THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

POPULAR MUSIC AFTER 25 YEARS on the turntables, electronic music duo The Orb is making its Aspen debut. The London-based pioneers of ambient house — best known for compositions like “Little Fluffy Clouds” and “Blue Room” — create otherworldly soundscapes of samples and slow-paced psychedelic textures. In the years since the Orb’s 1991 debut — “Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld” — have been at the forefront of electronic music, creating lengthy, absorbing tracks that take listeners on a journey of garbled samples and synth textures and imagining the sounds of the future. Their trippy influence on electronic music has heavily influenced the new generation of house DJs, though the duo has evolved through the years of experimentation and collaborations that have seen them teaming with artists like dub pioneer Lee “Scratch” Perry and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour. The Orb has a new release titled “Moonbuilding 2703 AD” set for release in June, and plan to preview some of it at the Aspen show. The Orb will perform at Belly Up Aspen on Thursday, May 7. The show is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 and available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen. com. Read the May 7 edition of The Aspen Times for an interview with The Orb’s Thomas Fehlmann and more on the show.

with JOHN COLSON

Is the American Dream a mirage or a hoax? OCCASIONALLY I BECOME CONVINCED that editors and headline writers at certain national publications like to mess around with their readers’ sensibilities a bit, just to test whether anybody is really watching and thinking and forming conclusions out there. In the May 4 edition of the Sunday New York Times, for instance, the Sunday Review section featured an essay that asked readers about the reigning mythology of our country with the query, “American Dream? Or Mirage?” On the same page (page 9, if you want to look it up), another piece was titled, “Another Chance For Teens.” Both these opinion pieces dealt with our abilities, as a nation, to offer chances for a decent life to those not born with a silver spoon in their mouths. One article concluded that we pretty much have talked ourselves into believing we all have a chance at obtaining that silver spoon if we work hard enough, when there is clear evidence that we are fooling ourselves in a big way. Not a very hopeful outlook. The other was a much more hopeful look, but aimed its lens at a specific slice of the larger pie — that being, whether working with troubled teens is worth the effort it takes (the answer, predictably enough from a college professor in California, was yes.) The real question, though, is whether the American Dream is a mirage or a hoax. In the “American Dream” piece, two teams of professorial types in the fields of psychology and behavioral science conducted studies looking at how respondents viewed the concepts underlying the American Dream — that being, the quintessentially American idea that if you work hard enough and follow the rules, you can carve out a good lifestyle for yourself and your family, no matter who you are. In particular, one of the studies examined how respondents viewed the likelihood that someone born at the bottom of the U.S. ladder of success can claw their way to the upper rungs of that ladder. The upshot of their studies was that we, as a nation, “vastly overestimate the amount of upward mobility in our society.” The social scientists involved in the studies determined this by comparing the responses to questionnaires, to the actual data about upward mobility in real life. In the words of the studies’ authors, “we believe unduly in our capacity to move up the economic ladder, and these beliefs increase our mobility overestimates more generally.” In English, that means we have talked ourselves into believing we have a chance of moving up the ladder, and by that very act of self-delusion we manage to somehow make

ourselves believe it even more. Out on the streets of, say, West Baltimore, such nicely parsed ideas probably are not often the topic of conversation while hanging out at the corner wondering where your next meal is coming from, or how in the hell you’re going to pay the exorbitant rent on your brokendown townhouse or apartment. No, the topics more likely have to do with being rousted by the cops the night before as you walked down a street, and your fear that the next time it happens you might end up like Freddie Gray, “arrested” to death by the very people your taxes pay to protect you. Anyways, back to the studies, and my realization that they have confirmed something I’ve felt for years, and have written about in these pages. This nonsensical belief in the American Dream is the reason the U.S. population remains so quiescent in the face of mounting income inequality, a widening gap between rich and poor, and the disquieting fact that while the number of millionaires in this country grows daily, it is vastly outpaced by the increases in the number of poor, and by the rate of shrinkage in the middle class. This is due to a systemic problem in our country, wherein money has replaced religious faith as the bedrock value of our capitalist society. Not that I ever had much use for religion myself, but at least religious values gave lip-service, and sometimes more, to the idea that the downtrodden need the help of society to lift themselves up, and that the societal concentration of wealth can lead to evil deeds. Under our benighted system, if you’re poor, you are the object of scorn and ridicule by those inhabiting the upper crust and their political representatives (which, by the way, increasingly means the majority of politicians everywhere) and social programs designed to help you are deemed wasteful and wrong. Oh, I almost forgot about the other article on page 9 of the Sunday Times, the one that tells us how helping teens find summer jobs is a good way to help them lift themselves out of poverty and despair and become hard-working, contributing members of society. Never mind that they are facing minimum-wage jobs with little chance for promotion, and a life of relative poverty while their “betters” enjoy unprecedented wealth among the 1 percent of the world. That’s just the way it is on May 4, 2015, here on the Planet Earth at the ragged edge of the Milky Way.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Bostonians stored their garbage in wood barrels in 1909.

DISEASE AND DEATH LURKING IN THE BACKYARD Aspen, like most cities of the 1880s-1890s, was plagued

by the fear of plague. Citizens also feared outbreaks of scarlet fever and typhoid and believed, with cause, that the accumulation of garbage would guarantee ill health.

