    ITS LAST CALL at Aspen Highlands. For real this time.The extended season of two extra weekends at

    Highlands wraps up this weekend, as the Aspen Skiing Co. opens the mountain for two final days: Saturday, April 30 and Sunday May 1.

    Late spring storms and reports from the powder posse that ski patrol recently organized to ski-pack Highland Bowl indicate the snow should be in good shape. The discounted daily walk-up ticket price will be $69 for adults, $45 for children and seniors. Passholders from other resorts can present their passes for a $39 rate. More info at www.aspensnowmass.com

    ASPEN ART MUSEUM artist-in-residence Mickalene Thomas Mentors, Muses and Celebrities fills two basement galleries with fiffs on public personas and the cultural influence of black women. The multimedia show fills walls with paintings and photos of figures like Celie, from the novel The Color Purple, as portrayed in an Oscar-winning performance by Whoopi Goldberg in the 1985 film.

    In conjunction with the show, the museum will present a free screening of the film on Friday, April 29 at 7 p.m. More info at www.aspenartmuseum.org

    ROCK N ROLL ICON Graham Nash will play a much-anticipated solo gig at Belly Up Aspen on Thursday, April 28 with the classic hits and an album of new songs in tow.

    Nash, the founding member of Crosby, Stills and Nash and the Hollies, penned classics like Marrakesh Express, Our House, Teach Your Children and Just a Song Before I Go. Along with lending his tenor to Crosby, Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young), Nash has sporadically released solo material over the last 45 years, beginning with Songs for Beginners in 1971.

    Nashs new record, This Path Tonight, is his first solo effort since 2002s Songs for Survivors. It finds the rock icon doing some soul searching in the wake of his split from his wife of 38 years and the renewed rift with David Crosby thats ended Crosby, Stills & Nash for the time being.

    Three years ago, he added to the canon of great recent rock memoirs with his Wild Tales, a revealing tale of sex, drugs and rock n roll through the decades.

    The show is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Tickets are $61 for general admission and $151 for reserved seats, available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.

    The Color Purple will screen on Friday, April 29 at the Aspen Art Museum, in conjunction with the exhibition Mentors, Muses and Celebrities.

    THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

    SOME WEEKS THE NEWS rolls by so fast that its hard to keep up.

    For instance, I started this column last week in an effort to get a jump on my April 25th deadline for a column that appears today, April 28.

    But some mighty strange doings came around the bend on Sunday, forcing me to trash my early effort and start over. Serves me right for even thinking about keeping ahead of the game.

    Anyway, the latest about Donald Trump is that even one of the fabulously tone-deaf, nose-pinched Koch brothers (politically, anyway) has finally heard the martial music, smelled the feces-imbued roses, and realized that Trump is a bad bet for the country.

    Charles Koch (he has a house in Aspens West End, for those who feel we should maintain a local profile in the opinion columns) on Sunday told ABC News that neither he nor his brother, David, have given any money to finance Donald Trumps bid for the White House, and that they have no plans to do so.

    In fact, according to a story last October in The Daily Beast, the Koch brothers despise Trumps political shenanigans, his racist/misogynistic verbal antics and generally his entire persona.

    Charles also told ABC that in addition to not supporting The Donalds political ambitions, the brothers Koch also have not put any of their much-ballyhooed political treasure chest to work against him.

    Not yet, at least.Which leaves me in a rather

    puzzling conundrum.I loathe the very concept of mega-wealth,

    feeling it to be inherently undemocratic in its application to politics and its effect on our nations economy and society, and I distrust the wealthy class as a whole.

    And that, I must admit, is part of why I cannot stomach Trump and his histrionics. Hes rich enough that he can amuse himself by bulling his way into the U.S. political arena in a rude and destabilizing way, and when he doesnt win the presidency (thats my prediction, at least) he can just walk away and busy himself with becoming even richer.

    Now, if the Koch brothers, who are said to be enamored of the Libertarian view of the world, have it in for The Donald, there is part of me that feels I should be cheering them on with all my breath.

    On the other hand, it was Koch money, largely, that created the Tea Party, which has so twisted and destabilized our politics that I can scarcely stand to even mention it, preferring to call them teabaggers and leave it at that. And Trump is, I think, a natural outgrowth of the teabaggers.

    On the third hand, if the Koch brothers are kept busy helping to derail the Trump

    train, that means they might be too distracted to do much other damage to our political landscape, at least in this electoral cycle, which would be a bonus too tempting to pass up.

