CLASSICAL MUSIC SOME OF YOUNGEST

local classical music talents are taking to the stage at Harris Concert Hall on Friday, May 5, for the Aspen Music Festival and School’s annual Beginning Strings Showcase.

The concert is the culmination of a school year’s worth of practice for local musicians, in grades two through five, who take part in the AMFS AfterWorks program.

The Beginning Strings program gives kids group and private lessons, master classes and ensemble performances. The program runs at Aspen Elementary School, Aspen Community School, Aspen Country Day, Basalt Elementary, Crystal River Elementary, Sopris Elementary and Glenwood Springs Elementary. Music Fest instructors guide the neophyte musicians into the world of string music throughout the academic year. The annual spring showcase brings students from all of the schools together on the vaunted Harris Hall stage.

The program is in its fourth year. In recent years, the Music Fest has invested heavily in local youngsters — along with the worldwide talents who come to town in the summer — with three after-school programs offering sustained music education in the Roaring Fork Valley.

“We thought, as an educational organization in the world of music, that we had a local responsibility as well as a global responsibility,” Music Festival President and CEO Alan Fletcher told The Aspen Times.

The concert is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.

THE

To Support The Gunilla Israel Asher Scholarship Fund

Introducing the fabulous Kia. Kia is a 10 year old healthy Hound/ possibly Lab or American Staffie Mix who is just the sweetest. She plays well with dogs, but is leery of dominant dogs in her face but who wouldn’t be? She loves to cuddle with both humans and her furry foster siblings. She loves her balls and leash walks are one of her favorite things to do because she has quite a bit of energy for an older dog.

She comes when she is called, knows general commands, and sticks around her human. She is good with cats. She loves to play with her little 15 pound foster brother and would enjoy a family that loves to snuggle and take her for daily, long walks. Kia is up to date on shots, spayed and microchipped.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

compiled by THE ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

BACKCOUNTRY BASICS

1950 MO N T E Z U M A B A S I N

“KNOW THE RULES WHEN TOURING HIGH COUNTRY,” cautioned The Aspen Times on April 13, 1950. “Spring time is touring time around Aspen and Aspenites and visitors should know the rules necessary to play that game safely and pleasantly. Last week, a broken leg to a visiting touring skier above Montezuma Basin taught several of a group skiing in that area a few of the rules the hard way. Stuart Mace was called upon to take his dog team in to bring out the injured man. Since he is the last man on the trail, and we mean the last stop on the way to the high country, and the first man called on for help in case of accident he is entitled to know who is risking life and limb on the high slopes. Common courtesy demands that they stop and give him that information. Skiers expecting to use the Tagert Ski hut must make arrangements with Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Bayer who live in Aspen for the key and use of the facilities there.

They are acting for the National Ski Association which received the hut as a gift from William C. Tagert, who owns the Montezuma mine and mill buildings. And the Montezuma Mill has been leased to Stuart Mace for storing supplies and equipment for his work of conducting sled tours of the high country. Aspenites who should know the high country and the proper way to enjoy it must inform skiers from out-of-town on the rules of common courtesy. Persons living as far away as Aspen have a stake in the conduct of the skiers making these trips for in case of accidents or snow slides, the whole country will be called upon for help. After injuries or accidents, the injured and their companions are not at all bashful in calling for help and assistance where before they were mighty independent and scornful.” The photograph above shows a group of spring skiers at Montezuma Basin in the early 1950s.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

WEAR IT: SUUNTO SPARTAN SPORT WRIST HR

IT’S AN EVEN SEVEN minutes into an afternoon run. My watch buzzes, denoting a mile complete.

Pace and heart-rate numbers flash on the screen.

For a month the Spartan Sport Wrist HR from Suunto has served as my training partner. It also tracks my steps, calories burned and other metrics during the day.

The watch is a premium piece at $499. For that price you get a color touchscreen, optical heart-rate gauge, and features to measure and save data produced as you hike, run or bike.

The most unique feature is the watch’s svelte heart-rate sensor.

Instead of a chest strap, Suunto worked with biometric-sensor brand Valencell to add LEDs that measure blood flow in your wrist.

I have long found chest-strap heart monitors annoying. Watches like this Suunto give convenience for anyone hoping to monitor their heart rate without a strap.

Accuracy was close to that of my chest strap monitor, but not dead on.

I also found the watch took a while — sometimes up to a few minutes into a

run — to register a heart rate.

