly light. The tufa stones drain the topsoils, storing moisture in rich clays underneath. As the St. George vines labor to grow roots deep into the tufa layer, they access moisture during long, dry growing seasons. A trait that has made them especially adept during the recent drought years. Ken is all about the vineyards. While the phrase “the vineyards
14
A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY
F
make the wine” has become the go-to cliché for a number of winemakers, for Ken there is no place more important then the sites where he selects his grapes. Significantly, and perhaps surprisingly given his location in Coombsville, an appellation known for the production of cabernet sauvignon, Ancien is a Burgundy house, which is to say they specialize exclusively in the production of pinot noir, chardonnay and a little pinot gris. His wines are a reflection of his sensibilities and priorities. Making wines that exhibit balance and an expression of the place where they are grown are goals that he strives to achieve with each bottling. As we sat in the Ancien Barrel Room tasting Ancien Haynes Vineyard wines from the 2007 through 2013 vintages, Ken told me how he came to be a passionate pinot patriarch. Raised in McMinnville, Oregon, now the heart of the Willamette Valley’s pinot-centric wine country, Ken came to the Napa Valley in the mid-1980s after studying chemistry at Oregon State. His first job was at Domaine Chandon, the sparkling wine house outside of Yountville that specialized in the production of pinot noir and chardonnay. But it was a visit to Burgundy that sparked the fire that burns today. In 1992, he made his five barrels of pinot noir with fruit sourced from Carneros. He has been on a quest ever since to produce perfection. Not one to be bound by convention, Ken has decided that there is a big world out there with some great vineyards. Rather than restricting himself to the vineyards he can see, as some winemakers do, his quest has been to make wines in his Coombsville facility from some of the best grapes he can source, no matter where they are. Today he has contracts for grapes from two of the West Coast’s top pinot producing sites, Kathy Joseph’s Fiddlestix Vineyard in the Ste. Rita Hills appellation of the Santa Barbara Coast, and the much loved Shea Vineyard in the Willamette Valley, just a dozen or so miles from where he was raised. This is in keeping for a man

who is the first, and likely the only, winemaker to produce true Burgundy — as in made from grapes grown in Burgundy — in California. In a whimsical moment just before the turn of the century, Ken thought “Why not?” “I had met a guy in Aspen at the Food & Wine Classic,” he recalled, “and he was buying some land in Morey-St. Denis. The conversation turned to how neither of us had ever heard of anyone purchasing grapes and shipping them to California and vinifying them here.” Well, yeah. Because it is a crazy idea. But not to Ken, who made the idea a reality. “We bought a couple of tons of grapes, put them in boxes with dry ice, drove them to Lyon, shrink-wrapped the packages in a product that would keep them cold but not frozen, and sent them to San Francisco,” Ken chuckled as he once again, perhaps for the thousandth time, told the story to
a disbeliever. Only 45 cases of the wine, which he appropriately dubbed, “Par Avion,” were produced and, according to Ken, what remains is unique in all the wine world. A testament to a pinotphile who has, in his own words, “an imaginative, if warped mind.” Kelly J.