Aspen established trash ordinances from the very beginning and created the position of town scavenger in 1881. The scavenger was responsible for enforcing the town’s trash laws. He required that you clean up your backyard — where trash and ashes accumulated — after a winter of neglect. He also emptied your privy and, if you paid him, he hauled your trash to the dump. The city anointed the town scavenger as the official hauler of garbage. Anyone else who wanted to get into the business had to buy a special license to haul trash. The scavenger earned a salary, plus he charged $68 (in today’s dollars) to remove a horse carcass, $2.27 to cart off a dead dog or cat, and $6.90 to haul away each wood barrel of trash. You dealt with decomposing garbage in your alley by throwing a shovel full of lime on it. The scavenger sold that lime at $1.13 barrel. Residents burned much of their trash in their backyards and the city

contracted someone to burn other trash at the dump. An official town dump was established off the Maroon Creek road where the schools are now, far out of town. The Castle Creek

the disgusting garbage piles and their unpleasant effects on the community. And every year the city council addressed these concerns by ordering the scavenger and town marshal to arrest anyone who

THE TOWN MARSHAL WAS INSTRUCTED TO STRICTLY ENFORCE THE LAW AND YOU COULD BE FINED A WHOPPING $2,200 FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE. Bridge eventually shortened the trip, but it wasn’t built for many years. So, taking trash to the dump was a time-consuming chore. Some would empty their wagons long before they arrived at the official dumpsite. Commonplace and illegal, dumping into the Roaring Fork River also caused problems for downstream water users. Nearly every year, Aspen’s newspapers editorialized about

violated the ordinances. City arrest logs rank garbage dumpers second only to the intoxicated as scofflaws. The town marshal was instructed to strictly enforce the law and you could be fined a whopping $2,200 for the first offense. Fear of disease was not the only motivator to keep Aspen clean. It was a matter of civic pride to not have visitors’ impression of the town

marred by unsightly piles of trash or the smell of rotting animal carcasses. As a practical matter, it was also important to tamp down the fly population. Newspapers published an aphorism to remind residents to properly dispose of their garbage, “Flies, like a good many other things, will never stay where they are in danger of starvation.” Recycling was a new idea in those days. Miners’ interest in the habit perked up when they learned that a wagonload of tin cans fetched $122. They could appreciate that to load a wagon with empties called for less backbreaking labor than to extract that much metal from underground. 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.

SCENIC SNOWMASS LAKE

1929 SNOWM A SS

ON AUG. 23, 1929, the Aspen Daily Times ran an article titled “Most beautiful lake in America,” about an excursion focusing on “the wonders of Snowmass Lake.” As the article noted, “a group of eighteen persons, the largest to make the trip this season, met Sunday at Miss Lindvig’s ranch for a day in this center of scenic marvels. Those in the party represented these cities: Aspen, Carbondale, and Marble, Colorado; St. Louis, Missouri; Toledo and Cincinnati, Ohio; and Seattle, Washington. Expressions of delight at the views presented on the trail and at the lake were heard as the party returned to the automobiles, about 7:00 o’clock Sunday evening. Horses for the trip from the ranch to the lake were furnished by Miss Lindvig and Sheriff Nicholson.” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org

GEAR of the WEEK

GO BIG: MAXIMALIST RUNNING SHOES

GET IT www.hokaoneone.com

A FEW YEARS AGO, minimalist shoes and the toe-equipped FiveFingers were all the rage. Now, the trend has gone “maximalist” in the running world. Uber-cushioned shoes this year are available from big brands like Brooks, Asics, and New Balance. They offer protection and comfort with bolstered midsole foam to dampen each stride. This month, I tested plus-size shoes from a company called Hoka One One (www. hokaoneone.com). The niche brand has been in the maximal game since 2010. Hoka’s Challenger ATR shoe immediately adds more than an inch to your height. With a 29mm heel, the shoe can look big and clumsy at first glance. It is neither of those things — despite its size, the Challenger is comparatively lightweight, and on the run I never felt like it was too much shoe.

Made for trail running, the generous midsole is twice as thick as that on a traditional running shoe. This cushion dampens terrain and, Hoka touts, lets you run longer with less fatigue. I ran on dirt and then purposely over jagged railroad-bed rocks. The feeling underfoot hardly changed as the terrain got rough. Hoka markets “performance-specific cushioning.” This means the material isn’t simply a crash pad for the foot. Instead, the shoe absorbs shock but rolls the energy forward via a midsole fulcrum design made to perpetuate your stride. After years of running in minimal shoes the “rolling” motion to me felt foreign. But the Challenger ATR is not overbearing, and as a mid-foot striker my gait also worked well with the shoe. The Challenger ATR have an offset,

or “drop,” of 5mm. They weigh about 8.5 ounces per shoe (in men’s size 9), which is lighter than traditional builds thanks to an airy foam and an outsole with less rubber. Overall, I found most of Hoka’s promises to be true during my month of training in the Challenger ATRs. But it was what I didn’t feel that was perhaps more convincing — much like putting larger tires on a mountain bike, you can run with less concern in the Hoka shoes. After miles on a run, the dampening effect can pay off because you save some energy with a slightly sloppier style allowed. Hoka touts a more stable ride with its bigsole shoes. Hands down, they do perform better on rough terrain than their thinner cousins. Try the “maximalist” experience out if you want a shoe that acts more like a 4x4 than a race car. Hoka shoes and its bigbrand competitors are building a case for more cushion on the road and the trail.