The company concedes that optical heart-rate sensors are not as accurate as straps. “Currently, the best optical wrist measurements stay 90% of the time within 5% of the chest-measured heart rate,” Suunto notes.

Beyond the heart-rate feature, the Spartan HR proved a solid training partner. Its interface is easy to learn, including swipe-able screens and three buttons to control function.

The watch is made for multi-sport athletes. As such, there are modes

for a number of sports, biking, running, swimming and hiking are some examples. It tracks pace, speed, distance, elevation, GPS, heart rate and much more.

It was built to be both a daily activity tracker and a sport watch. The tracker features include 24/7 heart rate, steps counted and calorie-burn rate. You can see steps in real-time on the main watch face.

Worn as a regular watch, Suunto offers a few looks. I liked the digital face while working out. But you can

switch to an old-school face with hash marks and rotating hands.

In the end, this is a pricey watch that will perform. Its heart-rate function could be better, but for most people the 5 percent variance, as outlined above, is not a game over.

For anyone needing a powerful training device that captures heart rate, pace, GPS data, and myriad of other stats, the Suunto is a solid choice.

WINEINK

VIVA LA FRANCE! HAIL PROTECTION IN BURGUNDY

SO THE MOST talked-about election in the world is the runoff for the presidency of France.

On Sunday, May 7, the young, left-leaning upstart Emmanuel Macron will take on the right-wing Marine Le Pen in a contest that will determine the direction of the world’s second-largest wineproducing nation. OK, KELLY J. HAYES so I projected my own personal interests into the lede ... but what do you expect?

This is, after all, a wine column.

As is the case in America (the third-largest wine producer), both candidates have made promises that will be beyond their capabilities to keep. But I have yet to hear either Macron or Le Pen make any promises about controlling the weather. Hey, as if a candidate you are going to make promises you can’t keep, you might as well go HUGE. And in the French wine region of Burgundy, a national treasure, there is nothing … nothing …

HUGER than the weather.

THE STORMS OF BURGUNDY

Four of the last five vintages in Burgundy have been subjected to savage hailstorms that have, in the blink of an eye, destroyed both vines and the financial prospects of winemakers. Last April, a hailstorm hit the Mâconnais region of Burgundy and damaged over 5,000 acres of vines. Then in May, Chablis and Beaujolais were also decimated by frozen stones from the skies. At the end of the 2016 harvest, the yields for the entire Burgundy region were down by nearly a third This comes after the 2012, 2013 and 2014 vintages that also saw massive storms. In June 2014, famed vineyards in the Santenay, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard appellations in the Côte de Beaune were “machine gunned” by hailstones the size of golf balls over a three-minute period. Those three minutes were the most important of the year for many producers.

This is nothing new for Burgundy in particular, or the wine growing regions of France in general. Hail has long been a

nemesis. A cynic might say that the storms are simply God’s way of adjusting the supply to stimulate demand. Hmm. THE SOLUTION

There must be some way in this day and age to protect the grapes from the wrath of the weather.

So it was that this month a group of French winemakers announced with some flourish that the entire Burgundy region will be placed under a high-tech “hail shield” to protect the vines below. This means “covering” over 100,000 acres of vines and shielding them from the threat of hail. No small task.

The hail shield will not come in the form of netting, which would be prohibitively expensive, labor intensive and questionably effective. Not to mention hideously ugly. No, the shield will consist of 125 strategically placed ground to air generators “that cause tiny particles of silver iodide to rise to the clouds above, where they prevent the formation of hailstones.” That is the way the technology was described by the British newspaper, The Telegraph, after an interview with Thiébault Huber, president of both the Volnay wine syndicate (or association), and the ARELFA, a French acronym for the “association for the study and fight

against atmospheric issues.”

The generators are placed 6 miles apart and surround the vineyards in the region. After farmers and winemakers are alerted by a meteorologist, up to four hours prior to the arrival of a predicted storm, they ignite the generators. Each has a combustion chamber that heats an acetone silver iodide solution and releases the particles up to a half-mile-high in the sky. Smoke from the solution and the ice forming particles scatter in the storm and, hopefully, reduce the potential for large hail stones.

Emissions last until the end of the hail risk period, a warning having an average duration of about 10 hours. “The idea is to kill the storm before it arrives and avoid hail forming,” Mr. Huber told The Telegraph.