THE ANCIEN COLLECTION OF HANYES CHARDONNAY 2007-2013 The only thing that could bring me inside on that gorgeous February day was a chance to taste through a seven-year vertical of the Ancien chardonnay that had been grown in the Haynes Vineyard. As we took our seats in the barrel room with Ken and his staff, it became clear we were tasting history, not just Ken’s, but the vineyards as well. With each successive vintage, moving from old to new, we could taste the nuance, the subtle changes that were the result of variations in the weather of the given vintage, or the oak regimens that were utilized with each bottling. It was an unprecedented opportunity and an educational experience.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS
PRIVATE PRACTICE
YOGA PRINCIPLES INSPIRE TRUE NOURISHMENT FROM FOOD ONCE UPON A TIME, I found myself staring down a raisin at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Mass. No doubt, this mindful eating workshop would have looked ridiculous to an outside observer: A roomful of students, each scrutinizing the landscape of a single, shriveled berry in the time that most people would have downed an entire snack-size box. AMANDA We were instructed RAE to scrutinize the raisins, mull over thoughts and feelings that surfaced, and document everything. I turned the reddish-brown morsel over in my hands, tracing its tiny, rugged wrinkles. I noticed its shape change with the heat of my fingers. I held the raisin to my nose and inhaled its overripe, almost dusty fragrance. I thought of eating Raisin Bran cereal at Grandpa’s house, and wondered if those sugar-shellacked specimens were really raisins at all. My mouth watered in anticipation of tearing this raisin apart. Maybe I’d just swallow it. Was it lunchtime yet? Finally, we were to place the raisin on our tongues — but to hold off on chewing, for now. I rolled the raisin over in my mouth, feeling its parched, rough skin became soft, slick, plump. It tasted faintly sweet, a promise of more sweetness to come. When directed to eat our raisins at long last, I bit into an edge, opening it up delicately with my teeth. The inside was gummy and sticky, with a slight crystalline crunch. I chewed that raisin one micro-nibble at a time until the timer dinged. I remember feeling mixed emotions afterward. Pondering the simple act of eating a raisin may have changed my experience—I noticed textures and flavors I hadn’t considered before. Sure, I slowed my pace at lunch that day. But a week later, I was inhaling a Cobb salad as if I’d never see cheese or bacon on greens ever again. I’m reminded of the long-lost raisin exercise last week at Justice Snow’s, when holistic nutrition coach and yoga therapist Emily Hightower sketches tree roots on a big sheet of paper by way of introducing twenty

or so people gathered here to her Shakti Talk, The Yoga of Food. “Our food is an unconscious practice, for most of us,” Hightower says. “It’s full of confusion and misinformation and impossible standards for what we need to eat to look a certain way. It is a practice to change the way that we relate to food.” Hightower uses the 10 yoga principles — understood through the metaphor of a tree — paired with food psychology, nutrition education, and mindfulness skills to help folks better tune into natural cues and modify negative eating behaviors. Just as it took many humbling months to build back strength in yoga class following a knee injury last winter, I realize that eating with purpose requires a return to that meditative raisin experience. Practice. Hightower shows us that the yoga tree’s five roots represent yama, or personal values: peace, trust, abundance, restraint, and detachment. By determining what one considers important (or not), an individual can claim her inner beliefs and commit to personal practices (niyama, which form the tree trunk) that might guide future choices and thus unravel poor habits on a path to nourishment and harmony. “We start with ahimsa, or peace, so I can help people make peace with their bodies,” she says of the first yama root. Similarly, do we support nonviolence toward animals or not? Do we eat meat? There’s no right or wrong answer, she says, just commitment to taking responsibility without judgment. That’s her issue with diets: strict rules and shamemongering. Hightower’s Off the Mat Into the Kitchen method, which she offers as a 90-day online course, is not one-size-fit-all. As with yoga, it’s a deeply personal lifestyle practice. “If I give you the rules of how you need to express connection and gratitude to food, you’re less likely to follow them,” Hightower explains. “You’re not making decisions because some diet told you to eat Paleo or vegan, but [according to] personal values, and a belief of your body being valuable as well. You’re invested in creating peace in your life through food.”
Mar ch 3 - Mar ch 9 , 2016
Hightower moved to Aspen at age 21. She became a river guide and a mountain medic and started practicing yoga. Through a yogateacher training workshop in Hawaii with renowned yogi Deborah Koehn she realized that yoga was helping to heal underlying emotional eating issues stemming from teenage trauma. “I wasn’t in an environment that had the addictive, conventional foods I’d been raised on,” Hightower says. “I flooded myself with nutrients from whole foods. I did yoga and was in nature every day. I wanted to help other people feel this vital resurgence that came to me in that practice.” For more than a decade, Hightower has been helping others reconnect positively with nutrition through her company, Ondalu (which means “wave of light,” or the personal truth one must tap into for real transformation). “A big motivator, for me, is this modern disconnect we have from nature,” she says. “Often, we think we’re connected to nature because we like to recreate in it. Just because we ski or kayak or climb doesn’t mean that our consumption patterns reflect our environmental values.” (True: a recent study confirms that Pitkin County residents produce twice as much trash as the national average — a rate that could see our landfill clogged by 2029.) “Food gives us a doorway to authentically connect with nature,” Hightower
continues. “Without food, we wouldn’t be here.” According to yoga philosophy, what’s good for nature is good for everyone. People disengaged from composting food waste might make choices that continue that disconnect. Examining the way we treat the planet, then, reflects back on our spiritual values. “It’s an empowering perspective on food behavior,” Hightower says. It all circles back to the raisin. “When you slow down and eat with pleasure, your body relaxes, absorbs nutrients, and floods your cells with what they need,” Hightower says. “In yoga this relates to the practice of santosha or bringing contentment to your actions.” (To try it, see sidebar, opposite page.) Studies show that stress, distraction, and speed release hormones that affect food choices, absorption, digestion, and even fat storage. These also inhibit satiation cues, so our bodies crave sugar and caffeine to match our quickpaced, empty eating habits. Instead, Hightower urges us to “chew into the truth of your daily life.” The quest to maintain a positive relationship with food — and the planet — is never-ending. As I’ve learned though yoga, practice doesn’t make perfect. Instead, it requires more practice. amandaraewashere@gmail.com
by AMANDA RAE
THE OM OF YUM Holistic nutrition coach and yoga therapist Emily Hightower teaches mindful eating for better digestion, satiety, and enjoyment through the yogic practice of santosha* or bringing contentment to one’s actions. Here’s how to try it: o Shut the computer, silence your phone, or pull off the road (or save this until you can sit at a table) and take a good look at your food. Yes, look at it! o Now, smell the food. Smell wakes up salivary glands and prepares the acid buffer in your stomach for better digestion. o Take conscious bites, chewing fully. Swallow before taking more food. o Pause. Breathe. Notice the desire to do something else while you eat. Consider contentment in this moment. “With practice, you’ll look forward to the brain-break that slow eating gives from modern life’s myriad, constant stress,” Hightower explains. “Moreover, you won’t miss another part of life while trying to take in more than is reasonable at once. Truly, with santosha, less is more.” *In yoga philosophy, santosha is a niyama — a personal practice that creates harmony in life.