WINEINK

STRAW, KIDS AND WINE THIS WILL NOT BE A TYPICAL WINEINK. In fact, I am shamelessly using this space to promote a cause, Waldorf School, and the only thing grape-related about it is that they are pouring organic wines at a fundraising benefit. More on that later. I have long been a fan of both the Waldorf education principles in general KELLY J. HAYES and the straw-bale built Waldorf School of the Roaring Fork Valley in particular. The organic, earthfriendly building on the Fork was designed by architect Jeff Dickinson and made possible, in part, by the efforts of the late Doug Sheffer, who we lost last year in a helicopter crash. Both men deserve kudos for their role in enhancing educational opportunities for kids. What better legacy can a person have than that? On Friday, May 15, at 5:30 p.m., you too can have a hand in enhancing educational opportunities for kids. Michael and Natalie Carricarte are opening their Basalt home for this year’s “Gala to Benefit the Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork.” Titled, “Envison: Hands and Heart,” the event is hosted by Jazz Aspen Snowmass and artist Pamela Joseph. In addition, what promises to be a spectacular three-course dinner prepared by L’Hostaria’s Tiziano Gortan will be paired with biodynamic and organic wines (I’ll get there, I promise). And, of course, there will be a silent auction. Art of and from around the world will be available in said silent auction, highlighting artists whose creations reflect the core values and disciplines espoused within the Waldorf principles. Items as diverse as musical instruments from Madagascar to marionettes from Myanmar will be available. In addition, the works of local artists, including sculptor Nancy

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

Ma y 7 - Ma y 13, 2015

Lovendahl, mixed-media artist Sara Ransford and ceramicist Alleghany Meadows, will be on display and available for bid in the auction. The Waldorf Schools have their roots in the early 1900s in Germany. Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian intellectual who was a follower and a proponent of the independent and balanced philosophies established by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a German writer, statesman and philosopher. One of his core beliefs was that education should be independent of government. In 1919, he established the first Waldorf School for the children of the workers of the Waldorf-Astoria cigarette factory in Stuttgart, Germany. Yes, the same WaldorfAstoria company whose name adorns hotels worldwide. An interesting Aspen aside, Walter Paepcke, a founder of the Aspen Institute, the Aspen Skiing Company and the Aspen Music Festival, was also a follower of Goethe. In 1949, he hosted a celebration of the philosopher’s 200th birthday in what is now the Aspen Music Tent. The gathering was one of the most significant in the history of modern-day Aspen. Anyway, in addition to founding the Waldorf school movement (the largest non-denominational, non-sectarian, independent school movement in the world), Steiner is also the father of biodynamic farming which employs a spiritualethical-ecological approach to agriculture, gardens, food

production and nutrition. Biodynamic farming eschews the use of chemicals and calls for a process by which a farm is fully integrated with no outside output. The entire farm or vineyard is a single organism that thrives on the basis of all the elements that are a part of that closed system. As much a philosophy and a way of life as a system, biodynamic farming also integrates closely with the seasons and the turning of the earth. Which brings us to wine. As you likely know, especially if you read this column, there is a biodynamic movement underway in the wine industry. More than 600 wineries worldwide now use some or all of the practices that Steiner first developed and that have been codified by the Demeter Biodynamic Trade Association (DMTA), which certifies biodynamic wineries. And two of those wineries that are members of the DMTA will be in the house for the Waldorf event. A circle closes. Wines from Benziger Family Winery and the Mendocino Wine Company will be poured with the L’Hostaria meal. The Sonoma County-based Benziger, which has close ties to the Roaring Fork Valley, has achieved biodynamic certification on all four of their Estate Vineyards. Their “Tribute” Cabernet is 100 percent biodynamic. Wines from Paul Dolan Vineyards in Mendocino, California, will also be poured. Though Paul Dolan, the founder of the eponymous winery, is no

longer a part of the brand, it is owned by the Mendocino Wine Company, which has DMTA certification as well. This is a unique pairing, not just of wines, but of the philosophies created by an amazing figure who felt that education and farming were part of man’s most valuable endeavors. One of Goethe’s most inspiring philosophical lessons, which surely had an effect on Rudolph Steiner, is “Remember to Live!” It is a lesson that will be on full display at the Carricarte residence next Friday night. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soon-to-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and black lab, Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com

While it is not exclusively from biodynamic plots and vineyards, all of the included grapes were raised in vineyards that are certified sustainable. A hallmark of the Benziger Family Winery. When I was sent this bottle, a small tin of vine clippings and soil was included. It was a great demonstration of how wine is a product of place. Of the earth. The bottle is gone but the tin remains on my desk. As I write, I will often remove the top and take a healthy hit of Sonoma aroma.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE OOPS, MY MISTAKE The April 30, 2015 edition of this column on the Wines of Jefferson Vineyards requires the following corrections: · Fillipo Mazzei’s name was misspelled. · While Fillipo Mazzei did plant vines with Thomas Jefferson creating the first commercial wine company in the Virginia colony, the original planting was something less than the 400 acres stated in the article. · In 1981, Stanley and Shirley Woodward Sr. hired Gabriele Rausse (known as the father of the modern Virginia wine industry) to set up a vineyard on Jefferson Vineyards present-day estate. Vitis Vinifera vines were planted (the same vine variety that Jefferson and Mazzei planted), but less than the 20 acres mentioned in the article. · Petit Verdot was misspelled in the article. My thanks to Attila Woodward, president of Jefferson Vineyards, for her close attention.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

