THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

FILM THE ASPEN CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES (ACES) hosts the Wild & Scenic Film Festival at the Wheeler Opera House on Wednesday, March 18. Emceed by hometown girl and X Games snowboard champion Gretchen Bleiler, the evening will feature 13 inspiring short films from the longrunning Nevada City, Calif., film festival. The festival’s movies blend outdoor adventure, activism, conservation and sheer beauty, taking audiences around the world on land, snow and water, from Utah to Ethiopia, Namibia to Norway, with some familiar faces like Jeremy Jones and Pete McBride. The diverse lineup of films — none of which have previously screened in the valley — range from “The Great Frack Forward,” an investigation of how China is using American-style natural gas technology to wean itself off coal, to “The Joy of Air,” a sumptuous visual celebration of jumping off stuff narrated with poetry read by a young boy. Also included are the Oscarnominated documentary short “White Earth,” about immigrant oil workers in North Dakota, and Basalt filmmaker Pete McBride’s “River of Eden,” about conservation in the Fijian Highlands. Tickets are $12 ($15 at the door). They’re available at the Wheeler box office and www.aspenshowtix.com. Proceeds from the night of film benefit ACES’ Tomorrow’s Voices program, in honor of the late Willard Clapper, who cofounded it with A.O. Forbes of the Colorado Rocky Mountain School. The program, founded in 2000, merged with ACES in 2010. It provides extracurricular environmental education programs and lessons on civics and ethics for Roaring Fork Valley high school students, putting young people in dialogue with community members.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival comes to the Wheeler Opera House on Wednesday, March 18. Presented by the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, the night of screenings benefits the Tomorrow’s Voice program.

CURRENTEVENTS MUSIC

The annual America’s Uphill race will take over Aspen Mountain in the early morning of Saturday, March 14.

LATIN JAZZ LEGEND PONCHO SANCHEZ will return to Aspen for a two-night, four-show run at the JAS Café this weekend. Sanchez, a multiple Grammy winner, most recently played the Café last summer. With an eightpiece band and a signature sound that blends Latin, soul, swing, bebop and more, the percussionist’s sounds make the club at the Little Nell — and the audience — shake. Performances are March 13 and 14 at 7 and 9:15 p.m. Tickets are $35 to $45 and available at 866-JAS-TIXX or online at www.jazzaspensnowmass.org.

RACE HOBBYISTS AND HARDCORE MOUNTAINEERS alike will convene at the base of Aspen Mountain on Saturday morning for the annual America’s Uphill. The race up Ajax’s 3,000-plus feet of vertical is a local spring tradition, with hundreds of racers banding together for the sufferfest and making their way up on snowshoes, spikes, splitboards, Nordic skis, alpine touring set-ups and all manner of gear to the finish line at the Sundeck. The race starts at 7 a.m. Registration is $40 in advance at Ute Mountaineer and $50 on race day. More info at www.utemountaineer.com.

with JOHN COLSON

Rio Grande Trail is what it ought to be THE LAND SPECULATORS and their apologists of the lower Roaring Fork Valley are getting a little hysterical these days, if recent blatherings about the uses of the Rio Grande Trail are any indication of their collective mental state. I refer, in case you haven’t heard or read, to the ongoing controversy surrounding the so-called Access Control Plan for roughly 33 miles of mostly paved trail that has been laid over the old Denver and Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) Railroad bed between Woody Creek and Glenwood Springs. It’s been a good long while since that designation (D&RGW) has been applied to what has been a valley-long path for hikers and bikers since before the turn of this century. Prior to creation of the trail, the rails carried trains bearing ore from the Pitkin Iron Corporation’s iron mine up Castle Creek, a few miles from the ghost town of Ashcroft, and the Coal Basin coal mines up the Crystal River near Redstone, two mining operations that were under the same corporate umbrella. But both those mining facilities were abandoned in the late 1900s, a circumstance that led directly to the purchase of the rail right of way by a public entity known as the Roaring Fork Railroad Holding Authority (RFRHA), later transmogrified to the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA), the valley’s bus company that now controls the right of way and has been managing it as a “rail-banked” property being preserved for the possible future resumption of freight and passenger train travel in the valley. At a recent meeting of RFTA officials with other government types in Glenwood Springs, the private-property-rights crowd came out in force to dominate the conversation and put RFTA in its place, which in the view of its critics would be to stick to running buses and allow the rail corridor ownership to revert to those who own property alongside the trail. In addition to the property-rights angle, the elected leaders of the city of Glenwood Springs and Garfield County have been chafing and muttering among themselves about the public nature of the right of way ever since RFRHA bought the line back in 1997. Garfield County has been in a state of perpetual outrage over ownership of the trail by an entity perceived as doing the bidding of Aspen and Pitkin County. It is part of an anti-Aspen, anti-Pitkin County bias that has long held sway over certain limited intellects in the lower valley. The city, for its part, has long wanted the right of way as a possible component of a mythical bypass that would take the

traffic pressure off of Grand Avenue (which also is Colorado Highway 82 as it shoots through town and heads south toward Aspen.) But the Glenwood City Council is the very entity to blame for the fact that nothing effective has been done to create a bypass over the past half-century. And now they want to blame RFTA, which is only doing what it is legally required to do under federal rail-banking regulations, to protect the integrity of the right of way from bumbling public and private development efforts. I notice that one area newspaper blamed RFTA for stifling development of a large parcel of land at the confluence of Cattle Creek and the Roaring Fork River, when in fact what has stymied that development has been a combination of bad economics and corporate fantasizing. The development proposals for that property, once known as Sanders Ranch but most recently called River Edge, have been of questionable validity since the land was bought (for its water rights) by Union Oil of California back in the oil shale boom days of the late 1970s. It is perched halfway between Carbondale and Glenwood Springs, and the idea of a virtual new town at that site has been nothing more than a speculator’s wet dream. Some of those at the recent RFTA parroted that message and many other foolish notions to bolster their demand that RFTA back off from the access control plan, when to do so ultimately would mean the end of the line, so to speak, for the Rio Grande trail and for any possibility of future passenger rail service here in the valley. That would be another bit of shortsighted policy-making by downvalley officials for whom the phrases “progress” and “irresponsible development” are interchangeable. I should note, by way of full disclosure, that I have argued over decades that the resumption of rail service between Aspen and Glenwood Springs is the only logical use for that right of way, and a use that will do more than anything else to save this valley from the unintended consequences of traffic congestion and air pollution that come from pretending that highways are the only way for people to move around. Anything that would get in the way of that goal is to be avoided at all costs, lest we wake up some day and realize that shortsighted profiteering has eliminated our chance to do something truly progressive, environmentally friendly and socially beneficial to all.

