MMAC
Publication continues evolving at start of second decade FRONT RANGE The MMAC Monthly begins its 11th year and second decade of publication with the printing of this January issue. We are excited to continue offering the residents and visitors to our Front Range mountain communities an engaging mix of editorial content, extensive calendar listings and information about the events, businesses and culture found in this region of Colorado. The paper began its life as Mountain Music, Arts & Culture, and was inserted in a local newspaper for most of its first five years. Since September 2012, it has
been an independent, locally-produced product and undergone numerous changes, including a complete redesign and shortening of its name. Over the past five years, its content and distribution has also been expanded. We work hard to celebrate the arts, events and lifestyle found in our mountain communities while highlighting what brings these rural, isolated areas together. The publication focuses on the region’s food, arts, music and culture with an emphasis on previewing activities, rather than reporting what was missed. We promote the entire region and its of-
ferings, while helping draw attention to the world-class annual events, festivals, musicians, artists, restaurants and attractions that call this area home. As the MMAC Monthly begins its sixth year as an independent publication, readers will notice design changes and content additions. Throughout the year, the publication’s design will evolve and additional features will be added as it continues to serve the region with its most extensive arts, entertainment and lifestyle coverage. During these times of political and social division, keep in mind the words and wisdom of Martin Luther King, Jr. on the holiday dedicated to him, Jan 15. Consider adopting King’s values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service. As the civil rights leader once said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Eldora, preservation groups agree to plan BOULDER COUNTY A two-year collaborative process between Boulder County, the Sierra Club, the Middle Boulder Creek Coalition, and Eldora, resulted in a historic agreement to a Statement of Principles that paves the way for the resort to preserve lands above Middle Boulder Creek, develop new intermediate terrain and lift access, and minimize impacts to Nordic skiing and backcountry access. The result of the community-based effort is a framework that will guide future www.mmacmonthly.com
development and land preservation in and around Eldora in a way that protects wilderness and recreation areas for future generations. “POWDR is focused on developing its properties, including Eldora, in a way that is consistent with each community’s core values and vibe, so our partnership with Boulder County, the Sierra Club, the Middle Boulder Creek Coalition, and the Nordic community came naturally,” Brent Tregaskis, Eldora’s president and general manager, said.
Using the agreed upon Statement of Principles as its guide, Eldora plans to work with the U.S. Forest Service and other impacted parties on next steps for the Jolly Jug area’s chairlift, terrain, and associated facilities. This news comes on the heels of Eldora unveiling its new Alpenglow high-speed six-person chairlift earlier this season.

TROUT STEAK REVIVAL - SPIRIT TO THE SEA
E
ver since winning the 2014 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition, Trout Steak Revival has quickly become the quintessential Colorado string band. Defined more by expressive songwriting and heartfelt harmonies rather than any one genre, Trout Steak Revival crosses over and blends the folk, indie, bluegrass, and roots evoking its own style of Americana. NOTE The band’s latest studio album, “Spirit To The Sea,” WORTHY was released in November and expands the act’s repertoire beyond Colorado bluegrass without leaving behind the communal nature of the band’s origins. The new album is more diverse and inviting than their past recordings with many different tones, vibes, and topics underlying the songs. Songs crafted out of love, fear, heartbreak, wonder, joy, and freedom provide a glimpse into the soulful depth of the individual members of Trout Steak Revival. “Spirit To The Sea” was produced by Chris Pandolfi of the Infamous Stringdusters. All songs on the album are performed by Trout Steak Revival except for the Shook Twins who also perform on “They Sang to Us.” The album was recorded at Mighty Fine Productions in Denver, mixed by Xandy Whitesel and mastered at Airshow, Inc. in Boulder. Album art is by McCormick Photos & Design. Visit www.troutsteak.com to purchase the CD or learn more.

Benefit brings string bands to Keystone
SUMMIT COUNTY Celebrating its seventh year, Keystone’s Winter Bluegrass Weekend, Feb. 2-3, brings acoustic roots and mountain culture to Warren Station at Keystone by featuring some of Colorado’s most talented string bands. In addition to the live music, drink specials will be served all weekend. Tickets are BLUE$15-$25 and help benefit the Dercum GRASS Center for the Arts and Humanities. Friday night’s line up kicks off with the “cheeky and irreverent” music of Breckenridge’s The Pine Beatles at 7 p.m. and “Western roots rock” of Coal Town Reunion at 8 p.m. Boulder’s Tenth Mountain Division headlines the first night at 9:45 p.m. with its electrified bluegrassbased rock. Founders Winston Heuga, on mandolin and MJ Ouimette on electric and acoustic guitars, originally sought to create an acoustic bluegrass outfit. After a few years dedicated to playing bluegrass, they moved on to an electrified, rock sound, but maintains “roots in the American musical styles of rock, Americana, bluegrass, prog and the crossroads between them all.” On Saturday, the party continues with a mix of traditional bluegrass and original music from Steel Pennies at 7 p.m. and the Ginny Mules, featuring vocal harmonies and a high lonesome sound, at 8 p.m. The second night headliner is Chain Station, a Denver-based bluegrass band founded in 2006 when Alex Thoele and Jon Pickett met while playing guitars around a campfire on a mountain near Estes Park. The band’s music is well-steeped in Americana roots, with vocal harmonies that are high, lonesome, and tight. Their picking ranges from lightning-fast to mountain mellow. They are a bluegrass band that would satisfy a picky old-timer and delight fans of newgrass. The Dercum Center for the Arts and Humanities takes its conceptual inspiration from the lives of respected Colorado pioneers, Max and Edna Dercum, whose spirit of adventure and enthusiasm for pursuing new, bold endeavors helped them shape the history of Summit County. Warren Station at Keystone is located at 164 Ida Belle Dr. in Keystone. Visit www.dercumcenter.com and warrenstation.com or call 970-423-8992 to learn more. Tickets are available at Warren Station or online.