“I don’t want to just heal emotional eating, I want to create food consciousness for today’s modern world,” says holistic nutritionist and yoga therapist Emily Hightower.

THE MOGUL MANIAC I can tell you from experience that the Après Ski Cocktail Classic is THE place to be if you like a good libation. Among the cocktails that have caught my attention in this year’s installment are the Pastole Pistol, Silver Miner’s Daughter, The Barbie and more (see The Aspen Times’ Saturday edition for more on these and other Great Après Pub Crawl offerings). But when I received an email bounceback from Jonathan Pogash, aka “The Cocktail Guru,” that included a recipe for what he’ll be serving up this weekend,

my tastebuds really woke up.

ASPEN UNTUCKED
by BARBARA PLATTS
Carbondale’s Marble Distillery Inn offers a perfect escape from the ordinary weekend routine.
DOWNVALLEY RENDEZVOUS DEVIATING FROM THE TYPICAL ROUTINE
AT TIMES, we are all guilty of getting stuck in our ways. We have our selection of restaurants we frequent, where we typically have one or two dishes we consistently order. We stick to our favorite cocktail or glass of wine in the evenings at the usual happy hour spot. And we even tend to shop in the same places. This certainly isn’t a crime. We all like what we like for a reason. We BARBARA tend to be creatures of PLATTS habit, which helps to make our lives more efficient. However, every once in a while, it’s important to throw a wrench into the ordinary routine and try something different. That is exactly what my boyfriend Matt and I decided to do the other weekend. We had been talking about having a weekend stay in Carbondale at the new Marble Distillery Inn for months. He had even given me a gift certificate to the new lodge/bar/ distillery for Christmas. Then, on a recent Thursday, after a few glasses of wine, we spontaneously decided to book a couple of nights at the Inn. The next day, we packed up our bags, found a sitter for the pup and headed past the roundabout to ’Bonedale. The two-day adventure was an absolute blast. We discovered new places and visited old favorites. We