    Of course, if I really think Trump cant win, why worry?

    Hes already torn the Republican Party asunder in a way that is not likely

    to be patched up very easily.Last Sundays New York Times carried

    a column by a longtime Republican lamenting that the Trump candidacy is having such a caustic effect on the party that longtime friends are either no longer speaking to each other or they are Trump-ing one another name-calling, insult-slinging, that sort of thing.

    And, according to the writer (political wonk Peter Wehner) this breaking of bonds is not to be taken lightly.

    What makes this moment so unusual is that the ruptures are occurring among people who have for years been political allies, whose friendships were forged through common battles, often standing shoulder to shoulder, Wehner wrote.

    Which, I must note, agrees with my overall view of the Trump phenomenon, especially on my bleaker days.

    I believe that Trump is emblematic of a growing tendency in this country, on the part of a certain set of the populace, to completely disrespect and dismiss viewpoints that are liberal, compassionate and tolerant of alternative ideas and beliefs.

    It wont be long until The Donalds last name becomes a verb, to Trump, which means to insult, belittle, disrespect and any other demeaning verbal trick available that leaves a recipient feeling like a piece of crap.

    Its already happening, and not just in the violence perpetrated by Trump supporters at rallies.

    Why, here in Garfield County we had an example recently, when Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario trumped Ninth Judicial District Attorney Sherry Caloia, belittling her capabilities, comparing her to a child and other insulting verbal attacks that made the papers.

    And, as acknowledged by defense attorney Chip McCrory, an Independent and one of Caloias opponents in the upcoming election, it was all a political ploy. Vallario is a bully-boy and a Republican who supports Republican DA candidate Jeff Cheney, Caloia is a woman and a Democrat nuff said.

    Yep, I see Trumps campaign as a further degradation of our political dialogue that will have dire ramifications we cannot yet imagine.

    And even the Koch brothers see it coming.

    1957ASPEN

    ASPEN COUPLE HELP LOCAL VACATIONERS, noted The Aspen Times on May 2, 1957. An Aspen husband and wife team did much to make the recent vacation of two local residents a success. The vacationers, Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Bresnitz, were the first customers of the newly opened Aspen Travel Service owned by Janet Hoist. Reservations and travel accommodations were made for them by Mrs. Hoist for their recent New York vacation. When their sojourn in the big city was over they returned west by United Airlines. Their pilot from Chicago to Denver was United Captain Jack Hoist, one of the airliners senior pilots and Mrs. Hoists husband.

    WEAR IT: GOLDEN SPIKE CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING SHOE

    GEAR of the WEEKFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

    A SEE-THROUGH mesh upper, a foam outsole, and five sharp studs under the forefoot define the Golden Spike, a shoe coming to market next month from Altra.

    Based in Utah, Altra is known for its long-distance trail shoes made for training runs and ultra events. The Golden Spike is off the spectrum for the brand, with sprint events, track and cross-country running the venue for the new shoe.

    I got an early sample for review. Like race cars for your feet, the Golden Spikes do not disappoint in the speed department they weigh almost nothing and focus all forward motion from the forefoot.

    Altra describes the stride as a powerful toe-off motion, and in my first test runs the Golden Spike design convinced me this shoe is for the sprint-minded only. Dont try and do much distance in these shoes, and dont even think about pavement.

    Altra rose to popularity over the past few years with its foot-shape toe box, which is wider than normal, and a commitment to zero-drop shoes that can aid in a more natural stride. The Golden Spikes keep both attributes, but the company tuned the rest of the shoe toward sprinters and cross-country athletes.

    I ran about three miles on grass and dirt trails on the first test. The spikes dig in for grip on each stride; its especially noticeable on hills.

    The shoes were more comfortable than expected. The midsole cushioned despite a chassis with minimal support roots and rocks were dampened by the shoes midsoles, despite a clicking protest when metal met stone.

    The upper is thin, a taut material that serves as a breathable shell for the foot. The laces cinch tight both over the foot and around the front of the ankle. I ran across a beach and hardly a grain of sand got inside the shoes.

    Beyond the spikes, the sole has patches of rubber for wear-resistance but is mostly a rugged foam. As noted, the shoes are zero-drop, meaning there is no angle down from heel to toe. This flat-footed design discourages heel-strike running, keeping you up on the balls of your feet and on the spikes.

    Who should buy these shoes? They are going to be great for high school or college cross-country runners who want a short spike shoe within a wide forefoot.