A TALE OF TWO CLOSINGS

OUR TOWN’S TASTE DU JOUR IS BITTERWEET

THE COCKTAIL OF EMOTION was potent upon descending the staircase to Takah Sushi one final time last Wednesday afternoon. First there was nostalgia: I remember sitting at the bar during a first date shortly after I moved to town in 2012, followed by countless sakefueled birthdays, many of which had the good fortune to fall on Takah Tuesday. Then came AMANDA trepidation: We were RAE here to take advantage of the restaurant’s closing by picking selfishly over its wares like vultures. I selected some whimsical ceramic dishes shaped like oversized oyster shells, but the anticipation of using them in my own kitchen was tinged with sorrow in knowing I’d never devour another crispy, creamy Atomic Shrimp here ever again. Add in dashes of envy—two chef friends snagged giant, expertly seasoned woks for mere dollars— and sympathy for former staffers who showed up in support, and the atmosphere swirled into the kind of wistful closure that defines a fire sale. But mostly, it seemed that original owner Casey Coffman and daughter Sasha Sells, who had assumed leadership for the past year, were relieved. After an impressive 34-year run—365 days longer than expected, thanks to a lease loophole last year—the party at Takah was over for good. “I’ll miss the fun times, I’ll miss the social times, I’ll miss having a place in town that’s mine, you know?” Mama Coffman told me. “Annie Denver said to me: ‘There’s an expiration date on everything.’ This is the end. And I’m OK with that. I’m looking forward to a couple more chapters in my life.” Aspenites are accustomed to the times a-changin—but lately the pace feels faster and more heartwrenching than usual.

from downtown as developers gobble up real estate. Two weeks ago, 28-year-old Boogie’s Diner shuttered for good. Before that, Johnny McGuire’s bid us adieu after 24 years with a blowout bash in the parking lot. And Little Annie’s, while set to reopen again this week after an offseason break, might as well be graffitied with the tag, “Any day now….” If there’s a silver lining to all this, it’s that what’s left of these local sanctuaries will likely be absorbed by our community. “I took the stuff that is most soulful to me and my children— the artwork and a few pieces of furniture,” Coffman says. Dishes and cooking accouterments were scooped up by off-duty cooks, restaurateurs, bartenders, and friends who will re-purpose them elsewhere. In a way, a part of Takah Sushi will live on. “It is bittersweet in many, many ways,” Coffman says. “One of my customers said it was like coming to her own living room—the kind of atmosphere I always hoped to generate in the restaurant. Friendly, comfortable, wear whatever you want, come in and have a good time.” Until a few weeks ago, one would find a similar hominess at Finbarr’s Irish Pub. In fact, owners Denis and Kelly O’Donovan took a cue from Takah when they opened their successful locals’ haunt just four years ago. “I’ve known Casey since I moved to Aspen in 2000, after visiting throughout my childhood and college years, and I have a huge amount of respect for what she and Sasha were doing over there,” says first-time restaurateur Kelly O’Donovan. “I had my 40th birthday at Takah, and I wear my Takah hat around town. Many date nights were spent there. Many of our staff worked there as well— Joe, Sammy, Chris, some of our servers. I was sad to see it go. It’s an institution, and we’re all going to

miss it.” The couple didn’t strive to sell Finbarr’s, but with three young boys—including a three- and a four-year-old—an investment group’s out-of-the-blue offer was too tempting to pass up when it returned bigger and better a second time. Like Takah’s string of farewell soirées during Aspen Mountain closing weekend, Finbarr’s final party on April 4 was bittersweet. “We really lucked out,” O’Donovan says. “Many of our employees we closed with were with us the day we opened. The staff became like family.” She had hoped a new eatery would launch quickly and sponge up her devoted staff, but nothing is in place yet. So Finbarr’s former workers have dispersed: Head chef Joe Flamer is exploring another industry. Assistant head chef Killian is at Town in Carbondale. Bar manager Johnny Gaudaitis is scheming a Finbarr’s pop-up, which isn’t implausible in the distant future. “They are what made Finbarr’s so great,” O’Donovan says of her crew.

“I’m curious to see where they all end up in the summer so I can go see them.” Coffman echoes this sentiment. She’ll see Matt Draper, her sushi bar’s master chef for a decade, over at Kenichi. But never again will she welcome longtime customers to the Takah Sushi tradition. “It’s hard to think that you’re not gonna see people again,” Coffman says. “Takah became a place where I did a lot of socializing. Face it: When you work in the evening, you don’t have a lot of time to socialize at other places. I’ve met a lot of people who’ve become really good friends. Some were there the first night we opened—it’s crazy! I’ve had a terrific staff, and a lot of them have moved on in 34 years. The other thing I miss is that everybody in the restaurant is younger than me—it’s FUN to work with young people!” No doubt, Aspen is an increasingly tough place to run a business—especially one that serves food. But the O’Donovans, who had “zero experience” aside from Denis’s stint in banquets and room service at The Little Nell,

LAVENDER LEMONADE Despite the fact it’s offseason, I’ve been feeling a bit anxious lately. I’m not really sure why, but I know I’m a bit on edge and am seeking ways to settle down a bit. And while I am aware that alcohol is not the answer to my problems, I do find a drink soothes the nerves now and again. So imagine my delight when our friends at Woody Creek Distillers sent over their summer drink menu featuring the “Lavender Lemonade.” This is a drink that’s sure to be calming — according to health.com, “research shows the scent lowers heart rate and blood pressure, putting you in a relaxed state.” Ahhhh, I can taste the vibe already. Libations was created by beloved Aspen Times publisher, Gunilla Asher, who died June 2 after a brave battle with cancer. Cheers - to Gunner!