This is sort of the opposite of the “cloud seeding” that some

ski resorts have tested, where they drop the same silver iodide particles into water and clouds in hopes of stimulating snowfall. The theory is the particles will alter the composition of the moisture in the clouds and therefore alter what falls to Earth. In the case of the resorts, it is hoped that the moisture coalesces into snowflakes, and in the case of the vineyards the hope is that it dissolves the hail into raindrops.

While the candidates may not make promises about controlling the French weather, at least the winemakers are attempting to Make Burgundy Great Again.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

The author and newfound friends experiene the colors and flavors of a new place.

PUSHING MY BOUNDARIES LIFE LESSONS LEARNED IN MARRAKESH, MOROCCO

THE ROOM WAS BOILING hot. I couldn’t touch the walls or the floors for more than a second because of the intense heat coming off of them. No windows existed and the lighting was almost eerie. And, perhaps the most compromising part, I was entirely naked, with the exception of a paper-like thong (if you could call it that) that just barely covered me.

BARBARA PLATTS “This is supposed to be relaxing,” I kept telling myself. I was lying on a waterproof white cushion, waiting for whatever would come next. “This is relaxing,” I took a deep breath, in and out.

“God damn it, relax woman!”

Oddly enough, the only comforting part of this experience was that I wasn’t alone. There were three other nude women in the room. They weren’t strangers to me, exactly. I met them the day before.

Any doubts about our closeness were quickly dissolved when two large women came into the room and turned on the faucet in the corner. Suddenly, it was us against them. They were clothed fully and looked tough as nails. Although they were both Moroccan women, they almost had the stature of Germans. One look in their eyes made it clear that they were not taking any bulls--- and, even though

we didn’t speak their language, we would be doing exactly as they said.

“Down!” One pointed to the cushions we were sitting on. Like fishes out of water, we flapped and flailed, trying to spread out in the appropriate way so as to appease the women. Some of us opted to lie on our backs, others went for the stomach. These Moroccans were unimpressed and continued to point fingers at us until we landed in the correct position. They then scooped up a brown, chunky lotion from out of a bucket and spread it sporadically on our arms and legs.

Once the gunk was applied, they exited the room just as quickly as they had come, leaving the four of us hot, wet, naked and confused.

I stared at the ceiling, trying my best to make sense of what had just happened, but coming up with little to comfort myself. That’s when one of the ladies next to me said, “Since we’re sitting here for who knows how long, why don’t we do a gratitude circle?” This was only the second day of our trip in Marrakesh, Morocco, and already I had been stripped down to nothing and asked to talk about my feelings with three other ladies I barely knew? I was skeptical, but we actually did it. We talked about what we are thankful for, what scares us and how we hope to grow in the coming months and years. I had never been so open, both physically and mentally, with

people I had just met. But I was eating the whole thing up, feeling more and more comfortable as the conversation went on.

This mostly nude experience, also known as a hamam or Moroccan spa treatment, was just one small segment of a five-day yoga retreat in Morocco, which I attended a couple of weeks ago with my cousin.

It was put on by Aspen local Amanda Dykann and a colleague of hers, Michelle Lee. There were 12 of us total that spent the week working on our practice, meditating, exploring our life goals and intentions and adventuring all around the aesthetically pleasing city of Marrakesh.

For me, traveling has always been a way to expand my mind and open myself up to new experiences. This trip did that in so many ways, from when I bargained for my first-ever Moroccan rug to when I had henna painted all over my arms and legs.

Like all good things, the trip came to an end much before I was ready.

But I left the country with more than an iPhone stocked full with photos and a newfound ability to enter into a headstand in yoga.

What I truly took from the trip, I learned from my fellow yogis and the two retreat guides: That the energy we put out into the world always comes back to us. When we open ourselves up to loving one another, and loving ourselves,

the possibilities in front of us are endless. I can’t thank Amanda and the rest of the group enough for teaching me that.

And, as for the hamam spa experience, the busty ladies finally returned to the hot room where we were still laid out with brown goop all over. With wiry-like gloves and some kind of black salty substance, they proceeded to scrub each of us down vigorously from head to toe.

As they scrubbed, rolls of dead skin slid off our persons like spaghetti noodles. Once our skin was properly conditioned, they doused us with water, rinsing off all of the newfound impurities, and shooed us out of the room. Thankfully, they gave us robes at that point.

Looking back, this spa treatment still seems a bit unconventional, but after the fact, my heart was full of gratitude for my fellow hamam participants.

And my skin was softer than a newborn baby’s bottom.

For more information on yoga retreats with Amanda Dykann, check out her website at AmandaDykann.com.