Those who take children to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History often do not get beyond the giant dinosaurs. For those who do, the mineral collection offers an entire afternoon’s entertainment.

MINERAL MUSEUMS Fans of flowers will travel great distances to visit an arboretum.

Rhododendrons, roses of all colors and fragrances, and exotic species from around the planet greet visitors as they stroll verdant landscapes. Those of us who prefer rocks to plants also have our favorites, and we flock to museums to see rhodochrosite, rubies, and rarities of all colors of sulfides. The Smithsonian and Los Angeles museums of natural history exhibit phenomenal rock and mineral collections. Closer to home, Denver’s museum has one of the best in the country. Some visitors feel drawn to the items they associate with dollar value, such as the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian or the gold specimens in Denver. Rock hounds like me are fascinated by the diversity of crystal shapes and mineral colors — blues and greens of azurite and malachite gleaming with hues as rich as those of any flower, delicate vivianite crystal structures as intricate as those of orchids. Tourists travel to Aspen to see wildflowers. I must admit that as a child I gave them notice only when I pushed them aside to examine rocky outcroppings. The colors and textures of Aspen’s abundant rocks and minerals kept my eyes on the ground for most of my childhood. I did not venture to the Denver natural history museum until I

Shiny galena, set in contrasting white barite, shone as my favorite. As an Aspen child I did not find silver to be any more interesting than a child in a coal town would a consider a commonplace lump of coal. Fortunately people in other cities found silver specimens interesting, because two of my mining uncles

would walk over to his house and ask to see his rocks. Each item — crystals such as beryl, garnet and tourmaline — was wrapped in tissue paper and labeled with a typewritten name. My uncle Johnny displayed his collection on glass shelves with a strong light that highlighted the colors. I always worried that if I picked one up I might drop it

and break the glass. His were not labeled, but he was always wiling to answer my unending question, “What is this?” Our family friend Fritz Kaeser opened a rock store, more as a hobby than as a business. He spent his winters in Tucson and collected rocks around the Southwest. He cut them with a lapidary saw or tumbled them until they shone with a fine glossy sheen. He sold dinosaur bones, agate, jasper, rose quartz, amethyst and my favorite minerals, the ones that would fluoresce in his dark room under an ultraviolet light. For me his shop was a traveling museum, which appeared each summer for my entertainment. My appreciation for plant life developed during my adult years. I have since visited wonderful arboretums. But if I find myself in Los Angeles with a few hours to spare, I head to the natural history museum rather than the botanical gardens at the Huntington Library. If you plan a trip to Denver, especially if you have any 10-yearolds in tow, hurry them past the museum’s dinosaurs and head toward the minerals. 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.

1957 ASPEN

ON MARCH 7, 1957, the Aspen Daily Times reported on an unusual new structure being erected in town. As the paper noted, “one of the most unusual structures on the Western Slope, a buildingwithin-a-building is going up in Aspen. To be completed by early summer, the Gallun building, located between Mario’s and Aspen Drug, will house offices, shops and a restaurant on its three floors. Owned by Albert Gallun of Milwaukee and Aspen and designed by Fritz Benedict, the ell-shaped building opens onto a landscaped terrace below street level. Open balcony walks and stairways face into the terrace, and provide access to the various units. Of glass, brick and wood, the building is contemporary in concept but has been designed to meld with the dominantly Victorian architecture around it. The existing façade of Victorian posts and panels which extends from the West side of the new building across the front of the drug store, also owned by Gallun, will be preserved and restored to tie the new and old buildings into a cohesive whole.” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

GET LEVEL: STAND UP AT YOUR DESK

TWO YEARS AGO, sitting at my office desk, I felt a familiar twinge in my back brought on from typing and assuming the “hunch” position over a computer for way too long. I stood up, moved to a higher table surface, and I haven’t sat down since. My work day now includes six to eight hours of standing. Far from adding fatigue, standing seems to give me more energy, and studies now cite health benefits associated with standing versus sitting on your butt. A whole industry has bloomed from the trend, including auto-elevating desks, computer stands, and special mats for placing beneath your feet. I use a simple wood shelf as my main desk, a pine fourposter bought at Ikea that adjusts to offer varying surface heights. This month, a new product came across my radar called the Level. It’s a platform

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

Mar ch 1 2 - Mar ch 18 , 2015

with a wood deck and an uneven metal undercarriage. Step on it and you’re forced to balance as you stand and type or talk on the phone. The Level (www.fluidstance.com) is not meant to be a challenge. Unlike similar products I’ve used in the past, the Level adds only subtle instability underfoot. You can sometimes forget it is there. But the company touts it adds “just enough motion to get your heart rate up a bit,” citing around a 15-percent increase in beats per minute. This burns more calories and engages enough that you won’t lock your knees or stand in the same position for minutes (or hours) on end. After a few days of using it, I can endorse the Level as a valid stand-up desk accessory. As a bonus, the product looks sleek and is appropriate in any office setting — it’s more a

solid piece of furniture than a whacky fitness device you need to hide in the corner. It measures about 26 inches long and a foot wide. The platform is designed for anyone up to 300 pounds, the company notes. Made in the USA with premium wood and metal, the Level does not come cheap. It’s priced like a piece of furniture at $269 for the base model. You don’t need anything fancy to stand up at work. Items like the Level have their place, but a basic raised desk surface with a computer on top — and no chair in sight! — will get you going on the stand-up train. Hop on and try the chairless work day. You might never sit down again. Stephen Regenold writes about outdoors gear at www.gearjunkie.com.

