EDITOR’S NOTE

hot summer | Perhaps we can officially call this the 10-year

drought, as it was exactly that long ago when our snowpack reached such dismal conditions so early in the spring. The heat wave that started more than a week ago continues, and already, a forest fire is on the record in Summit County — Summit County, with a base elevation of 9,000 feet, where snow should live until June.

Ten years ago, residential sprawl, and after a late start and the Front Range made a dry March, moguls another call last year disappeared, and for more water from by early May, the the high country, which ground had absorbed means before we stand the last of the snow. up and ask others to cut Within weeks, the back, we must ensure RYAN SLABAUGH worst fire in Colorado we have an example history (the Hayman to present.

sure that’s the best idea.

But you get the point. With water, one person does make a difference, a message water advocates have built on since 2002, when the trends had become obviously clear: The water supply runs under the historic average nearly every year, and our usage is increasing. This summer, without a big set of storms between now and the end of May, we will get a measure of our true supply — and it won’t be pretty.

For now, we can start to conserve and keep our eyes on our own water usage. And, while we do that, let’s hope it snows.

If it does, and we wake up a few more mornings to the powderday alarms, we can celebrate, go skiing and know summer might have taken a turn for the better. It’s possible, but just in case, let’s make sure our sprinklers stay off. rslabaugh@aspentimes.com.

with JOHN COLSON

Sheriff Joe Arpaio used to be just Arizona’s problem I’VE BEEN READING for too long now about how Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the madman with a badge and a gun down in Maricopa County, Ariz., has hooked his star to the Teabaggers’ incessant campaign to prove that President Obama is not fit for office because he was born somewhere else.

Before I go any further, in the name of full disclosure, I should say that I know all about Sheriff Joe. He’s a selfpromoting, bigoted crook and sadist who could only be elected in Arizona, the state that gave us Barry Goldwater.

My late, lamented Dad used to live in Arizona, and would regale me with tales about Sheriff Joe and his antics.

One such was a description of the sheriff chasing down hookers on horseback in the mean streets of Phoenix, with a drunken posse of his good ol’ buddies riding at his heels.

Arpaio is under investigation for misusing funds, abusing his authority and possible embezzlement of the proceeds from sales of his signature pink boxer shorts emblazoned with the sheriff ’s logo on them. These were popular a while back after he forced inmates of his “tent city” prison to wear pink underwear as a form of humiliation and disrespect.

At that same tent city, where temperatures reached 125-degrees Fahrenheit in the summertime, he would starve the inmates, put them to work on chain gangs and force them to partake of other examples of fun in the desert.

And this is the guy the Teabaggers have picked as one of their champions?

I’m not terribly surprised, actually, though I have to wonder what the county’s taxpayers think of their sheriff babbling on about national topics that have nothing to do with his job.

Sheriff Joe is nothing if not a publicity-grabbing opportunist, who undoubtedly sees in the Tea Party a ready-made constituency of fools, braggarts, bigots and blowhards — just like him.

The most recent outrage to fuel the insanity of this lot is a plot uncovered by “investigators commissioned by Sheriff Joe” working on behalf of “birthers” everywhere.

It seems that they were searching for proof that Obama was born in Kenya and then smuggled into the U.S. at some point, when they

uncovered — GASP! — evidence that “Immigration and Naturalization Service travel records for foreign flights into Hawaii in 1961 ... were missing.”

Holy conspiracy theory, Joe! I think you’ve got it.

How else to explain why records might go missing for that particular week more than half a century ago? What could it be other than a vast, Muslim/communist plot to take over the United States and make us all wear veils and bloomers?

Wait, though.

This news flash comes from none other than the Washington Times, the right-wing propaganda organ founded

by Sun Myung Moon, that paragon of religious humbuggery and selfaggrandizing profiteering in the name of spiritual growth who also gave us the Unification Church.

According to reports, Moon has spent more than 2 billion in church funds (which means, basically, his own money) to keep the paper afloat from its founding in 1982 until the recent economic meltdown put the paper’s future in doubt.

These days, the paper’s online mission seems to be to parrot everything the teabaggers can dream up to cast Obama in an evil light. The WashingtonTimes 24/7 regularly features headlines about the president’s socialistic, anti-American ways and his devotion to the idea of turning the U.S. into a Muslim state.

And, of course, it prints every utterance that Sheriff Joe makes in the “birther” cause, including some noises that are better left unmentioned.

All of this would be merely hilarious were it not for the fact that it has been accepted by an alarmingly large, mean-spirited and ugly subset of the American population.

This is a problem, of course, because too many of the rest of us have given up, frustrated by the sheer complexity of our society and our economy, convinced the crooks are firmly in control and there’s nothing we can do.

And that’s how the whack-jobs and nut-balls, bound tightly together by their madness and their “faith,” can make it seem like they hold the moral and political high ground in America.

CHEERS&JEERS

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

Fun was had at the Fallen Friends event in March, benefitting locals who lost their lives skiing.

