THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

OUTDOORS BUTTERMILK is going

uphill for an extended (and free) weekend at the home of the X Games.

The lifts are closed, but Buttermilk Ski Area will be open and groomed for anybody willing the hike up the front of the mountain, Tiehack or West Buttermilk on Saturday, April 8 and Sunday, April 9.

Dubbed “Buttermilk Uphill Weekend,” the new humanpowered skiing event is being launched in a partnership between the city of Aspen and the Aspen Skiing Co. It was born out of the city’s “Uphill Economy” initiative.

If all goes well, the weekend of skinning, split-boarding, hiking and snowshoeing up the hill will become a new springtime tradition for Aspen.

“The city is creating a platform where as a community we can build on our ski roots, capture, develop and grow an emerging market, and blaze the trail to connect Colorado’s outdoor recreation industry with its manufacturing capability in Aspen and our region,” Skadron said in the event announcement. “Uphill is not just a direction, it’s a movement.”

The event is free and open to the public. All athletes, abilities and non-motorized equipment are welcome to participate. Hours of operation will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday.

The base of Buttermilk Mountain will turn into a “Festival Village” with vendors, demo booths, guides, and clinics for the public. Beginners are welcome to demo equipment on Panda Peak.

Food and beverage options will be available throughout the weekend at the top and the bottom of the mountain.

Four Mountain Sports will also be open with rental options, gear and end-ofseason specials. More info at www.aspensnowmass.com.

Buttermilk Uphill Weekend will take over Buttermilk Ski Area on April 8 and 9.

CURRENTEVENTS FILM

The Main Squeeze will play a free concert in Base Village to close the 2017 Hi-Fi Concert Series.

Aspen Shortsfest runs through Sunday, April 9. The animated short “The World’s Middlest Fish” is included in Sunday’s family-friendly program at the Wheeler Opera House.

THE TAIL END of Aspen Shortsfest includes 12 more film programs in Aspen and Carbondale.

The annual short film festival, which began April 4, runs through Sunday, April 9. Remaining programs include two slates of films on Thursday (5:30 and 8:30 p.m. at the Wheeler Opera House), two on Friday (5:30 and 8:30 p.m. at the Wheeler), five on Saturday (2:30, 5:30 and 8:30 at the Wheeler; 5 and 7:30 p.m. at the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale) and three on Sunday (a 1 p.m. family film program at the Wheeler, 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. programs in Carbondale).

More info at www.aspenfilm.org. Look for daily coverage of the festival in The Aspen Times and at www.aspentimes.com.

POPULAR MUSIC THE 2017 SEASON of the Hi-Fi Concert series comes to a funky close at Base Village in Snowmass on Saturday, April 8.

The Main Squeeze will play slopeside at 4:30 p.m. The innovative, Chicago-based rock band — which formed playing parties at Indiana University — is on the road playing songs from its forthcoming album “Without a Sound” (due out April 28).

The après-ski show is free. More info at www.aspensnowmass.com.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

compiled by THE ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

END OF A N ER A

1971 ASPEN

“EASTER RIDE LAST FOR NO. 1 CHAIR,” announced The Aspen Times on April 8, 1971.

“Aspen Mountain’s historic No. 1 chair lift will provide its last day of skier service on Sunday, April 11. Built in the spring and summer of 1946, No. 1, the longest single chair lift in the world, was the beginning of the development of Aspen as one of the great ski areas. Although the old chair lift will no longer be in service, it will not be forgotten. The Aspen Skiing Corp. will issue a special commemorative lift ticket to all skiers who ride the lift on Easter Sunday. The ticket will be suitable for framing by those who wish to have a permanent memento of Aspen’s early ski days. Easter morning the No. 1 lift will start at 4 AM for those who want to attend the sunrise services at the top of Aspen Mountain. Breakfast will be served for those attending either the 5:30 or 6:30 a.m. service at a cost of $1.30 inclusive. The charge to ride the lift will be $1 for those without a valid lift ticket, and the commemorative lift ticket will be given out for the morning service.” The photo above shows passengers on Lift One on its last day of operation, 1971. It was replaced later that year with Lift 1A. This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

USE IT: LEATHERMAN ‘SKELETOOL’ KNIFE LEATHERMAN is known for its namesake multi-tools. But the brand also sells knives, including a so-called ‘naked’ knife that weighs barely more than 1 ounce.