WINEINK

PRESQU’ILE: BORN ON THE WIND BACK IN AUGUST OF 2005 a wisp of wind blew deep in the Atlantic, forming the foundation of Hurricane Katrina. It was impossible to imagine the profound effects the storm would have on Matt Murphy’s family and a winegrowing region in California’s Santa Maria Valley. But as they say, when a butterfly flaps KELLY J. its wings… HAYES On a recent trip to Santa Barbara, more than one wine aficionado told me that I should go to a winery just off the 101 Freeway near Santa Maria with a weird name, Presqu’ile. Matt Murphy, they said, has built an amazing showcase winery with the intent of creating world-class estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. I headed north where all expectations were exceeded. Presqu’ile’s spanking new facility is as state of the art as the art gets. Designed by San Francisco-based architects Taylor Lombardo (they designed the new Silver Oak winery in the Napa Valley), the contemporary stone, steel and glass structure sits at the top of 73 acres of freshly planted, certified sustainably farmed vineyards on a 200-acre property. With a cantilevered roofline that soars like a sail, the view from the promenade at the tasting room toward the Pacific lets one gather, full face, the winds that blow directly from the sea. While the art-filled tasting room is impressive, it is the winemaking facility itself that takes the breath away. Steel tanks, and concrete shaped eggs sit alongside the latest and greatest de-stemmers and presses in a pristine environment. The winery is impeccably crafted to allow for the gentlest treatment of grapes and juice. “We wanted it to be the best place possible to make the best wine possible,” Matt said. “We built the winery to do just that. We don’t rack a lot, we use gravity fed practices to be gentle with the grapes and we are big fans of whole cluster fermentation.” Of course, as in all winemaking, the grapes are the key and that is why the Murphys selected the Santa Maria Valley AVA.

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

“We looked up and down the coast,” Matt said, “but I was interested in making cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — the wines that I love.” Santa Maria, like the rest of the Santa Barbara wine regions, benefits from a unique quirk of geography. The way the California Coast juts into the Pacific, combined with upward thrusts of the tectonic plates below, have formed valleys that run west to east, allowing the cooling winds in summer to funnel through them. “The balance between acidity and alcohol in the Santa Maria Valley was such a lure. My father was interested in some place like Napa or Sonoma initially but when he came here he saw what we did.” Sourcing Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc from their own vineyards, along with outstanding cool climate vineyards like Bien Nacido, Solomon Hills, Rim Rock and Phelan Ranch, has given Presqu’iles grapes balance, complexity and clarity. And a defining characteristic of the region is “Santa Maria Spice” — a subtle sandalwood spice component that makes the wines uniquely interesting. The Murphys have made Presqu’ile a family affair. Matt’s brother, sister and their spouses are all involved with the winery. The winemaker, Dieter Cronje, is a South African with a degree from the University of Stellenbosch. Ironically, Dieter was once Matt’s boss at a now defunct winery in the region. “I took a job as a cellar rat, at a place where Dieter was the head winemaker,” Matt laughed. “I pulled up with a surfboard on my car and golf clubs in the back and Dieter said ‘I think you’ll fit in.’” Today they collaborate on the Presqu’ile wines. “He is my best friend. My brother from a different mother.”

And about that name. Three generations of Murphys used to gather together at a family coastal compound in Pass Christian, Mississippi. “It was where I spent my summers. Where we came for the holidays. It was a haven and a refuge,” Matt explained as we talked about a name that causes most folks to ask “Say What?” The word is creole for “almost an island.” “The house was out on a Henderson Point, just a spit of a peninsula, and that was the name we gave it.” On the 29th of August 2005, that wisp of wind had turned into the most devastating force ever seen on the Gulf Coast and Presqu’ile, along with the rest of Pass Christian, was erased. “I was in Grand Lake (he was a student at CU at the time) and I watched it all on television. We knew it was all gone,” Matt remembered. As an homage to the family’s former sanctuary on the Mississippi coast, he named the winery Presqu’ile. (Pronounced “press-KEEL.”) Murphy is bringing his wines for a special dinner at Boulder’s Frasca on March 30 in another of the fabled wine program’s

Monday night wine dinner series. Each week, Frasca, honored by the James Beard Award Foundation for Outstanding Wine Service in 2013, highlights wines from different wineries and regions and there is never a non-show dog in the mix. If Bobby Stuckey, the Master Sommelier who founded Frasca, asks you to come, you know you’ve made it. “This is the second time we have poured at Frasca,” Matt said, “and it is such an honor. I was in college at CU shortly after they opened and I would come by and was always amazed by the wines. To come back now with Presqu’ile…it just seems like it has all come full circle.” A perfect storm. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@ aol.com.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2012 PRESQU’ILE PINOT NOIR SANTA MARIA VALLEY Made with 100 percent estate fruit, this wine served as a brilliant introduction to the “Santa Maria Spice” that is found in the area. Great balance, finely defined tannins and a ruby color combine with the slight spice element to create a beautiful wine.

