Powder Panic
Resorts and ski areas across the country have experienced an interesting phenomenon this season: powder panic.  Now, don't get me wrong, skiers and snowboarders have always had that mob-mentality, freshies-frenzy when it comes to new snow and chairlift lines.  People have been known to shove, push, pole and also to be shoved, pushed, poled in the mess that is the rush for first chair and tha...
The Bitch is Back
La Nina has been a cold nasty lady this winter...well, at least for the shredheads in B.C burrowing through their streets en route to the snow encrusted mountaintops. We in Aspen have had it lucky.  We haven't had the slightest issue with parking in town or with having to decide if the furnace room or the fireplace is the best way to dry your ski gear. Yep, instead of shred outfit maintenance p...
Saddle Up with Pat and Tats: Episode 1
The Pat and Tats Show is back on program, and we've kicked it off with our first season of Saddle Up with Pat and Tats, presented by Tecnica/Blizzard.

Watch this and pray for snow...it's time to shred ...

Trew Crew Posse Day on Ajax
Had a great time the other day with our local Trew Crew: John Pew, Casey Vandenbroek, Pat Sewell, JF Bruegger, Colter Hinchliffe, Parker Olson and more. It snowed 1/4in overnight and we took advantage of the freshies with slash-turn faceshots on every run. With this group, everyday is a powder day.  

Stinko de Mayo…Celebrations of Awesomeness

Well, another weekend past, another story of debauchery that can’t be told here. So, I will tell you of the other happenings that transpired in the Roaring Fork Valley:

Friday night started off with my buddy BryanV pulling up BellyUpAspen.com on the ol’ computer to see what shows were coming into town. Immediately, I see “80′s Prom!” on the playlist, with featured cover band from the era, The M80′s. Sweeet!

“Wait, there’s more?!” I asked Bryan in disbelief. With an additional $5 on the ticket price, we had the privilege to enjoy a night of LIVE KARAOKE on the main stage in the downtown Aspen concert venue.

“Woohoo!” we both shouted in unison. Now, if you haven’t had the privilege of performing a cover song as the lead singer in live 80′s rock band, then you haven’t even eaten the worm in the tequila of life. There’s nothing better than rocking out to your own air-guitar while the real thing is twanging along right beside you. Throw a little ‘rock fist’ in with it, and you’ve got yourself a patented rock performance.

With the night’s plan set, we Lil' Anniesrounded up the rest of our small crew and cruised the TatsVan into town, first stop being Lil’ Annies. Serving for the past few years as our crew’s AspenTown haunt, this little spaghetti house clears its red-and-white patterned tabletops and readies itself for the hard-drinking crowd. This also happens to be the location where things began to blur…so, in the interest of time and avoiding confusing any facts, pictures will just have to suffice. God, I love Facebook.