5 THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT WARM WEATHER

O1 O2 O3

CHEERS | To the Aspen City Council for passing appropriate but not overreaching ordinances to address the illegal rentals issue. Limiting rentals, the original discussion point, would unfairly punish those who are participating within the law. Instead, the council let cooler heads prevail and installed measures to ensure taxes and licensing are in place, which seems about right.

JEERS | To winter’s early departure from the region, a bad sign for water levels and fire threats this coming summer. Please start thinking about water conservation measures you can take, and while you’re at it, pray for snow.

CHEERS | To the local group proactively looking at the potential negative effects of the Pro Cycling Challenge’s plans to double-up on Independence Pass. With crowds expected in the thousands, grassroots groups focused on the health of the Pass are stepping forward with concern that years of hard work might be erased in one week. We would encourage some creative thinking, like shuttles up and down the pass to remove car traffic, and a limit on the number of campsites.

JEERS | To the lack of trial for Trayvon Martin’s shooter.

Nobody on Martin’s side is asking for anything but a trial, which seems like the least they can do. The process of justice should not be so intimidating, to either side.

BUZZ WORTHY ASPEN

ASPEN INTERESTED IN IDLING The city of Aspen’s Environmental Health Department is conducting an online survey to learn more about how residents would like to see the city’s law against idling vehicles enforced. Idling for more than five minutes is illegal in Aspen. To provide input on the issue, residents can go to www.aspenpitkin.com and click on the “Idling Survey” link in the City Spotlight section.

The nine-question survey asks respondents in which area of the city they reside, whether idling vehicles is a concern or problem and where idling vehicles are typically noticed.

The survey also asks respondents if they leave their own vehicles idling and why or why not. Among other

questions, the survey also outlines the penalties for idling citations and asks respondents what level of enforcement they’d like to see.

COUNCIL STEPS BACK ON RENTAL RESTRICTIONS After hearing from several property owners and brokers who said that few problems are caused by renters of vacation properties in residential areas, the Aspen City Council decided March 26 not to impose restrictions on the number of times those properties can be rented annually.

However, an ordinance on vacation rentals, which the council passed unanimously, does

STAY IN THE KNOW — CATCH UP ON RECENT NEWS & LOCAL EVENTS make it clear that all owners of property — whether in residential, commercial or lodging districts — will be required to obtain a city-issued business license and permit in order to legally rent out a house to vacationers. Not only that — they must pay sales taxes on those rentals, a requirement that already was part of city code but rarely was enforced in the past.

RARE PLANT STYMIES LAND SALE The U.S. Forest Service has decided not to sell riparian land along the Roaring Fork River because of the discovery of a rare, threatened plant The Forest Service wants to sell its holdings in that area

“WHAT’S IT CALLED ... THE RARE ALBINO DANDELION?” 10

FIVE THINGS

to help raise funds to build a new office and visitors center in Aspen.

The Forest Service was working through a thorough inventory of the property when the plant was discovered. The Forest Service doesn’t want the rare plant identified because it doesn’t want to draw attention to the property.

“It’s exciting stuff. It throws a little curve ball” into the plan, said White River National Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams.

If the sale were to proceed, the agency must follow strict rules for disposing of property with a plant covered by the Endangered Species Act, Fitzwilliams said.

Instead he and his staff decided to withdraw it from the lands available for sale.

“It will stay as part of the national forest system,” Fitzwilliams said.

GUEST OPINION COLUMN

by RANDY UDALL of WRITERS ON THE RANGE

Fracking is the big new gun NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE riderless horses. They have a mind of their own and go where they want.

Someone invents the personal computer, and 40 years later you spend hours each day surfing the Internet. Travel agents disappear, software engineers are born.

Outside Las Vegas, soldiers sit in darkened rooms piloting drones with joysticks, raining hellfire down on Taliban fighters a world away.

Disruptive technologies don’t care what you think or who you are.

They’ll sweep you up and drag you along. That’s where we are right now with hydraulic fracking, horizontal drilling, downhole telemetry, 3D seismic and the host of related technologies that have unlocked shale gas and “tight” oil plays like North Dakota’s Bakken field, where more rigs are at work than in Saudi Arabia.

Recent history teaches that geology rocks and science rules.

The sexy rocks in petroleum geology have always been porous sandstones and limestones, easy formations willing to surrender the goods. In contrast, black shales, the original wellspring of all petroleum wealth, have been overlooked even though geologists knew them to be everywhere. Yes, you could drill them, and a few did, but generally you were pouring sand down a rat hole.

Now, that world has been overthrown. If Prudhoe Bay’s startup in 1977 was the energy equivalent of a sugar-high sending 2 million barrels per day gushing south, the “shale gale” has been a hit on a crack pipe. Since 2000, the equivalent of 4 million barrels per day of new natural gas has hit the market. Two Prudhoes, and no one saw it coming.

Like all revolutions, this one has had unanticipated consequences.