HASH-SLINGIN’ SPECTACLE FAST TIMES AT BREAKFAST IN AMERICA

WE DIDN’T VISIT Ichiban for the food. Sure, the Japanese steakhouse near Syracuse, N.Y., delivered solid teppanyaki stir-fry before a booze-soaked night of birthday celebration — but it was also lax on ID checks, generous on drink refills, and happy to stick our party in the two-grill private dining room, sequestered from more, uh, decorous diners. AMANDA RAE Above all, though, we went for the show: Eggs cracked midair on a metal spatula. Shrimp tails flipped into the chef ’s toque. Bad jokes in broken English, set to a background of madcap chopping and maniacal laughter. And the grand finale onionring volcano, which shot flames skyward to the hoots and hollers of two-dozen college kids, fresh from summer vacation and flushed on sake bombs. When I ventured to El Jebel’s Breakfast in America last week, I was surprised to find a similar theatrical scenario. During my three years in Aspen, not once has anyone described the 20-year-old joint as owner Dan Weis does: “The Benihana of Breakfast.” Why not? Because it’s cooking as entertainment: one rectangular room with 18 bar seats set horseshoe-style around a flattop grill and abbreviated stovetop manned by a single short-order cook. This kind of diner-style pageantry makes a morning meal here a mandatory Roaring Fork Valley experience. At 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, we wait only a few minutes for two seats to open up. No big deal, because self-serve coffee and a pile of newspapers sit just inside the entrance. The cook running the show, Salvatore Vasquez—who, I learn later, took the torch five years ago from his brother Javier, the restaurant’s original ringmaster— greets us with a wide grin then turns his attention back to three sauté pans.

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

We find the menu just extensive enough to make decisions difficult, and with big Mexican influence: huevos rancheros, migas, chorizo and eggs, two kinds of breakfast burritos, chile relleno with beans— any of it smothered in spicy pork green chile for $1.49 extra. Nearly everything is in the $7 to $11 range; the most expensive dish is an eight-ounce rib-eye steak with eggs for $16.99. Red and green chile sauces are homemade, and there’s a small collection of bottled hot sauces placed at intervals along the counter. Classics include fluffy pancakes, French toast (“voted best in the valley by the guy in the back who wants a raise,” the menu notes); cheese blintz; a variety of eggs, omelets, and something called pasta frittata; cream chipped beef on toast; homemade pork sausage and gravy with biscuits. Lunch, which ends promptly at 1:50 p.m. (12:50 on Sunday), offers two kinds of enchiladas, a club sandwich or Philly cheese steak wrap, and a grilled burger served on a bagel with spinach instead of lettuce. Perhaps nostalgic for my Ichiban birthday parties, I crave fried rice and eggs ($9.49): Brown rice sautéed until nutty and slightly crunchy with scrambled eggs, lots of crispy diced bacon, chopped tomato, wilted spinach, scallion, and a splash of soy sauce for good measure. It arrives with a slice of barely toasted, chewy six-grain bread, which begs for Weis’ homemade jam — Palisade peach, strawberry-apricot, raspberry, blackberry, cherry, mango jalapeño — set out along the bar in small Mason jars. (In autumn, he prepares five gallons of Concord grape jam, in high demand by biggame hunters.) Come spring, Weis maintains a small, flowering garden of rhubarb, parsley, mint, and other vegetables and fruit in front of the restaurant. Rubbing elbows with local folks, we watch Salvatore make our food. Actually, it’s more like we feel him

Mar ch 1 2 - Mar ch 18 , 2015

making our food just steps away. He flips omelets high in the air and pivots to pull items from a cold station behind him, all the while shaking, stirring, and smiling. His arms are awhirl, as if in a cartoon, but his gaze is focused, his stance confident. Mesmerized by one particularly impressive series of movements culminating in a huge plume of flames from a pan, we drop our forks to clap heartily. The grill cranks on, keeping the room toasty. “You need the right person in this role,” Weis explains. In fact, the Breakfast in America founder offered grim counsel when Weis and his wife, Pauline Trujillo, assumed ownership in 1999. “He goes, ‘About one out of 100 folks you hire here will be able to put up with this.’ There’s added pressure. [You need] the right personality: Being cool under fire, literally.” Luckily, Weis has had Salvatore and other Vasquez brothers during his 17-year run. This, plus handcrafted touches — Weis’ freezer jam, freshly squeezed orange juice and freshly ground meat for the burger patties, the garden out front—make Breakfast

in America about more than just the communal experience of watching a cook in action to a classic rock soundtrack. The food is damn tasty. “I don’t know of anyone who boils and shreds their own potatoes anymore,” says Weis, who worked at the Village Smithy in Carbondale for a decade and the old Crystal River Steakhouse, too. “Right now we’re going through about 400 to 600 pounds a week. In the summertime we’ll serve over 1,000 pounds of potatoes a week,” when the shaded front patio doubles seating capacity. He sighs. “It gets so, so busy. The waiting line gets so long….” Then don’t wait until spring to make a downvalley pilgrimage. Just go. Breakfast in America is a rare breed of restaurant and, as I learned last week, an essential Aspen-area experience. Amanda Rae was raised in a blue-collar New England manufacturing town, where the old-fashioned luncheonette counter reined supreme as social hub before fast food ruined everything. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Sam Gemus, a bartender at Justice Snow’s (right), and Mattais Horseman, the executive beverage director at Chefs Club, mix up drinks for Aspen’s favorite pastime: après ski.

THE CRAFT COCKTAIL GENERATION

THE APRÈS SKI COCKTAIL CLASSIC BRINGS INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY TO THE CLASSIC LIBATION IN THIS TOWN, we have many things that help unite us. We all love talking about the weather and how it will affect our fun. We can’t help but brag about some form of athletic activity we just did. And we all have, or desperately want, a dog. But, one of the things that really brings us all together — an activity that makes us leave our BARBARA differences at the PLATTS door and coalesce as one in joyful, inebriated glee — is après. Grammatically, this may confuse some people. In many places, the word après is just known as a preposition, a word that simply offers timely direction (a.k.a. “after”). But here, it’s much more than that. Après is just as important as breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s the time in the day to imbibe and indulge with friends and/or family following an enjoyable time on the slopes. And, once a year in Aspen, it means hundreds of talented mixologists and cocktail enthusiasts come to town, with quality spirits in hand, to bring us four days of ethanolinduced happiness in the Après Ski Cocktail Classic.

