Godfrey’s story has not been filtered or rewritten by the team here, and we wanted our readers to know that, too. It is his story, truly, almost exactly as it appeared in our inbox.

Secondly, we trust that the details we could not confirm are true based on the author’s close involvement with the story and relationships with sources.

Thirdly, and most importantly, we want to thank the author for the time and care spent with a very personal narrative and for the time spent with us to ensure we get this right. His family, lost in the plane crash 38 years ago, still has a lesson to share, and Godfrey’s piece in this edition is only a starting point. We wish him all the luck. rslabaugh@aspentimes.com

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

VOX POP Who was your childhood hero?

with JOHN COLSON

Rush Limbaugh helps the Dems, one evil slur at a time EVERYONE WHO believes that Rush Limbaugh has a heart, stand up and genuflect to the gods of hyperbole and hate.

Thank you for your honesty, if not your intelligence, both of you.

For those who haven’t been reading the news lately, it will amuse you to learn that dear ol’ Rush recently labeled — or should that be libeled?

— Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke as a “slut” and a “prostitute” for advocating a requirement that insurance companies cover the cost of birth control pills.

As with any Limbaugh broadcast, this one had its funnier moments, such as when he got so carried away with himself that he started in on Fluke’s fellow students at the “law screwel.” He did not correct himself, but he usually doesn’t, so there is no clear evidence as to whether it was an intended sleight or just a matter of his tongue galloping along faster than his brain.

Which, of course, brings up the question of whether Rush does, in fact, have a brain. But that’s for an entirely different column.

Anyway, after Rush poured out his bile all over poor Ms. Fluke, the resulting uproar tripped a call for a boycott against any advertisers for his show.

And, apparently, a few advertisers decided they needed good will among their customer base more than they needed Rush, and pulled their ads. These included Legal Zoom, Citrix Success, Heart and Body Extract, AutoZone and Quicken Loans, according to published reports.

That got his attention as nothing else would, and he apologized to Ms. Fluke. Sort of. You can read it online yourself and decide if he really did apologize.

With a bit more research, you can also decide for yourself whether Rush actually is helping the Democratic Party, one nasty slur at a time.

I should note, right here, that I am ambivalent about devoting any ink at all to Rush Limbaugh. I consider him to be a greedy blowhard who has been milking the ignorance

and gullibility of a vast number of Americans for years to feed his own bad habits.

I mean, this is the guy who rants endlessly about putting any and all “drug users” in jail and throwing away the key, even while he was busy popping prescription medications liberally and illegally. His addiction to oxycodone and hydrocodone is well known, as is the fact that he was indicted for “doctor shopping,” a practice of finding multiple doctors who would write prescriptions for him in order to keep the flow of his illegal meds at a sufficiently high and uninterrupted rate.

This also is the guy who has been married four times, most lately at the age of 59 to a 33-year-old babe named Kathryn Rogers.

I don’t begrudge his multiple marriages, although I am surprised his listeners don’t, given the religious and intolerant attitudes that seems to adhere both to them and him.

I mean, just being married several times, to successively younger and increasingly alluring women, is not proof of moral turpitude, though he would likely call it so if one of his enemies did it.

And the fact that he has not fathered any children might be a sign of trouble with his virility, or it could be that his wives have decided they need to be more careful about conception than they or he would ever admit.

But that’s all his business.

What I begrudge is his hypocrisy and his willingness to use halftruths and outright lies to pump up his listeners’ confusion, anger and frustration, all the while pumping up his own bank account and helping to destabilize the nation’s politics.

But he may have gone too far this time, with his bluster and his bile.

The very fact that he “apologized” at all might be due to alarm among his Republican mentors, and a feeling that Rush might be hurting his party’s cause and helping that satanic, socialistic Muslim, Barack Obama, win the 2012 election.

We can only hope.

HISTORIC DAY ON ASPEN MOUNTAIN

MAN REPLACES POT WITH YOGA

The Aspen Skiing Co. was able to open the most terrain ever on the mountain on March 7, in the neighborhood of 705 acres, spokesman Jeff Hanle said. In addition to the 675 acres that are typically available for skiing and riding, Skico was able to open all of its gated terrain, as well, he said.

“Everything was open. That’s a big thing. A lot of people thought we’d never get the snow,” Hanle said.

More than 2 feet of recent snow allowed Skico to open all of the traditionally gated areas on Aspen Mountain: Bingo Glades, Trainor’s and Cone Dump 1 and 2.

Former Snowmass Village resident Vaughn Barnett said he once lived life in a marijuana-induced haze until he discovered the benefits of yoga at Pitkin County Jail. The jailtime yoga classes helped him clear his mind and also helped influence a judge on Monday to sentence him to four years of probation for having 11 pounds of marijuana mailed to a post-office box in Snowmass Village.

“I am really giving you a huge break,” Pitkin County District Judge Gail Nichols told Barnett at the sentencing hearing. Nichols also sentenced Barnett, 28, who has served about 130 days in custody, to an additional 30 days in county jail.

gas, which is found in our neighboring county, and we are wondering where the real debate is about the switch. We understand the increased costs to convert from diesel, and that bus fees might increase as a result — but with alternatives to natural gas like forced engagement with Iran, filthy pipelines from Alaska and war, who needs them.

CHEERS | To Betty Shurin — aka Betty Hoops — for reminding us all why we love to live here. She and her team are entering the Hollywood Marathon in April, meaning she has to stroll 13.1 miles with her Hula Hoop, and make more than 3,500 rotations. Lest we not get too sentimental, Betty’s actions confirm that free spirits still are alive and well in the city. Please forgive us for checking from time to time.

Barnett, in an interview with The Aspen Times last year, said he was a licensed medical-marijuana distributor and the contents within the package sent to the post-office box were “all trim from a legal marijuana grow in California.”

The Power of Four Ski Mountaineering Race was far from over, however.

After falling behind two teams, including Gunnison duo and reigning champions Brian Smith and Bryan Wickenhauser, the Aspenites used their alpine skills to catch up and eventually seize the lead on the final descent down Aspen Mountain.

The 25-year-old Gaston twins won the second Power of Four race with a time of 5 hours, 28 minutes, 23 seconds. The race, which climbs more than 11,000 feet and descends about 12,500 feet, began at 6:30 a.m. and covered nearly 25 miles across Aspen’s four ski areas.