Small but sturdy, the Leatherman Skeletool knives are everyday-carry models that slip into a pocket with a removable clip.

They offer a lockable folding format with a 2.6-inch blade.

A unique look comes from cutouts on the handle and blade. Leatherman notes the minimalist design is a part of the “naked knife” trend.

But it’s the same aesthetic seen on the company’s long-popular Skeletool multitools. Indeed, hold a Skeletool knife next to its pliers-equipped forebear and you see a sibling; the knife appears stamped out of the multi-tool shell.

Made in Portland, Ore., the lockable knife comes as a straight-blade model (Skeletool KB) or with serration (Skeletool KBx). They will cost $25 when for sale in June.

Skeletool knives are about a half-step up from what I would call a keychain blade. The knives are about 3.5 inches closed and weigh a scant 1.3 ounces.

In the palm the airy handle is small but just adequate for grip — it www.leatherman.com fit firmly in my hand.

GET IT

$25

My fingers wrapped around the handle, and with a thumb on top of the blade whittling was easy and precise.

I sharpened a marshmallow stick then trimmed a few errant vines encroaching a wall. The serrated edge sliced through the cord. Out of the box, the blade is usable for any small task.

The action end is an industry workhorse, 420 HC stainless. It’s stamped in a swooped drop-point, and the blade is thicker than expected for its length.

The knife locks open with a tiny click; its liner lock is the same as seen on the company’s multi-tools. It’s strong in the open position, with no lateral movement at the hinge while putting it to work.

For many years while backpacking and on climbing trips, a little knife like this has served me fine.

For kindling, gear repairs, and cooking needs, the Leatherman blades will do the trick without weighing you down, hardly more than a single ounce.

WINEINK

THE FESTIVAL SEASON BEGINS WINE EVENTS TAKE CENTER STAGE

IT WAS A BIT LIKE seeing a rock star.

Just over there, under towering pine that cast a shadow on the snow fort, alone, dressed in ski clothes sans jacket, sat the winemaker Josh Jensen. In front of him on a table were three open bottles of his single vineyard Calera pinot noirs. I shyly hesitated before walking over, glass KELLY J. in hand, to ask for a HAYES taste. After all, this was one of my wine heroes. Before I could say a word Josh smiled and without hesitation, gestured with a bottle, looked me in the eye and asked, “Wanna try some pinot?” Instantly I was in rarefied air, atop Vail Mountain on a spring day sipping the wines of one of California’s legendary winemakers, with him, as we chatted about his days skiing the French Alps.

Such is the magic of wine festivals.

TASTE OF VAIL

This week, the Taste of Vail opens what could be called the “wine festival season.” This will be the 27th rendition of the popular festival, which always kicks off the first week of April (or “Masters weekend,” as some call it) and is an undeniable harbinger of spring. It simultaneously marks the end of the ski season and the beginning of the season of the sun, so you never know what you are going to get weather wise. Pack accordingly, people.

Vail is special, not only because of the well-run and stimulating wine seminars, but because it hosts the only tasting event that I know of that takes place nearly 2 miles high in the sky at 10,350 feet. “The Mountain Top Tasting on Vail Mountain,” as they officially call it (it takes place this Friday, April 7, at noon), is where I had the opportunity to meet Josh Jensen, taste his wines and casually converse with the wine icon. It is the casual nature of this event that takes place in a stunning natural environment

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

that makes it so remarkable.

Winemakers and wine lovers take advantage of the ski-in, ski-out transportation and all are inclined to pour big, taste big and smile big as they drink in the Rocky Mountain scenery. If you have been, you know how special it is.

If not, go. It is a bucket list event.