P H OTO S B Y BA R BA R A P L AT T S

I’ve dabbled in the Cocktail Classic before, when it was a slightly smaller operation in Snowmass. However, this year it was based at the Little Nell and sprinkled throughout downtown Aspen. And I was downright giddy to participate. Being 24 years old and around an unlimited amount of fine cocktails is a tantalizing experience, to say the least. Even though I’ve been drinking for seven or eight years, I’ve only been legal for three of

those. Because of this, going up to a bar and ordering whatever I desire from the bartender still contains a bit of magic. Even though it’s a routine act for me, the experience has a taste of forbidden fruit. Take that taste of forbidden fruit, add roughly 75 bartenders, give them high-end spirits and put them on the porch and pool area of the Little Nell serving delicious drinks for an entire weekend. That’s more than magical…it’s a dream come true.

Even without an event to tell us, it’s obvious that we are in a trendy time for the cocktail. Gone are the days of simple drinks with cheap mixers and even cheaper booze. Now, we have bitters. We have finely filtered liquor. We have fresh fruits and vegetables and garnishes. And we have passionate, creative people to mix those all together for our enjoyment. The Cocktail Classic simply gives us a way to get these people together to share their craft. Plus it gives us a worthy excuse to binge drink (there are no spittoons at cocktail tastings). From bitters that tasted like mouthwash and thick smoke simultaneously to a violet liqueur, each drink was just as impressive as the next. As were people’s stories about how they made the spirit or how they got into the spirit-making industry. From server to guest, everyone had a wide grin on their face, which is really what après is all about. Here’s to many more Classics to come. Barbara Platts was placed in the detox room in the Pitkin County Jail after the Après Ski Cocktail Classic weekend. She has since been released and can probably be found sipping extravagant cocktails at Justice Snow’s. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

MODERN-DAY

DESIGNERS

COTTLE CARR AND YAW ARCHITECTS PUTS ITS STAMP ON ASPEN

by SCOTT CONDON

ASPEN’S SILVER-MINING HEYDAY produced many of the town’s most iconic structures: the Pitkin County Courthouse, the former armory turned City Hall, the regal Wheeler Opera House and the crown jewel — the Hotel Jerome. It’s too soon to tell how the test of time will regard some of the more modern structures. But one thing is certain, longtime Aspen-area firm Cottle Carr and Yaw Architects has put its stamp on the modern era by designing some of the more highvisibility structures over the last 30 years. CCY, as the firm is now known, was selected to build what could arguably be called Aspen’s three most important — and sensitive — projects undertaken since the mid-1980s. It was selected by Aspen Skiing Co. to reinvent the base area of Aspen Mountain with the Silver Queen Gondola plaza in 1987 and Little Nell Hotel in 1989. It undertook the addition to the Hotel Jerome in 1987. It was the company under pressure for coming up with a design appropriate for

the replacement of the Sundeck Restaurant atop Aspen Mountain in 1999. In each case, the firm was playing with fire. The base area project would define Aspen Mountain for decades to come. The Hotel Jerome addition had to blend with what is the most revered building in town for many people. The demolition of the old Sundeck was met with significant skepticism; CCY’s design had to relieve the angst.

Larry Yaw, one of the three partners in the firm with John Cottle and Rich Carr, shrugged off the pressure of working on the Sundeck. “It was no more than usual,” he said. Every time you work on something purposeful, it reduces the stress, he said. Whether the partners want to admit it or not, the pressure probably couldn’t have been greater then when the firm worked on the Little Nell Hotel and gondola plaza. Skico envisioned a five-star hotel and it

A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

THE LIST Cottle Carr and Yaw Architects has designed many of the buildings that help define modern Aspen and its mountain playgrounds. They include:

Little Nell Hotel and the Silver Queen Gondola Plaza. The major redevelopment occurred in the mid-1980s in conjunction with Aspen Mountain ski area’s leap into the modern era with the gondola. The plaza creates a “grand entry to Aspen Mountain via a public pedestrian mall and expanded skier services,” according to the firm’s description of the project. The plaza marks the end of the town fabric and gateway to the mountain. It’s also the focal point for many community activities. “The challenge of this redevelopment project was to maintain and enhance the public spaces, creating a lively central place while also providing the required private spaces for the hotel guests and mountain operations,” CCY says.

Obermeyer Place in Aspen. CCY designed a hybrid project that features 230,000 square feet of mixed uses, from affordable housing to high-end, free market residences, commercial space and light industrial uses. Aspen icon and property owner Klaus Obermeyer’s “affinity for curves made rounded forms a design given,” the architectural firm said.

Limelight Hotel in Aspen. The redevelopment of the Limelight featured 128 hotel rooms and 17 for-sale condominiums that have access to hotel services. The interior design features a comfortable lounge connected to a bar with an easy flow from the lobby and front desk. “The lodge design takes it cue from historic Aspen buildings while establishing its own colorful character,” CCY’s material said.

Elk Camp Restaurant at Snowmass Ski Area. CCY was hired by Aspen Skiing Co. to design a restaurant worthy of serving as the focal point for winter and summer operations on the mountain while complementing the stunning environment. It boasts a great room that holds up to 250 guests, an indoor fireplace that warms an intimate bar and small gathering areas, a lower level that accommodates ski school kids and outdoor decks that seat up to 150 people. “Taking full advantage of its surroundings, the building’s orientation, with its sloping roof gives way to expansive windows focusing up mountain,” CCY materials say.

Sundeck Restaurant on Aspen Mountain. Aspen Skiing Co. hired CCY for perhaps one of the most sensitive projects in modern Aspen when it decided the worn but historically cherished Sundeck Restaurant needed to be replaced. “A number of structural, environmental, philosophic and political requirements would have to be met to satisfy owners, guests and locals,” CCY said in its project description. “Strong political influences were pressuring the company to minimize expansion impacts on the surrounding remote areas.” The 22,000-square-foot building — the highest visibility structure on Aspen Mountain — recreated the large circular stone fireplace from the original structure and retained large south-facing windows that provide stunning view of the Elk Mountains.