“I’m stoked that some local guys won it,” Pete Gaston said. “It’s a pretty intense race.”

GUEST OPINION COLUMN

by WENDY BEYE of WRITERS ON THE RANGE

Mountain parents: On the road, again and again LAST WEEKEND my husband and I drove 300 miles, roundtrip, to watch two of our young granddaughters compete in a giant slalom event at the nearest ski area.

It was a typical trip. We arose at 5:30 a.m. in order to arrive in time to watch the girls carve down the intimidating run in 49 seconds each, give or take a hundredth of a second or so. It was over in the blink of an eye.

As we headed home to feed the mules before dark, glissading through drifting snow on the narrow highway, I pondered the dedication of hundreds of parents and grandparents who follow their youngsters from event to event across the state. What leads these normally sane people to risk life and limb on treacherous roads? The answer: in the Rocky Mountain West, high school sports are the

elixir that makes the long, boast a high school are dark winter bearable in few and far between small towns scattered here, so athletes spend across vast spaces. many hours on buses in First come football and the rare good weather girls’ volleyball; then, as and the much more temperatures drop and the frequent bad weather. wind chill plummets to Our local team, the WENDY BEYE sub-zero, basketball (for Roundup Panthers, both sexes) and wrestling makes trips each winter give the cheering crowds to Forsyth (102 miles a chance to thaw out their hands and away), Harlowton (68 miles), Harlem feet in sweaty gymnasiums.

At game’s end, the crowd pours out of the gymnasium. Breath freezes in midair, scrapers chisel ice from windshields, snow squeaks underfoot, engines reluctantly cough to life, and the exodus begins.

Home may be more than four hours away through darkness broken only by an occasional ranch yard light.

We’ve learned to travel prepared for emergencies. We carry blankets, thermoses full of coffee, high-energy snacks, shovels for digging our way out of drifts, Sorel boots, mufflers, hats, down coats, and anything else we can think of that might help us survive a catastrophe.

It’s a matter of feeling your way along. If your pickup truck begins bucking like a bronco, you may very well have wandered off the road into a wheat field. Somehow we almost always arrive intact, and the adrenaline gradually subsides as we join the community of kids and their supporters.

Once in awhile, a stay-at-home parent’s worst nightmare becomes a reality. Not long ago, district championship games for both boys and girls’ basketball were being played around the state. A carload of boys’ basketball players from Superior was heading home on icy roads after rooting for the girls team in Hamilton, 103 miles away.

The driver of an oncoming pickup truck lost control of her vehicle, crashed into the boys’ SUV, and after the bumper-car melee ended, ambulances shuttled everyone involved to the nearest hospital.

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, but no doubt the parents suffered more than a few hours’

CLASSIC ASPEN

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

When miners stripped Bell Mountain of trees, Spar Gulch was plagued by avalanches.

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH Throughout the 19th century, locals referred to the winter of 1884

as “the winter of the heavy snowfall.” Big snow came frequently enough to confuse years, but 1884 stuck in memory because that year 12 men died in snow slides.

At 6 p.m. on March 10 of that year, the most devastating slide in Aspen’s history buried the shaft house of the Vallejo Mine on Aspen Mountain. Two simultaneous slides converged from opposite directions during a horrible storm. Snow slid from about 200 feet above the shaft and pushed 30 feet of snow against the walls of a log building.

The pressure crushed the building — three men were maimed, and four were killed.

When snow filled the 100-foot shaft, 11 miners were working on two levels. The men at the bottom level, about 20 feet away from the bottom of the shaft, were sprayed with snow, but the air pocket in that confined space kept the snow from pushing them to the back of their tunnel. They were lucky to have plenty of air to breathe, and fortuitously a ladder had been constructed just days before that connected their location to an ore body above, which offered them a possible escape route.

After widening a small hole

between levels, they joined Captain Thatcher (one of Aspen’s more successful mining men and Vallejo’s mine superintendent) and owners of a neighboring mine who were

Workers from a mine above the Vallejo experienced a smaller slide at the end of the day shift as they

inspecting the ore body. Far from the shaft, they had been unaware of the snow slide.

After discovering snow had filled the shaft, they frantically began digging up the shaft. It took them three hours to clear a route through 70 feet of snow. They reached the surface about the time rescuers

left for town.

As they passed the Vallejo, they noticed the buried shaft house. They sounded the alarm, summoning more than 100 men, who grabbed shovels and hurried to the scene. By midnight they freed the survivors in the shaft and pulled out the injured who

had been pinned by heavy timbers inside the shaft house for hours.

On the same fateful day, another slide in the Conundrum Valley buried five men in a cabin in Carey’s Camp. The snow slid down the full length of the valley side in a slide that was a mile long and 300 feet wide. It crossed the creek and then buried the cabin.

The night shift apparently decided not to work that evening due to the severe storm, and the day shift had returned for dinner.

When the slide swamped the cabin, tearing off the roof, the miners were killed instantly.

One victim still had his tobacco pipe in hand. Because few ventured out during the storm, it was not until three days after the slide that passers-by discovered that the cabin was covered by 30 feet of snow. For years after, on the anniversary of the 1884 catastrophe, newspapers recounted the event in detail, including survivors in interviews.

With that constant reminder, whenever snow rapidly accumulated, extraordinary precaution prevailed.

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.

AIRPLANE BURNED

1926 LT. D.F. K E A R N S

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY

“AIRPLANE BURNED” read a headline in the evening addition of The Aspen Times on Oct. 1, 1926. “This afternoon about 2:45 the natives were given the novel experience of seeing an airplane circle over Aspen, and head down the valley. Shortly afterwards word came to the city that the place had landed out near the cemetery and was afire.

Lieut. D. F. Kearns was the pilot of the plane carrying Mr. Parsons on his tour of the college football games, having taken in Laramie, Wyo., Bozeman, Mont., Logan and Salt Lake City.

Today they were headed for Gunnison. The compass went out of commission and they were forced off course hitting Aspen where the gas supply was exhausted and forced landing was made by ‘pancaking’ to the earth.

“Both men are Lieutenants in the 120th Observation Squadron, Colorado National Guard and it is lucky, very lucky, that both escaped with their lives.”