It’s crashed the price of natural gas, saving your family 200 this year

alone. It’s idled 10,000 uneconomic coalbed methane wells in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. It’s triggered a leasing frenzy across Colorado’s Front Range, where the Niobrara play is the hot new ticket.

The blowback is everywhere.

Cheap natural gas has enabled utilities to close dozens of sclerotic, polluting coal plants. In response, coal companies propose to export their surplus coal to Asia, enabling China, with its tremendous energy appetite, to nibble on Wyoming and Montana. Fracking has put a dagger in the nuclear renaissance, and created challenging headwinds for renewables. Fracking, together with weak regulations and gutless politicians, is the reason that Pinedale, Wyo., and Vernal, Utah, now have worse wintertime smog than Los Angeles, New York or Houston.

You may say you want a revolution, but generally you don’t. Predictably, fracking, the high-pressure injection of massive amounts of water, sand and toxic chemicals a mile underground, has sparked controversy.

It is nearly impossible to turn on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow or FOX TV without finding someone either deploring or celebrating its arrival.

Fracking took a whirl in President Obama’s State of the Union address.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper records industry-penned radio announcements extolling its safety.

Conferences are held, talks are given, hands are waved.

But there’s a key difference between the Internet revolution and these disruptive innovations in oil and gas. The former took over your brain; the latter threatens your water, air and the land and wildlife you love, perhaps even your perception of democracy.

Yet the larger story has gone missing. With little discussion and less thought, and with barely a peep of civic protest, modern technology had married ancient geology. What a fateful union, as this power-struck duo has enshrined oil and gas extraction as the dominant land use on our continent.

Since year 2000, oil and gas companies have leased a staggering amount of land in the Rockies, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio.

Add it all up, and the industry now holds drilling rights to at least 10 percent of the Lower 48, more land than is owned by the Bureau of Land Management, more land than we will plant in corn, wheat and soybeans, about 10 times as much acreage as we’ve paved — all given over to oil and gas for at least 50 years to come. Just in western Colorado, for example, Encana, Exxon and a company called Williams own a Yellowstone Park-sized chunk of land in Garfield and Rio Blanco counties.

Nearly 50,000 oil and gas wells will be started in the United States this year, more than in all other nations combined. Roughly 90 percent of them wouldn’t be drilled unless their target zones could be fracked. Like it or not, and many of my friends seem to hate it, this technology has become one of the underpinnings of our civilization, as central to the way we live as the cell phone or computer.

Tighter regulation of fracking, and indeed the entire petroleum industry, may be both imminent and long overdue, but this particular horse has already left the barn, and is rapidly galloping across the entire planet.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

CLASSIC ASPEN

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Miners pioneered the use of electricallypowered diamond drills in the Veteran Tunnel.

DIAMOND DRILLING finding silver in the middle of a mountain is an expensive

undertaking. If you tunnel a few feet a day through hard rock, a year of hard work later might find you, unknowing, a foot away from an ore body.

Hand-drilling through hard rock was the tried and true method of tunneling until after the Civil War, when the use of machine drills became viable. Prior to then, drillers used lengths of steel that had to be hardened and sharpened daily by a blacksmith. The introduction of diamond-tipped drills eliminated daily sharpening.

Hard black diamonds from Brazil revolutionized drilling. The insertion of diamond cubes into the end of the drill bit increased drill speed and decreased maintenance time.

A hollow (annular) bit that cut through rock while retaining cylindrical rock cores changed prospecting. As the drill dug through rock, water was pumped through a hollow drilling steel tube to keep the bits cool. As the drill progressed through rock, a cylinder of rock remained in the drill bit. When a miner extracted a section, a rock sample could be pulled from the bit, revealing the geology along the drilling route.

Instead of tunneling through rock at a cost of 20 a foot (in 1890s dollars) to find ore bodies, miners could bore through the rock and retrieve samples for less than a dollar a foot.

The system was in use for decades before Aspen tried it. In 1888, Aspen’s Enterprise Mine

horsepower electric motor and the drilling rig was small enough to fit easily on an ore car. That portable contraption could drill vertically or horizontally from within a narrow tunnel and dramatically reduced the cost of drilling.

By 1890, better drills were introduced by the Sullivan Company of Chicago. They allowed a prospecting length of 200 feet.

One version of the drill used a 3

mine operators found new ore bodies in places they had thought held potential but had not wanted to expend the resources to explore.

The Molly Gibson on Smuggler Mountain mapped a major new ore body. A mine in Woody Creek found ore by drilling from the surface.

The Argentum Juniata operation on Aspen Mountain, about to close because it was out of ore, discovered new veins.

As the first all-electric mine in Aspen, the Aspen Mining Company enjoyed a reputation for being on the cutting edge of mining technology. They employed diamond drills in 1890 for exploration within the Veteran Tunnel on lower Aspen Mountain, carving hundred-foot horizontal test holes every 40 feet in sections of two levels of tunnel. At least 15 feet of drilling was accomplished each eight-hour shift, sometimes 60 feet a day. In soft rock a two-inch bit was used, in harder rock, or deeper in, a one-inch core was drilled.