Aspen-Pitkin County Airport commercial terminal. While the building itself escapes attention, CCY is proud of the terminal for being the largest public passive-heated structure in the United States. In addition to handling the commercial airline traffic of its era, county officials also wanted a structure that would capitalize on passive solar energy and reduce consumption of resources.

required a design for the public plaza that tied the town and mountain together. “We put a porch on the town to the mountain. We knit them together with that design. That’s fantastic,” Cottle said, sounding much more like a proud papa than a boastful architect. The firm’s employees are “absolutely” aware that they are working on some of the projects that will help define Aspen and its ski areas, according Cottle. Statistically, he said he is uncertain if CCY has designed the most projects downtown, but he’s proud of the legacy the firm is creating. “I always thought we had the most robust history and forward-looking projects in downtown,” he said. The partners said they want their designs to reflect the current era and the traditions of the community, but also be forward-looking.

ROOTS BACK TO EARLY 1970S The roots of the firm go back to 1971 when Yaw was teamed with three different partners. They expanded from a small office in the Elk’s Building in Aspen to an entire floor of it. Changes in the lineup came over time. Cottle joined the firm in 1980 and became a partner. Carr joined in 1989, “strayed” and rejoined in 1997. He became a partner two years later. “We’ve never had an objective to grow

PHOTOS BY AUBREE DALLAS

a large office,” Cottle said. Having a good time and producing quality work is the priority, he said. The firm employs about 30 people, enough so that it has a healthy mix of residential and commercial projects underway at any given time. “Compared to most Aspen house architects, we have a tremendous depth and diversity to the projects we like to do,” Carr said. The mixture is roughly split between residential and commercial, though not through an effort to keep it even, Cottle said. Carr said the firm is often competing for jobs with architects from New York, Los Angles and San Francisco. It also undertakes a substantial amount of international work. Yaw said it is “sort of fun” to be a small fish in a big pond, putting their work up against some bigger firms. “We’re just sitting here having fun in Aspen and doing our best and we’ve had this extraordinary string, I guess, of opportunity, that we’ve certainly seized upon,” Yaw said. “It’s kind of a neat place to be. You’re not up there in a star architect caliber, if you want to use that term. You’re just real people in the real world and you’re creative.”

RELOCATED FOR EMPLOYEES Ironically, the firm that made a name for itself working on many high-profile projects in Aspen determined in the late 1990s that it

had to move out of the town for the longterm well being of the business. As house prices continued to soar in Aspen and many working families couldn’t establish a toehold, Yaw said the firm was losing good workers. They didn’t want to continue making the commute from Basalt, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs to Aspen. “So we made an almost risky decision to do this, build this building for our employees,” Yaw said. They bought property at 228 Midland Avenue in Basalt, the town’s main street, and designed a building to showcase their talents. “It’s a good representation of who we are,” Yaw said. They made the move in 1998. Yaw said he has no regrets leaving high-profile Aspen for lower profile Basalt. He is unaware of it having any detrimental consequence on the firm’s attractiveness with potential clients. The effects on employee morale were immense. “The people are our juice,” Yaw said. “The three of us aren’t the only juice here. We’re not better than they are in a way, so we built this. It has been so positive from employee attitudes to longevity of employees. Being together in a neat place creates juice, it just does.”

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Rich Carr checks out images of one of the projects his firm is working on; the office features wall space where drawings and plans create easy access and team collaboration. Cardboard models are still used along with high-tech software at Cottle Carr Yaw Architects to provide perspective to plans. Larry Yaw, left, and John Cottle discuss their architecture firm’s long history. An open floor plan at Cottle Carr and Yaw Architects encourages collaboration.

A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

The office features an open floor plan with no private rooms, not even for the partners. It’s intended to encourage interaction and make collaboration easier. Plans, drawings and images of project are tacked on the walls, within a swivel of workers’ chairs. There’s one small conference room and a medium-sized conference room. Otherwise, there are no doors in the office, Yaw pointed out. Carr said the firm is working on 10 to 15 projects in various stages at any given time. Most workers are involved in two or three projects. Senior members have more on their plates. “People get to throw darts” at one another’s work to help coax out the best work, Yaw said. “You’re part of something.”

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DESIGN There is lots of youth and energy in the firm, Cottle said. Yaw said the partners are proud of providing workers with a chance to advance. They are grooming the next leaders. “We are hell-bent on bringing the next generation up,” he said. The firm and its workers have reaped numerous architecture awards over the years. One that stands out for them is having two of the partners recognized as a Fellow by the American Institute of Architects. Yaw earned the distinction in 1993; Cottle was made a Fellow this year. Both were recognized for their contributions in design. Cottle said it is meaningful to him because it is rare. Only about 20 architects in the U.S. are selected annually as a Fellow for their design achievements, he said. CCY is the only firm on the Western Slope of Colorado to have two Fellows. Awards aside, the partners in the firm said what really makes them tick is working with clients on designs that match the environment. “It’s always been about, ‘How do you get the most out of the site, the place?” Cottle said. “Where’s the magic?”

MUSEUM MATTERS COTTLE CARR AND YAW ARCHITECTS didn’t design the Aspen Art Museum, but the firm worked as the “architect of record” on the project. CCY essentially figured out how to get the structure built as envisioned by famed Japanese architect Shigeru Ban (pictured below in front of the museum), then worked on site with the contractor during construction. The museum sparked an Aspen uproar when it opened Aug. 9, 2014. Critics claimed the size and design were out of sync with the old mining town.

