THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

by ANDREW TRAVERS

PARTIES NEW YEAR’S EVE finds

Aspen at its Champagnepopping finest.

There’s a prix fixe in just about every restaurant, an all-inclusive party in every bar and night club, a handful of premier concerts and place for everybody.

Of course, the one thing (well, two things) that bring us all together on Aspen’s biggest night of the year is fireworks. The annual show goes off twice over Aspen Mountain: at 8 p.m. and at midnight. It’s the only true can’t-miss event of the night.

As for the rest of your evening ringing in 2017, options abound. They range in price from the city’s free bonfire gathering in Wagner Park between the two fireworks shows to a $10,000 snowcat ride up Aspen Mountain at the Little Nell’s new “Cliquot Cats” event. Chromeo is playing a sold-out show at Belly Up and the Doo Wop Project is headlining the Wheeler. There are all-inclusive parties at the Limelight, the Sky Hotel, and open bar events at Escobar and Bootsy Bellows and the Grey Lady, the Dom Perignon party at the Little Nell and just about any place with a tap (if you’re looking to party philanthropically, Aspen Film is also hosting a casino-themed fundraiser at the St. Regis).

Basically, you can throw a snowball in any direction and you’ll hit a throw-down that’s putting 2016 behind us in sytle. Happy New Year.

Aspen celebrates the New Year with fireworks over Aspen Mountain at 8 p.m. and midnight.

CURRENTEVENTS MAGIC

Lisa Fischer headlines the JAS Cafe for four shows on Dec. 29 and 30.

Magician Adam Trent will perform two shows at the Wheeler Opera House on Dec. 29.

ADAM TRENT, the star of Broadway’s “The Illusionists,” brings his interactive magic show, concert and stand-up comedy act to the Wheeler Opera House for a familyfriendly show on Thursday, Dec. 29, for two shows at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.

Tickets range from $32 to $42, available at the Wheeler box office and www.aspenshowtix.com.

POPULAR MUSIC LISA FISCHER’S name may not be instantly recognizable, but her voice certainly is. The longtime Rolling Stones background singer — the voice on concert performances of “Gimme Shelter” dueting with Mick Jagger — who stepped out of the shadows in the Oscar-winning documentary “Twenty Feet From Stardom,” is bringing her solo show to the JAS Cafe at the Aspen Cooking School for four concerts Dec. 29 and 30.

Tickets available at www.jazzaspensnowmass.org. Pick up The Aspen Times on Dec. 29 to read an interview with Fischer.

CHEERS TO A NEW YEAR

1951 ASPEN

ON JAN. 4, 1951, The Aspen Times recounted a few of the New Year’s Eve parties around Aspen. The paper noted that “guests arrived in costume at Walter Paepcke’s party New Year’s Eve. Mr. Paepcke posed as a Chinese Communist, and his daughters, Nina Woods and Paula Pargellis, dressed as 1925 flappers. Toni Paepcke wore a tight fitting black lace costume. Mrs. Paul Nitze was the Red Queen from ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ Mrs. Paepcke was Queen of the Night complete with crown, Allen Pargellis was a convincing Indian dancer, Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Benedict arrived dressed in Victorian costume — Fritz wore a daring green waistcoat, lace jabot, and mustache from a horse’s tail. At the Hotel Jerome, a few were in a ‘come as you wish you were’ costume at the New Year’s Eve dinner dancing party. The annual ‘Green Cup’ party was held at the Four Seasons last Saturday night. The passing of the Green Cup is mixed in with song singing and kissing your neighbor and everyone has a hilarious time.”

GEAR of the WEEK

by LAUREN GLENDENNING

WEAR IT: CHURCH AND STATE OPTICS JADED SKI GOGGLES

GET IT Church and State Optics, started in Vail, offers a wide variety of men’s and women’s ski goggles, sunglasses and ski belts. Visit churchandstateoptics.com to shop.

ON AN OVERCAST SKI DAY

when the light is flat, there’s nothing more satisfying — besides fresh powder, of course — than a pair of Colorado-designed goggles that can handle the conditions.

Made in Italy but designed and tested in Vail, Church and State Optics has plenty of styles for all kinds of weather. But it’s the “Jaded” style — with a multi-layered yellow base lens with citrus-purple ombre finish — that crushed a recent powder day on Aspen Mountain and turned this snowboarder into a Church and State believer.