The Aspen Mine invested thousands of dollars to buy 32 diamonds, the largest expense of the operation. After the steel was heated, six diamonds were inserted into holes in the drill bit.

Unfortunately, some diamonds worked loose and were lost in the bowels of the earth; nevertheless, after the Aspen Mine pioneered its use, diamond drilling became standard operating procedure in Aspen.

Aspen’s final diamond drilling effort punctured the Little Annie Basin in the 1960s. Abandoned pipe casing from that project can still be spotted along sections of the road.

In the Highland Tunnel far below, diamond drilling confirmed geologic suppositions, but no ore bodies were discovered in either operation.

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. Reach him at redmtn@schat.net

1992 24 HOU R S OF A S P E N

“FOR  RACERS, the 24 Hours of Aspen ski-a-thon was a grueling test of endurance, will and sanity,” read an article in the Aspen Times on Dec. 5, 1992. “They schussed through daylight and through the dark into the next day. And by the time the race ended at noon Tuesday, nine racers suffering from a variety of injuries — including broken bones, dislocated joints, pulled muscles and overall exhaustion — watched the finish from the sidelines. But 11 racers — including two women — endured the winds, single-digit temperatures and fatigue, and blazed down Little Nell for the 79 or 80th time in the 24-hour period in what is probably the world’s toughest ski race.”

PATAGONIA SIMPLE GUIDE PANT Well hell. We weren’t planning on writing the spring hiking pants gear review for a few more weeks, but here we are, smack-dab in one of the longest March heat waves we can remember, and if you’re like us, you’ve already done a hike this spring that reminded you of summer. This all brings us to Patagonia’s Simple Guide pant, an excellent option for both men and women who have ripped out an old pair, or are just in the mood for an update. It’s a very light option, for one, but still feels durable.

Plus, the pant description includes the phrase “gusseted crotch,” which makes us giggle like we’ve had one too many.

Or maybe that’s just the spring fever at work. — Ute Mountaineer Staff

Spring fever, anyone? I am really feeling it, yet I am in a quandary between “we need more snow” and “let’s just call it a wrap and bring on summer.” That said, I am starting to work on my tan, the sleds are moving closer to the garage, and I am pouring myself a Blackbeard Don Q Spiced Rum and pineapple juice, better known as a “Pour Man’s Mai Tai”. I throw a little lime in there to cut the pineapple sweetness, grab a straw to make me feel like I am on vacation, and settle in for a spring farmer’s tan.

WORDS to DRINK BY

by KELLY J. HAYES

TIED UP TO THE HITCHING POST WHEN YOU TALK TO MAKERS of fine Pinot Noir, the expression “hang time” comes up a lot. It refers to the amount of time a vintner chooses to leave their grapes on the vines until they achieve optimal ripeness.

But in a conversation this past week with the affable Gray Hartley who, along with partner Frank Ostini, has been making great Pinot Noir in the Santa Maria Valley under the Hitching Post moniker for more than KELLY J. 30 years, the time he HAYES wanted to talk about was “face time.”

“We could call our wines the 2008 Fiddlestick Vineyard Pinot Noir blah blah blah …” he said, “but it is so much more fun to name a wine ‘Perfect Set’ or ‘Big Circle’ or ‘Highliner.’ That way everyone wants to know why and then you some get face time with ‘em so you can tell them about the wines.”

I relay the story because a few lucky folks are going to get some up close and personal face time with Gray next Thursday evening (April 5, 2012) at Six89 in Carbondale. There, he will be hosting a winemaker’s dinner pairing the Hitching Post wines with the cuisine of Chef Bryce Orblom.

If you love great wines and great food, doubled with a dose of great conversation with a California winemaking pioneer, this is the place you want to be. Amongst the wines Gray will be pouring is the Pinot Noir 2008 Highliner, a blend of the best grapes from the best sites in the best vineyards in Santa Barbara County.

Be sure to ask him why he calls the wine “Highliner.”

The Hitching Post story goes back to 1952 when the original Hitching Post restaurant began serving world class Santa Maria Style BBQ cooked over red oak flame. While that restaurant remains a legend it is the Hitching Post II in Buellton that garnered national fame as it played a key-supporting role in Alexander Payne’s wine-centric film, “Sideways.”

“Sideways” chronicled a weekend wine trip undertaken by two friends

to the Central Coast. It was a quintessential buddy picture. And yet I contend that the “buddy” relationship between Gray Hartley and Frank Ostini, the owner of the Hitching Post, is likely more authentic, and surely a more compelling story than the one on screen.

Gray and Frank made their first wines together in 1979 in Frank’s

garage. They begin with a Merlot and for the next two years branched out a bit, making a Cabernet Sauvignon as well. But in 1981, the pair found their sweet spot with Pinot Noir. It may seem strange today, but in the early 1980s the idea of making great Pinot Noir on the Central Coast was a revelation for Gray.

“It was like a first kiss,” Gray said.