Barbara Platts may very well be hooked on Moroccan spa treatments, however she has yet to find a place to get them in the Roaring Fork Valley or anywhere else in the state, for that matter. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

OFFSEASON PLANS? Depending on who’s asking, the simple question can evince genuine curiosity, borderlinehostile envy, and everything in between. Considering that my work isn’t exactly seasonal, though, I’m sick of it.

I know it’s been a long, wild winter, and y’all are fried alive from nonstop shredding, skinning, AMANDA RAE merrimaking, and dodging gaper tourists swinging their skis around all wrong, but why are we expected to skip town once the lifts stop spinning? Sure, I’ve got wanderlust. But there’s something undeniably peaceful about the Quiet Month of May — even if the weather is uncooperative while our social media feeds blow up with saucy images of white-sand beaches and street food from far-flung cities.

Town is distilled to its essence.

Time seems to pass more slowly.

Call me selfish, lame, or a loner: Spring is when I swoon for Aspen all over again because I get more of her to myself. Without the constant distraction of powder days, media events, festivals, races, guest-chef prix-fixe dinners, wine tastings, après-ski, sold-out shows, and bevies of imported beefcake, personal productivity soars. A pause can be exhilarating, if only you embrace it.

So, instead of asking me where I’m heading this offseason (Denver, definitely; a weekend in California, maybe; at least one road trip with an unknown destination), a better question is: What are you eating this offseason?

Despite the obvious fact that most favorite haunts are locked up solid, food surprises are out there. One must summon a traveler’s spirit of adventure, ask questions in anticipation of

thoughtful answers, and open mouth and mind to spontaneity.

Restaurants that stick it out along with us non-service industry, -retail, or -on-mountain employees are rewarded: bars packed with grateful diners grubbing on special menus, drunk off this only-in-springtime atmosphere. Patrons reap benefits, too. Rustique Bistro rewards us with Fried Chicken Thursdays (three courses, $27). Justice Snow’s has a $15, two-course lunch ($25 dinner) and $4 local beer.

This week Home Team BBQ launches a $5 happy hour menu (five menu items, and drinks).

Mezzaluna offers $12 pizza and pasta at lunch; two-for-one dinner entrées Monday to Wednesday; and a $30 prix-fixe Thursday through Saturday. Meat & Cheese, White House Tavern, CP Burger, Hops Culture, the Red Onion and Ryno’s are all open, check the specials. And Mi Chola, home to a bar-menu tamale special that redefines what’s achievable in a lowly “side salad,” has picked up the comedy gigs once held at the Sky Hotel (RIP).

“The flan is excellent,” Denver headliner Deacon Gray told me last Saturday night, minutes before he took the mic. I giggled, and he clarified that the comment was not meant as an ironic joke after all. I haven’t tried the flan yet, but Gray crushed it, and he’s not the kind of guy who looks like he digs into dessert very often. Stay curious!

Those who breeze into Over Easy on a weekend will enjoy a small though satisfying luxury: a choice of table, indoors or out, and likely a seat at the juice bar. You might not be stuck on the corner stool next to that mesmerizing, citrus-pressing, Rube Goldberg machine, either.

Riding my bike the wrong way down every street in the core last Sunday, I passed a friend on foot. We stopped in the middle

of a crosswalk to talk about what we aren’t doing during offseason.

Not a vehicle interrupted us the entire time. Had he eaten anything notable recently?

“Yeah!” he exclaimed. His eyes grew wide as he detailed a chance discovery at L’Hostaria’s bar: filetti di sogliola. Drenched in champagne butter with wilted spinach, cherry tomatoes, and a green-bean potato cake, sole became his new favorite fish.

Though a seafood enthusiast, he’d always ignored sole. I get that — it sounds as appetizing as the bottom of a shoe. That night, though, his whim was rewarded.

“Damn, that was a good piece of fish!” he told me. “And only sixteen dollars!” To enjoy a nice piece of fish — and as a creatively composed dish — in Aspen for less than 20 bucks is a treat, indeed. Offseason is a good time to explore new foods, whether you venture out or cook at home.

On the subject of taking chances, I shared an uncharacteristic brunch

selection at Over Easy, a spurof-the-moment departure from the standard two or three items I typically choose. It’s risky: few things ruin a meal faster than pining for the familiar plate you didn’t order under the auspices of branching out.