    The shoes are a true racing flat and thus not meant for training runs other than top-speed workouts. But if youre looking for more speed or a tool for sprint events on turf, dirt and tracks, lace up these Altras for a spin.

    ASPEN UNTUCKEDFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE by BARBARA PLATTS

    A FEMALE in her mid-20s was found unresponsive in front of a closed restaurant Wednesday morning. Authorities are not really sure how long she was lying there because that area

    is almost entirely unvisited during the offseason months in Aspen.

    We were lucky that some random idiot tourist thought Cache Cache served breakfast, Deputy Edward Smith said. Otherwise who

    knows how long she would have lied there.

    The young woman was identified as Trish Macevoy. She moved to the Roaring Fork Valley at the start of the 2015-16 winter season, according to

    a friend. There is no evidence that she is currently employed, but those close to her said she enjoyed fine dining and was really into that Bootsy Bellows scene.

    She liked to have fun, friend, and fellow millennial, Phoebe Harold said. She was out every night of the week with a different group of people.

    Harold said when offseason arrived in Aspen, Macevoys lifestyle was forced to change. She wasnt skiing anymore, most of the people she hung out with left for vacation and she could no longer dine at her favorite establishments. Once this happened, Harold said she became very anxious, to the point where she was difficult to be around.

    She didnt understand why

    so many restaurants were closed and why the others had shorter hours and limited menus, Harold said. I could tell it was really heartbreaking for her, but I didnt know how to help. One time I suggested we eat in and she kind of freaked out on me.

    Macevoy was taken to Aspen Valley Hospital yesterday, but still remains unconscious. Recently retired doctor, Walter Samson, said a condition like this is not uncommon in a town with such drastic seasonal changes.

    Some people move here during the busy season and assume its going to be that fun at all times, he said. Then they get to offseason and their body goes into traumatic shock from the lack of stimuli. Often times it can be fatal if its not diagnosed early enough.

    Police sent out a public service

    announcement this morning that provided suggestions for offseason activities so more millennials do not suffer the same fate as Macevoy.

    We dont want this to get to epidemic levels, Smith said. We want the younger community in Aspen to know we are here to help when it comes to their boredom levels.

    The list suggested a range of activities from knitting to meditating. The verdict is still out on millennials reactions to the suggestions.

    Barbara Platts feels for Macev-oy. She too starts to miss some of her favorite restaurants in the offseason. Plus she thinks she has a startling resemblance to the un-responsive millennial. Reach her at [email protected].

    WINEINKFROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

    WHERE DOES YOUR WINE come from? Well, when you buy an American wine, the answer is almost always on the label.

    Say you buy a wine from California. Right there on the label it will say where the grapes in that wine were sourced. If they came from a number of vineyards in different parts of the state, the label will simply say California. If most of the grapes

    in the bottle were grown within a specific county or region, such as Sonoma County, it will be designated as Sonoma.

    Further, if they came from a single place in Sonoma County, like the Russian River Valley, the label will highlight Russian River. And finally if they came from a single vineyard in the Russian River Valley, in Sonoma County in California, it should say the name of that vineyard.

    Got all that? If you do, good. Because by being aware of that information you can pinpoint exactly where your wine originated. And in wine, the place of its origin is an important thing.

    THE AVAS

    According to Wines and Vines, an industry publication that maintains a database of such statistics, there are, as of March 2016, 8,795 wineries in America. In order to organize where these wineries are located, and where they source their grapes, there is a system that breaks each wine region down into American Viticultural Areas or AVAs. These are also called appellations. They are designated and administered by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, or TTB, which is responsible for keeping track of the nations wineries.

    AVAs, or appellations, are places in America that have specific geographic or geologic features that make them unique for growing grapes for wine. The designation of a place as an AVA helps to give consumers a better understanding of what they

    can expect from the wines that originate from those areas. To use the name of a specific AVA on the wine label, 85 percent of the wine in the bottle must have come from grapes grown within the geographical AVA boundaries. AVAs also help winemakers in the designated regions establish marketing platforms to take advantage of the unique nature of the regions.

    These are an important part of the system of American wine, as AVAs clearly define the characteristics of a region. The kind of soils that dominate that region, the weather patterns, the altitudes of the region, all have an impact on what grapes will grow best in that appellation and what kinds of traits might be expected from vineyards in that AVA.