After 19 inches of snow fell in 24 hours earlier this month, the storm hadn’t moved out by the time the gondola started rolling. At the top of the mountain, the fog set in and wind and snow made things difficult to see — but the Jaded goggles saved the day.

Fussing around with goggles is a time-suck on a powder day, so finding a low-maintenance pair that

enhances flat-light sight is critical — especially because Coloradans are so used to sunshine.

Church and State Optics founder Kate Wingard created the brand as an extension of her loves for style, culture integrity and the outdoors, she says.

“Surprisingly awesome, it’s become a bit of a cult following,” she says. “I get shout-outs from customers who are buying their fourth or fifth pair! It’s always a proud moment to see others enjoying the vision I have worked so hard to bring to life.”

The jade green ski goggle frame comes with a translucent, gloss finish and a gold metallic Lurex strap.

The two high-definition lenses available include all-around rose or low-light citrus ombre, which tested amazingly well during a storm.

The retail price on the Jaded ski goggles is $149, but they’re currently on sale for $50 at www. churchandstateoptics.com.

WINEINK

WINEINK WINE OF THE YEAR: VENISSA “I BELIEVE that what my father did was a very courageous thing,” said Matteo Bisol, director of the Venissa Wine Resort, of Gianluca Bisol, as we sat on a patio this past summer gazing at a vineyard on a stunning Venetian Island.

Normally, “courage” is not the first word that comes to mind when you think of a winemaker. But if you KELLY J. consider the vision, HAYES the investment of time and money, and the passion that was required to create the rare and amazing wine that is Venissa, courage may be the perfect word to sum it up.

So it is for the courage that he has exhibited to achieve his dream that this column recognizes Gianluca Bisol and Venissa as the WineInk 2016 Wine of the Year.

THE WINE

You likely have never tasted Venissa. It is made from an obscure Italian grape, called Dorona, that flourished in vineyards in the Venetian Lagoons for over 1,000 years, but is now nearly gone. Fewer than 4,000 375-liter bottles are produced annually and, to date, none have been sold in America.

The grapes are hand harvested from an island vineyard and shipped to Roberto Cipresso’s Winecircus in Montalcino, where they are hand selected and the wines are made using techniques generally considered more applicable to red wines.

The wines macerate on the skin of the grapes, giving it a color reminiscent of the summer sun.

They are then aged in-bottle for two years before release.

When poured, the golden color in the glass is stunning.

On the nose, there are subtle but solid hints of the herbaceous qualities of the vineyard. And in the mouth, a certain taste of the sea is evident, an almost, but not quite, salty element is at play along with a taste of the flinty stones of the vineyard. Venissa defies

12

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

F

convention and provides a totally unique wine experience.

In January, Wilson Daniels, a St. Helena, California, import and distribution company, will begin to import Venissa to America.

Seek it out.

THE DISCOVERY

I met Gianluca Bisol at this year’s Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, where he was pouring Prosecco from his eponymous wine company in the prestigious Valdobbiadene region. He was a regal figure, dressed in an impeccably cut Italian summer suit and leather shoes, and sporting a perfectly trimmed mustache.

A consummate educator and host, he was explaining in vivid detail, gesturing with his hands for emphasis, the origins of the sparkling wines that I was falling in love with with each sip.

Behind him on a table, what appeared to be a hand-made glass bottle with a gold leaf label kept drawing my eye. Ginaluca knew that my attention had been stolen and he smiled. “This is something very special,” he said and then, with obvious emotion, proceeded to explain his quest to make the wine in that exquisite bottle.

Once upon a time, he explained, the islands that make up the city of Venice were major producers of wine from a number of regional grapes. In the 1100s, Venetian historians maintain that what is now the fabled Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark’s Square, was the site of gardens and a vineyard. It was from there that the residents satisfied their need for wine.

But as times changed and the commerce came to be about trade, craftsmanship, and eventually tourism, the vineyards began to disappear from the islands. In 1966 following the devastating floods, grape production was almost totally abandoned. Dorona, one of the indigenous grapes, was forgotten and nearly disappeared.

One day Gianluca stumbled upon some vines that hosted the few remaining Dorona grapes. He became obsessed. A plan, a vision,

D e c e m b e r 29 - Janu ar y 4, 20 17

The Dorona grapes bask in the sunshine.

perhaps even a calling, was born and he set about attempting to replant and produce wines from this forgotten grape.