It was lunchtime, technically, so I made a bold move toward the “Munchi Burger,” which I hadn’t noticed in four years. It’s grass-fed beef, a crispy hash-brown patty, ample bacon, an egg how you like it (over medium, please!), lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickles, all sandwiched between a maple syrup-glazed bun fresh from Louis Swiss Pastry and served, if you feel me, with Southern cheese grits for a single bill more. With our 20 percent locals’ discount, the succulent stack — easily split with a friend yet still satisfying — tallied $11.20. Really!

Offseason is when creativity comes out to play, too. Chefs still stuck in the kitchen are dreaming and testing; they barter homemade condiments and share strange

by AMANDA RAE

ingredients — the professional cooking equivalent of back alley drug deals. Ask what they’re up to.

A Facebook post about my own sourdough kitchen experiments developed into a fast-unspooling comment chain 90-plus deep among a half-dozen chefs about grains. It led two of us to visit chef Christopher Randall only an hour later at the Limelight Hotel. He baked blue cornbread that turned out lilac, using an heirloom variety grown in North Carolina. He served us a fat wedge over an impromptu three-bean and pork belly stew dotted with smoky, house-made hot sauce.

Before that, he cut up his last Fuji apple from Paonia’s fall harvest, then slid forth a crock of Southern-style pimento cheese made using Rocking W block cheddar from Olathe, Colo. (Both pictured, right.)

“It’s still squeaky, the cheese is so fresh,” says Randall, who doused the spread with roasted red pepper sauce and fresh oregano in a Mediterranean twist. We slathered it on grilled bread. Elation ensued.

Randall plans to put the appetizer on his summer menu, launching mid-month. Until then, the Limelight is open with happy hour specials from 3 to 7 p.m. ($6 margaritas, mules and mimosas; $6 rosé wine on Wednesdays).

Special events catering to locals are sporadic as well. L’Hostaria held a benefit for JAS music students on April 29 that funneled at least $2,000 to the nonprofit.

The dining room filled with the teens’ lively jazz and the scent of smoked, barbecued meat, which sommelier Carlos Valenzuela prepared especially for the prixfixe menu. Sharing his hobby with core supporters is more feasible now than, say, December or January. (Read about Valenzuela’s smoked experiments in the April 13 edition of this column.)

Call it his offseason gift to the community — acceptance of which is only possible if you’re around to enjoy it.

INSTEAD OF ASKING ME WHERE I’M HEADING THIS OFFSEASON, A BETTER QUESTION IS: WHAT ARE YOU EATING THIS OFFSEASON? MANY RESTAURANTS MAY BE CLOSED, BUT FOOD SURPRISES ARE OUT THERE….

amandaraewashere@gmail.com Limelight Hotel chef Christopher Randall’s recent offseason experiments include blue cornbread with three-bean pork-belly stew (above) and pimento cheese with Colorado cheddar, roasted red pepper, and fresh oregano (top); the latter dish will likely go on his summer menu, launching mid-May.

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

DRINK IT What’s in the Ginger Green? Jus makes it with kale, cucumber, celery, romaine, spinach, parsley, green apple, ginger and lemon. And the Charcoal Lemonade? Alkaline Water, lemon, activated charcoal and wildflower honey.

JUICED UP Well, after a three-night girls’ trip to Vegas, it’s hard to think about cocktailing. But a little detox period does not mean one does not drink; in fact, quite the opposite ... you drink, but just less the alcohol. This is a week to hydrate, my friends.

And a go-to for me is a cold-pressed juice from Jus. Tucked away in the Ute Building, this local juice bar serves up just what you need to feel refereshed, rejuvenated and ready to get back in the game. A few faves: Ginger Greens, Spicy Greens, Charcoal Lemonade and the Beet Berry Martini. And, speaking of martinis, a few favorite libations straight from Sin City will appear in future columns, so stay tuned.

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

by MAY SELBY

FROM KENYA TO COLORADO

MAY SELBY

A BUDDING ROMANCE that originated in Africa (by way of Newark Airport) led to a long-distance relationship between Penn State (for him) and the University of Denver (for her), resulting in a surprise proposal (on the way to Cathedral Lake) and wedding on April 8 (at St. Mary’s church and the Mountain Chalet).

The bride, Cornelia Carpenter, was born and raised in Aspen, the daughter of Curt and Cindy Carpenter. The groom, Christopher (Chris) Cardillo, grew up in Falls, Penn., the son of Greg and Terri Cardillo.

The happy pair met in 2009 on their way to Nairobi, awaiting their flight to southwestern Kenya for four months of studying wildlife in a bush camp in on the outskirts of Amboseli National Park. “Our common love for animals and conservation brought us together,” the bride blushed, adding, “it was a crush at first sight for us both.”