    THE LEWIS-CLARK VALLEY

    I raise the point because, this month, word came that the TTB designated that a chunk of land that spans the border between Idaho and Washington be granted status as The Lewis-Clark Valley American Viticultural Area. This is a big move in providing legitimacy to the growers and winemakers of Idaho; it allows them to label their wines as being from an area that has been deemed to be unique and significant in America for growing wine.

    The Lewis-Clark Valley AVA encompasses 479 miles, with two-thirds of that area in Idaho and one-third in Washington. Highway 12, which runs through Lewiston, Idaho, is the main artery through the serpentine region. The AVA encompasses the backbone of the Bitterroot Mountains and is hilly and rocky, with much of it foreboding. But 16 wineries currently source grapes from the appellation and there are 80 acres of vines planted on the Idaho side.

    While the names of the wineries are a little obscure at this point, production is very limited. Wines from Basalt Cellars on the Washington side of the AVA and Idahos Colters Creek are gaining fans. The varieties of grapes are similar to those found in the neighboring Washington wine

    regions with a focus on red grapes like cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah, and amongst white grapes, riesling, pinot gris and chardonnay.

    This is the third AVA in Idaho and the 14th in the state of Washington.

    SO WHO CARES?

    The winemakers of the region obviously care about the designation as it legitimizes their efforts. But beyond that, the designation of a new AVA is good for the industry in general. It gives wine drinkers a context for considering new areas that could be exceptional for creating great wines in the future. As the wines of Washington state have improved over the past 20 years, it is likely that opportunity exists for there to be outstanding wines produced in Idaho as well over the next 20 years.

    Grapes dont recognize borders. They just recognize nurturing soils, sunny days and cool nights.

    Bravo to the grapes and the winemakers of The Lewis-Clark American Viticultural Area.

    THEIR OWN PRIVATE IDAHO: THE LEWIS-CLARK VALLEY IS THE NEW APPELLATION

    KELLY J.HAYES

    P H O T O S B Y R A Y J . G A D D

    Rugged, unrefined and promising, the future of Idaho wine is a story yet to be told.

    UNDER THE INFLUENCECOLTERS CREEK 2013 ARROW RIM RED (IDAHO)

    For the first time, an Idaho wine makes an appearance in WineInk. And I hate to say it, but it is reminiscent of a Washington wine. Berries, razz and boysen open up to dark chocolate and coffee flavors. Keep an eye on these folks. And if you are in the neighborhood of Juliaetta, Idaho, be sure to stop in for a burger and a glass of wine.

    ABOVE: The Lewis Clark Valley AVA was sanctioned after local growers took the long road, working for the designation since 2007.

    LEFT: Like neighboring Washington, Idaho growers are currently focused on the red grape varieties like cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah that have proven successful in the soils and the climate of the Great Northwest.

    There are currently 235 AVAs in America. California, naturally, has the most with 138, or over half of all the designated appellations in the nation. Colorado has two, the Grand Mesa AVA near Grand Junction and the West Elks AVA in Delta County. The first AVA was Augusta in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri which received status in 1980, eight months before Napa in California. The Largest AVA? That would be the Upper Mississippi River AVA which includes parts of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois, and encompasses over 29,000 square miles. The smallest AVA is Cole Ranch in Mendocino County, California, which is just 189 acres.

    So now you know.

    FOOD MATTERS

    I WAS LICKING the sticky remnants of chocolate cotton candy from my fingers when I got the text: Ready?!?!?

    I swiped my hands with a napkin and snapped a photo of the chocolate cherry mousse sundae with liquid-nitrogen exploding whipped cream that I was about to devour at The Inventing Room in Denver. Happening now, I replied, to my childhood pal Amy

    on the East Coast. Tomorrow, we agreed, we

    would start the Purium 10-Day Transformation Cleanse, the popular wellness program formulated more than two decades ago by author and nutritional coach to the stars David Sandoval. The daily plan consists of three power shakes mixed from nutrient-dense, plant-based vegan superfood powder brimming with slow burning carbs and highly digestible protein. Participants intersperse these meal replacements with regular doses of amino-acid supplements, a nighttime scoop of fiber, and tart-cherry concentrate before bedtime, all combined with at least 102 to 124 ounces water at two-hour intervals throughout the day.

    Theres an option to add flex foods, such as cup spinach or broccoli sauted in coconut oil; single servings of hydrating produce such as celery, cucumber, apple, berries, and watermelon; and avocado or unprocessed almond or coconut milk, both rich in omega fatty acids. Optional seasonings are lemon, garlic, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and organic honey or cinnamon. Decaffeinated tea, kombucha, and vegetable broth are OK,

    too. Everything else sugar, caffeine, artificial additives, foods containing GMOs or pesticides is forbidden for 10 days.