Mar ch 1 2 - Mar ch 18 , 2015

The partners in CCY stressed that their role was to figure out how to execute Ban’s complex design. And of that, they are proud. It was an honor to be selected as the architect of record, said John Cottle, one of the three partners in CCY. It took an extraordinary high level of technological work to complete the custom-built structure. “It’s beyond a nuclear submarine,” Cottle said. “That’s a feather in our cap,” partner Rich Carr said of the project. But what about the design itself? What do they think? The partners didn’t sidestep the question, but they were diplomatic. “We were the architect of record,” said CCY partner Larry Yaw. “We put it together. We were not the designers. That was Shigeru, and he was Shigeru Ban and that was the way it was going to be. “We were able to contribute to what is going to be for a long time a significant public experience,” Yaw continued. It is an unwritten rule that architects don’t critique a peer’s work, especially one of the caliber of Shigeru Ban, who won the 2014 Pritzker Prize for Architecture, the most prestigious award in the field. The question for Cottle isn’t whether or not Aspen likes the museum design; it’s whether or not Aspen remains open to new ideas. “Aspen has a legacy of design,” Cottle said. “It’s a fantastic legacy. Some aspect of design has to be fearless. If a community is unwilling to accept that, then to me it’s starting to become devolved.”

Speaking in general terms, not about the art museum specifically, Yaw said every architect sees something they would do differently when a project is completed. “Every architect would give you this answer: I would have done something different. But it is what it is. The thing I love about (the art museum) is not so much the architecture but it brings art to the streets,” Yaw said. The debate over the museum design punctuates the point that architects who design high-profile buildings need to be brave to execute their plan, then they better have thick skin to deal with the possible fallout. CCY is accustomed to taking on high-profile projects and putting its reputation on the line. It was the architecture firm for the Little Nell Hotel and gondola plaza, and the Sundeck. Everyone in Aspen had an opinion on how those projects should be carried out. CCY’s work was ultimately widely lauded. Yaw said scrutiny comes with the territory. “You have to accept that,” he said. “There’s going to be detractors, there’s going to be admirers.” Like Cottle, he noted Aspen has a history of innovation and acceptance for architecture dating to Herbert Bayer’s design of the Aspen Institute structures at the Aspen Meadows campus. Bayer went with an international style that soon came to be revered. “No one would call that integrated with the Victorian style of town,” Yaw said. – SCOTT CONDON

ESCAPE ARTIST | NEPAL

by MALCOLM FOSTER for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROUGHING IT: TREKKING IN NEPAL OFFERS ADVENTURE DAWN’S GOLDEN LIGHT caught the tops of the snowcapped Himalayas and gradually crept downward as the rising sun lit up a sweeping arc of soaring peaks, at once forbidding and starkly beautiful. The stunning vista from the top of Poon Hill — at 3,193 meters (10,475 feet), the highest point of our family’s six-day trek in Nepal — was among many highlights of a “Lord of the Rings”-like adventure through lush forests, terraced fields and traditional villages nestled above plunging valleys. Sometimes the going was tough — like hiking two hours up steep, stone steps. Other times, we walked along gently undulating woodland paths. Along the way, there were rewards: children who ran to greet us (sometimes asking for money or candy), wildflowers beside the path, breathtaking views and cups of hot masala tea at cute little rest stops. If you’re looking for a family adventure that immerses you in nature, beauty and a fascinating culture — and you’re willing to rough it some — consider trekking in Nepal. Our two boys, 12 and 10, loved the experience. One of my older

son’s favorite parts was the camaraderie with other trekkers from around the world in common rooms at the “tea houses,” or simple lodges where we stayed. Children as young as 8 or 9 could handle the popular 65-kilometer (40-mile) Ghandruk-GhorepaniPoon Hill loop we hiked, located just south of the Annapurna Range. Small children can be carried on the backs of porters. We hiked four to six hours d aily, depending on the trail’s difficulty, usually reaching our destination by 3 p.m., allowing time to relax before supper. With good weather, this route will give you stunning views of a string of mountains, including Annapurna I (8,091 meters, 26,545 feet), 10th-tallest in the world; Machapuchre, or “Fishtail,” with its distinctively shaped peak; and the towering Dhaulagiri (8,172 meters, 26,811 feet), the world’s seventhtallest. Mount Everest, located 300 kilometers (190 miles) to the east, isn’t visible on this loop. The circuit starts and ends near the lakeside town of Pokhara, central Nepal’s trekking hub. We used 3 Sisters Adventure Trekking, which specializes in training and

employing women, to hire our guide, Mana Kunwar, an experienced, flexible and fun Nepali woman who spoke good English. Her knowledge of the trail, culture and language — and contacts at teahouses where she booked our rooms — enhanced our experience immensely. We also hired a male porter to carry one backpack while I carried another. My wife and kids hiked with smaller knapsacks. Hiring guides is not only a way to get to know locals, it also offers them a valuable source of income. Peak trekking season is in October and November, when skies are clearest and temperatures hover between 15-25 degrees Celsius (60s and 70s F). We mostly hiked in T-shirts and shorts (women’s shorts should be knee-length out of respect for the local culture). But early mornings and evenings, when it got as cold as 5 degrees (40 F), we needed fleeces and long pants. We encountered no snow, but a week before our October visit, a freak blizzard and avalanche hit a pass at a much higher elevation about 50 kilometers (30 miles) to the north, killing more than 40 people. April and May, also a good time to go, can be cloudier, but the

rhododendron trees are in bloom. June, July and August are rainy. Be prepared to rough it. Some teahouses offer hot showers, but water supplies are often limited. Rooms run $3-$5 a night, Spartan but clean. Blankets are available, but most trekkers bring sleeping bags, which can be rented or bought in Pokhara or Kathmandu at shops that sell everything you need, including knock-off brand fleeces and backpacks. Trekking poles, about $5 apiece, are recommended, especially when descending. Don’t buy hiking shoes when you arrive; break those in at home. The food is rather monotonous: Lots of dal bhat, or lentil stew with rice, plus curries, pastas and soups, and not much meat or fruit. Deep-fried “gurung bread” is quite good. You may want to bring canned tuna or meat. As for that sunrise from Poon Hill: We woke at 5 a.m. and hiked 45 minutes from the village of Ghorepani to see it, and we shared the experience with 300 to 400 other trekkers. But like the rest of the trip, the effort was well worth it. We got a panoramic view of both the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges in all their majesty.