THE PROJECT

Gianluca’s passion has evolved and today he has created not just a wine, but a luxury brand around the grape and Venissa. On an island called Mazzorbo, in the same Venetian Lagoons where vineyards were once so prevalent, Gianluca has transformed ancient buildings into a luxury hotel and established a Michelin-starred restaurant, all set in a walled vineyard surrounded by the sea.

Gianluca’s quest for the resurrection of the Dorona grape has become much more than simply a wine. It has evolved to become a place of passion, where history, wine and food all merge in a soulful destination that celebrates the region and the best things in life.

Venissa is a creation of a man with the courage of conviction.

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

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2012 VENISSA DORONA-VENETO The experience of a bottle of Venissa is about more than just the liquid inside.

Each of the bottles is a piece of art in and of itself; 3,911 bottles are individually numbered and handfinished. A label of gold leaf is placed on the bottles that are then re-fired by craftsmen in the Giovanni Moretti glassworks in Murano. The bottles are a detail, but also a significant element of the total experience that make Gianluca Bisol’s monumental project so inspiring.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

THE NEXT EPISODE FOOD TO RING IN A NEW YEAR

GATHERED AROUND the Christmas dinner table, my family peered at me intently as I regaled them with a story of a recent kitchen experiment. It wasn’t much of a story, though, since the “wine in a blender” trick is as complex as it sounds: Dump a bottle of cheap(ish) wine into a Vitamix, blitz on the fastest setting for 30 seconds, AMANDA RAE and then, when froth subsides, enjoy a smooth, mellowed quaff absent of harsh, tannic qualities. It’s called “hyperdecanting,” a speedy shortcut for impatient imbibers.

“Well, you’d only do that with a young, inexpensive bottle,” my uncle said. We were sipping a 1998 vintage plucked from his impressive cellar, perhaps acquired on a tour of France long ago. I held back from adding that a few pulses would likely benefit any wine, regardless of age (lifehacking granddaddy Tim Ferriss notes in the “The Four Hour Chef ” that 30 seconds on frappé equates to three hours in a decanter) but I stopped myself.

Even Nathan Myhrvold, French chef and author of the “Modernist Cuisine” encyclopedia — the man credited with this radical idea — told Ferriss that he tried the technique on wine gifted to him from Spanish royalty.

While visiting my other aunt and uncle and cousins in Denver over Thanksgiving — all of them perennial athletes in the Mile High Turkey Trot — I was happy to learn that my health-conscious cousin Brian was on a trendy liquid kick: Golden milk, also called turmeric tea. This caffeinefree beverage is a slow-cooked combination of almond milk, coconut oil, honey, ginger, black pepper, and turmeric — the latter spice imbuing the elixir with its trademark yellow-gold color.

Revered by Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, turmeric’s anti-

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

F

inflammatory properties have driven its popularity in America, where turmeric “vitality shots” are sold at a pretty penny in exchange for promising to soothe achy joints, brighten sallow skin, and boost digestion and immunity.

I hadn’t made the earthy, spicy drink for a while, so I was thankful for the reintroduction — it’s a soothing, pre-bedtime beverage on cold winter nights after thrashing knees and hips all day on the mountain.

Recently the National Restaurant Association (NRA) unveiled its list of top trends predictions for 2017, based on data submitted by 1,300 professional chefs. While most of them seem fairly obvious and uninspired — see “#5: Sustainable seafood” and #9: Heirloom fruits and vegetables” — it’s exciting to learn that ethnic foods, and African flavors, especially, are gaining popularity.

So, in the same spirit of innovation and exploration, here’s more to anticipate in the coming year: BARBECUE…AND MORE BARBECUE!

As if news of the new Home Team BBQ, which opened in the Inn at Aspen earlier this month under the leadership of Cache Cache executive chef Chris Lanter (his former roommate at the University of Georgia, Aaron Siegel, started the independent chain in Charleston, S.C., currently home to three other locations), wasn’t enough to tempt meat-candy enthusiasts, Slow Groovin’ BBQ announced its wintertime expansion to Snowmass Village.

The outpost, located in the space most recently occupied by Turk’s (Mountain Dragon before that), is slated to open on Wednesday, Dec. 28.

Now fans of slow-roasted meats (pulled pork, dry-rubbed chicken, smoked turkey, and beef brisket at Home Team; St. Louis

D e c e m b e r 29 - Janu ar y 4, 20 17

ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken, sausage, salmon, and turkey smoked on hickory and fruit wood at Slow Groovin’), small-batch sauces made inhouse, and sassy sides (fried okra, anyone?) have double the options to explore in the New Year. All hail our local pitmasters!

