Now that was a fun little morning on Aspen Mountain.

It’s one of those days. #skiing #gopro #powder #aspen (at Aspen Mountain)

Snow is in the forecast. About time.

Killer morning on Aspen Mountain with my GoPro.

Aspen loves fast women.

This is the old Lift 1 on Aspen Mountain, when it opened it was the longest chairlift in the world. Now, it’s a relic of days past - memorialized at the base of the mountain. Sometimes I like to sit in this chair and just relax.

Six inches of snow, and then blue skies. Another day in Aspen.

I miss cheap beer.
I’ve been living in Aspen for two years now and have completely forgotten how expensive things here are. It’s when I travel outside of this little bubble that I realize just how crazy prices here really are. Oh we’ll, living in paradise has its trade offs.

30,000 followers. Hard work paying off. Many thanks to everyone who’s following.

I moved to Aspen for the winter, and the summers have won me over. Work is slightly slower, I have my weekends, I ride countless miles on my road bike / mountain bike, and the weather is almost perfect. While that is all well and good, there aren’t any powder days. So, here’s to winter. We open Aspen Mountain and Snowmass in 36 short days. 

This is one of my favorite photos in the Aspen/Snowmass library. I’m a sucker for old chairlifts, especially center-pole ones like this. No safety bar, low to the ground, chairs woven into the haul rope, concrete counterweights… just beautiful pieces of machinery from an era long gone. 

I’m not sure how much longer the High Alpine chair at Snowmass will be around, so I’m going to ride it as much as I can this season.