THE VALUE OF WINE FESTIVALS

Wine festivals are maybe the best way to learn about wine. To begin with you are immersed, maybe for a day, or perhaps a weekend, in a world that begins and ends with grapes. There are always group tastings that you can attend and get a look, and a taste, of a number of wines. Pick a favorite region or grape and focus on it. California cabernet your thing? You might be able to taste a dozen in the grand tasting. Where else could you do that? At this weekend’s Taste of Vail there will be cabs from Alpha Omega, Hall, Hess Collection and Mt. Brave. And that’s just a few of the top Napa names that will be represented.

Second, if you are so inclined, most festivals have individual seminars that allows wine lovers to take a deeper dive into wine. This week at Vail, Master Sommelier Brett Zimmerman will take pinot lovers on a journey around the world in a seminar that features iterations of the grape from Germany’s Pfalz region (made by Fritz Becker), Oregon’s Willamette Valley (Cristom) and, of course, Burgundy. In an hour you will know more about pinot noir than you did when you woke up that morning.

Guests sip wines in a seminar at the Taste of Vail.

with the 35th Aspen Food & Wine Classic in Aspen (www. foodandwine.com/promo/ events/aspen-classic/classicmain). Smaller scale but equally beautiful tasting events can be found in Summit County in July at Breckenridge Food and Wine and in the Sierras in the fall at the Lake Tahoe Autumn Food & Wine Festival.

If one were so inclined, this could be a full season of wine festivals and tastings. But it all begins on a Mountaintop this Friday in Vail.

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

A FESTIVE SEASON

Food and wine festivals have proliferated in recent years and just about every weekend you can find good ones in places like South Beach, Austin and New York City.

But to me, the location has a big impact on the festivals and natural beauty trumps a big city scene.

Three weekends after Taste of Vail is the uber-luxurious Pebble Beach Food & Wine (www.pbfw. com) on the California Coast.

Summer kicks off June 16-18

Apr il 6 - Apr il 1 2 , 2017

UNDER THE INFLUENCE CALERA 2014 CENTRAL COAST PINOT NOIR Though Josh Jensen is famed for making single vineyard pinot noir from his central California vineyards, this wine features grapes sourced from nine separate vineyards from five different counties on the Central Coast. It serves as a perfect introduction to the wines of Calera. Light in the glass, a bit bigger floral bouquet upon the first sniff and then a balanced basket of berries on the palate, this wine will let you know why Josh is such a treasure.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

RITUAL BINGE

AN END-OF-SEASON FREE-FOR-ALL I KNOW I’M NOT ALONE in thinking that April heralds a grand junction into spring, a time we might also call the Season of Not Giving AF. We wear ridiculous costumes on the hill, settle into après-ski after only a few slush runs, and stay out in snow pants far longer than is socially acceptable. Shots at 10 a.m.? Sure! Edibles before noon? Why not?

Keg at the Buckhorn AMANDA RAE Cabin chased by Champagne showers at Cloud 9? Highlands, here we come!

No matter how hard we pray for just one more powder day, reality begins to sink in: Winter 2016/17 is almost over. These final weeks also signal the last hurrah for chefs and restaurateurs so ready already to shut down for a spell during offseason. Perhaps in solidarity but probably because we’ve stopped giving AF, many of us eaters throw caution to the wind and consume everything in sight. Indeed, for me that began in earnest last weekend.

On Friday, I met a friend for lunch at Meat & Cheese. There we bid adieu to executive chef David Wang, who celebrated the end of an era with a decadent special inspired by chef Sean Brock of Husk in Nashville (Bon Appétit magazine’s Best New Restaurant in America, 2011): Miso pork cooked sous vide with farro risotto, leek ash, and a sauce of green garlic plucked from the warming soils of Hotchkiss.

“Being here three years, it feels like five,” Wang told us. “Not owning a place…you have to keep moving.”

Best of luck, Dave!

I schlepped off for an afternoon shred sesh before meeting up with another friend for Aspen après.