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

Nonprofit workers distribute rice last week in an area of Nepal ravaged by an earthquake on April 25.

OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN NEPAL YOUNG ASPENITES HEAD TO SOUTH ASIA

ASPEN IS KNOWN AS A BUBBLE. They, and even we, say that this town is a fantasy world, a disconnect from reality. We live in a utopia, far from worry and doubt. Even further from crisis and trauma. This is the theory, or perhaps the conclusion, about Aspen. But it is one I always argue adamantly against. Yes, we live in paradise, but there are plenty of BARBARA people here that keep PLATTS themselves connected to the rest of the world. That’s why, when a M7.8 earthquake struck 7,744 miles away from our “bubble” in Nepal on Saturday, April 25, two Aspenites were not only devastated by the news, they saw it as a call to action. Benjamin Cumbie and Sean Robison, both 26-year-old bartenders at Justice Snow’s, woke that morning to the news and immediately asked what they could do to help. Both of them, and their other coworker Ashley Devon, met to discuss and within several hours Cumbie and Robison had booked their flights to Kathmandu. “It didn’t take long. It didn’t take any convincing,” Robison said about the travel decision. Now, roughly 10 days after the earthquake, these longtime friends from Florida are heading to help bring aid to rural villages in the

Lalitpur District of Nepal, south of Kathmandu, that have yet to receive much aid. They are going with Solve Nepal, a nonprofit that has worked for positive developmental change in the country for more than 20 years. Cumbie and Robison’s friend and fellow Aspen local Katie Cassetta connected them with Solve Nepal through her friend Prakash Ojha, one of the organization’s board members. She met him in 2008 when she was over in Nepal volunteering at an orphanage for a month. She was only 18 years old at the time and was shocked by the hardship she saw all around her. “It was life-changing for me,” Cassetta said. “Being in a structurally poor country was a big change. I had never seen anything or any place in such poor condition before.” Seven years and one natural disaster later, many of the areas Cassetta spent her time in are worse off than ever before, particularly when it comes to shelter. Residents of these villages are living outside because the aftershocks of the earthquake are still affecting the structural integrity of buildings. Because of this, Ojha is having Cumbie and Robison bring tents and other kinds of material to make shelters. Even if these shelters are temporary, monsoon season is coming and Nepalese people need all the relief they can get. Cumbie and Robison are no

strangers to relief efforts. Both grew up in Florida and helped with efforts to rebuild in areas that got hit badly. They also have helped out in Third World countries like Haiti. “We are familiar with what needs to be done and we are lucky enough to be able to have these connections where, instead of just being another body, we have a specific cause,” Cumbie said. They are also no strangers to Nepal. Even though they’ve never actually been on the country’s soil, they have been researching the culture for more than four years and are planning to create a documentary about the music and culture of the country. “The country is very untouched. It’s such a pure, raw culture that we were drawn to and have been studying for years,” Cumbie said. They were planning on traveling to the country later in the year to start filming, but once the earthquake hit they postponed the plan so they could go and help. By the time this article is published, Cumbie and Robison will be halfway to Kathmandu. Their Justice Snow’s crew will be helping to get donated gear and supplies to them. Any monetary donations made on their website will go straight to the victims. The boys are eager to get there, but very nervous for what they are about to experience. “There is no way to prepare for

what you are mentally about to see,” Robison said. “It’s definitely going to change us.” Talk about getting out of your comfort zone … and out of the supposed “Aspen Bubble.” For more information on this fundraising mission, please go to www.rally.org and search for “our brothers and sisters in Nepal” or head into Justice Snow’s and talk to Ashley or Patrick about how to get involved with this worthy cause.

Barbara Platts has never traveled to Nepal, but Cumbie and Robison’s dedication to the cause has really sparked her interest. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

SNOWMASS WELCOMES A BIG BURN, EPIC MUSIC AND A WHOLE ‘LOT TA MUDD by KELLY J. HAYES

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Mammoth Fest, Snowmass Rodeo, Mudderella and Heritage Fire .

As the spring sun begins to melt the snow atop Sam’s Knob, attention is rapidly turning to what is certainly THE MOST INSANELY PACKED SCHEDULE OF SUMMER EVENTS EVER SEEN IN SNOWMASS VILLAGE. Beginning with the Ragnar Relay Trail Run the first weekend in June and continuing on and on and on until the final weekend in September, when the Golden Leaf Half Marathon fittingly brings the season to a close, Snowmass will offer not just something, but a plethora of somethings for just about everyone. “We really feel that this summer could be a tipping point for Snowmass in creating a new normal,” said Rose Abello, who was appointed by the Town of Snowmass Village as Director of Tourism

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

Ma y 7 - Ma y 13, 2015

this past September. “We’ve brought in events that will not only allow guests to give Snowmass a trial run, but will also give locals in the valley affordable and, in many cases, free events to attend.” While longtime summer stalwarts, like the weekly Snowmass Rodeo, the Snowmass Balloon Festival, and JAS Aspen Snowmass remain, Snowmassive, as the town bills it, is not your Daddy’s Snowmass Summer. No, the selection of events has blossomed to include world-class culinary events, mind, body and spirit celebrations, and a host of music and participatory adventures. For perhaps the fist time, the true beauty of Snowmass and its outstanding summer entertainment options will rival, and in many ways surpass, those of its famed upvalley neighbor and sibling, Aspen.