“It changed our lives.”

The pair began making wines for the original Hitching Post and by the time the second location opened in Buellton in 1986 they were beginning to get good. They purchased fruit

from some of the best growers in Santa Barbara County and started doing some blends as well as single vineyard wines. Soon they were making their wines at Jim Clendenen’s Au Bon Climat.

The entire region was exploding with innovative winemakers and great fruit. And Frank and Gray had created a nice little business selling around 5,000 cases in 2001 in the days

“It’s a Pinot wannabe,” Gray told me. He went to explain that it is a red wine grape with roots in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It is marked by big clusters of dark grapes and other winemakers like Paso Robles J.Lohr are bottling some wines built on the varietal.

A treat at the six89 dinner will be a Rosé called “Pinks” made from a

that Gray refers to as “BS” — before Sideways. Then Miles and Jack (the protagonists in “Sideways”) came to town in 2003 and everything changed.

“When the film came out we doubled our production,” he said. “Then in two years time we were making close to 20,000 cases. Finally, it struck us. This is just too much work.”

Today the focus is on single vineyard designate Pinot Noirs from some of the great Vineyards in the region including Julia’s, Bien Nacido and the aforementioned Fiddlestick located in the Sta Rita Hills appellation. There are also value priced Pinot blends that are from these iconic vineyards and some Syrah.

This week I tasted a 2009 Hitching Post Gen Red, a wine that was led by Cabernet Franc, blended with some Merlot and Syrah and finished with a grape called Valdiguie that I had never heard of.

blend of the 75 percent Valdiguie, which is then toned a bit with 25 percent Pinot Noir. While I might note that this is great wine for springtime, Gray would be a bit more descriptive. “It’s like a very sexual woman who comes into the room and kind of flaunts it, flirting with everyone,” he says of the Valdiguie.

“But the Pinot gives her some character. She grows up a bit, gets some life lessons, maybe learns a couple of languages and comes back a much more interesting person.”

Face time with Gray Hartley. It will be a fun and memorable evening.

For reservations call six89 at 970-963-6890.

TODD SNIDER, “AGNOSTIC HYMNS & STONER FABLES,” PRODUCED BY SNIDER AND ERIC MCCONNELL (AIMLESS/ THIRTY TIGERS) These are times built for a bold, wise-ass, up-from-the-bottom provocateur, and Todd Snider — a folkie with more sense of humor than sensitivity, a guy who has known serious trouble in his 45 years — steps fully into the role here. Snider connects the dots between money, jealousy, religion and class warfare as well as any proper commentator.

“Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables” opens with “In the Beginning,” a satirical, punk-edged talking blues in which Snider takes aim at the 1 percent with wicked wit and bitter insights into wealth, jealousy and God. “New York Banker” makes the point, over and over, that “Good things happen to bad people” — the good thing being piles of money, the bad people being those who screwed other people to get it.

Snider doesn’t just find unexpected ways to rail against the obvious villains; he also finds unexpected bad guys. Kids, for instance, in “Precious

✦

Little Miracles”: “They drive around looking for people to kill / Not even for the money but rather for the thrill.” The indignation is, of course, mock; Snider’s point is this: Are we giving our kids any reason to love us?

For Snider, the answer is no. We’ve filled this world with a love of money and not enough opportunities to get it. Just under Snider’s absurdist humor is rage: “I know how mad I’m gettin’ just knowin’ how much more you got than me / I’m thinkin’, What’s keepin’ me from killin’ this guy and takin’ his shit?” he sings on “In Between Jobs.”

HEARTLESS BASTARDS, “ARROW,” PRODUCED BY JIM ENO (PARTISAN) An album that features songs with titles like “Got to Have Rock and Roll” and “The Arrow Killed the Beast,” by a band called Heartless Bastards that is frequently compared to fellow Ohioans the Black Keys — that album is going to rock relentlessly, right? No, “Arrow” does something trickier and more delicious. It only makes you think it is blasting fullthrottle the entire time but shows a great deal of versatility and restraint.

March 29 - Apr il 4, 2012

The moments of pounding guitars and drums are there — check out the beginning to “Simple Feeling”; even as the drummer taps out the best, you can feel the onslaught to come. But there are also songs like “Marathon,” which spotlights vocalist Erika Wennerstrom and the way she draws out each syllable, making lines like “on this road home” memorable.

“Parted Ways” is a catchy midtempo tune; “The Arrow Killed the Beast” is slow and sludgy in a Neil Young & Crazy Horse way. This is garage rock made nearly into art.

Heartless Bastards play April 13 at Belly Up.