Town was quiet, though, so she found me perched in front of the massive stone fireplace at the Little Nell, scrolling through the Grub Street Diet on my iPhone. New York Magazine’s weekly online food diary, which chronicles the edible obsessions and eccentricities of actors, musicians, writers, designers, and other creative folks, is a surefire appetite-stoker. By the time I’d salivated through writer Rachel Khong’s detailed preparation of

10

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

F

Turkish çilbir, featured in her new cookbook, “All About Eggs,” I was ravenous.

Despite being 4:30 p.m., Chair 9 was desolate — the season is ending, officially! — so we crossed town to La Crêperie du Village. There we found Marseillais co-owner Raphael Derly popping bottles of Château d’Esclans Whispering Angel and Rock Angel rosé to celebrate a visit from noted wine strategist Chuck Taylor. As usual we squeezed onto stools facing the seven-seat bar — the chef’s table, overlooking what might be the tiniest kitchen in town — to chat with French chef Sebastien Chamaret. First he served us housesmoked duck, sliced thinly over a pile of baby arugula, haricots verts, and candied walnuts with creamy black truffle vinaigrette. A signature for sure.

In carbo-loading mode — to fuel up for my first Aspen Snowmass Banked Slalom competition the next day — I ordered gnocchi-flette, the traditional French casserole of fluffy potato pillows drenched in creamy Reblochon cheese with caramelized onion and bacon. We begged for extra bread to scrape every morsel of molten cheese from the miniature cast-iron pan — but not before devouring a lobster-stuffed crêpe for good measure. (Ladies: try these decadent dishes alongside free-flowing Corsican rosé during La Crêperie’s weekly “Pardon My French” parties, Mondays from 5 to 6:30 p.m.)

The next morning before heading to Snowmass, I guzzled two cups of coffee and choked down a few bites of banana. Race-day nerves always get in the way.

Later, after a physically exhausting and emotionally defeating two runs on a gnarly, icy, rutted-out course through Garrett Gulch, my hunger returned, victorious. I cruised over to Gwyn’s, but the cafeteria was drained of its legendary chicken chowder — at 1:30 p.m.; must be the end of the season! I continued a traverse to Elk Camp Restaurant, home to some of the tastiest pizza the valley. No exaggeration: Elk Camp uses a hundred-plus-year-old sourdough starter imported from Alaska in its artisanal recipe. (Details are written on a chalkboard sign,

Apr il 6 - Apr il 1 2 , 2017

ostensibly for home cooks to scale down at home. See opposite page).

Feeling the heat of the pizza oven blasting forth, I watched a cook scatter fresh mozzarella, peppers, and onions onto a personal pie and sling it onto the hearth. When the masterpiece emerged, he showered it with fresh basil chiffonade. I carried my prize to a table outdoors. I inhaled every crumb.

Outside of Base Camp Bar & Grill, pre-awards announcement, I stopped by a pop-up tent proffering samples of Aussie-style, Colorado-made Noosa Yoghurt.

I tucked a few cartons (blueberry, apple, strawberry-rhubarb) into my bag, but the friendly attendant encouraged me to grab more.

“Really,” he said, “Take all of ’em. We have a whole van full of yogurt.” I tipped another armful into my bag.

I encountered this guy again on Sunday after a fitting grand finale to the weekend’s food crawl: Buttermilk Closing Day aka Bacon Appreciation Day. If this annual extravaganza of crispy, salty pork doesn’t capture Aspen’s collective carefree attitude running rampant at this time of year, I don’t know what does. At least one shuttle driver agreed. “Bacon,” he quipped with authority, “should be appreciated!”

The soft, slushy slopes of

Buttermilk were an auditory swirl of hoots and hollers. “Happy Bacon Day!” shouted lifties, including two employees downloading the Summit Express lift with a megaphone. “Bacon, Bacon, Bacon!” exclaimed ski patrollers, doling out bacon-wrapped scallops drenched in umami-tinged hibachi sauce.

We missed bacon waffles at the Cliffhouse, but there were treats aplenty elsewhere: jalapeño bacon, Canadian bacon, applewood-smoked bacon, oh my!