Well-known big-wall climber Quinn Brett was paralyzed in a climbing fall in October.
ESTES PARK andstands for Quinn, an evening of films, food, drinks and prizes, directly benefits Estes Park resident Quinn Brett, 37, to help in her recovery from a recent fall that left her paralyzed from the waist down. The event, Jan. 13 from 5-10:30 p.m., is designed to be an “incredible night of fun and entertainment.” Admission includes a TED Talk by climber Tommy Caldwell, a party with food and drink, the world’s premiere climbing film festival, a silent auction and “epic” raffle with tens of thousands of dollars of prizes. Free beer is included thanks to numerous donated kegs from breweries across Colorado. Brett was introduced by chance to rock climbing at a young age and completely embraced the physical and mental aspects of the sport. For 20 years she traveled the planet, exploring summits and valleys, and climbing, hiking, practicing yoga, and laughing throughout the beautiful nooks of the world. She is a certified Wilderness EMT and holds

a Master’s Degree in Educational Psychology as well as a Colorado teaching certificate. According to event organizers, “she snorts when she laughs and loves doing handstands on outrageous mountain summits worldwide.” After more than a decade in the mountain town, Brett has become an integral part of the Estes Park and climbing community. She works as a climbing ranger each summer, rescuing injured hikers and climbers from the backcountry in Rocky Mountain National Park. She’s also been inspiring outdoor enthusiasts for more than a decade with mindboggling ascents around the world. The accomplished big-wall climber was injured, Oct. 11, when she took a 100-foot-fall halfway up Yosemite’s El Capitan and landed on a ledge while attempting a speed ascent of The Nose. She broke four ribs, shattered her scapula and suffered a fracture of her T12 vertebrae. As a result, she’s paralyzed from the waist down. Continued on page 10

St. Vrain Ave. in Estes Park, the event is being produced with the help and support of the REEL ROCK film crew, The Access Fund and many other industry and community supporters. The benefit will also serve as Estes Park’s premiere of the REEL ROCK film festival, now in it’s 12th season. Four films about “inspiring athletes pushing their limits” will be screened. Donate directly to Brett at www.youcaring.com/ quinnbrett-980578 or e-mail her brother at Cory4Quinn@gmail.com for other ways to give.

Off to the Races
Ice-racing club holds winter events on Georgetown Lake GEORGETOWN or more than 40 years, members of the Our Gang 4 Wheelers—a self-described “little band of weirdoes”—have been holding races on ice, and having a ton of fun doing it. Except for its first three years, the club’s events have occurred on Georgetown Lake. Its members, many of whom have had relatives involved for decades, consist of volunteers who join to help put on the ice races, organize the events and attend meetings. Membership is not required to take part in events during their six weekend season. Just follow the rules, pay the $20 fee and it’s off to the races. Even better, spectators can show up anytime to observe the action for free on the ice. This season is scheduled to begin with a “Fun Day for Practice,” Jan. 12, and continues with racing on Saturdays and Sundays, Jan. 13-14, Feb. 3-4, Feb. 24-25 and March 3-4. A second “Fun Day for Practice” is March 2. Warm weather changes everything, so check the group’s website to confirm activities. The Our Gang races have three divisions: competition, professional street and street. There are separate races for men and women. A wide range of cars, from normal allwheel-drive street vehicles to extremely modified Jeeps with studs and “cheaters,” can participate. “On Sundays, we have the most popular class for beginners and that’s just regular street cars racing heads

up with regular tires,” Our Gang President Lisa Bashline Lannerd explained. “From there, you can step up through the ranks. We have the Street Class—street cars with street tires—but then we have the Pro Street Class. It’s street cars, but they are starting to advance their competitiveness and buying special ice driving tires or studded tires. Then, you can keep going all the way up to my class, which is purpose-built race cars with the tires and a lot of experience behind the wheel.” She says, to begin, if you have a street car with regular tires, all-wheel-drive, a driver’s license and pay the fee, you can participate. For those not into racing or driving on the ice at high speeds, it’s free to watch others do it, and it’s surprisingly entertaining. “We are just off the highway, and you
can come see a really unique sport,” Lannerd said, “but, you also still get to be outside in Colorado in the winter time. It’s just something you can cross off your bucket list. You get to walk on a frozen lake and watch some crazy people racing cars.” There is also the competitive aspect. “You can watch that lap and that finish between those two drivers and the advancing of the brackets,” Lannerd explained. “I think that’s an exciting element for people to watch as well. It’s not just numbers on a board or anything like that. It has that drag racing or NASCAR feeling and has that ‘heads up’ competitiveness to it.” Visit ourgangiceracing.com for more information and complete details for racers and spectators.