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF FESTIVALS While the events this summer are designed to show people a good time there is a strategic business purpose in bringing each of them to the resort. “Ultimately, we want to fill the beds and the restaurants and

bring people to Snowmass,” said first-term Mayor, Markey Butler, when asked about the goals of Snowmassive Summer. The Town of Snowmass Village’s budget is built from proceeds generated by sales and lodging taxes, both of which increase as guests come to Snowmass. Over the last few years the Town Council, in conjunction with input from the nine-member advisory Marketing, Special Events & Group Sales Board, has focused on expanding business in what was formerly a fairly fallow season for a resort built on skiing. Four years ago, Fred Brodsky, who had extensive experience in the events industry in Las Vegas, was hired as Group Sales

PHOTOS COURTESY COCHON 555; COURTESY PHOTO (CENTER)

Director. Brodsky immediately saw the value that existing events created for summer tourism and seized the opportunity to expand the lineup with new festivals and events. “Instead of trying to create new events that could be financially risky and potentially ineffective, we

really try to do our homework and seek out a diverse set of top event producers to bring their successful events here or to partner with them to create new ones,” he said. The result is that producers like New York’s Tough Mudder and Atlanta’s Taste Network (Grand Cochon and Heritage Fire), which put on megasuccessful happenings around the country, have bought into Snowmass as a perfect venue for their events. And they were able to work with the town and get approvals quickly. “Generally when it comes to special events, dealing with municipal government can be very difficult,” said Brodsky, “However the Town of Snowmass Village has created a

business friendly environment making permitting and planning a very smooth process. In short, we want to make it easy for people to do business with us.” “It truly takes a village to put on productions of this size and scope,” Abello reiterated. “From police, to public works, transportation to marketing, we need the support and work with all of the town entities, as well as partners like Skico, the lodges and merchants to make sure these events are successful for our businesses, our guests and our residents.” In 2014, sales tax revenues in Snowmass jumped 17.9 percent from the previous summer with an astounding 36.9 percent increase in September when Tough Mudder brought 10,000 visitors to the Village. “These kinds of events allow us to look at department spends versus generated revenues and make informed decisions on how to delegate our funds,” said Butler. “Also, we were so pleased that Aspen is able to benefit from the ‘Snowmass overflow,’” she joked. And it is not just the summer that gets a boost from the festival lineup. “We are building great databases from our summer visitors that we can use to market our winter

experiences as well,” said Abello. Many of the scheduled events like Wanderlust, Ragnar and the Mammoth Fest are directed toward what the tourism industry refers to as “FITs” or Frequent Individual Travelers, the majority of whom are young and athletic. “We feel that if they come to Snowmass and give us a trial in the summer, they are great targets to market to for winter travel, especially with some early season specials.”

THE SNOWMASSIVE EVENTS The fact is there’s so much going on this summer in Snowmass that it would be nearly impossible to do it all. “We’ll see ya’ next winter,” laughed Abello and Brodsky when I asked them how they were going to get through the schedule. There are major events back-to-back and Snowmassians will be saying goodbye to newly made friends from one event on a Sunday night and getting up on Monday morning to begin loading for the next event. That said, on the following pages you’ll find a rundown of a few of the events that one man, this man, is most looking forward to in this Snowmassive Summer.

THE BIG BURN In what has to be the most significant relocation in recent Aspen-Snowmass history, GRAND COCHON will move its porcine cooking competition and celebration of all things pig from the historic Hotel Jerome to the hip Viceroy Snowmass. It’s a little like a summer version of X Games packing its halfpipe and migrating to Elk Camp. A game changer. Grand Cochon is the season finale of a nationwide cooking competition that features chefs preparing dishes using heirloom breed hogs. Ten chefs in 10 cities are each given one whole hog, which they must cook from head-to-tail. The winners of each of those competitions will convene at the Viceroy on Saturday, June 20, to compete for the title of “King or Queen of Porc” at Grand Cochon. Not only that, but Brady Lowe, the guru behind Grand Cochon, is also bringing a carnivore’s dream event to the Base Village Mall when he debuts HERITAGE FIRE SNOWMASS on Friday, June 19. “This is the best culinary event I’ve ever attended,” says Fred Brodsky, “and I’ve been to a lot of them.” Brodsky is referring to the Heritage Fire event that has been Napa Valley’s cult, premier culinary event for more than six years and is making its way to Colorado for the first time. Forty-plus notable chefs from Colorado, working alongside top chefs from around the country, will be cooking 3,000 pounds of heritage breed animals over outdoor bonfires at the Snowmass Base Village in celebration of pasture diversity and family farming. The list of

heritage and heirloom foods to be featured include dry-aged beef, large-format fish, whole pigs, lambs, goat, lobster, squab, rabbit, duck, chicken, artisan cheese, oysters and heirloom vegetables. Both of these events are allinclusive and feature samples of the finest wines, bourbons, and food delicacies too be found on the planet. Cochon has become a premier food event and an outrageous party. Tickets can be purchased at cochon555. com. Aspen/Snowmass locals may receive a discount of $15 by purchasing tickets at stayaspensnowmass.com.

presented by WANDERLUST, and a Taj Mahal and the Phantom Blues Band show, which will be an AREDAY presentation. What was once simply a spicy Chili Fest has morphed into a great “let’s-get-it-going” summer opening event. The SNOWMASS MAMMOTH FEST is now all about chili (International Chili Festival world champions have come out of this event), craft beer (25 microbrews will be poured) and music. Former JAS performers Tedeschi-Trucks Band and Donavan Frankenreiter are among those who will take the stage at the festival-like tribal gathering June 12-14. Good vibes and great chili.