J.C. BROOKS & THE UPTOWN HORNS, “WANT MORE,” PRODUCED BY JIMMY SUTTON (BLOODSHOT) The old-school soul revival is in high gear, with lots of acts following the lead of Sharon Jones & the DapKings and Fitz & the Tantrums. But there should always be room for Chicago’s J.C. Brooks & the Uptown Horns, who not only add some garage greasiness to the sound but show forward thinking with their energized,

The concerts I’ve seen Dr. John perform the past few years have been lackluster, indifferent. Mac Rebennack was approaching his 70s; he’d seen New Orleans — not only his hometown but a place he is so intimately associated with — devastated by nature and human indifference; he’d gone through addictions; he’d made his share of music. But in 1998, Mac hooked up with a bunch of young players who had nothing to do with New Orleans and recorded the excellent “Anutha Zone,” and the formula works again here. This time, the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach is at the controls, a batch of kids were rounded up, and the doctor is operating on a high level again. The references to the traditions of New Orleans are under the surface; the commitment is to chugging R&B that feels both modern and classic. The album ends with the potent “God’s Been Good,” which feels like Mac’s statement of gratitude that God has intervened on his behalf.

MARISA MONTE, “O QUE VOCË QUER SABER DE VERDADE,” PRODUCED BY MONTE (BLUE NOTE) Word is we should keep our eyes on the emerging world power that is Brazil. We should keep our ears open, too, and a fine place to start is with this new album by 44-year-old superstar Marisa Monte. Her voice is pure, the backing is thoughtfully balanced between traditional and modern touches, and “O Que Vocë Quer Saber De Verdade” — translation: “What You Really Want to Know” — reinforces the idea of Brazil as this sensible, vital place.

‘SKIING ON THE MOON’ ELK MOUNTAIN GRAND TRAVERSE BACK FOR ANOTHER ‘DARK’ YEAR

by AMANDA CHARLES

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

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

27

some call it the ‘Grand Reverse’; others call it ‘Nature’s Race.’ Those

who have gone before swear it’s a race not like any other. It’s cold, it’s long, it’s dark — it’s no man’s land. It’s after midnight, and contrary to what Jerry Garcia says, it’s far from peaches and cream.

With an origin dating back to the old mail routes connecting the towns of Crested Butte and Aspen in the 1880s, the Elk Mountain Grand Traverse began in 1998 as a 40-mile, unsupported backcountry ski race to test the toughness of the area’s most elite skiers and mountaineers. Now in its 15th year, the Grand Traverse continues to challenge the reputation of any mountain race of its kind by a course so daunting it leaves even the best athletes wandering off route with trembling extremities and fleeting hopes for the finish line.

“It’s like skiing on the moon,” four-time race participant and local physical trainer Thomas Ray said of the unpredictability of the race.

“When you’re out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but darkness,

it really dawns on you. … You start asking yourself, ‘What the hell have I got myself into?’”

Unlike mountain races that begin at sunrise, the Grand Traverse unleashes teams of two from Crested Butte into the ungroomed backcountry of the Elk Mountain Range at midnight;

racers through 40 miles of avalancheprone terrain with an elevation gain of 7,800 feet before the final push down Aspen Mountain. If teams fail to make it to any of the mandatory checkpoints within the cutoff time, or if a racer arrives at any checkpoint without their partner, they will be disqualified and must immediately turn around.

A team of more than 100 volunteers including snow safety marshals will be positioned along the course and at the checkpoints to provide water, medical aid and evacuation options in case of an emergency; however, the help from volunteers is minimal, for a reason.

“The goal was to make it as unsupportive as possible,” said newly appointed race director and 14-time finisher Bryan Wickenhauser, noting how each checkpoint offers limited

IF TEAMS FAIL TO MAKE IT TO ANY OF THE MANDATORY CHECKPOINTS WITHIN THE CUTOFF TIME, OR IF A RACER ARRIVES AT ANY CHECKPOINT WITHOUT THEIR PARTNER, THEY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AND MUST IMMEDIATELY TURN AROUND.

a mere compass, headlamp and highlighted terrain map serve as the teams’ only means of direction for the entirety of the race. Equipped with climbing skins, free-heel ski systems and poles, ski suits, avalanche rescue tools, a two-person shelter, at least 100 ounces of water and enough food to sustain each team member for 24 hours, the traverse will lead

THE COURSE Traditionally, racers depart from the Crested Butte Community School at midnight on a Saturday. In 2012, the start time is now 11 p.m. Racers proceed to Crested Butte Mountain Resort, passing through the base area and then through the ski area. Racers leave the ski area just below the Gold Link lift, cross the East River Valley and head south to Brush Creek Road. The course then follows Brush Creek Road until it turns onto Forest Service Trail 400. The course climbs past the Friends Hut and then on to Star Pass. From Star Pass the course continues to Taylor Pass on FS Trail 761A and then along the Richmond Hill Road (FS 123) to the Barnard Hut. At Barnard Hut, there will be a mandatory medical check and 10-minute stopover. From the Barnard Hut, the course proceeds north on Richmond Ridge until reaching Aspen Mountain. Racers ski down Aspen Mountain on the Spar Gulch run to the finish line at the bottom of the gondola.