    By eliminating processed foods during your Transformation, your metabolism will reset itself, and you will train your cells to seek nutrition instead of calories, Sandoval explains in Puriums brochure. Id heard about the clean and green cleanse last spring, when I purchased the kit as part of Aspen chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Amy Denickes spring-cleaning special offer. The big tubs of green powder have sat, untouched, in an overstuffed closet ever since. Life, you know.

    Back at the Denver dessert lab, I was relieved to realize that I wasnt the only one unprepared for P-day. I just pulled out the stuff and the first thing I read was to start adjusting your diet 3-5 days before starting, Amy wrote. Oops.

    Id already postponed our target launch last Sunday my heart was set on an all-night DJ show in a downtown warehouse, but dancing until the wee hours on Day Six of a restrictive liquid cleanse sounded like a recipe for suffering, disaster, or worse. Turns out that was more than fine with Amy, who had admitted to texting me from a pub outside of Fenway Park.

    This is really the best time, Amy says now. Things cant get any worse, stress-wise. A high-school Spanish teacher in Connecticut, Amy will be married in three months. Her dog died unexpectedly recently, and the cold, gray, rainy New England spring climate isnt helping her headspace. Meanwhile, I feel like Ive been clawing my way out of a muddy, open grave for months.

    Despite Sandovals instruction that we dont binge-eat beforehand or start the Transformation during a hectic personal time,

    Amy and I make a pact to stick to the new schedule. Planning a wedding or coming off a weekend bender in the Mile High City may not be ideal circumstances, but sometimes extreme measures are necessary to create change.

    I think its good to give your digestion a break, to clean up a little bit, says Denicke, who compares the Purium cleanse to dipping in a toe to test the water. Its a really good kick-start to breaking bad food habits, like quit eating chocolate or ice cream or a glass of wine every night. It helped me to break patterns. It sets the ego aside.

    Later, I receive a pic of Amys grocery basket: celery, cucumber, watermelon, avocados, apples, lemons, and three cartons of vegetable broth. Maybe its the mild ache in my head after that afternoon sugar high, but the image is sadder than any before shot on Puriums website testimonial page.

    They say to buy all organic, but if I can get cukes for .59 cents over $3.99 Ill break that

    rule, she writes. I spit back something about the toxic effects of pesticides even the Purium Power Shake is free of those and GMOs but my words are no match for a schoolteachers salary.

    At $205 (through a sales rep; $290 elsewhere), Purium doesnt seem cheap. Break it down, however, and it costs $20.50 per day, plus any flex foods, which I estimate amount to $3 or less per day. Amy found the Purium method a short-term anabolic detox designed to increase energy and digestion, with a weight-loss side-effect the simplest and least sketchy shed pay for. Financial investment upfront might foster accountability.

    Some people struggle through the first few days, some people dont struggle at all, Denicke says. It depends on your body composition, awareness, and personality. Ten days is not that long. A lot of people feel so good they dont wanna stop.

    A guy I know drank Purium for 20 days straight, supplementing

    BY AMANDA RAE

    Tis the season for detoxifying juice cleanses! Find fresh-pressed juice at local haunts including Peachs Corner Cafe, Spring Cafe, Aspen Over Easy, Meat & Cheese Restaurant &

    Farm Shop, and the new JUS Bar in the Ute City Building.

    with little more than an avocado and a handful of spinach each day. Then he continued the modification program, supplementing fewer replacement shakes with whole-foods meals, for 50 days. Result: total beefcake. Another friend despised the sweet apple-berry flavor and quit after 10 days to the letter; still, she lost eight pounds and has kept it off for two weeks and counting.

    Amy and I have similar goals: reset wonky eating issues, boost energy, and slim down enough to rock a wedding dress/bikini with flashy confidence. I once subsisted on the cayenne-lemonade Master Cleanse for almost six days, so Ive been daydreaming about the manic, light-as-a-feather euphoria that kicks in after a few days.

    Amy, meanwhile, is a first-time cleanser with a busy schedule. Her main concern: fitting in a shake or flex beverage every two hours. Today has been a pretty light load, easy for me to stay on top of it, but tomorrow is jam-packed, she says when I call to check in on Monday morning. Ive already gone to the bathroom twice and I usually dont, so I might be, like, running out of the classroom....