met new people and even ran into old friends (no matter how hard you try, it’s hard to be a stranger in the Roaring Fork Valley). If you too are looking for a deviation from your typical routine, I highly recommend heading downvalley for some exploration. Here are a few of our recommendations:
WHERE TO PROCURE THAT CRAFTY COCKTAIL Carbondale has no shortage of watering holes, but some places are known for their mixology expertise. Marble Distillery Inn is one of those places. I especially liked their MarbleRita, which is a revision of the typical margarita, made with the distillery’s own Gingercello and Stripped Margarita Mix. To top it off, they dip the top of the glass in honey and then again in crystallized ginger. You’ll be drooling over the concoction before it even makes it to your lips. Another favorite cocktail from the weekend, which I was not expecting, is the Cocaine Mustache from Town.
WHERE TO ENJOY A COLD ONE For a small town, Carbondale knows its brews. Newish to the area, Roaring Fork Beer Company is known for its ever-changing seasonal concoctions (they produce two or three per season). Every time I go
Mar ch 3 - Mar ch 9 , 2016
into the tasting room there is a new flavor to be discovered. However, if you like to stick to a favorite, there are two that are permanently available for your enjoyment: Slaughterhouse Lager and Freestone Extra Pale Ale. Another good beer destination is Carbondale Beerworks, which is your typical neighborhood brewpub. The kind of place where, if you go enough, everybody knows your name. Many of the brews are seasonal.
WHERE TO DINE Two of my favorite places to eat in Carbondale are Town and Phat Thai, both which are owned by Roaring Fork Valley local Mark Fischer. At these locations the food is high quality and typically sourced with local ingredients. But that’s not what makes these places so special. It’s the creativity in each and every dish that is served. Matt and I went to both of these places and ended up ordering just about every small plate on the menu because we couldn’t choose just one dish to enjoy.
WHERE TO SHOP There are lots of fun shops in Carbondale, but the one I always come back to time and time again is Luxe Nest. This home decor boutique has so many cute knick knacks from picture frames and candles to silly cards and funky
coffee mugs. They also have a lot of larger pieces of furniture like couches, tables and chairs. I could spend hours going through the pristinely cluttered store.
WHERE TO SPA True Nature Healing Arts is known for its yoga classes, raw food delicacies and outdoor Peace Garden, but I think a part of the center that is often overlooked is the petit spa. The treatments are very holistic, looking at the physical, mental and emotional state of the patient. Matt and I both got Ayurvedic massages in the spa’s beautiful treatment rooms. Afterward, we enjoyed some tasty peppermint tea and raw chocolate truffles. Sometimes we get so caught up in our busy lives and our typical routines that we forget to branch out and try something different. Try deviating from the plan from time to time. Leave your favorite sandwich or tasty pasta dish behind for a night and give something else a go. You never know, you may find a new favorite habit to add to your typical routine. Barbara Platts has found that new adventures are the best recipe for boredom. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

IN THE SPIRITS DOES MIXOLOGY MATTER WHEN IT COMES CRAFTING THE PERFECT COCKTAIL? by Jeanne McGovern
ONCE UPON A TIME, COCKTAILS WERE AS SIMPLE AS A MARTINI — shaken not stirred, with three olives. Not any more. In fact, cocktailing has become an art form, and those who dream up the concoctions have become masters of their craft. They are the mixologists; the men and women who blend science and spirits to pour the next great drink. But, at the end of the night, what inspires the mixology movement — in Aspen and beyond? And how does the “talent” behind the 2016 Après Ski Cocktail Classic see the ever-changing landscape of liquid gold. A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