WINEINK

WORDS to DRINK BY

by KELLY J. HAYES

NEW BELGIUM PULLS INTO THE PULLMAN THERE WAS A TIME, not all that long ago, when wine dinners were pretty stuff y affairs. Large wineries with big budgets would take over a red banquet restaurant, invite a bunch of wealthy collectors and pour some wines that weren’t available to the general public.

Ah, but times have changed.

Today, winemakers travel regularly to meet and greet their fans, hosting a multitude of communal dinners where they pour their wares hoping to win KELLY J. hearts and influence HAYES customers. Spirit makers have gotten into the act and things like “Whisky Dinners” are proving popular. And a group that knows a good thing when it sees it, the craft brewers, are now putting on events that are as fun and tasty as they are informative.

So with great anticipation this past week, I pointed my wheels toward Glenwood Springs and The Pullman for a meal accompanied by beers from New Belgium Brewing (NBB). Peter Bouckaert, a Belgian by birth and now the New Belgium brewmaster extraordinaire (that is his title, but for the life of me I can’t locate the source of said designation), brought some deliciously unique pours to pair with the food of chef John Little.

To start, if you have not been to The Pullman, then you gotta put it on your list of things to do. Right near the top in fact. Restaurant impresario (though he no doubt will disdain that description as he is first, foremost, and last, a chef ) Mark Fischer has done it once again. After having created six89 and Phat Thai, two distinctly special restaurants that served as cornerstones for the ’Bondale revival, he turned his attention to a brick building across from the Amtrack station in Glenwood. There he opened what is certainly the best restaurant between Vail and Aspen and one that some are calling the best on the western slope. (See John Mariani’s list of the Best New Restaurants of 2011 in last November’s issue of Esquire magazine.) It is as comfortable as a pair of your favorite jeans and yet

P H OTO S F R O M N E W B E L G I U M B R E W E RY / E L I Z A B E T H AT K I N S O N

it serves up sophisticated takes on casual cuisine at affordable prices.

New Belgium, of course, is one America’s great success stories.

Founded in a basement by home brewer Jeff Lebesch in 1991, it has grown to become not just one of the most successful craft-brewers but a paragon in the sustainable business community. There are so many things to like about New Belgium — employee ownership, their bicycles, their commitment to green energy — that sometimes the fact they are passionate about making full-flavored beers gets lost.

Nothing was lost on this Leap Day night at The Pullman. While the kitchen staff, with Mark and John at the helm, toiled to put out plate after plate of perfection (diver scallops with crunchy shallots, impossibly thinly sliced duck breast that cried out for a glass of Pinot Noir, a roast quail with a savory bread pudding that was soft on the inside and crisp all around, and rabbit, sausage and ham roulade — hungry yet?) Peter made the rounds of tables talking about the beers.

There was no Fat Tire on this night. Rather, Peter brought beers that, though available, are made in smaller quantities and are truly brewed out of love for people who love beers.

We began with a pair of what New Belgium designates as their “Seasonal Beers,” a clean, crisp DIG Pale Ale with the scallops that was brewed with a Japanese hop called a Soracha Ace. Then, in keeping with the bounty of our storm-filled week, we indulged in the aptly named Snow Day Winter Ale. Paired with the afore-mentioned duck breast, this big, dark, malty beer was a meal in itself. A little nutty on the nose, the Snow Day evokes feeling as much as it does taste. It makes the day feel dark cold and wintry.

A Belgian IPA from the NBB Explore Series followed, served with the meaty roast quail and bread pudding. What makes an IPA, a Belgian IPA, I asked Peter? Um, duh, it is made with Belgian yeast and hops of course.

That leads us to the evening’s most interesting brew, Cocoa Molé Ale, a part of what NBB calls their “Lips of Faith” series of craft beers

designed to push the envelope. No doubt the Cocoa Molé does just that.

Chocolate and caramel on the nose and in the first foray, but heat, the result of ancho, guajillo, chipotle peppers used in the brewing, comes on strong late. And lingers. This beer starts cold and finishes hot. It is like Mexican chocolate, and is probably best enjoyed for itself rather than paired with food. The couple next to us thought it was simply too much.

Too much chocolate, too much malt, too much heat. But for me, the possessor of a palate that needs to be slapped hard and often, it was a great repast.

Peter closed the meal with a toast in which he discussed his passion for creation. He noted that sculptors sculpt, painters paint, and that as a brewmaster, his art is brewing. His goal, he said, was simple: “To provide you with ten minutes of pleasure.”

Thanks to Mark, John, Peter and all at The Pullman that evening. Our ten minutes lasted three hours.

Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soonto-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and a black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@ wineink.com.

The Pullman offers several varieties of beer to go along with Chef John Little’s dishes.

EOTO BRINGS ITS LIVETRONICA TO BELLY UP

EOTO, the duo of Michael Travis, left, and Jason Hann, performs Thursday, March 15, at Belly Up.

NEED TO KNOW EOTO THURSDAY, MARCH 15 9 P.M. BELLY UP

PHOTO COURTESY TSUNAMI PUBLICITY

IN THE MID’S, after the Colorado jam band String Cheese Incident would finish its rehearsals, the band’s two drummers, Michael Travis and Jason Hann, would routinely linger in the studio to carry on the music-making. Rather than just be two percussionists banging on things, the two added a heavy electronic element to the proceedings. For inspiration, they looked to DJs, and to bands like Sound Tribe Sector 9 and Lotus, who played live instruments but used computer effects for an electronic feel. Looping sounds, discovering and experimenting with new gadgets, spontaneously creating grooves and tunes, the two could keep themselves happily engaged through the small hours.

“After that, it was just wondering whether other people would like it too,” Hann said.

As it turns out, the timing could not have been better. Just as String Cheese Incident was about to take a break — they would not tour for all of 2007 — a new wave of electronic dance music was in its earliest stages. Travis and Hann had launched their side project — EOTO, an afterthought named for their debut album, “Elephants Only Talk Occasionally” — in 2006, and when String Cheese went on hiatus, the drummers were free to take it fulltime. Yes, people liked it — the idea of making music with computers, sounds that were more electronic than organic, and an emphasis on beats and noises rather than songs and voices, was in vogue among young people. And Travis and Hann brought something of their own to the electronic scene: Having come from the jam-band world, where live instruments reigned, the two

were able to meshed in-the-moment jamming with electronic sounds.