COURSE FACTS START: Crested Butte FINISH: Aspen DISTANCE: 40 miles ELEVATION GAIN: 7,800 feet TYPICAL FINISHING TIME: Eight to 16 hours

CUTOFFS FRIENDS HUT: Racers must reach the Friends Hut by 7 a.m. Teams that do not meet this cutoff will be turned around and must return to Crested Butte.

STAR PASS: Racers must reach Star Pass by 8 a.m. Teams that do not meet this cutoff will be turned around and must return to Crested Butte.

BARNARD HUT: There is a mandatory 10-minute stop and medical check at the Barnard Hut. Racers must reach the Barnard Hut by 2 p.m. Racers that do not meet this cutoff must ski to a predetermined pickup point, where they will be escorted to the Sundeck and downloaded on the Aspen gondola.

ASPEN MOUNTAIN GATE: Racers must reach the top of Aspen Mountain by 4 p.m. Racers who do not make this cutoff will be escorted to the Sundeck and downloaded on the Aspen gondola.

AID STATIONS There are two aid stations on the course at Friends Hut and Barnard Hut.

aid to participants. “Teams must rely on each other out there and be able to self-rescue. If one goes down, it’s the other’s responsibility to pull him. If teams lose their way, they have to find a way back. If their water freezes or their gear breaks, they have to fix it.”

Recalling prior years when below-zero temperatures, 70-mph winds and ground blizzards left him and several other racers offroute with cases of frostbite and extreme hypothermia, Wickenhauser stressed that because the race is so multifaceted, having functioning gear across all areas is crucial.

But according to Eric Sullivan, nine-time finisher of the traverse (and creative mind behind the addition of a chest pocket to hold the bladder of a Camelback so that it won’t freeze), this year’s conditions seem more than favorable.

“There’s a lot of melting going on out there,” Sullivan said. “I won’t be surprised if people switch out skins for tennis shoes to run through mud and stream crossings.”

With race day coming up the night of March 30, 160 teams — from Florida to Washington to New

England — will meet in Crested Butte during the next two days for a mandatory gear check and meeting. New to the lineup this year, each team is required to carry a GPS tracking device on the outside of their pack so judges and spectators alike can follow their positions throughout the race.

“Gear check is probably the most self-humbling aspect of the whole experience,” Thomas Ray said. “You see all these guys around you with

believes everyone involved shares an interest for the complexity of the race and the combination of climbing and skiing in the backcountry. “This race is an incredible test of physical and mental strength, and just to finish is quite an accomplishment.”

AMONG THOSE WHO are in it just to finish will be first-time competitors and father-daughter duo Kevin and Kylie Collins. Traveling from his permanent home in Connecticut to meet up with his 22-year-old daughter, who lives full time in Aspen, the 54-year-old father claims altitude is his biggest fear going into the race.

“While I do travel to Snowmass three weeks out of the year, living in (Connecticut) limits my ability

THEN AS THE SUN SETS AND THE MOUNTAIN PEAKS CAST DARK SHADOWS OVER A COLD NIGHT SKY, 160 TEAMS WILL LINE UP AT THE BASE OF THE CRESTED BUTTE SKI AREA, THEIR POLES DIGGING INTO THE HARD EARTH AND THEIR HEADLAMPS SERVING AS THE ONLY SOURCE OF LIGHT FOR THE NEXT SEVEN HOURS. one-piece race suits and Randonnee AT gear who are truly in it to win. …

Meanwhile all you’re praying for is a healthy finish.”

“We love to see new athletes finish,” said Wickenhauser, who

to stimulate Grand Traverse conditions,” Kevin Collins said. “I spend a lot of time on the treadmill and StairMaster with the incline cranked all the way up.”

Kevin, who has plans to compete in an Iron Man triathlon shortly after the Grand Traverse, says this race was his daughter’s idea. She came to

Aspen with the hopes of becoming a ski patroller.

With a rigorous seven-day-per-week workout routine of running, biking and swimming, a diet free of red meat and plans to arrive in Aspen a week before to train with his daughter and become acclimated, Kevin Collins looks to the traverse as being more of an experience than a race.

“Our goal is to move slow but efficiently and finish within the allotted time frame,” he said. His primary concern is not his daughter but his own ability to safely navigate on narrow ridges at high altitudes in the middle of the night.

“My mental strength is like Jell-O, and Kylie’s like granite, so I’m not sure what her strategy is if I go down,” he said. “Kylie is the most laid-back person I know, so I think as long as we communicate we can work well as a team.”

In the meantime, Kylie prepares herself by skinning and trail running, while she obtains helpful advice from a co-worker who competed in the traverse last year.

“I was told as long as I have warm mittens I should be OK,” she said. “I already invested in warm mittens, so I feel pretty optimistic about a successful finish.”

Following the meeting on the afternoon of March 30, racers will have the remainder of the day to get their packs and gear ready, fuel their bodies with food and drink and come up with any last-minute race strategies.

Then as the sun sets and the mountain peaks cast dark shadows over a cold night sky, 160 teams will line up at the base of the Crested Butte ski area, their poles digging into the hard earth and their headlamps serving as the only source of light for the next seven hours.