At the base we accepted paper towels topped with portions of not one, not two, not three, but five strips of peppered bacon. We picked through the chewy tangles and traded greasy cardiologist jokes with smiling strangers.

Home Team BBQ’s free BLT sliders disappeared within minutes — or so we heard — so we moseyed inside to order bacon-topped cocktails instead. Home Team’s bloody mary is blended from smoked, puréed tomatoes; spicy smoked salt lines the rim. We completed the pairing with pulled pork sliders, smoked chicken tacos, and chicken skin cracklins dipped in blue cheese. Fewer than three weeks of ski season remain — why not gorge? amandaraewashere@gmail.com

Time to eat everything while it lasts (top to bottom): At Buttermilk Closing’s annual Bacon Appreciation Day last Sunday; ski patrollers and mountain staff served up plenty of pork treats; Elk Camp Restaurant on Snowmass slings artisan pizza made with 100-year-old sourdough starter; Pardon My French parties on Mondays at La Crêperie du Village boast free-flowing rosé for femmes.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Don’t let the final days of slush bumps — and springtime parties — pass you by.

END OF SKI SEASON COUNTDOWN ONLY A FEW WEEKS LEFT ... MAKE THEM COUNT

THE END OF THE SEASON is near. When this issue gets published, we will have only 17 days, or roughly 120 hours, left in the 2016-17-ski season.

Besides skiing, those days include at least four closing parties, one free concert, an uphill race and even a five-day film festival.

Even when the season winds down in Aspen-Snowmass, BARBARA PLATTS there’s never a dull moment to be had.

Along with being a crazed time of the year, the end of the ski season is always a time of reflection for me. We spend the whole season going nonstop, dedicating almost every free moment we have to skiing or other snow-related activities. Our days off, hell even our hours off during the work day, are spent getting turns in on the mountain. When we aren’t out on the hill, we are constantly checking the weather, wondering when the next powder morning will be. Skiing in Aspen

is a full-time job in itself, and one that generally conquers all other goals and ambitions until the lifts close in mid-April.

But, this time of year, I can’t help but look back over the season, and even recall seasons past. I count up my ski days, I reminisce on that killer run I did where I pushed myself just a bit too hard and came out on top. And that other run when I fully wiped out. I think of the friends that have come to visit and all the fun we had on and off the slopes. Plus the friends I’ve made from time on the mountain.

Springtime in Aspen, just before offseason kicks in, reminds me just how lucky I am to call this place home. Sure, it may sound cheesy, but these bluebird days are constantly going down as one of the things I’m most thankful for.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Anyway, with a short amount of time left and so much to do, I won’t attempt to hold you much longer on this page. I’ll just leave you with a few suggestions on must-attend parties and moments to remember.

Apr il 6 - Apr il 1 2 , 2017

Here it goes…

Bacon Day: This was actually last Sunday afternoon, so if you did not attend you’ve already missed it. Sorry! This is Buttermilk’s closing day. Mark your calendar for next year if you’re a fan of bacon, which, really, why wouldn’t you be? If you didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Buttermilk properly, the mountain will be open for uphill fun on April 8 and 9 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Although no lifts will be running, people can uphill on Main Buttermilk, West Buttermilk or Tiehack. Food services will be available and there will be a vendor village set up at the base.

Snowmass fun: The final Bud Light Hi-Fi Concert Series takes place April 8 at Snowmass Base Village and features the band The Main Squeeze. Also happening in Snowmass, the Lynn Britt Cabin will be aprés central every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, starting at 2 p.m. This goes until the last day the lifts are open: April 16. Close out the season on the second-to-

last day (April 15) with a beach party at Elk Camp. The party starts at 11:30 a.m. and bathingsuit attire is highly encouraged.

Highlands Closing Day: If you’ve read my column in past years, you know I’m a huge fan of Highlands Closing. This day is practically a holiday in Aspen. It brings in the end of the season at Highlands with funky costumes, a great deal of cocktails and some fist-pumping tunes. The party is all over the mountain, but convenes at the base around 4 p.m. This year, Highlands Closing Day takes place April 9. As always, imbibe responsibly.