“The electrified live playing groups were all getting established fast,” Hann said. “It seemed like diving into that style was going to be relevant to what was going on in music at the time.”

To keep their music truly fresh, EOTO also laid down a rule: all improvisation, all the time. Each gig would not only have no set list; there would be nothing composed in advance. Travis was already doing this in another side project of his, Zilla, and as Travis and Hann lived far from one another — Travis in Colorado, Hann in Southern California — making up music on the spot when they hit the stage was more logistically feasible than getting together for writing sessions.

“That was great — we didn’t have to practice. But also, with no pre-

recorded music, no songs, no set list, that’s the thing that lets us grow and turn on a dime. We can say, OK, what we did last night — we’re not going to do that tonight. That winds up being a really fun journey. Nobody knows what you’re going to do next.”

EOTO’s summer will be spent on big stages: the Wanee festival in Florida, the Wakarusa in Arkansas, the Mountain Jam in upstate New York. To warm up, they have the Bass Invaders tour, which hits such spots as the Georgia Theatre in Athens and the Electric Factory in Philadelphia.

The tour opens Thursday, March 15, at Aspen’s Belly Up — but without the Lotus Sculpture, a 17-foot flower that the duo plays inside of, while video projections are cast on the outside. EOTO will have their visual artist, Zebbler, with them in Aspen to add a visual component to the show.

HANN, WHO IS , grew up in Miami with piano lessons and membership in a boys choir. As he got older, he spent more time with his father: Harry Hann, or Captain Harry — “something of a Jimmy Buffett-type character,” according to Hann. “And his drummers were some of the best in the country. I’d see that night after night, so I learned really quickly.”

Hann went to a performing arts school in South Florida for his final two years of high school, and got a first-rate education; the instructors were from Miami’s thriving Latinpop scene. After a stint in the Navy, beginning in 1987, Hann became immersed in the music world, touring with Isaac Hayes, recording with Youssou N’Dour, performing at raves around San Diego, adding the accompaniment of live drums to DJ sets. In 1994, he made the acquaintance of Michael Travis; a full decade later, Travis asked Hann to sit in on a String Cheese Incident date in L.A. “I said, ‘What should I bring?’ He said, ‘Bring everything.’ He hinted String Cheese might be looking for another person,” Hann recalled. After sitting in for half the show, Hann found himself doing a few String Cheese shows in Las Vegas, then a full tour, then as a full member of the group.

In 2006, Hann and Travis formed EOTO; the following year, prompted

by String Cheese’s hiatus, they put together their first tour. From the outset, they knew the side project would be nothing like String Cheese’s jammy mix of bluegrass and groove.

“We’re not the main songwriters in the band. We’re not going to put together another String Cheese-like group,” said Hann, who plays live and

electronic drums, and sings in EOTO, while Travis plays synthesizers, bass, guitar and a bit of percussion during the nightly drums section. “We’d have to put something else together, play our butts off and see what the audience response would be.”

Hann had an inkling that electronic music was due for its latest resurgence. In the mid-’00s, electronica — mainly the breakbeat style — had a small but passionate following. “An underground identity like punk used to be. It was the kids from a new generation,” Hann said.

He likens the current electronica swell to punk. But Hann, who was trained in jazz, brings up Miles Davis as a parallel to the way EOTO has peeked into the future of music.

“I’ve always been a big fan of that: What’s the next evolution of music going to be?” he said. “Like Miles — he’d always look to music being done in the street, by the kids. Then he’d hire a whole bunch of guys like that, like Herbie Hancock, and they’d be the new Miles Davis band. And it would use the energy of these new young guys. They’re coming up with stuff that people their age want to hear.”

Playing for a young audience has meant being flexible with the music, as trends change seemingly by the month. EOTO began playing breakbeat, with some drum and bass thrown in. But in 2008, they heard a new sound, called dubstep, which has become the rage in the electronic realm. They incorporated the style — centered around a distinctive rhythmic feel, and what is called a “wobble,” a bass line that makes a distinctive “wuh-wuh” sound — into their music, becoming, said Hann, the first live band to play dubstep in the U.S. Hann says EOTO is part of a movement on par with the introduction of the electric guitar and the resulting style of rock ‘n’ roll (which has prevailed for over half a century). “This is the first generation when all the music they’re hearing is programmed,” he said. “They’re not making a distinction between live music and programmed. They just want to hear good music and get down with it pretty hard.”

Hann points to acts like Bassnectar and Pretty Lights and says that, while they are massively popular, they are still on the fringe in a way. “It’s not pop music. It’s underground and it hits harder,” he said. “There hasn’t been a movement like that, that unifies a bunch of people around a style, in a long time. Even 23-, 24year-olds don’t get it. They say, Why are you listening to that? That’s just noise.”

AN ATTEMPT AT RECONCILIATION 38 YEARS AFTER A TRAGIC CRASH IN ASPEN, A SURVIVOR TELLS HIS STORY

by ANDY GODFREY

Special to The Aspen Times Weekly

I

don’t know if there is ever a good or “right” time to tell a story like this. It was hard, some have even said “incredible” and “miraculous,” as a boy to survive it, but I think it might be harder for a man 38 years later to recall enough of the details of it to make sense to him or anyone else. At the very least, though, for reasons unclear to me, I know I want to try now.

No one can image how excited I was on the evening of March 1, 1974, as my family prepared for our annual ski strip to Aspen. Having finally “made the cut” to go the year before, at 7 years old, I was now a returning veteran on our squad and could not wait to hit the slopes with my Schuhmacher cousins who lived in that incredible mountain paradise.

My mother, Dineen, or “Nini” to her friends, had helped me pack and had laid out the outdoor armor that I would wear into the adventure the next day: blue jeans, white turtleneck, gray sweater and, of course, the new brown hiking boots I had begged, or rather harassed, her into buying me a month before.

Hidden behind my bravado about being the fourth child, at the end of the day I was still a mama’s boy.

We had a bond that connected us in a special, indescribable way. I roomed with my 11-year-old brother, Mark, and when she came to kiss us goodnight, I thought I could see a bit of apprehension in her eyes. I thought it might be because the next morning we would be flying in a private plane for the first time. The company my dad worked for, Capital National Bank, had just bought one six months earlier. My aunt Susan Schuhmacher later told me that Mom had expressed reservations about traveling this way and would have preferred flying commercially.