IF YOU GO... A family of trekkers with a guide follow a path through terraced fields close to Dhampus, Nepal. Some travelers in the region hire guides to share their knowledge of the trail, language, local culture and wildlife.

GETTING THERE: From Kathmandu, a fascinating city worth spending at least a day touring, head to Pokhara via Yeti Airlines or Buddha Air, or take a six-hour bus. TREKKING AGENCIES: Trekking agencies can arrange everything, including domestic travel in Nepal, lodging in Kathmandu and Pokhara, and packages that include trail lodging, food, guides, trekking permits, etc., but it’s usually cheaper to make your own domestic hotel and travel reservations online. For the trek portion, you can pay a package price, or pay for lodging and meals as you go, and a guide by the day. Two recommended outfits: — 3 Sisters Adventure Trekking based in Pokhara, specializes in female guides, http://www.3sistersadventuretrek.com — Moonlight Nepal Trekking and Adventure Tours, based in Kathmandu, allocates some profits to children’s health care and education, http://www. moonlightnepaladventuretours.com VISAS: Citizens of all countries except India require tourist visas, available at Kathmandu’s airport or through Nepali embassies and consulates.

The financial firm’s sixth gathering from Feb. 26 to March 2 brought dozens of execs and clients to town for a full roster of fun activities. From dining on the rooftop at the Aspen Art Museum to a spirited evening at the Crystal Palace to hitting deep powder on the slopes, it’ll likely go down in the books as one of their best years yet.

SPRING BREAK!

UMPHREY’S MCGEE KICKS OFF TWO WEEKS OF ACTION ON-STAGE AND ON-SNOW UMPHREY’S MCGEE’S TWONIGHT RUN at Belly Up may have sold out months ago, but nobody needs a ticket to see the improvisational rock wizards on stage Friday night at the Core Party in downtown Aspen. The free outdoor show on the edge of the Cooper Avenue pedestrian mall kicks off two weeks of spring break events that make up the Aspen Skiing Co.’s Spring Jam festival. This year’s festivities include three free concerts — New Orleans jazz greats Dirty Dozen Brass Band and California reggae rockers Iration, who follow Umphrey’s at Snowmass Village shows — and on-mountain events including rail jams, terrain park lessons, a race through Highland Bowl, banked slalom and big air competitions, and the annual free-spirited Fallen Friends tribute at Highlands. On the smorgasbord that is the 15th annual Spring Jam, the Umphrey’s concert is the can’t-miss item. The Chicago-based six-piece band’s legendary live shows have re-imagined the scope of improvisational rock music over the last 15 or so years. Call them a jam band if you like, but their brand of jamming isn’t the indulgent guitar noodling you’ll often find from the legions of acts that have attempted to follow in the Grateful Dead’s footsteps. “Don’t get me wrong — if jamming for a half-hour in A minor feels right at the time, I’ll do it,” Umphrey’s guitarist Jake Cinninger told The Aspen Times during one of their recent stops in town. “But the idea is to build a complexity in the moment, and create something that sounds untypical. Like you built something.” The band is equal parts jam band and progressive rock outfit. Cinninger sees them as heirs to Frank Zappa and Miles Davis as much as Phish or the Dead. In concert they pull off their intricate, long-form improvisational versions of their studio songs by keeping eye contact, using hand signals, while directing a light show through talk-back microphones. It’s something to behold.

“We call them baseball cues,” Cinninger says of the on-stage communication. “There’s a sign language of the keys. … We can sound like we’re writing music in the moment.” During Spring Jam’s second weekend, the music moves to Base Village in Snowmass for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band performance. Active for nearly four decades, the groundbreaking New Orleans band early on integrated the sounds of funk and bebop into their exuberant live sets, bringing a youthful new energy to the brass tradition of the Crescent City — a sound that’s since become a genre in itself, with standard bearers like the Rebirth Brass Band and the Soul Rebels.

Mar ch 1 2 - Mar ch 18 , 2015

Through the years, Dirty Dozen has made regular swings through Aspen — most recently a New Year’s Eve gig at the Wheeler Opera House. Before that show, the band’s saxophone player, Roger Lewis, surprisingly called Colorado the Dirty Dozen’s biggest fan base in the U.S. “We love Colorado, that’s one of our favorite places on the planet,” Lewis said. “People love the music up there. It’s something about the spirit in the music. … The people see that we’re real people who are approachable, we like to party, and what can I say? People pick up on that.” atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW

NOTEWORTHY

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

‘Pale Harvest’ Braden Hepner 366 pages, softcover: $16.95 Torrey House Press, 2014

Hepner captures the nuances of the dramatic landscape of the Cache Valley, where cultivated fields give way to desert and mountains rise up against open skies. He employs a meditative language drawn from the land, delivering the richness of Selvedge’s inner life: “On the gentle hillside bones stood from the sand and yellow grass like ruins, the white architecture of death. How to describe what flowers grew from those bones in the springtime. Of deep purple and yellow, blue and red and white. Each one a marvel worth contemplation. How many times had he stopped to watch them tremble in the wind among the white bones.” “Pale Harvest” is a dark novel by a deft storyteller, a modern retelling of the legend of Adam and Eve. It explores tensions between good and evil, ignorance and knowledge,

and hope and belief. The occasional appearance of phrases like “primitive and beautiful squaw” does nothing to further the characters; Hepner does a superb job of making them full and authentic, and doesn’t need to resort to language of exoticism and conquest. “Pale Harvest” walks the reader into the liminal spaces between life and death, and shows how a human being can be made anew. “Hope was his faith, his religion. It was the consequential vestige of maturity, of knowledge, a remnant product of adult sin. In the end they had nothing more than a hope commensurate with their fear, and in this way they were purified and set free.”