After their African sojourn, they kept in touch as Chris finished up his studies at Penn

State in 2010 with a degree in ecology; Cornelia pursued degrees in geography and studio art at DU, graduating in 2011. They moved to Aspen afterward, where he was a summer naturalist intern for Aspen Center for Environmental Studies then worked on Buttermilk ski patrol and for the City of Aspen in the Environmental Health Department. Cornelia worked seasonally at the Aspen Cross-Country Center and The Aspen Institute, then spent the past three years working for Aspen Public Radio, where she hosted the local radio feature The Non-Profit in the Spotlight. All the while, Cornelia continued to work on her art, which has been shown in the Aspen Chapel Gallery and the Red Brick Center for the Arts. Her most recent series of linocut prints features winter scenes in Aspen and the surrounding mountains.

Over Labor Day weekend, on Sept. 5, 2016, exactly seven years to the day after they first met, Chris popped the question on a classic Colorado fall day. Aspen was the clear choice for

their wedding as it “holds a special place in our hearts as it does for many people who live here,” said the bride.

For their honeymoon, they spent several nights at the Limelight Aspen then took a twoweek road trip around Four Corners area to explore the desert from Utah’s Goblin Valley to Arizona’s Canyon de Chelly to Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico.

They’re now back in upstate New York where Chris is entering his fourth and final year of medical school at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and hopes to specialize in Emergency Medicine and bring his career back to a mountain town after residency training. Cornelia will continue to grow her illustration business from her studio. Best wishes to the newlyweds on their new life as Mr. and Mrs. Cardillo.

WHEN THE BACKCOUNTRY BECKONS…

ONE BY ONE, the local ski mountains began to call it a season. First it was Buttermilk, then Aspen Highlands. Snowmass was soon to follow, and then Ajax after a bonus weekend of lift-served skiing (note the happy faces and springtime tree skiing in the photos at top right of the following two pages).

For some locals, it was time to head to the desert or some exotic locale for an early taste of summer. For others, work and school and life required that home, sweet home be the spring offseason destination. But others wanted more — more powder, more turns, more skiing and boarding.

While many might have headed to those Colorado resorts that seem to stay

open year-round, a couple of Aspen Times’ staffers had their mind set on the backcountry. And not just any backcountry terrain, they wanted to get to the pristine landscape up Independence Pass — before the gates are opened to the public later this month (usually the Thursday before Memorial Day).

The Colorado Department of Transportation, which maintains the road and oversees its clearing and ultimate opening each spring, obliged. Tim Holbrook, a CDOT crew member who basically serves as lead maintenance man for Independence Pass, led the way by allowing a car to maneuver up the closed road as far the parking lot at the ghost town of Independence. He bowed out there to continue his work

in the snowcat prepping the pass to open.

From there, Colorado Avalanche Information Center forecaster Colin Mitchell took over, guiding the now-skinning posse of powder-hungry skiers and boarders up some 2 miles to Geissler Mountain.

Thus, on a bluebird Colorado day, the threesome set out to document what it’s like to “earn your turns” after the lifts are closed.

What happened over the next few hours was a one of those “only in Aspen” moments for Aspen Times circulation director Maria Wimmer and Aspen Times photographer Anna Stonehouse.

The photos on the following pages tell the story.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO ...

Know Before You Go is a free avalanche awareness program offered by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. “Not much science, no warnings to stay out of the mountains, no formulas to memorize. In about an hour, you will see the destructive power of avalanches, understand when and why they happen, and how you can have fun in the mountains and avoid avalanches,� the website states.

EXPLORING THE SELKIRK MOUNTAINS

by Maria Wimmer I HAD THE RARE opportunity — after living in the Roaring Fork Valley for 15 years — to actually fly with my skis (something I hadn’t done before) into Durrand Glacier Chalet, which is 15 minutes north of Revelstoke via helicopter and is part of the Selkirk Mountain Range. From Durrand Glacier, our group of 16 people split into two groups and spent seven days skinning in the backcountry. The Selkirks are one of the four mountain ranges in the Columbian Mountains along with the Cariboo, Monashee and Purcell mountains.