The end of the season is upon us. But before you fully embrace offseason, enjoy the remaining days of skiing. Soak in the sunshine, spend time with the people you love and have a toast to 2016-17 ski season.

Cheers!

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA

GINNIE MEYER As we ease on down that road toward spring, you might start dipping your toe back into outdoor living. It starts with two minutes of staring into the sunshine before you huddle back under the blanket, but before you know it, you’ll be reading your newspaper al fresco with a cocktail in hand.

That moment requires planning, so it’s time to talk spring cocktail. Sure, you could go generic with your old standby, but even small moments deserve to be celebrated with something a little extraordinary. Let our Ginnie Meyer be your first taste of spring. The drink is a refreshing blend of gin, freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice, and ginger beer. It’s a slow wave goodbye to citrus season as the sun breaks through the clouds. Meyer lemons are sweeter than everyday lemons, with a flavor that might remind you of a slightly tart orange. They are also usually a brighter, more vibrant shade of yellow that looks beautiful when sliced for garnish. You should be able to find them at most grocery stores during the winter and early spring, but you can substitute equal parts lemon and orange juice, if you can’t. Like all citrus, Meyer lemons can be squeezed at the peak of their season and their juice frozen for later.

Portion 1/2 cup of juice into small zip-top bags to have enough for four cocktails, and sip all year long. You may have noticed old favorites like the dark and stormy and Moscow mule popping up on happy hour menus. Ginger beer, which is stronger in flavor than the familiar ginger ale, is having a moment right now. This recipe capitalizes on the availability of high-quality and, if you’re lucky, local versions of this lightly carbonated, slightly spicy mixer.

LIBATIONS WAS CREATED BY BELOVED ASPEN TIMES PUBLISHER GUNILLA ASHER, WHO DIED JUNE 2, 2014, AFTER A BRAVE BATTLE

MAKE IT 1 ounce freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice 1/2 ounce simple syrup 2 ounces gin 2 to 4 ounces ginger beer 1 piece of candied ginger 1 mint sprig, for garnish (optional) Pour the lemon juice, simple syrup, and gin into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake the cocktail like you mean it and strain over fresh ice in a Collins (tall) glass. Top with the ginger beer and garnish with a piece of candied ginger stuck on a toothpick. Top with mint, if desired.

Chef’s note: If you don’t have bar measuring tools, you can use a tablespoon measure — 1 ounce is equal to 2 tablespoons.

Also, the recipe calls for simple syrup, which is simple: In a small saucepan, combine equal parts water and sugar, and bring to a boil until the sugar is fully dissolved.

One cup of water and one cup of sugar is a convenient quantity to keep on hand. The syrup can be flavored by steeping ingredients like herbs and vanilla beans, or by blending with fresh fruit juice or purée (like raspberries) — because soon enough, you’re going to need a summer cocktail.

WITH CANCER. CHEERS — TO GUNNER!

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | ARGENTINA

by ALBERT STUMM for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUENOS AIRES’ PALERMO SOHO: SHOP, EAT, DRINK ONCE YOU’VE SEEN Buenos Aires’ wide, crowded boulevards and the balcony where Eva Peron waved to the masses, you might get the impression the city is all about grandiose architecture and the fast-paced attitude that is so common in big cities.

But head to Palermo Soho, and you’ll notice that the buildings get smaller, the streets get calmer and the crowds get cooler.

Once a rundown warehouse district with shabby stucco homes, the area takes its name from New York’s upscale SoHo neighborhood. A canopy of oak trees lines the cobblestone streets, which are more pedestrian- and bike-friendly than in many other neighborhoods. Still be careful crossing the street because stop signs and crosswalks are but faint suggestions to most drivers.