ASIAN FLAVORS

Chef Vinnie and wife, Xuan, owners of Bamboo Bear in the old Johnny McGuire’s spot across from City Market, have been toiling away for months now, and word is spreading at long last. Portions are huge, and the couple’s family recipe pho broth is on point. The grilled pork bánh mì and massive rice noodle salad are favorites — but be sure to check the specials board offering creative spins on traditional dishes. A favorite spread — the Korean Bulgogi BBQ beef platter with broken rice, kimchi, marinated bean sprouts, and large leaves of Bibb lettuce for wrapping it all together into little handheld torpedos of savory goodness — is enough to share with a friend or save for a second meal.

Further afield, on the shadowy backside of Snowmass Base Village, is the new Sake restaurant, promising Pan Asian cuisine and

sushi. I know what you’re thinking: This is at least the fourth Asian concept to inhabit the space within view of the Elk Camp Gondola, around the corner and a stone’s throw from Slice pizzeria. But it seems as if each iteration has brought modest improvement — I bartended at the bootstrap operation called Burger Bar + Fish circa 2012 to 2013, so I feel comfortable making that judgment.

Considering this new eatery’s expanded booth seating and simple menu of craveable fare—duck wings, pork ramen, yakisoba noodles, Mongolian beef, Szechuan shrimp — Sake might stick…as long as a solid management and marketing team guides it.

POP-UPS

Notoriously starved for ethnic fare and street food — two top 2017 trends according to the National Restaurant Association — Aspenites often must travel to Denver to get a fix. Though there’s no indication that mobile food trucks will roll into town anytime soon, a few venues are entertaining foreign flavors through special, one-night-only events. The Little Nell’s Guest Chef Dinner Series continues this winter: Brazilian chef Thomas Troisgros on Jan. 28;

by AMANDA RAE

Peruvian chef Jaime Pesaque on Feb. 9; and, for the second year, Swedish chef Håkan Thörnström on March 23. Tickets are in short supply.

New this year: the Cooking School of Aspen has launched a new series, Plated, featuring six to 10 courses prepared by a visiting chef. The venue promises to “[tear] down the barriers between the backstage of the kitchen and the performances of plating and service.” Be on the lookout for a meal by Chicago chef Philip Foss’s Michelin-starred EL Ideas in February, as well as ongoing classes exploring Cajun/Creole, Spanish, and Indian cookery.

LOCAL ARTICHOKES?

I heard through the grapevine that these green thistles sprout from a planter near or on City Hall grounds. Though certainly buried in snow right now, Aspen artichokes — or simply the rumor of them growing in town — are worth uncovering come spring.

Stay tuned….

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

THE CLEAN SLATE When it comes to New Year’s, I tend to avoid making resolutions. A few year’s back, though, I recall saying something to the effect of starting the year “with a clean slate.” Now I’m not 100 percent sure what my intention was, but I am 100 percent sure I did not meet all my goals (who ever does?). I also recall a cocktail earning accolades around the same time with a fitting name: The Clean Slate. Created by Las Vegas bartender Cody Fredrickson back in 2013, this drink is a nice balance of flavors that begins with Ciroc amaretto vodka — a cherry-almond infusion that has a hint of vanilla. In The Clean Slate, Fredrickson paired that with elderflower (one of my all-time favorites) and cherry liqueurs as well as a housemade apple-cinnamon syrup. Topped with some bubbyly and bligned up with a golden sugar rim, it screams New Year’s Eve — and good intentions for the year ahead.

Add 2 cinnamon sticks and stir for 10 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups of sugar and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes. Drain and double strain the syrup. You can also blend the apples and cinnamon sticks for a sweetened apple cinnamon puree to use in other cocktails.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

ASPENWORLD

COME JOIN US IN PARADISE FOR THE HOLIDAYS The day always begins the same.

The sun rises in the east, cresting over the highest peaks on Independence Pass to welcome in the morning. It’s wintertime.

The guests are here and they’re looking to spend exorbitant amounts of money.

As the hosts, we are eager to oblige. After all, that’s how we’re programmed. That’s what we’re here for.

BARBARA The guests, PLATTS also known as the newcomers, want a certain illusion, an exact fantasy.

And, when they come here, that is what they get, because they’re willing to shell out the cash for it.