Among them, the amateur family team of Kevin and Kylie Collins confidently moves forward with only a cursory awareness of what’s to come.

“When I reach the moment in the race where my legs feel like jelly, my body is shivering, I’m mentally drained, my breath is short and my eyes are slowly fading into the darkness in front of me, I will likely be thinking that the next time Kylie suggests something like this, I should opt to be a spectator and cheer her on,” Kevin Collins said. “Oh, and a glass of Zinfandel and some chocolate would be a nice touch, too.”

MANDATORY GEAR FOR THE RACERS This might give you a clue into what the racers have to face along the way.

Racers must carry gear to allow them to survive 24 hours in the backcountry under the worst conditions. No evacuations are provided for racers with broken gear, and no outside support is allowed.

• Skis, boots and poles • Avalanche beacon • Avalanche shovel • Probe pole • Climbing skins • Ski leashes (required to descend Aspen Mountain) • Equipment repair kit

• Sleeping pad • Sleeping bag or down jacket with heavyweight fleece pant • Wind shell and pants • Extra clothing • Two-person shelter • Headlamp • GPS tracking device

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

by MARY ESHBAUGH HAYES

THE FLAMINGO 500 PARENTS, TEACHERS and other school district supporters attended the Aspen Education Foundation’s annual fundraiser in November at the Viceroy Snowmass.

Called the “Flamingo 500,” the event had a goal of making up the 500 per child deficit the Aspen School District lost in state MARY funding for the 2011-12 ESHBAUGH HAYES school year.

According to AEF interim director Robin Hamill, the event raised 225,000 or the local public schools through ticket sales, a silent and live auction, and “the generosity of the community and hard-working volunteers.” Plans are already in the works for next November’s “Flamingo” party, with the exact date venue still to be determined.

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | DENVER

by COLLEEN O’CONNOR from THE DENVER POST

A TRIP TO DENVER TO SEE A VENDING MACHINE WORD IS FAST SPREADING about the first Art-O-Mat to come to Colorado — the retired cigarettevending machine that dispenses 5 art is a popular draw at Access Gallery in the Santa Fe arts district.”One woman came down from Frisco,” said gallery director Damon McLeese. “She runs a bookstore there and asked a customer what she should do on a free afternoon in Denver, and heard about what artists were doing here.”

There are more than 100 Art-OMat machines across the country, vending cigarette-pack-size fine art from locations as diverse as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and a Whole Foods Market in Houston. The craze started in 1997, when North Carolina artist Clark Whittington got the idea to convert a recently banned cigarette-vending machine into a retro-chic method for dispensing palm-size art at affordable prices. More than a decade later, the Art-O-Mat machines are still in demand. Twenty were installed in 2010, double the number of 2009.

Last year, 16 new machines went into service. Half the machine is stocked with work by professional artists from Colorado and around the country.

The other half is filled with pieces created by teens with disabilities who participate in the workshops and programs at Access. Artists receive 50 percent of the sale. Artist Phil Bender, who founded the contemporary art gallery Pirate in Denver, has already sold out an edition of his work. He’s busy making more. “I think it’s a great idea,” he said. “It’s better for you than cigarettes.”

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE

BOOK REVIEW

GENTLEMAN PRACTICE POETRY IS USUALLY a dark art, one performed for small crowds and, in print form, even less readers.

Forgive me, but Buddy Wakefield deserves a little better showing. His book of poems published in 2011, “Gentleman Practice,” was sitting unaccompanied on the shelves of Tattered Cover during a recent trip to the Front Range, and it was not alone for long, soon finding a spot in my bookbag.

It was for good reason. From page 1, it became obvious that Mr. Wakefield enjoys form, evident in how he organized the poems, and how he built an ebb and flow of long and short-form pieces like a musician would when organizing a concert set list —mostly to ensure variety builds interest.

by MIKE NOTHNAGEL AND BYRON WALDEN

REAR-END COLLISIONS

NOTEWORTHY Refreshingly, Mr. Wakefield understands that traditional books of poetry — the endless pages of form and mostly blank pages — have been done, and so he avoids such conventions. After all, one of the jobs of the poet is to reinvent language and form when needed, and while Mr. Wakefield is not doing anything too revolutionary, the combination of his voice and his choice of form gave me a sense that he is, at least, working to refresh an old, stodgy medium.

In his book, headlines blend into lines and line breaks turn into actual pictures — in one case, a group of people included in the poem — and by the end of the book, the satisfaction arrives more along the lines of having finished a novel than any sort of “collection”. For example,

one short-form piece, which acts more as a transition than any attempt to let the poem stand alone, is just one sentence: “When there’s a mountain standing in my way, it’s not personal.” It’s a wall sign with a dash of poetry.

But there are long, thoughtful and personal poems as well, if you are a traditionalist. And if you have not picked up a poetry book in a while, you might be surprised at where poetry has driven to in the past two decades, and at the good things that can happen when nobody is looking. rslabaugh@aspentimes.com