    The good news: Its not starving you, she says, convinced already. It kind of tastes chocolately. The leftover dust at the bottom [of the shaker] is the worst partbut its not as horrible as I expected. I dont think Im going to be super hungry. You can eat all the, uh, celery, you want!

    The petite friend who dropped 8 pounds told me it was easy, as long as you dont go out at night. Thankfully, Aspen will be quiet for the next few weeks.

    Theres never a perfect time, even with our planning, Amy concludes. Im going on a field trip on Friday that is known for having awesome food. But whatever, Im just gonna be miserable for one day. Its one day. Or 10 days. Stay tuned...

    After just one day of Purium, Amanda Rae is impressed by how much time has freed up from cooking, cleaning, shopping, and eating. [email protected]

    HOMEMADE PREPARED HORSERADISH

    Start to finish: 5 minutesMakes about 1/2 cup

    2-ounce piece peeled fresh horseradish, cut into 1-inch chunks

    2 1/2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

    18 teaspoon kosher saltIn a food processor, process

    the horseradish until it is very finely chopped. Keeping your eyes averted when you remove the lid from the food processor, transfer the horseradish to a bowl and stir in the vinegar and salt. Let stand for 10 minutes before using.

    recipe by Sara Moulton/The Associated Press

    MAKE IT

    In researching this weeks cover story, I had no choice but to

    sample Bloody Marys at watering holes near and far. In doing

    so, I came to a few conclusions. First, offseason is the season for drinking Bloody Marys, as lazy Sundays are perfect for

    day drinking and high season rarely allows for lazy Sundays.

    Second, all Bloody Marys are not created equal; I like mine

    spicy and filled to the brim with what equates to a full salad of

    veggies. And last, but not least, there is something very cool

    about mixing your own Bloody (thank you, Justice Snows, for

    keeping the Bloody Mary Bar alive in Aspen). With that in mind

    and after realizing I cannot afford to drink Bloody Marys

    at bars all offseason Im going to stock my fridge with all

    the fixings to make my own Sunday morning eye-opener. On

    my shopping list: tomato juice (the jury is still out on which

    one), olives, pickles, celery, okra, salt, pepper, cayenne

    pepper, assorted hot sauces, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay

    seasoning, bacon, shrimp, horseradish (Im going to attempt

    to make my own after stumbling upon the recipe, right) ... the

    list goes on and on. And, of course, Im open to ideas. Email

    BOOZY BREAKFAST, LIQUID LUNCH...A locals guide to beating the offseason blues with a Bloody Mary (or two)by JEANNE MCGOVERN

    YOU SURVIVED ANOTHER (or your first!) winter season in Aspen. Kudos. Congrats. Way to go.

    But now from the day the lifts close until the day the Food & Wine tents take over Wagner Park is when you prove youre a local. Its when you dig deep to figure out why you love Aspen and why you just cant leave.

    Mud season, be damned. The spring offseason is your chance to relax and recharge. And if youre like many of us at The Aspen Times, this is not going to take place while traipsing around the world. Youre here, in Aspen, for the duration. We feel your pain, people and were here to help.

    Last year, we offered you tips on how to fill the long days and slush-filled weeks ahead. This year, were cutting to the chase (because who really wants to go downvalley?). On the following pages we share with you our favorite places to enjoy Aspens favorite offseason cocktail: the Bloody Mary. Because we know thats all you really want to do.

    Read on, drink up and revel in the quiet of the coming weeks ... summers just around the corner.

    A S P E N T I M E S F I L E P H O T O

  • A S P E N T I M E S W E E K L Y F Ap r i l 2 8 - Ma y 4 , 20 16 20

    STEP ONE: EATEVERY GOOD OFFSEASON MORNING should

    begin with a leisurely breakfast (or brunch or lunch, depending on the weather outside and how well you weathered the storm that was the night before). And since we believe every good offseason morning should also begin with a Bloody Mary, this is a match made in heaven.

    A few of our favorites? The Hickory House, where you cant beat a Bloody Mary laced with owner Paul Dioguardis spicy bbq sauce, a pile of pork ribs, a pair of fried eggs and a plate of homemade biscuits doused with pork sausage gravy. And Over Easy Aspen, where variations on the standards definitely stand out a Bloody Molly (bacon-infused vodka) served with a Hillbilly Benny (smoked bbq pork and caramalized onion), or a Bloody Maria (think tequila, baby) paired with a West Coast Benny (bacon, avocado, jalapeo salsa) perhaps? But no need to stop there. We were once told at a Food & Wine Classic seminar, no less that the Bloody Mary is not just for brunch anymore, so well boldly suggest that you branch out and try a Bloody with more than just the aforementioned dishes. In fact, we think the Bloody Mary is the perfect offseason accompaniment for just about any meal. A little surf and turf to go with your bacon-and-shrimp-laced Bloody Mary? Bring it.