GETTING THERE

Palermo is Buenos Aires’ largest neighborhood, but it can vary

greatly from one end to the other and it’s divided into several sections. Palermo Soho is roughly bordered by the avenues Cordoba, Scalabrini Ortiz, Santa Fe and Juan B. Justo. From downtown, take the green D line on the subway, known as Subte, to the Plaza Italia station, find Jorge Luis Borges street and walk away from the botanical garden. After about eight blocks, you’ll run into the oval Plaza Serrano, which sits at the center of the neighborhood.

WHAT TO DO

Palermo Soho isn’t exactly undiscovered by tourists, but there aren’t many big hotels and it’s devoid of the city’s most famous historical and cultural attractions. Instead, you come to this part of town to shop, eat and drink.

After the Argentine peso plummeted in value in 2002, importing clothes became prohibitively expensive. As a

result, young local designers filled the void and opened up shop here. At Agostina Bianchi, located at Thames 1733, you’ll find limited edition, handmade clothing for women that seems to fuse knitting with high fashion.

For men, try Felix, at Honduras 4916, for a wide selection of local brands in styles ranging from tank tops to suits. Gurruchaga street around the corner is packed with trendy boutiques, and during the weekends, Plaza Serrano and nearby Plaza Armenia transform into a funky arts and crafts fair.

For dinner, Palermo Soho offers a high concentration of quality restaurants. The supper-clubby Casa Cruz, at Uriarte 1658, sits behind 15-foot brass doors and blends updated Argentine standards with Mediterranean flavors. The seafood-focused Crizia, at Gorriti 5143, provides a welcome break from all the beef joints in a

soaring converted warehouse.

Skip dessert and instead hit up one of the area’s numerous ice cream shops. Try dulce de leche, an Argentine specialty, at Tufic, at Guatemala 4597.

Several bars that seem to cater to a get-drunk crowd form a ring around Plaza Serrano, where young people taking advantage of two-for-one drink specials hang out late into the night strumming guitars. But fan out from the plaza for a more sophisticated side. Nicky Harrison, at Malabia 1764, is tucked into the back of a stellar sushi restaurant and serves creative drinks like the Valkiria, a combo of vodka, absinthe, honey and lime juice.

ABOVE: The Palermo Soho neighborhood offers a smaller scale and calmer vibe than some other Buenos Aires neighborhoods, which makes for a good destination for shopping, dining and strolling.

ARTIST SONJA HINRICHSEN LEADS LOCAL VOLUNTEERS IN TRANSFORMING THE LANDSCAPE

DRAWING DOWN CLIMATE CHANGE

by Andrew Travers

I HAD BEEN WALKING IN CIRCLES in the snow for about an hour when I paused and took a good look around.

When I did, I counted 14 spirals within view in the snow across the fields above Ashcroft, stomped into existence by 20 volunteers in snowshoes. Like me, they’d been walking their spirals alone, listening to the crunch of their steps in the surprisingly hard snow, quietly and steadily making something huge and awe-inspiring. A few days later, when I saw aerial photos of what we’d done — shot by drones and from an airplane — I found my little plot of land, where I’d walked for a few hours and made four snow spirals: one big one and a cluster of three smaller ones. From that bird’s eye view, I could identify the spirals in my immediate area, of course, but I could also see dozens more that were farther away. Seen from as a whole from above, it was a massive and intricate thing, seemingly drawn with a single artist’s hand.

Apr il 6 - Apr il 1 2 , 2017

For artist Sonja Hinrichsen, this landscape-scale snow drawing project is part of an impressive and growing body of ingenious environmental art that uses snow as its canvas and people as its paintbrushes. For us volunteers, it was a memorable way to spend an unseasonably warm midMarch morning in the mountains. For the City of Aspen and the Community Office of Resource Efficiency (CORE) it was the beginning of what they hope will be a valleywide movement of action to conserve energy and fight climate change — an initiative they’ve dubbed “The High Five.”

STEP BY STEP The High Five initiative takes its name from the five towns in the Roaring Fork Valley and the idea of taking action in bulk (i.e., grabbing five friends to take five actions to save energy). It’s calling on Roaring Fork Valley locals to sign a pledge online to take five actions.