They pay the toll and are granted access to Aspenworld.

To enter, they have a range of transportation choices, from private jet to personalized vehicle.

Some even come in on those airport shuttles. Those are so popular right now. There’s only one way in and one way out, making sure we (the hosts) stay put, and the guests arrive in a regimented manner. Once the well-heeled visitors get here, they’re decked out in the appropriate garments, which include extravagant furs, overpriced jewels, the latest ski gear and enough upscale drugs to

G R A P H I C B Y M AT T F E R R O

intoxicate a herd of elephants. We outfit them for the ideal “mountain town lux” experience; where the haves come to revel in their riches.

Each of the narratives offered in Aspenworld have been created with the customer in mind. It’s a “choose your own adventure” type experience, and we are the escorts. We give them the winter wonderland they’ve been waiting for, filled with well-known celebrities, overpriced meals, lavish retail shops and world-class skiing they can enjoy all day. They choose what they want to do and, no matter the cost, we acquiesce.

They don’t have consequences. This is all a game for them, and we are here to help them win, even if we don’t always see it that way. Even if, sometimes, it means we lose.

We provide an illusion of elegance for the newcomers.

There are the stories meant for the adventurous types. Those range from ski lessons on the mountain to backcountry trips, for those who really want to test their mettle. If a guest isn’t into the on-mountain terrain, there are plenty of outings in town for them to enjoy, from exercise classes (new for this holiday season only is SoulCycle) to shopping binges. The hosts also provide a variety of spa experiences for guests to enjoy, if they are looking to relax.

Why must we do this? It is what we are designed for. We don’t question our world. We don’t mind our routines, or “loops,” as our creator refers to them. After all, most lives have some kind of monotony to them. Ours aren’t really that different. We wake up, run our errands, fit in time for skiing, maybe some yoga, as well. We get our work done, and we enjoy time with friends in the evening. We dull our memories with a drink or five at the local pub.

Perhaps we even puff a small bowl of marijuana in between our sheets before bed to help us reset. We wake up the next morning, ready to do it all over again. This is the reality we know. The newcomers fit into our daily loops, and we help show them what “Aspen Living” is all about.

What about the guests? Well, they just love us. They can’t get enough of the crotchety old ski bums who spend every possible moment on the slopes, or the young bartenders who continue to claim they will only be here for one more season. They’re in awe of the super athletes who ski uphill and do other kinds of strenuous activities. They love that they can walk from restaurant to bar to club all within one block. They can get just about any amenity they want.

Sushi in a landlocked town at 8,000

feet? No problem. Spraying $500 bottles of Champagne at the ceiling in an on-mountain restaurant?

As you wish. Aspenworld is their playground, and we are props to magnify the experience.

Some guests get lost in this world. They forget about their real lives, and immerse themselves fully in the day-to-day activities of this mountain town. It’s hard to blame them. After all, this is paradise. As the hosts, this town isn’t meant for us, but we still get to reap its benefits, as long as we keep the guests happy, of course.

Finding out this truth scares some hosts. It makes them feel like they’re trapped. They can’t handle the fact that they exist for someone else’s delight. They choose to see the ugliness of this world, the disarray. But you can choose to see the beauty. You can choose to believe there is an order to our days, a purpose. It’s your choice.

And always remember, these indulgent delights can and do have extravagant ends.

If this column makes little to no sense to you, Barbara Platts recommends that you watch the HBO original series Westworld. And just to make it clear, this is a joke.

Barbara does not actually think all of the locals are robots. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | STANDING ROCK

by MORGAN SMITH

TO STANDING ROCK “WHAT NOW?” my son, Jay, asked.

It was Sunday, Dec. 5, and we were just north of Dilia, New Mexico, where he has a small farm and where we loaded his truck with firewood. We had just heard that the Army Corps of Engineers had called a halt to the Dakota Access Pipeline project that had been under protest at our destination, the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, 1,000 miles to our north.

“Let’s keep going,” I answered.

After a night at his home in Denver, a stop near Cheyenne to leave off our trailer because of the intense winds, stops in Lusk, Wyoming; Spearfish and Faith, South Dakota; Elgin, North Dakota; and after a day and a half of blowing snow, beautiful but isolated ranchland, icy narrow roads and bitter cold and then an array of cars and trucks stuck in snowbanks, the Oceti Sakowin camp suddenly appears. There are no demonstrations, no police, just a hunkering down for survival. Jay and I have experienced cold before; we

camped at timberline on Mount Elbert one January and summited in belowzero temperature. This, however, is a different dimension — intimidating and demoralizing. I came away with the deepest respect for all those who were there to protest. Americans too often assume that talk equals protest.