    STEP TWO: DRINKNOW THAT YOUR STOMACH is properly

    prepared, its time to fully embrace your Bloody Mary mission. By this, we mean experimenting and imbibing in all that Aspens bars have to offer.

    First thing to note: Not every Aspen establishment is open in the offseason. Shame on them ... but we get it (wed probably close up shop too if we werent, well, a daily newspaper).

    But fear not, there are still plenty of places to partake. Were obviously partial to the Hickory House and Over Easy (yum!), but dont read between the lines: These are not necessarily our favorite places to enjoy a Bloody Mary.

    At the top of the list, on the weekends at least, is Justice Snows. The reason is simple: the Bloody Mary Bar (see If You Go ..., opposite page). With dozens of ingredients to choose from ranging from the ordinary (Cholula, olives, celery) to the extraordinary (pickled beets, Moroccan spices, kraut) this is your chance to create your own concoction. Havent you always wanted to be a bartender? Or, at the very least, figure out what works and more important, what doesnt work before creating your own in-home Bloody Mary bar.

    A few other stops on this tour de Bloody Mary (call first, as some have limited offseason hours): HOPS Culture, where you can choose from 30 craft beers on tap as a sidecar to your Bloody; the St. Regis Aspen, home of the Downhill Snapper (see recipe, opposite page), which is purported to be a descendant of the first Bloody Mary that was perfected at the original St. Regis in Manhattan after Prohibition; and, when Snowmass awakes from its offseason slumber, Ricard, which boasts master mixologist Danielle Beckers always creative Bloody Brews.

    THREE CHEERS TO THE BEAUTIFUL BLOODY

    David Blend from The Thrillist offers these words to drink by ...

    MIMOSAS ARE DUMB.

    There is nothing impressive about drinking a third of a glass of

    Champagne, especially when you spill half of it on your white pants.

    IT IS BRUNCH.

    Or at least it can be.

    VEGETABLES.

    If you didnt get them here, you wouldnt get them anywhere, and by now would be way too dead to enjoy those bacon-stuffed waffles youre eying. Oh damn, they got Egg-in-a-Hole? Maybe that then.

    STEP THREE: BE MERRY

    SO YOUVE EATEN, YOUVE DRANK ... whats next?In offseason, more of the same is always an option we call it the lather, rinse, repeat plan for

    beating the offseason blues. But we know, you might want more out of your day. Here are a few post-Bloody Mary tour ideas to whittle the time away.

    In good weather: get outside already! Seriously, a Sunday afternoon stroll down the Rio Grande Trail or a slow spin to the Independence Pass gate can be conquered with a full belly and slight (ever-so-slight) buzz. Or, grab a Frisbee or a football and hit the park (note: There is nothing wrong with a catnap on the sidelines).

    In bad weather: stay inside already! Nobody needs to bring in the summer season sicker than a dog. A few things we like to do include a visit to the Aspen Recreation Center (swim, skate, climb), a movie (the Isis is open all offseason), a mani/pedi (sandal season is just around the corner), and yes, were going to say it go downvalley to either the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool or the new Iron Mountain Hot Springs (if you dont have designated driver, take the bus; and yes, we know, this isnt an indoor activity, but the weather DV is sure to be better, or at least tolerable, for a dip in the hot waters).

    Of course, as we said in the beginning, we know all you really want to do is relax and recharge this offseason. And so do we. Bloody Mary, anyone?

    WHATS THE DIFFERENCE between a scumbag and a dirtbag?

    Quite a lot, if you live around the pockets of the American west where a common goal among us is to drop out and live in a van near trails and wilderness so that we can spend time in the woods, climbing or skiing or otherwise stomping the terra. Anybody who pulls that off is affectionately known as a dirtbag. Its shorthand for the infrequently showering, frugally living adventurers among us. Out here its not a pejorative term but a descriptive noun popularized, in part, by Fitz Cahalls long-running podcast The Dirtbag Diaries.

    Whereas a scumbag, here as anywhere, is simply somebody who lies and steals disappointing many, trusted by none.