“I FEEL WHAT INSPIRES ME IS experimenting and learning,” says Alex Guevara, who tends bar at Jimmy’s - An American Restaurant. “Much like a kid in candy store, tasting awesome, well-made spirits and combining them into something exciting and new is what gives me the most joy — a joy I hope to share with all my guests through delicious drinks and a gracious welcome.” Of course crafting those well-made spirits into a drink that stands up to the stiff competition in bars across the country is no easy task, especially considering that bartenders are often mixologists. And what, you ask, is the difference between these two people behind the bar? The answers vary — from education to experience to execution. For example, a person who pours a vodka tonic might be considered a bartender, while a person who takes a more culinary approach to pouring that drink would be dubbed a mixologist. Some say the renaissance of the mixologist is due in large part to the boom in premium spirits over the past two decade; others argue it’s a direct reflection of our increasingly adventuresome palate in this global economy. But, in the end, the mixologist is a real person — and has been for some time. A 1856 edition of Knickerbocker magazine featured a columnist asking: “Who ever heard of a man calling the barkeeper a mixologist of tipicular fixing . . . ?” And the 1960 U.S. Census Report listed mixologist as one of the four sub-categories of bartender (the other three sub-categories were the barkeeper, the drinkmixer, and the tavern-car attendant).

But “mixologist” is a title some in the business eschew: “My take on mixology....I am not a mixologist and think there is a lot of ego behind the term,” says Ryan Sterling, the man behind the J-bar in the Hotel Jerome. “I would prefer to be a bartender that makes the experience of the guest better. That is a very individualized experience.” Still, Sterling and his brothers in bottle service — whether bartender or mixologist — have much in common when it comes to creating craft cocktails. “No need to be fancy or fussy,” says Brigid Albert,
director of education for Southern Wine & Spirits, who will again lead “How to Put the ‘Hot’ in Your Toddy!” at this year’s Cocktail Classic. “Trust and use what Mother Nature brings us each season in your cocktails.” That sentiment — using fresh ingredients to create cocktails people want to drink —seems universal when it comes to success as a bartender or mixologist. “Ultimately you want the drink to taste good,” says Tim Baldwin, director of food and beverage for The Little Nell. “My approach is to try to make a drink that most people will like and if first you don’t succeed, don’t give up and keep tasting away.” And at the heart of the mixology movement, according to those who know best: “Keep it simple. Enjoy what you do and try and put a smile on people’s face,” adds Kelsi Moore, director of events at Casa Tua Aspen. For author and mixologist Kim Hassarud, who has been part of the Après Ski Cocktail Classic since its inception, this translates to starting with a great ingredient — “or a smell” — and working to create a drink that really embodies that ingredients or aroma. Jonathan Pogash, aka “The Cocktail Guru,” takes this mixology methodology one step further. “The key to mixology is innovative cocktails that are easy to replicate at home … I try to teach proper technique and use of quality ingredients, because the cocktails you serve are only as good as the ingredients and process behind them,” he says.

“I would like to explain the extreme versatility of a few classic cocktails.” ANTHONY BOHLINGER, HEAD BARTENDER , CHEF’S CLUB/NEW YORK
“Cognac has been around longer than many other spirits, Hennessy was founded in 1765. The over two and half century legacy of Hennessy has deep roots in cocktail culture across the globe. It has lived through many wars and rebellions at its doorstep. Throughout its legacy, the product has always been perfection. Now is the time to explore a beautiful spirit and taste history.” JORDAN BUSHELL, HENNESSY MASTER MIXOLOGIST
“Cocktails are fun! Enjoy the experience when creating a cocktail. Play with your ingredients. Include your family and friends. Let’s bring home entertainment back!” BRIGID ALBERT, DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, SOUTHERN WINE & SPIRITS
“I love to think outside the box with innovative approaches to après ski cocktails, as well as with the events that I do. I have quite a varied schedule this year where I’ll be mixing up coffee and cocoa cocktails, demonstrating a King’s Ginger cocktail, hosting a cocktail and dinner pairing event with Glenrothes single malt, and judging the ‘Search for the Real McCoy with The Real McCoy rum on Saturday.”
TIPS FROM THE TALENT
WHAT THE MASTER MIXOLOGIST WANT YOU TO LEARN AT THIS YEAR’S APRÈS SKI COCKTAIL CLASSIC ...
JONATHAN POGASH, “THE COCKTAIL GURU”
“We want people to walk away with the love of the mountains, love of being with friends and people, and a new found love of spirits. There is something about being in the mountains — the awe and beauty of it — kind of feels like you’re away at camp, but with friends and with good libations. We want it to be an experience that people will always remember and want to experience again and again.” KIM HASSARUD, MIXOLOGIST/AUTHOR A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