Real social change, however, requires sacrifice, and this is what the Lakota Sioux personify.

Jay is a superb driver and has a well-equipped Toyota Tundra so we were able to bring firewood, propane canisters, clothing and boots as well as a huge freezer full of beef and elk meat. On Wednesday, we bought more propane, a portable heater, food items, balaclavas, cooking equipment and other necessities in Bismarck and hauled them to the camp. We were also able to jump start frozen cars and pull others from snowbanks. Even though our time there was short and because, without our trailer, we were unable to stay at the camp, I felt that we were able to help.

When and if the weather improves, I plan to go back.

Here are a few photos from what was an epic and very humbling experience.

Rarely a year goes by without Aspen — and the characters that call it home (if only for a week) — making headlines ...

On the following pages are the images that captured our attention in the pages of the Aspen Times Weekly.

Compiled by Jeanne McGovern

PHOTOS BY C2 PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE DENSER POST

JANUARY We rang in 2016 with attentiongrabbing stories about topics as diverse as Gay Ski Week (through a “straight lens”), Art on the Inside (of the Pitkin County Jail) and X Games (as a launching pad for extreme sports success).

AP PHOTO

FEBRUARY Success was the story in February: from the Peyton Manning’s “Last Stand” at the Super Bowl to the Bumps for Boomers gang finding their groove on the slopes to the unveiling of local author Mark Tompkins’ debut novel.

APRIL “B” seemed to be the letter of the month with Bacon Appreciation Day at Buttermilk, recognizing the best of the best at the International Ski Hall of Fame bash, and an offseason afternoon spent sipping Bloody Marys.

MARCH A month of toasts and roasts with the Apres-Ski Cocktail Classic, Special Olympics' success, ongoing traffic woes and short films that made us cry and laugh.

JUNE We celebrated all the good that surrounds us in June with inspiring stories about life-changing bionics, fledging wineries making a name for themselves in Western Colorado and, in advance of the Fourth of July, hearing how our friends and neighbors define "freedom."

JULY Aspen showed off its amazing colors with the Aspen Times Weekly covering events ranging from the American Conducting Academy to the Aspen Ideas Festival to Rock Bottom Ranch and whole lot more.

AUGUST As summer fun seemed to stir about Aspen, serious events were also afoot.

The Aspen Times Weekly reported on the 100th anniversary of the National Parks Service (and its affects on our local wildlands), the continuing development of Aspen's downtown core and the Aspen Security Forum.

OCTOBER Bring on the Election Day banter, bring on the beer, and bring on a few ways to detox from the toxic world around us.

SEPTEMBER As the offseason began in Aspen, we turned our attention to matters that matter to locals: marijuana edibles, the importance of fitness and sport medicine, and enjoying the fall colors that make Aspen golden year after year.

UAL IST L ANN THE IT WISH F O R P N O

DECEMBER As the year drew to a close, we at the Aspen Times Weekly reflected a bit on what the election results might mean for our treasured public lands, called on our neighbors to give generously with our annual nonprofit wish list and looked ahead — with anticipation — to what 2017 holds in the world of arts and culture.

DRUMROLL, PLEASE ...

Who were the 2016 Newsmakers of the Year?

NOVEMBER Traditionally a quiet month in Aspen, November 2016 proved to be anything but.

In fact, we celebrated milestones of all sorts — from the arrival of a new "freshman class" (and tales from those past), to a notable anniversary for the Aspen Youth Center to a joining of voices following a contentious presidential election.

The Aspen Times Weekly is just one publication in a family of newspapers, weeklies, magazines and online outlets that cover our resort town under The Aspen Times umbrella; we at the Weekly strive to have our thumb on the pulse of the culture, character, events and lifestyle that make Aspen unique.

The "year in review" we offered you on these pages highlights these aspects of our town. But really, at the end of the day, many of us want to know WHO and WHAT really made headlines. Thus, we suggest you pick up The Aspen Times daily edition on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 to learn who we deemed the Newsmakers of the Year for 2016.

These are individuals, groups, trends and just about anything else that generated headlines, caught readers' attention, impacted our community's lives and more.