Durrand Glacier Chalet has two other huts that you can skin to: the Empire Lake Hut, which my group went to, and the Moloch Hut, which is becoming more difficult to get to because of glacial receding. A typical day started with eating a hearty, two-course breakfast, slamming some coffee and skinning by 8 a.m. We would typically travel 10 to 12 miles and gain at least 5,000 vertical feet — and sometimes bag two peaks a day. We usually were done skiing by 3:30 p.m. and would have afternoon tea along with appetizers and cakes.

I really was not roughing it and I did not go hungry — there were fivecourse meals in the evening along with sauna, showers and Wi-Fi. Swiss native Ruedi Beglinger and his wife, Nicoline, own the Durrand Glacier Chalet. They raised two daughters at the hut, and one, Florina, who is now 22, is apprenticing to be a guide herself. Ruedi was one of the pioneers of ski touring and guiding from huts in the Selkirks and started the Selkirk Mountain

Experience in 1985.

Nicoline mentioned that more women should be doing this sport; women have the stamina to ski tour and usually leave their egos at the door.

The owners and guides sometimes go weeks without any women at the hut, but the week I went there were six women and four staff members who were women, which was the most women they’ve seen at the hut.

Nicoline thinks the men go home and tell their wives how hard the trip was, but that women underestimate their own abilities.

If you form a group of four or six, Selkirk Mountain Experience can cater to your ability. Nicoline says they welcome people from any where in the world; we had a Ukrainian female that works on Wall Street and a San Francisco female that was seven weeks pregnant. Nicoline also advised to be yourself and bring your fashion with you — you don’t need to be masculine to succeed or enjoy the experience.

Nicoline believes Ruedi is a true feminist, as he doesn’t treat his clients or guides differently based on what gender they are, and she said she’s never heard Ruedi say he wish he had a son. When I asked Florina if they have ever wanted to market an all-girls camp, she responded that her father believes this tactic would cause women to believe they couldn’t go other times of the year.

She thinks sometimes the Canadian huts get bad press that they are all about just chasing vertical, but if you like skiing and you like walking, it doesn’t get any better.

My hardworking, trustworthy guide was Madeline Martin-Preney, who grew up in Nelson, B.C. She left resort skiing at age 11 and hasn’t turned back.

She’s a backcountry badass, and this woman definitely loves what she does.

She works 16-hour days and doesn’t

stop moving; in fact, she was breaking trail the whole week. When we would stop for lunch, she would be digging snow pits, making snow observations or helping in the kitchen. Madeline navigated us through whiteouts with her GPS and kept our group safe. Last year, on May 8, she along with four men completed the first continuous ski traverse of the Canadian Selkirks when they went from Kootenay Pass to Mikah. That journey started on the border of Canada and ran north, taking 36 days, 325-plus miles of distance and about 138,000 feet in vertical gain to complete. Madeline also agreed that if you love skiing and mountain adventures, you should head north.

In the Selkirks, it’s a unique mountain culture; it’s a part of who you are, not what you do. It’s a part of life.

British Columbia skiing is known for its endless ski runs, which can stretch for 5,000 feet. The conditions can go from high-alpine powder to the bottom being more like spring skiing. With snow piles in Revelstoke on the side of the roads and in front of houses that look 15 feet high, it makes it look like in Aspen we are living in a high-alpine desert or, as local Lorenzo Semple puts it, the (mining) dumps that it actually is. The large snow pillows on top of rocks are also a classic postcard look for the Selkirks.

When pulling into Revelstoke at the start of my trip, seeing the howitzers lined up over Rogers Pass ready to go was an exciting glimpse into the Great White North. One of my highlights (although every day seemed so impressive) was skinning on the Durrand Glacier. We rounded the bend of iced waterfalls and onto a massive, white field with cervices and then bagged Tumbledown Peak. Having a 360-degree view of the Selkirks on a clear day was amazing, as was looking over at Fang Peak. Hearing a helicopter in the background and thinking it

may land below us on a landing spot but knowing we got here via foot felt like I was accomplishing a lot more than taking the motorized way. After skiing back down to an ice cave and hitting one more peak, Goat Heads Peak, before skiing to the Chalet, it just felt like life couldn’t get much better than this. Each day presented its own challenges: mastering the steep, icy switchbacks next to a waterfall or finding our route in a whiteout to skiing through some spring crud to being aware of the high avalanche danger, it was worth the buttery ski turns and soft snow in between the trees and the views of this amazing mountain range.

The Durrand Glacier Chalet operates from Dec. 28 through the end of April. The chalet is open in the summer from July 10 through midSeptember. The chalet has renewed a 60-year lease that covers 20,000 acres of amazing ice falls, streams, plenty of peaks, glaciers and wolverines. This place is paradise for anyone in love with the great outdoors.