Jordan Bushell, Hennessy’s “Master Mixologist,” believes the best in the business can do this as simply as making that classic martini. “I look to delight and surprise with as few ingredients as possible,” Bushell says. “To ask someone to name me their three favorite ingredients and I can make them something delicious and versatile …” Regardless, many will argue that mixologist is just a moniker. What matters most is the people behind the titles and the customers they serve. “Mixology these days refers too much to the drink itself and not enough about the guest anymore,” says Mattias Horseman of Chefs Club by Food & Wine at the St. Regis Aspen. “As bartenders, we’re here to be whoever the person on the other side of the stick needs us to be. We’re trying to coin the term ‘drink smith’ because a smith makes something for you specifically. “The best drink starts and finishes with the relationship you can create across the bar.” jmcgovern@aspentimes.com

5POINT IN ASPEN
MAY SELBY
REFLECTING ON its nine years in the business of “inspiring adventures of all kinds, connecting generations through shared experience, engaging passion with a conscience and educating through film,” 5Point Film has established its place in the world of adventure film festivals. When 5Point founder and executive director Julie Kennedy conceived of the nonprofit, her concept was to present a four-day festival each spring in Carbondale. Building on its popularity and success over the years, it has since grown to encompass events yearround and on the road.
In 2015, 5Point introduced festivals in Asheville, N.C., and Bellingham, Wash., with more Midwest and Northeast locations to be announced for 2017 and 2018. In this same vein, 5Point created a winter fundraiser in Aspen several years ago, held at The Wheeler, as a way to share short films, interview special guests and spread the stoke for the flagship festival in the spring. This year’s 5Point benefit in Aspen took place in late January with host Chris Kalous and a concert-style program with more than 10 short documentary adventure films and
Tracy Wilson, Jim Harris, Sarah Wood, Sarah Uhl, Krystle Jorja, Anthony Bonello and Reuben Krabbe.

ON MY RADAR: ADVENTURE FOODIE TRAVEL FOR SUMMER RECENTLY, the Adventure Travel Trade Association noted that 71 percent of adventure travel itineraries now have an experiential food focus. Cooking classes and visits to wineries, breweries and distilleries were ranked as the most requested activities, according to tour operators and travel agents nationwide. The study also revealed that more than one-third of global tourism spending AMIEE WHITE is on food and drink, and BEAZLEY travelers are increasingly identifying local food and food experiences as their primary and secondary motivations for choosing specific destinations. If you, like me, fall into the category of food-and-wine-obsessed adventure traveler, take a look at these 10 awesome tours to take this summer: 1. Tuscany “Slow Food” Cycling: Join a family-run farm in the heart of Tuscany for a cycling and epicurean adventure dedicated to the “Slow Food” movement.

Wines of Mendoza: It’s hardly news that Mendoza is the heart of Argentina’s wine country, the fifth largest wine producer in the world. Home to 80 percent of the Argentine production, Mendoza is much more than just another wine destination — the wines, the architectural diversity, the unique landscapes and the warmth of the locals make this wine country worth visiting. www.frontiersej.com/ public/elegantJourneys/1/Wines_of_ Mendoza/main_menu_ej Amiee White Beazley writes about travel for the Aspen Times Weekly.