Beginning April 10, High Fivers can choose their actions, selecting from a list of 25 options (most of them are simple, like unplugging appliances when they’re not in use, composting food scraps, taking five-minute showers; some are more involved, like getting a home energy assessment,

installing a programmable thermostat, planting a local species in your yard or installing rain barrel). Every five actions enters you into a prize drawing and, of course, saves some carbon emissions.

The snow-drawing event at Ashcroft offered an on-the-ground metaphorical equivalent to the seemingly small, seemingly insignificant energysaving steps that the High Five is promoting. After all, those thousands of snowshoe stomps in the snow added up to something monumental. And if thousands of people’s High Five actions become lifelong habits, that impact too would add up.

“We wanted to bring creativity into the conversation,” explained Lara Whitley, the local artist and PR flak now working as the community engagement and marketing manager for CORE, who brought Hinrichsen’s snow-drawing project to Aspen.

Whitley believes the High Five can use local pride and positivity (and art) as a catalyst for change. More than a decade after “An Inconvenient Truth,” people may have been numbed to dire warnings of rising sea levels, superstorms, mass extinctions and the end of snow.

“There’s so much noise out there,”

Whitley told a crowd that gathered to hear about the snow-drawing project at the Pitkin County Library, “and people are tired of doom and gloom messages and hard science that maybe doesn’t enter the psyche in the same way as creativity could.”

A few days later, after walking spirals around Ashcroft, people were already making the connection between small actions, potentially large impacts on climate change and walking spirals alone in the snow.

“You take one step at a time,” Shere Coleman, a local artist and puppeteer among the volunteer spiralers, told me

at midday. “It’s one step, and then you take another step. That’s the bigger meditation for me. It’s a huge thing to consider, shifting the way people do things, but if you’re willing to just do it like this,” she took a few steps in the snow, “then we’ll get there.”

IMPERFECT CIRCLES

“Don’t worry, you are not going to mess up my piece,” Hinrichsen comforted her battalion of volunteers outside of the King Cabin, before the snow-stomping began.

As precise and detailed as her snow-

drawings look from high above, it’s an imprecise art on the ground. It’s an act of communal spontaneity. Hinrichsen doesn’t design the piece beforehand or give detailed instructions on what to do. She doesn’t yell instructions from a megaphone.

That morning at Ashcroft, she simply held up a sheet of loose leaf paper with spirals sketched on it, and told us how to make one: walk to a central point, then walk in circles around that point. When it’s as big as you want it, or you run out of room, walk somewhere else and start another.

She assuaged our concerns about making perfectly round spirals by motioning to a grove of crooked aspen trees and saying, “Look at nature, look at trees: none of this is exactly vertical, they all look different, everything has little variations to it, which is what makes things interesting,” The only limitation she placed on us was not to make other designs — she didn’t want us getting cute and making hearts or spelling our names.

“The most important thing is to have fun with this, and listen to your own footsteps in the snow,” she told the group. “It’s meditative to walk around and around and around and have the landscape kind of rotate around you. You are in that same landscape for a long time — not just skiing or snowshoeing through as you normally would.”

And off we went, spreading out across the area as drones hovered above us.

“You are all choreographers,” she said. “You decide: ‘Oh! There is this big space that is all white and there is nobody there — let me go there!’”

Hinrichsen, German-born and California-based, has made her snow drawings all over Europe and the U.S. in recent years. But the idea was born here during an artist residency at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in the winter of 2009.

She had previously been making video and installation pieces. A few casual snowshoe treks around Snowmass serendipitously led her to what’s become her signature work and radically changed the trajectory of her career.

Looking at the imprints her snowshoes made in the snow on a walk, she began playing around with making designs, eventually making large patterns of circles on the golf course at the Snowmass Club.

“That’s when I thought, ‘Maybe I am going to do more of that,’” she recalled. “Maybe it’s not just playing around in the snow. … That was before I thought this could be a participatory project.”

She soon began taking to the snow with groups of people — starting with