LET’S GET PHYSICAL The beauty of Snowmass is, well, the beauty. And that is as true in the summer as it is in the winter. The mother of all outdoor events is the TOUGH MUDDER team adventure challenge series. A cult of more than 1.3 million participants world wide have subjected themselves to obstacles and discomfort over a 10-12 mile course in an effort to ... actually, I’m not really sure why. It must be some sort of rite of passage. Last year TM brought 10,000 people to Snowmass and, according to an interview with Bill Tomcich, president of Stay Aspen in The Aspen Times, the event was “clearly responsible

for what turned out to be one of the busiest weekends of the entire summer for AspenSnowmass.” New this year are freshly designed outrageous obstacles, including “Fire in your Hole,” “Birth Canal” and the “Human Hamster Wheel.” You can find out just what those are Sept. 12-13. Also, new this year is a kinder, gentler version of this agro-event called MUDDERELLA, which is designed by women, for women. Twelve to 15 obstacles over a 5-7 mile course will be laid out for the ladies on Aug. 22. Keep it clean. And now for something completely different, the COLORADO WANDERLUST FESTIVAL returns for a second summer appearance. The polar opposite of the Mudder mentality, Wanderlust is a celebration of all things harmonious and spiritual. Built on a platform of downward dog, this yoga-inspired fest brings music, group hikes, farm to table dinners and a collection of the world’s most esteemed yogis to the mountains. All this and Moby. What a wonderful way to celebrate on Independence Day.

first time this, Scot-centric event moves from the big city (Denver, not Glasgow) to the Highlands (Snowmass, not the Cuillin) for three days of piping and drumming, caber tossing and, of course, drinking. That’s what the Scots do. A highlight will be a free Friday concert with the band Swagger. Oh, and this is a dog-friendly gathering, too. I’ve seen a lot of things in this Valley, but never a circus. ZOPPÉ ITALIAN FAMILY CIRCUS will be setting up its 500-seat tent in the Base Village Aug. 28-30 for a series of performances that have had audiences cheering since 1842. Nino the clown leads the acrobats and animals in a story that gives them a platform for entertainment. The ultimate family event, we’ll see you under the Big Top.

It would be foolish not give a nod to the staples of Snowmass summers for so many years. This year marks the 42nd summer that the SNOWMASS RODEO has put on its chaps and saddled up. Each Wednesday, some of the top cowboys and cowgirls gather in the Rodeo grounds to race, rope and ride. It’s the same as it ever was, only better. Families get there early for a chuckwagon BBQ, and rain or shine the show goes on. Also this September, the SNOWMASS BALLOON FESTIVAL drops the ropes on its 39th year. The signature summer sight in Snowmass may well be the morning images of the balloons as they take flight against the back-drop of the early turning Aspen trees and the snow kissed summit. This year, the weekend will also include the Snowmass Wine Festival and a Classic Car Show that will celebrate America’s best from 1965 to 1995.

SOMETHING A WEE BIT DIFFERENT Men in Kilts. The Jimi Hendrix of Bagpipers. Intrigued? So am I. These are just two of the sights to see at the 52nd annual COLORADO SCOTTISH FESTIVAL AND ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGHLAND GAMES on Aug. 1-2. For the

FEAR AND COOTIES IN ESTES PARK A SPOOKY WEEKEND AT THE STANLEY FILM FESTIVAL

HOW DOES A WRITER raised on Freddy Krueger and “Friday the 13th,” whose capacity for cinematic spooking has been dulled by decades of on-screen monsters and murderers, get his fear back? One idea: go to the haunted Estes Park hotel that inspired “The Shining” and spend a weekend watching a slate of the world’s best new horror movies, all while camping alone in a mostly deserted Rocky Mountain National Park. That was my mission going into the Stanley Film Festival, now in its third year at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. The massive Colonial Revival-style hotel on a hill above town is where Stephen King got freaked out during a night in room 217 in 1973 — the experience that inspired “The Shining.” (The Kubrick film adaptation used a hotel in Oregon and a set in Britain to recreate it, but didn’t film there; King’s 1997 miniseries did.) This year’s festival included four days of films spanning the spectrum of horror with screenings in the (allegedly very haunted) concert hall on the hotel grounds, at a nearby modern multiplex and at a shabby old downtown gem, the Historic Park Theatre (allegedly even more haunted than the Stanley). In a misty rain that lasted aptly through the festival, I spent my days and nights hopping from screening to screening. After the midnight movies, I made my way back into the silent park, still unmanned for the winter season, and crawled into my tent. Unfortunately, I left without a backwoods haunting to report. But I did see some fantastic new movies at a festival that is tapping into the ascendance of indie horror and bringing its leading practitioners to remote Colorado (100-some filmmakers were in attendance). “This festival is really special to me,” says Rodney Ascher, director of “Room 237,” a 2013 documentary about people obsessed with “The