A few minutes later my father, Bill, walked into the room to say goodnight and sing us “Rocky Mountain High” as he had done often over the previous two weeks as a way to get us psyched up for the trip. As I listened to the song and dreamed about the wonderful trip ahead of us, I smiled and peacefully drifted off to sleep.

NINE HUNDRED MILES away in Denver, 9-year-old Danny Schaefer was presumably as excited and I was as he prepared for a weekend family ski trip to Sunlight Mountain in Glenwood Springs. Getting away from the big city for a ski trip was the highlight of Danny’s year. As he dozed off to dream about the fun ahead of him, he thought about his favorite toy plane and smiled.

THE ALARM CLOCK went off at 7:30, and I sprang out of bed.

Showtime! After a quick breakfast with my other two older siblings, Billy and Ellen, the six of us piled into our big orange station wagon and headed to Houston’s Hobby Airport. My baby

sister, Paula, was staying behind with my grandparents. As we pulled up next to the shiny, new, orange-and-white Mitsubishi turbo prop, my excitement reached fever pitch, and I became determined to sit in the co-pilot’s seat when we took off. This train of thought was interrupted suddenly by my 14year-old brother Billy’s declaration that he would be the one sitting in that spot at takeoff. Although I was completely intimidated by my huge, supremely athletic older brother, I somehow managed to negotiate a deal with him where I would sit in that coveted position as we landed in Aspen. After my mother lined us up for a quick picture to capture the monumental moment in front of the private plane, we boarded it and settled into our seats. Mark and I ended up in the rear while Mom, Dad and Ellen took their places in the middle. The pilot, Bernard Gallaher, and of course Billy were in the front.

The three-hour flight was unfolding as unremarkable as possible for a family traveling for the first time in a private plane to a magical winter resort they adored when Bernard received a weather report that didn’t look great.

He decided to bypass a scheduled fuel stop in Albuquerque in order to beat

similar to the book “Alive,” which was just out. My father did not find this amusing and told him to keep quiet. I returned to my seat in the left rear of the plane and forgot to secure my seatbelt. As I stared out the window, a ski area came into view below. Ah, Aspen — almost there.

Soon this terrible plane ride would be over. Only it wasn’t Aspen — it was Sunlight Mountain, and we were running on fumes because of our missed refuel stop. This ride was about to turn into a nightmare.

IT WAS 3 P.M. Danny and his older brother David were riding the chairlift up Sunlight Mountain for one more run before the mountain closed for the day. Out of the corner of his eye, Danny spotted a small plane flying low and fast up the valley to his right. He was mesmerized as he followed its path. He hadn’t seen a plane for a couple of days, which was an eternity for a plane lover like he was. Danny was fascinated as he watched it move

FOR REASONS UNEXPLAINED TO THIS DAY, A FLIGHT PLAN WAS NOT FILED. THE RIDE STARTED TO GET A LITTLE BUMPY AS WE BEGAN TO DESCEND INTO WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS ASPEN. a storm bearing down on the Central Rockies. This would prove to be both a blessing and a curse as the rest of the events of that day unfolded.

For reasons unexplained to this day, a flight plan was not filed. The ride started to get a little bumpy as we began to descend into what we thought was Aspen. Unbeknownst to us at the time, although Bernard was an experienced pilot with more than 10,000 hours of flying, only a small portion of those hours had been in the mountains.

Incredibly, he was off course by 40 miles from our assumed route into Aspen.

Excited that we were almost there, I got up from my seat in the back and walked to the co-pilot’s seat to switch places with Billy. I asked him to move, and with tension that you could cut with a knife, he told me “No” and to get back to my seat. I did as I was told, and as I walked dejectedly back, he made a joke about how our flight was

through the blustery sky.

The chairlift reached mid-station.

Danny exited quickly to the right so he could continue watching the plane.

David skied up next to him and asked what run he wanted to go down when Danny’s eyes appeared to pop out of his head. The plane had disappeared into a muddled puff of snow on Williams Peak, less than a half mile across the valley from where he stood. He had seen it clearly. There was no doubt in his mind what had just happened. He quickly turned to David and exclaimed, “Oh my God! Did you see that?”

“What?” David said.

“That plane just crashed … across the valley!”

“Yeah, right,” David muttered. “You and the planes again.”

But Danny was insistent, so they decided to ski down to the bottom to find their father and older brother Doug and figure out what they needed to do next.

MY ATTENTION WAS diverted from the sight of the ground rising on the left side of the aircraft by my mother screaming, “Oh my God! We are going to crash.” My first thought was that this couldn’t possibly be happening. Next was the horrible sound of the plane tearing through the trees. I remember the sound and strange sensation of sliding roughly across the snow. Then blackness.

When I regained consciousness, I didn’t know if it was dusk or dawn. I let my eyes adjust for a minute to the diminished light. I was lying on the left side of the fuselage. The plane was split in half about four feet from me. I looked out at the surreal sight of pine trees and cold mountain sky. I tried to assess the situation. Wreckage was strewn around me. I was alive and in one piece, even able to move my legs and arms.

I looked across to the other side of the plane and saw Mark with a dreadful look of pain in his face. He was bloody and pinned beneath a set of seats. In recognizing each other, we both cried. It was a combination of fear, pain and, yes, relief. I got up and positioned myself next to him to see if I could free his anchored legs, but they were solidly pinned in place. No matter how I tried, it was useless. I huddled next to him, and then my eyes focused on the most horrifying thing any child could imagine. My mother’s limp body was lying over Mark’s feet. I looked away quickly, pretending

will never know the answer to that question. Since that day, I have made a concerted effort not to allow my mind to drift in that direction, not to dwell on how different my life would have been.

SUNDAY MORNING came

that I had not seen her there, as if that would make the scene untrue.

What in the world was I supposed to do now? Where was Dad? Surely he could help me, like he always did. The center of my entire world was lying there, lifeless. Worst of all, there was nothing I could do about it.

This woman, who had shown me more love than anyone in the world, could not possibly be gone. It just couldn’t be true. I found a couple of parkas and covered the three of us up.

Mark and I huddled and cried and hoped against reason that these horrible circumstances were only a bad dream.