    Brendan Leonards journey from scumbag to dirtbag is the subject of his new memoir of addiction and redemption, Sixty Meters to Anywhere. The Denver-based climbing writer and founder of the excellent Semi-Rad.com came to Carbondale in late April for the 5Point Film Festival to talk about it, filling the Crystal Theatre for the first event in a summer-long book tour. Cahall introduced Leonard and rolled tape for a future Diaries podcast.

    An Iowa native, Leonard started drinking at 15. As he put it, he had fun, then fun-plus-problems, then just problems. By the time he was in his early 20s, he was always drunk, frequently arrested, often dangerous behind the wheel and rarely any fun to be around.

    I was really just becoming a bad person, he said.

    At 23, with the help of another stint in jail and a court-mandated trip to alcohol rehabilitation, he had his last drink and found himself in journalism school at the University of Montana. His classmates arrived with stories about spending the months before graduate school backpacking or doing cool internships. His summer was decidedly less resume-worthy: I went to jail for a week, I went to rehab and now Im here and I want to be a writer, he recalled telling his cohort.

    But the move to Montana and his first taste of the Rocky Mountains since childhood family ski trips helped him begin to clean up the wreckage and start over. Leonard refers to this

    phenomenon as The Big Bang Theory of Extreme Joy.

    When you blow everything up and start over again, you have infinite possibility, he said.

    Two years later, he put his masters degree in journalism to work as a decidedly inept salesman at an REI in Phoenix. That Christmas, his brother gave him a used climbing rope the length of which gives Leonards book its title. It proved to be a ticket to freedom.

    He moved to Breckenridge, then Denver, started sport-climbing and began finding himself along with the witty, self-deprecating voice as a writer that would become his calling card. He pitched magazines furiously, and collected stacks of rejection slips for a few years until, in 2006, the Mountain Gazette published his essay, Alcoholism and Other Mountains Ive Climbed.

    Leonard quit a newspaper job to guide under-served teens on backpacking trips in to the mountains and learned a lot from their days in the woods together.

    They were tough kids from tough neighborhoods, but they were terrified of taking a shit in the woods, he recalled.

    From there, he got a gig writing copy for IBM and with most of his magazine pitches still failing he

    started Semi-Rad. After he finally landed a story in Climbing, he had what he calls his Second Big Bang, when he split up with a girlfriend and, at 32, moved into a Chevy Astrovan and began living on the road.

    The triumph of living sober and at trailheads and parking lots was lost on the folks back home in Iowa.

    Its cool in Colorado...in Utah. In Des Moines, you tell people youre going to live in your car and theyre like, Are you OK?

    Through climbing, he found a tribe of friends. He brought his parents out to hike 14-ers. He found something like a purpose and eventually he stopped getting so many rejection letters and started collecting bylines in Alpinist and on The Dirtbag Diaries and got a contributing editor gig at Climbing. He began traveling to peaks around the U.S. and the world in search of stories to tell and, in 2013, published his first book, The New American Road Trip Mix Tape, and realized he was living a life he didnt know existed back when

    he was bouncing between blackouts and hangovers.

    If I told my high school guidance counselor I wanted to be an adventure writer he would have said, What the f-k is that?

    Today his prose and his life are infused with a gratitude that Leonard said comes from knowing it didnt have to work out this way. In his Denver neighborhood, he often meets alcoholic homeless men who are probably around his age (37) but look much older. They remind him what could have been: For a second I know that I could be this guy.

Soon, Ashton Taufer, a Berklee man on bass, and Aaron Taylor, jazz drummer extraordinaire, joined in for a show at Steves Guitars in Carbondale, Colorado. A band was most certainly born! Let Them Roar plays mountain folk woven into a soulful tapestry of roots, rock and raw improvisations.

    JezebelJezebel is a great dog who would love a person or a family to give her

    the time and attention she deserves, lots of outdoor activity and a cozy indoor bed to sleep on. She is 5 years old and she is deaf. Her current owner says she listens better than their other dog when she is looking at you. She is well socialized and is used to going to work with 5 other office dogs. Jezebell loves to go hiking but she must be on a leash so she can feel free to explore without having to worry about losing sight of her person. Its hard to tell from these pictures but she is absolutely gorgeous. Please first go to luckydayrescue.org and fill out an adoption application. She is current on her vaccinations, spayed, micro chipped, house trained and absolutely fabulous. Rachel 970-618-3662