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

ART GOES WILD THE CARBONDALE-BASED conservation watchdog Wilderness Workshop has been sending artists into the woods since 2008 through its artist-in-wilderness program. What six of them captured in the wild is now on display at the Launchpad Gallery. The residency puts local, state and national artists in a cabin near Marble for a week during the summertime and gives them the freedom to make art inspired by their surroundings and the land Wilderness Workshop aims to protect. Local artists have been included as well. The Launchpad show, titled “Colorado Artists in Wilderness Residency: Past and Present,” showcases works by Centennial State participants: watercolorist Joan Engler (2008), painter Michael Kinsley (2009), mixed-media artist Sylvia Emery Wilhelm (2010), sculptor Nancy Lovendahl (2012), sculptor Jill Scher (2013) and painter Ellen
Woods (2015) who also curated the show. Their work ranges from representational landscapes to impressionistic and abstract pieces inspired by the outdoors. Last year, Wilderness Workshop brought five artists into the woods through the program, and draws applicants from the Roaring Fork Valley, across the U.S. and around the world. In 2008, the program received six applications. This year, as word has spread about the opportunity, it received 36. The program was founded to honor watercolorist and wilderness advocate Dottie Fox. Participants are chosen by a jury of artists and collectors. “Art and wilderness have quite a lot in common if you just open your eyes,” Workshop board member Mary Dominick-Coomer told The Aspen Times last year. “Art is all
around us. The initial idea was, ‘Why not have an artist in the wilderness and capture their impressions?’” Artists are free to do what they like with their time in the wild. The nonprofit requires participating artists to donate one piece of work to be auctioned off for Wilderness Workshop’s benefit and license additional works for Wilderness Workshop materials, such as notecards and posters. The first auction of Artist in Wilderness works included 14 of their pieces and took place in the summer of 2014.
Art-centric events like the auctions and the Launchpad show serve as a unique kind of outreach for the nonprofit, aiming to bring art collectors and enthusiasts who might not otherwise interact with a wilderness advocacy group into the fold and to see the value in protecting public lands. “It’s quite different from going on a hike or taking part in a political movement to save the Thompson Divide,” Dominick-Coomer says. atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW
NOTEWORTHY
‘WHAT REMAINS OF ME’ AN ERA IN WHICH privacy is becoming a myth and people’s lives often are played out in the media, scrutinized for every telling detail, makes a provocative foundation for Alison Gaylin’s absorbing “What Remains of Me.” In this stand-alone thriller, Gaylin delves into the dark side of pop culture, Hollywood power and tabloid reporting for a multilayered story about a woman forever associated with a crime. “What Remains of Me” also shows how snap judgments can forever taint a person’s reputation. Kelly Lund knows firsthand how image is shaped by public perception. When she was 17 and high on pot and cocaine, Kelly was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for murdering Oscar-nominated director John McFadden in his Hollywood home. The motive for the murder has remained unclear, though the media suggested it was related to the death two years earlier
‘What Remains of Me’ Alison Gaylin William Morrow, 2016 384 pages, hardcover
of Kelly’s fraternal twin, Catherine, a wanna-be actress who leaped from an overlook in the San Gabriel Valley. While in prison, Kelly married Shane Marshall, the son of movie star Sterling Marshall whose wife, Mary, helped secure her release after 25 years. Now around 47, Kelly has been out of prison for five years, trying to live quietly, when she becomes the prime suspect in the death of her father-in-law. Sterling Marshall was shot to death in the same way that McFadden was killed. The new murder puts Kelly back in the media glare, fodder for entertainment/ gossip programs, vilified by crime commentators and pursued by a tabloid reporter who wrote a true-crime book about her. A now iconic photograph of Kelly with her “killer smile” and “dead eyes” taken outside the Los Angeles courthouse during her trial is analyzed as proof of her callous, unfeeling nature.
The photograph was taken by Bellamy Marshall, who was Kelly’s best friend in high school and is now her sister-in-law. Augmented by fabricated news accounts, including bogus TMZ posts, and excerpts from a fake true crime book, acute character studies and myriad tangled relationships briskly move the suspenseful “What Remains of Me” to a believable conclusion. In many ways, Gaylin creates six different characters depicting Kelly, Shane and Bellamy as teenagers and as adults, showing how their personalities have evolved through the years. Gaylin, who won several awards for her paperback series about Brenna Spector, delivers a stunning story in “What Remains of Me.”