AT THE BASE of Sunlight Mountain, Danny and David located their father, Dr. John Schaefer, and their older brother Doug. Danny hurriedly relayed his story to them and had to catch his breath several times before finishing.

At last he blurted out, “What are we going to do?”

Dr. Schaefer turned to David and calmly asked, “Did you see anything?”

He replied honestly, “Nope.” That was the end of that. Danny could not believe what was happening — or rather not happening. Dr. Schafer replied that he had seen the plane, too, and it looked fine to him. “Are you sure it just didn’t disappear over the horizon?” he asked.

David and Danny decided to take another run. As they rode up the lift, Danny started to cry. He couldn’t believe what had just happened.

IT WAS PITCH BLACK when I was awakened by what sounded like a low-pitched growl. My adrenaline flowed. I became completely alert at the terrifying thought of some kind of animal prowling outside the wreckage. Was it a bear? Was it a wolf? I had no idea. All I knew was that I was scared.

The growling morphed into a groan, which continued for several minutes, causing great confusion in my 8-year-old mind. Perhaps this isn’t an animal, but what could it be?

Could it be a person? If so, who? If only my dad were here to sing me

with a tremendous snowstorm barreling into the area. The Schaefer family prepared for another day on the slopes.

Danny had barely slept as his mind poured over what he had seen and what the reaction had been by his family. How could they not believe him? Were there any people still alive on that plane?

As they readied themselves, the sound of the Civil Air Patrol planes could be heard overhead, and the family realized that something horrible had happened. Danny’s eyes lit up as he looked toward his father.

“I told you I saw something, Dad!” Dr. Schaefer immediately began to process the consequences of his actions and contacted the authorities.

The Glenwood Springs police determined that Danny was a credible-enough witness to warrant an interview. Maddening to think about now, they were so busy with the search operations that they couldn’t get anyone over to interview him until that afternoon.

TO SAY I WAS in survival mode when I woke up Sunday morning, March 3, would be a gross understatement. The image of my mother’s body lying at my feet is forever seared into my memory. She was lifeless now after passing in and out of various states of consciousness during the night. To have the rock of my world lying there, never again to take care of me, was the most hopeless feeling that words can never

My heart sank to the lowest depth of the entire ordeal. Was she alive, and could I save her? I was utterly helpless in the inexperience of my young age and paralyzed by fear of the hopelessness of the situation.

I covered my ears and cried. I just wanted that horrible sound to stop.

IF ONLY Dr. Schaefer had listened to Danny and alerted officials, perhaps my mother could have been saved. I

describe. To compound the heartwrenching misery, I had to wonder, Where was Dad? Ellen? Billy? I got up and started to look for them in the 10-by-10 cubicle of debris, which had become my world.

Ellen and Dad had been sitting next to Mom during the flight. So where were they? And Billy, what had happened to him after we fought for that co-pilot’s seat? Was that, ironically, his last selfless act? I will not know in this life. However, I am convinced that I would not be here today had he moved for me.

I felt like a cat that had used one of its lives. My mind raced in confusion

as I tried to decide what to do next.

Should I go for help or hunker down and take care of Mark? He was down in spirit and frighteningly quiet now. The heavy snowfall made it impossible to flag down what I supposed to be search planes. There was little chance of them spotting us under the fresh blanket of snow.

Summoning the courage to look at my mother’s body again, I knew for certain that she was gone. There was nobody left to help me make the decision as to what to do next.

I covered her head with a nearby coat and switched into survival mode to save Mark and myself. We needed food and something to drink immediately. I rummaged through all the debris to see what I could find.

The tail section of the plane, which served as our new home, was in fairly good shape mainly because there had been no explosions upon impact due to the lack of fuel in the tank. I considered the possibility of walking for help but was convinced that was a bad idea when I took one step out of the plane and sank up to my waist in snow. This scared the crap out of me.

I flailed to get back to the relatively safe confines of the fuselage. My entire body was freezing, but I especially noticed it in my hands and feet.

Based on what I now know about The Colorado mountains in March, I would guess that the temperature had dropped into the 20s the night before, and the clothing I scrounged together had provided minimal relief.

My feet physically hurt. I began to lose sensation in my hands as I spent the rest of the day searching for food and clothing to keep Mark and me as nourished and warm as possible. My right hand was becoming a real issue due to the rope bracelet I was wearing.

It was cutting off my circulation, but my hand was too swollen to remove it. I felt uncoordinated trying to pick things up and had to resort to using my left hand more, which was equally awkward. It was later determined in the hospital that my left arm was broken. Periodically I could hear the sound of what I had now convinced myself to be search planes. However, it may have been the constant growl in my stomach. Regardless, the snowstorm was too great for anyone to spot us. This was another of the more trying moments of the whole ordeal.

I was starving and freezing. As the early symptoms of hypothermia set in, I began to fantasize about my life back in Houston. Mark was weak and getting worse. There was little I could do but try to lift his spirits. We hadn’t had a real meal since lunch the day before, and my instinct to find food kicked in. I found bags of peanuts and chips and devoured them with Mark, who was equally hungry and probably twice as scared given his complete vulnerability by being immobilized.

I found a few small bottles of liquor and downed them, not realizing the detrimental effect they would have both mentally and physically. All I knew was that it was liquid and I was parched. I ate handfuls of snow to soothe the burn caused by the liquor, not realizing this was physically taxing my body as well. About 15 minutes later, as the booze began to affect my central nervous system, things got really dicey.

I started seeing things. No longer daydreams of Houston, I would have sworn that I actually saw the brick wall of my best friend Brian Breen’s house just to the left side

ground in the exact spot from which he had seen the crash.

The helicopter landed, and he was quickly shuttled to a nearby snowcat driven by Garfield County Sheriff Ralph Baker, another cool first for Danny, as not many boys get to ride in snowcats.

The sun was shinning on this beautiful bluebird day. As the cat began its slow ascent up Sunlight Mountain, Danny began to get nervous about locating the crash site again. At mid-station, while the rescue helicopter hovered overhead, Danny walked to the spot on the ski hill he would forever remember. With the sheriff standing next to him holding a walkie-talkie, Danny confidently pointed across the valley toward Williams Peak.

The direction was radioed to the rescue team hovering above.

The helicopter zoomed across the valley as Danny held his breath and hoped for the best.

