Some local races to consider if you’re feeling inspired by the Olympics.

Grand Traverse 2012

Grand Traverse 2012

Apr 3, 2012

Good morning Grand Traversers! Put another Grand Traverse in the books. Having had a few days to think about the whole experience, the short answer is that it was a really good race. The weather was mild, there was no wind, and the sunrise was amazing. We got ourselves on the podium as the 3rd place in the co-ed category, Christy was the 3rd female overall to cross the finish...

It’s Always Something

It’s Always Something

Mar 30, 2009

The 12th Annual Elk Mountain Grand Traverse was held this past weekend. Nearly 130 teams of two lined up for the midnight start at the Crested Butte High School, ready to make the 40 mile ski pilgrimage through the night to Aspen. This year’s race was marked by single digit temperatures and driving winds up high which most participants took in stride, because anyone who has done this race knows–...

Because Whiskey Tastes Better in Wyoming

Because Whiskey Tastes Better in Wyoming

Mar 20, 2009

Curiosity got the best of me this past weekend. I figured joining Christy for her 5th go at the 5th Annual Coureur Du Bois, a 90km skate race from Steamboat to the Wyoming border and back, sounded like good fun. It wasn’t– it crushed me. Who was I to think I could show up with only a single 40km training day and a few shorter races under my belt and...

Christy’s Four Mountain Challenge

Christy’s Four Mountain Challenge

Mar 7, 2009

[Christy here]With four ski mountains in the area, locals have an unique opportunity to ski them all in one day. The “four mountain challenge” as it has been called, isn’t something that’s done or talked about very much and there seems to be several different ways it can be executed. Most of the time it’s an Aspen old timer that has gone out for the challenge. Tom Hines and Dick...

The Flying Kilometer

The Flying Kilometer

Jan 11, 2009

Sound like fun?  It all depends on your perspective, literally. From it’s top, it’s a fast, steep descent towards Snowmass, and on nordic skis it can almost be scary.  When tackling this stretch of the Owl Creek Trail from the opposite direction(pictured), the only thing ‘flying’ is your heartrate, into the red that is. Participants in next Saturday’s 22nd Annual Owl Creek Chase , the 21 km skate race from Snowmass to Aspen, will...

It was amazing to spend time with this icon recently. Her message of hope and the inspirational words she shared with the kids in the valley schools were something to admire, 🙏 topped off by the tales she shared over whiskey 🥃 around the fire 🔥 of her decades as a conservationist, scientist, and activist in Africa and worldwide. 🌍🌱🦧🔭

We need more of this in the world today. 🌈

Bravo to @aspenchristy and @acesaspen for bringing her message to the valley. 🙏

"Every single day you live, you make an impact on the planet, and you can choose what sort of impact you make."

An end of an era…. Papa passed peacefully in his An end of an era…. Papa passed peacefully in his sleep this week. 
It’s been incredible to reflect on the profound impact he had on our lives. In his 99 + years, we were able to stay so close and share so many special experiences. We will miss his remarkable memory and stories of growing up in Nantucket, flying planes in WWII, living in Japan, finding his way to the mountains of Colorado and skiing until his 90s. Grateful for all the memories we were able to share. We will cherish them forever. 🧡
This week Dr. Jane Goodall came to our valley to s This week Dr. Jane Goodall came to our valley to share her message of hope with the @acesaspen community. It was incredible to see the affect of her stories on students from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. I’m not sure who was more inspired -  the educators and adults she touched, or the youth that hung on to her every word. 
I do know that this message of hope is needed right now and it was empowering to hear her advice of “just do something”. Be a part of the solution, understand your impact, and take action in your community to ensure a more sustainable future for our planet, people, and animals. #capacityforchange #awareness #environmentaleducation #collaboration #dosomething

This year, I'm honored to be running for the Chris Klug Foundation to help bring awareness to the 104,000 children and adults currently waiting for an organ transplant. I will give it my all out there to raise funds and raise awareness, and would love your help! 100% of all donations made will go towards my $3,500 goal for the Chris Klug Foundation (CKF), and any amount will make a difference. Link to donate in my bio!
🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Also, remember to double-check that you are registered as an organ donor! An easy way to know if you're on the organ donor registry is to look at your driver's license or state ID card! #donatelife #earnyourheart #makeadifferencetoday