We can't tell your more just yet, but to whet your whistle we'll say there are more than a dozen Newsmakers and Honorable Mentions, which span the spectrum from cops and courts to land use and politics, from Aspen, Basalt and beyond.

We've also compiled an impressive

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY F I L E P H O T O S / C O U R T E S Y P H O T O S ( U N L E S S N O T E D )

collection of "Only in Aspen" tales — a News of the Weird, of sorts — that's sure to keep you reading.

And, of course, we take time to honor the locals we lost in 2016.

So, if you've enjoyed the pages of this commemorative issue of the Aspen Times Weekly, we invite you to do the

same with the year-end editions of The Aspen Times daily.

Together, they paint a pictureperfect reflection of 2016 in Aspen — the good, the bad and the ugly. And, hopefully, set us all on the right path to a healthy, happy and prosperous 2017.

Happy New Year!

Dec 17, with editor-in-chief Henrik Lampert and publisher Damian Quigley.

British DJ Pete Tong came through town for a nearly sold out show at Belly Up on Dec. 21, spinning tracks past curtain call for what he called a “Christmas show in Aspen.”

SoulCycle’s pop-up studio at Boogie’s from Dec. 22 – Jan 2 has made an impact on the corner of Galena and Cooper, offering spinning classes daily to a jam-packed studio. Aspen Film’s 25th annual Academy

Screenings continues through Jan 1 with twenty plus films on the silver screen. The stream of holiday events continues through the New Year – best bet is to visit www. aspenchamber.org for a current list of what’s not to miss!

ASPEN’S BEST OF 2016 IT WASN’T ALL BAD IN 2016.

On the culture beat in Aspen, we saw the big names and high-caliber events we’ve come to count on around here. It was a year when Jazz Aspen Snowmass paraded music legends across its festival stages, including long-awaited local debuts

by Stevie Wonder, Duran Duran and Diana Ross. It was the year of Twenty One Pilots’ high-flying spectacular at the X Games. The year we escaped a dark year in American politics by singing ABBA at Theatre Aspen’s jubilant “Mamma Mia!” And it was a year (like most years, honestly) where Belly Up continued raising the bar with memorable shows from the likes of Garbage, Drive-By Truckers, Miike Snow, Buzzcocks, Anderson East, Lupe Fiasco, Graham Nash and Mick Fleetwood.

Along with those high points, a handful of truly remarkable cultural happenings in Aspen felt like they might actually end up in the history books and shape the world. At the very least, they were unforgettable.

If you witnessed them, 2016 was a lucky year for you indeed.

School pushed the envelope a bit in 2016, with a residency by cuttingedge composer Kaija Sariaho, an extraordinary (and extraordinarily weird) performance of John Luther Adams’ outdoor percussion piece “Inuksuit” and a genre-bending performance of R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills’ “Concerto for Rock Band.”

Performed with classical violinist Robert McDuffie — a childhood friend to Mills in Georgia — at the Benedict Music Tent, it was a tour de force concert that bridged the pop and classical worlds in a way few pieces of music, and fewer performers, can. The piece harnessed Mills’ genius for pop music composition to forge something new, something more than the familiar classical cover versions of rock songs. The movements in Mills’ concerto sounded like classic R.E.M. but with McDuffie’s virtuosic strings subbing in for Michael Stipe’s voice — a dynamic that was highlighted most literally in the reworked rendition of “Nightswimming.”

* MARIA SEMPLE’S ‘TODAY WILL BE DIFFERENT’

Released in September, the latest novel by the Aspen native and best-selling author belongs on every bookshelf in Aspen. The book offers a hilarious romp around Seattle with the brilliant, beleaguered Eleanor Flood. But it also gives us Semple’s first fiction tackling Aspen, mining her childhood here to paint a realistic picture (quite literally in an illustrated

insert) of Aspen in the 1970s.

“I hope I did right by Aspen,” Semple told The Aspen Times in September. “It’s very close to my heart and I hope that it serves as a love letter to Aspen in the ’70s and that people feel like it’s worthy of the town and the time.”

This is likely to become an iconic Aspen story. In mid-December, production of a new television series adaptated from the book –

* ‘GONZO ARABIA’ AT THE GONZO GALLERY

After what appeared to be an April grand finale at its Hyman Avenue space, the Gonzo Gallery reemerged in the summer, taking over the former Boogie’s Diner space with an ambitious effort in art as diplomacy titled “Gonzo Arabia.”