I STEPPED FORWARD TO JOIN THEM AND MET THE FROZEN REALITY OF THE HARSH, DEEP POWDER SNOW OUTSIDE. THERE WAS NO PLAYGROUND. of the fuselage. It was only 10 feet away. It was like I was playing in his driveway. Suddenly I could see him and his brothers right in front of me. I stepped forward to join them and met the frozen reality of the harsh, deep powder snow outside. There was no playground. This must be the resting place of Ellen, Billy and Dad.

THE POLICE FINALLY arrived to meet with the Schaefers around 4 p.m. They interviewed Danny for about an hour. It was determined that he was probably the best shot at locating the downed plane. They arranged to pick him up the next morning, Monday, at 7 a.m. so he could try to lead a search helicopter to our location.

Danny was excited to be going in a helicopter for the first time. More importantly, Danny was glad he would finally get the chance to help.

His father was agonizing about the decisions he had made up to that point.

Danny was awakened by the alarm at 6:30 the next morning and was soon on his way to rendezvous with the police and mountain-rescue teams. Their first thought was to get him in the air in the rescue helicopter so he could visually point out where he had seen the plane go down.

However, his excitement waned as the helicopter lifted off and his certainty about the location decreased. After an initial pass over Sunlight Mountain and the spot where he thought he was standing, he got confused. How could he not recognize the spot that had been embedded in his thoughts for the past two days? Everything looked so different from above. After a couple of passes, the suggestion was made that perhaps he would be better oriented if he stood again on the

I WOKE MONDAY morning freezing and starved. How had I made it through another night? It seemed impossible. I began attending to Mark, who was dangerously weak now and pale as a ghost. I scrounged for the last few bits of food that I had found the day before. I ate handfuls of snow to quench the bitter thirst in my mouth. My right hand was swollen to the size of a softball because the circulation had been cut off by the rope bracelet I had worn for what seemed like my entire life. I could not feel my toes. Although I had no idea what frostbite was, I was acutely aware that something was terribly wrong.

The thought of never getting out of this frozen prison crept back into my psyche and tested my will to survive.

I was on the verge of crying again when I heard the faint flutter of what sounded like a lawnmower. I looked skyward to witness the most beautiful sight I had ever seen — a helicopter! It slowly approached and then hovered directly over us. I screamed and waved as I exclaimed to Mark, “We are saved! Saved! I see a helicopter!”

I wanted to celebrate with Mark and reassure him that everything would be all right now. I begged him to hold on a little longer.

WITHIN HALF an hour a mountain-rescue team, led by Donnie Strough and Buck Brown, trudged up the hillside on foot to our location.

This advanced team began the rescue process. I was given water and food, something called a space bar, which I had never eaten. I devoured them without thinking that what I was eating was a completely foreign

substance. The next thing I knew, I was on a sled moving toward a waiting helicopter. I shouted my only worry over the noise and confusion: “What about Mark?”

The rescuers assured me they would get Mark out. They promised he would be right behind me. Now it was my turn to ride in a helicopter.

An inexplicable sense of calm mixed with excitement came over me. We lifted off.

“YOU’RE A HERO, DANNY,” was the message relayed back to the ground.

“We’ve got two survivors.” Danny was overcome with humility and relief about what he had done. He was not crazy after all. The plane had come to rest just where he remembered it. He would not realize the full impact of what he had done until many years later.

LOOKING BACK over the 38 years since these events unfolded, I realize now more than ever how lucky I am.

Thanks to my awaiting extended family in Aspen, the Schuhmachers, my life began again as they took Mark, me and our baby sister, Paula, into their home and made us part of their family. A living guardian angel, a boy about my own age that I had never met, saved my life.

My mother’s mother, Paula, or Mommy Too, would say when things looked bleak, “The lord has given us so much more than he has taken from us.” Even considering how much was taken from me in this tragedy, I still believe those words.

Danny saved me so I could go on to marry the girl of my dreams and to have four wonderful children. I resettled back in Aspen in the fall of 1998 after spending 18 years on the East Coast for schooling and work. It was like coming full circle, and I feel that I am now where I was meant to be.

I am gradually putting the pieces of this puzzle called my life together.

I felt for a long time that the corner piece would be found in tracking down Danny. It was not an easy task due to the time that had passed since the accident. But, thanks to persistence and friends at the Aspen Police Department, I was able to locate Danny in March 2011. I had to personally thank him for saving my life.

I met Danny in October for the first time in Phoenix. It was a watershed meeting filled with sadness and joy as we recounted those childhood events that shaped our lives so deeply. There

HOW THIS STORY GOT TOLD My search for the truth behind the story began with a visit to the crash site on the 30th anniversary with one of the rescue workers as our guide. I tried and failed to find Danny for the next five to six years and didn’t make a breakthrough until February 2011.

On a tip from a doctor friend, I called the Colorado Medical Records Office, because I knew Danny’s dad was a doctor, to see if I could get their last known address.

Once I had that, plus the name and age of Danny, a friend at the Police Department was able to crossreference those two pieces of info to track him down in Phoenix. I called him immediately upon getting his phone number, and we spoke for about a half an hour just getting to know each other and so I could hear his side of the story.

We then continued to stay in touch until our eventual meeting in October. The rest is history.

is little doubt in my mind that from this encounter we will remain lifelong friends.

If I could go back and rewrite that defining chapter of my life, I am sure my tangled emotions would tempt me to do so. Instead, I hope that I could rely on my experience of the 38 years since then to firmly remind me not to even pick up the pen. The accident will, of course, weigh heavily on my mind for the rest of my life.

I only have to remember where my path off of that mountain has led to know that Mommy Too’s words are ever so true.

Andy is seeking an accomplished author to help him tell the full story.

DESTINATION | POLAND

NO JOKE: 50 POLOCKS WALK ONTO A FARM, AND A SKI RESORT EMERGES JUST YEARS AGO, winter was a dead season for the Kotelnica Mountain, quiet under a quilt of snow.

Today Kotelnica vibrates with activity from countless ski fans who flock to the new resort, one of Poland’s most trendy.

The amazing transformation happened in a decade and reflects the inventiveness and spirit of enterprise seen in Poland since a market economy arrived with democracy in 1990.