DEATH BECOMES THEM

OBITUARY WRITER BRUCE WEBER ON THE TRICKSTER OBITS OF ADAM MCEWEN AT THE ASPEN ART MUSEUM OBITUARIST BRUCE WEBER and artist Adam McEwen shared a subject in pornographic actress and laundry soap model Marilyn Chambers.

McEwen, in a playful body of work that is on view at the Aspen Art Museum through May, created a fake obituary of Chambers in 2004. Weber wrote her actual obituary for The New York Times upon her death five years later.

Weber is the subject of the newly released documentary “Obit.” In January at the Aspen Art Museum, he gave a fascinating talk on the fake obits in McEwen’s deaththemed solo exhibition and the art of the obituary (specifically, the deeply researched and gracefully written New York Times obituary, which is an art all its own).

“We are the only writers on the newspaper who never have to come up with a story,” he told a museum audience after showing an advance clip of “Obit.” “The only ones who are never around when news is made, who never witness anything with our own eyes that belongs in our stories.”

Over his eight years on the obit desk at the Times, Weber noted, he “did” — in the parlance of the trade — a plane hijacker and the person who found Hitler’s will, did Black Panthers and South African white separatists, snooker and ping-pong champions and the guy who claimed to have written “The Hokey Pokey” along with more well-known subjects like George Carlin, Yogi Berra, David Foster Wallace and Chambers. He also wrote a great number of so-called “advance obituaries,” stories about notable subjects written in anticipation of their death (though he’s now retired from the Times, his advance obit on filmmaker Jonathan Demme ran just last week).

At the museum, Weber linked his own work with McEwen’s by talking about the process of the advance obit, calling McEwen “an explorer

in what-if-manship, whose obituary art mischievously declares the future present.” McEwen’s fictitious obituaries for living figures include subjects like the novelist Bret Easton Ellis, model Kate Moss, actress Nicole Kidman and President Bill Clinton. The only untrue statement in them is that the person has died — the rest is written in the standard obit style that McEwen learned while writing actual obituaries for the London Daily Telegraph.

“His subjects, like mine, are going to die someday — Bill Clinton, Macaulay Culkin, Jeff Koons, Bret Ellis and the others — but he took it a step further, announcing the subject’s death as a fait accompli at the time the art was made,” Weber said.

One notable overlap between McEwen’s process and Weber’s, he noted, was the common newsroom

debate over whether to write advances on the deaths of young celebrities with apparently deathdefying lifestyles, like Britney Spears a decade ago or Charlie Sheen in his tiger blood phase (Keith Richards, he joked, has had an obit on file at the Times for three decades).

McEwen’s works are presented like blown-up newspaper clippings, pretty much visually indistinguishable from Weber’s works. For the artist, the artworks were about playing with the truth and with the strange historyshaping power of the obituarist.

“I write this thing, the next day it gets printed, it’s technically ‘true’ and it’s ‘history’ and it gets put in archives,” he told me before the show opened early this year, “and that seems absurd.”

BOOK REVIEW

‘FEAST OF SORROW: A NOVEL OF ANCIENT ROME’ IF TRUE GASTRONOMY resides at the intersection of food, art and culture, then Crystal King’s debut novel can only be described as a gastronomical delight.

Like much of the best in historical fiction, “Feast of Sorrow: A Novel of Ancient Rome” features a protagonist plucked from relative obscurity. In this case, it’s a wealthy first-century Roman gourmand named Apicius, who, in his time, was best-known for his lavish feasts and, in present day, remains credited as inspiring the world’s oldest surviving cookbook. And there is Thrasius, who is a slave.

The drama begins immediately as the novel opens with Apicius examining, and then buying, 19-year-old Thrasius, who already possesses a reputation

NEW ENGLAND CHATTER

as the region’s finest chef. A terrified Thrasius stands on the block wearing only his credentials displayed on a nameplate around his neck while Apicius pounds him with questions about his culinary specialties.

And we’re off.

King spent five years not only cooking extensively with the ingredients of the time in order to replicate the recipes in the ancient cookbook, but she also learned Italian, visited the country repeatedly and studied ancient texts. And her research shows. Every page oozes with remarkable insights not only into the foods and cooking style but also the culture, politics and social stratification of the time.

King’s writing style is spare and

The ending is satisfying, but readers are left hungry for more — if only for more of ancient Rome’s decadence.