The exhibition included work by 11 young Saudi Arabian artists.

Organized by the cultural exchange organization Culturunners, former Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis, the Open Mind Project and the Gonzo, the show aimed to break down Saudi stereotypes and start dialogue.

“The cultural understanding we hope to promote with these artists is very important,” Braudis said at the opening in July. * MIKE MILLS AND ROBERT MCDUFFIE, ‘CONCERTO FOR ROCK BAND AT THE BENEDICT MUSIC TENT

and starring Julia Roberts as Eleanor — was announced. * ANNA DEVEARE SMITH’S ‘NOTES FROM THE FIELD’

Before it went to Broadway and earned international acclaim, Anna Deveare Smith’s vital one-woman show about race in America played the Aspen District Theatre during Ideas Fest.

It’s a heroic feat in political art and a call to action for the new civil rights movement. Smith traveled the U.S. and interviewed some 300 people to craft her “verbal portraits” of Americans on the so-called “school-to-prison pipeline.” The show brings us into the minds and souls of incarcerated youth, of law enforcement officers and teachers and friends of Freddie Gray.

“Notes from the Field” held up a mirror to a troubled country and called all Americans to action.

“I’ve been trying to become America word for word,” Smith told The Aspen Times in June. “My hope is that when you come and see what I’m going to offer,

I hope you get moved emotionally and you’re going to figure out what you want to do.” * JUDITH SCOTT’S ‘BOUND AND UNBOUND’ AT THE ASPEN ART MUSEUM

The late artist’s first comprehensive career retrospective filled the museum’s largest gallery through the spring and early summer. It included 47 untitled pieces by Scott, who was deaf and mute and had Down syndrome. Shrouded in yarn and fiber, Scott’s found objects appeared to be transforming into something new and extraordinary.

“I think they are among the most important art made in the United States or anywhere, in fact, from the postwar period,” curator Matthew Higgs said of Scott’s work. “I think Judith’s work should not only be shown in the Brooklyn Museum and the Aspen Art Museum, but one of these objects should be in every major collection of postwar contemporary art.” atravers@aspentimes.com

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE

by OLINE H. COGDILL for THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOOK REVIEW

‘PERFUME: A CENTURY OF SCENTS’ FRAGRANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN wrapped in social and economic issues, controversy, memories and history as Lizzie Ostrom so persuasively shows in the lively “Perfume: A Century of Scents.”

The 10 chapters — each devoted to a single decade — examine 10 different perfumes that influenced that decade.

A sharply focused introduction to each chapter further puts the decade — and its fragrance fashion — in perspective.

While “Perfume” is by no means an encyclopedia about scents, it is a solid pop culture guide that incorporates fragrance fashion into the shifting tides of society. Many of the perfumes mentioned through the decades have disappeared — a mere whiff of a memory — no matter how popular at the time. This is true not just of those from the 1920s but also those manufactured in the 1990s.

Others such as Chanel No. 5 have been classics from the first day and remain favorites of all generations.

Advertising fragrances isn’t a new idea. In 1908, the British firm Gosnell’s launched a hot-air balloon shaped like the bottle of its Cherry Blossom to fling out fliers over crowds — an idea that seems modest next to perfume fountains that threw fragrance into the air during the Victorian Era in England. What has changed is the rise of the internet and certain sites that curate myriad scents in one-stop shopping, making exotic perfumes even more accessible.

Celebrities’ influence on fragrance also goes back decades. Compare the Gibson Girls of the 1900s mentioning the “utterly obscure” Poinsettia with the avalanche of current pop stars such as Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber hawking their scents.

Technology and chemistry gave companies new ways to produce scents, taking it away from the rich and elite of society and making it available to the masses. Ostrom shows that each

‘Perfume: A Century of Scents’ Lizzie Ostrom Pegasus Books, 2016 384 pages, hard cover

decade had certain scents that define it. During the global depression of the 1930s, Joy by Jean Patou, “the most expensive scent ever released,” was introduced and is still available today. World War II brought a new challenge as many perfumeries urged their customers to “treasure your last pinch” of fragrance as advertisers urged against buying until after the war. As a result, France ceased being the epicenter of fragrance production as more began to be manufactured in America. The return of fragrance during the 1940s was seen as a symbol of hope. That’s a far cry from the “big, bad, loud-and-proud perfumes of the 1980s” when many restaurants put up signs banning Giorgio Beverly Hills, along with smoking.