This 17th-century village at the foot of the Tatra mountains in southern Poland was making a modest living on farming and sheep breeding, with some additional funds coming from relatives who had gone — in a longstanding tradition — to the United States for work.

Then, in 2000, some 50 farmers put their heads together and started up a joint venture to develop a ski resort,

NEED TO KNOW WHERE: KOTELNICA MOUNTAIN, POLAND NEARBY CITY: BIALKA TATRZANSKA POPULATION: 2,200 MILES FROM ASPEN: 8,890 Skiers sit on a chairlift ascending the Kotelnica Mountain.

similar to the ones that some of them had seen in Austria or Switzerland, when Poles were finally allowed to freely travel abroad in the 1990s.

“They thought that we should also do something like that, with equal success,” said Wladyslaw Piszczek, who is both mayor of the village and president of the ski resort venture.

Each member contributed a sum of money, while they also took a 2 million zloty (now 650,000) bank loan and bought an Italian ski lift from another community in Poland that never had it installed.

Ten years on, Bialka Tatrzanska, about an hour and a half drive from the Renaissance city of Krakow, is among Poland’s leading centers for skiers of all ages and levels, a favorite family winter sports venue, though less demanding and more modest compared to many Western European resorts.

A recent ranking of Poland’s ski centers by the Onet.pl Internet portal listed it as the country’s second most popular ski resort based on quality of slopes and other amenities. In first place was Krynica Gorska, which has

been around longer and boasts more challenging slopes.

Bialka Tatrzanska has a school employing some 80 instructors who stay busy in their black-and-orange jackets from morning until well after dark. It has six large and nine small ski lifts that take some 15,000 skiers per hour to the top of the Kotelnica and Bania mountain slopes. The longest route is 0.9 miles.

A thermal spa — built with a loan of some 80 million zlotys (26 million) — opened this season and a second hotel is under construction.

At the foot of the Kotelnica peak, the village of less than 2,000 residents now thrives on visitors who mostly lodge in private houses, eat at the inns and shop in newly-built supermarkets. Some 10,000 tourists can be accommodated at a time.

“Now all of Bialka and the entire county live off ” the ski resort, said Piszczek.

Bialka’s reputation has spread across Poland’s borders, with Russian, Ukrainian, German and even English heard on the slopes, although not much foreign publicity has been done.

LEFT Skiers make their way down Kotelnica Mountain in the village of Bialka Tatrzanska, southern Poland. The village of 2,000 residents can now accommodate up to 10,000 skiers at a time.

BELOW Low-capacity lifts like this one were common in peaceful Bialka before a group of farmers decided to buy chair ski lifts and turn Bialka with its Kotelnica Mountain into a bustling ski resort, one of the largest in Poland and in the region.

This season, a heated and canopied chairlift and two new routes were added. The plan is to soon connect the slopes of Bialka with those of Bukowina Tatrzanska, some 3 miles away, through routes and lifts.

In January and February, which is high season, prices are around 770 zlotys (250) for a 14-day pass for adults.

The SOCIAL SIDE of TOWN

by MARY ESHBAUGH HAYES

FAR OUT AT THE AQUARIUS PARTY IN MIDFEBRUARY every year, Aspenites who have birthdays in February hold their annual Aquarius Party at the Hotel Jerome, and the party grows larger every year.

It is always in costume, and this year the Aquarians celebrated the hippie years of the 1970s. The costumes were so elaborate and MARY the wigs so prevalent, ESHBAUGH HAYES you could hardly tell who was who. Took so many photos, I will include more in next week’s column.

Hosts for this year’s Aquarius Party were Alan Brooks, Sherrie Cutler and Bob Donahue, Susan and Bob Donatelli, Judi and Bob Francis, Anna-Lisa Klettenberg, Kirk Leitch, Peggy Mason, Marie and Bill Pizzluli, Loretta Derose, Janie and Jim Ellis, Billie and Greg Erwin, Linda (Harvey) Jensen, Joaney Lebach, Joanie and Lee Leavenworth, Lee Pardee, Deborah Post, and Kellene and Dwight West.

How to act around a

Perfect 10 Follow these three simple steps…

1. Call her or send her an email.

A Perfect 10!

Lorrie Winnerman was #10 in sales out of 615 Realtors in the Roaring Fork Valley last year!

Perfect, because Lorrie B. Aspen is small enough for personal service, big enough to get the job done right.

2. It’s okay to ask for a date. Ask for help with the local markets, using her 33 years of experience as a broker in Aspen and Snowmass.

3. Hang out with her. Shop around with Lorrie and chances are you will fall in love—with your dream home or building site. (Later, it’s okay to tell your friends all the details.)

NOTEWORTHY

BOOK REVIEW

THE NUCLEAR AGE PERHAPS IT IS because of the hourly updates about a nuclear Iran, scary reminders of the Cold War, but for some reason I opened up Tim O’Brien’s “The Nuclear Age” last weekend just to read the first chapter.

Now, don’t get me wrong. The entire book is worth reading, but this is a habit of any word nerd — to open up a book just to re-read a sentence, a passage or, in this case, a six-page mental rant in the voice of a guy about ready to build a bomb shelter in his back yard.

For O’Brien, the author of the classic Vietnam tale, “The Things They Carried,” his mid-80s book “The Nuclear Age” is about the inactive warfare, the one that goes on in our minds. O’Brien uses what we already know about war — the horrors, the greenish footage from Vietnam — to

add drama to the mostly mental narrative, which he creates with a tightly written and exploratory first chapter beginning with the first line, “Am I crazy?”

By immediately taking us into the mind of the book’s main subject, William Cowling, he allows us to explore many of the emasculating aspects of life in the mid-80s nuclear world. A man, tired of political parties and high school class systems and the threat of nuclear annihilation, just wants to dig a hole and be safe. His story, if told in 2012, would not need to change much.

As the story unfolds, we learn William Cowling has a conflicted family, who play both the captured audience and savior. They help steer his thinking back to sanity — a state he defines as when “one does not care

about the ending.”

His family also helps him choose between love and loneliness. When a life-threatening situation occurs later in the book between husband and wife and father and daughter, O’Brien makes a strong case for why being lonely and insane might be the safest path in the modern world, but why being sane, and in love, can be far more satisfying.

O’Brien writes: “To live is to lose everything, which is crazy, but I choose it anyway, which is sane.”