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

Shining” and their elaborate theories behind its meaning. “Anything related to the Stanley Hotel has ways of distorting and weakening the walls that typically separate reality and imagination. That’s been my experience.” Ascher’s genuinely terrifying new documentary, “The Nightmare,” was among the stand-outs from the weekend. It explores the phenomenon of sleep paralysis – a sort of waking nightmare — by interviewing eight people who’ve experienced extreme forms of it, with strikingly similar visions. Far more visually dynamic than the talking heads and film collages of “Room 237,” it includes freaky live action re-enactments of the subjects’ dreams. As Ascher – who had a sleep paralysis experience 20 years ago – started researching the project,

he found a sprawling worldwide community of people trying to learn more about what was happening to them in their sleep. “If you ever found a comment or a blog about the topic there would be 100 people replying and saying, ‘Oh my God, this happened to me. I thought I was the only one,’” he says. “It was clear what kind of underreported phenomenon this is.” While “The Nightmare” mined reality for horror, on the other end of the spectrum, “Cooties” is a throwback bloody comedy – bringing together the creators of “Saw” and “Glee” in an unlikely pairing — that doesn’t take itself seriously, delivering gore and laughs in equal doses. It’s one of those rare horror-comedy hybrids – in the “Evil Dead 2” tradition – that successfully hits both extremes throughout.

CLOCKWISE FROM RIGHT: The horror-comedy “Cooties” screened at the Stanley Film Festival and is slated for a September release; “The Nightmare,” a documentary by Rodney Ascher about sleep paralysis, was among the horror films screened at the Stanley Film Festival; A pet cemetary that’s been the final resting place for guest pets at the Stanley Hotel since 1909 is being uprooted to make way for a wedding pavillion.

Infected with cooties by diseased chicken nuggets, elementary school kids turn into murderous zombies in the film. Their teachers – who include Elijah Wood as a wannabe novelist and substitute, Alison Pill as his high school crush, and Rainn Wilson as her deliciously over-the-top jock gym teacher boyfriend – do vicious battle with them. It’s ridiculous gory fun with a ridiculously good cast that’s clearly having a blast together — supporting players include

Hugo from “Lost” freaking out on mushrooms in the school parking lot and Kenneth from “30 Rock” wrestling with his sexuality (and zombie children). “How is there not a movie from the ‘70s and ‘80s called ‘Cooties,’ out of all the exploitation movies?” says Wood, whose SpectreVision production company made the film. “We looked it up. Believe me.” “Cooties,” which is scheduled for a September theatrical release, was among 20 new films in the

Stanley lineup, alongside 27 shorts and several retrospectives (including a new print of the cult classic “Re-Animator,” with director Stuart Gordon on hand). Off-screen, the festival boasts an immersive horror game, a virtual reality experience, panels and live events like a live radio play edition of Larry Fessenden’s “Tales from Beyond the Pale.” A road trip to the Stanley Hotel – and a guided tour — should already be on the bucket list of any Coloradan. I’d add a weekend

at the Stanley Film Fest as a must for anybody who appreciates scary cinema. The scariest thing I saw offscreen at the festival: A pet cemetery on the Stanley grounds that’s been there since the hotel opened in 1909 is currently being torn up to make way for a new wedding pavilion – a really bad idea that I hope inspired one of the filmmakers on-hand. atravers@aspentimes.com

BOOK REVIEW

‘NEITHER MOUNTAIN NOR RIVER:

NOTEWORTHY

FATHERS, SONS, AND AN UNSETTLED FAITH’ AT AGE 13, Mike Freeman vowed to be a trapper for life. When life takes him out of the outdoors, and into an urban existence, he looks to his time in the wilderness for guidance. In the memoir “Neither Mountain Nor River,” Freeman reflects from midlife, looking for meaning in the time he spent as a child with his father in the outdoors, learning to trap, fish, hunt and identify birds. Those touchstone experiences provide lessons about how spending time with nature forms bonds between family, between father and son, man and nature, man and God. The way he explores questions of faith are approachable for believers and non-believers alike.

‘Neither Mountain Nor River’ by Mike Freeman 224 pages, softcover; $16 Riddle Brook Publishing, 2014

As an adult, Freeman spent a decade counting fish in Alaska for the state’s Fish and Game department. Local readers will recognize Freeman as the kind of character you meet a lot in Colorado — passionate about the outdoors and sort of all-knowing about wildlife, but still retaining his capacity for awe. This memoir examines what that guy brings along with him when he grows and up enters the “real world.” A wife and new child pull Freeman into an urban life in Queens, then Rhode Island. Life as a stay-at-home dad brings some new and unexpected challenges, but he holds onto his love for nature and its wisdom. A sense of childlike wonder

permeates the book, as Freeman recalls how his father passed down how to tie a fly or set a trap. He clearly adores his dad, and did as a kid, but “Neither Mountain Nor River” doesn’t get bogged down in paternal wisdom or mythmaking. In lush and lyrical prose, it gorgeously re-creates silent days in the woods chasing muskrats and a menagerie of creatures with dad, while parsing those experiences their philosophical lessons. Those simple acts, as Freeman illustrates in this simple book, can forge a way of navigating life in all its complexity.
