Wow. The Best of Aspen & Snowmass Local’s Choice from the Aspen Times just hit the newspaper stands around town… and I was honored to be in the top spot for Best Ski Instructor in Aspen Snowmass!
Thanks to everyone who put me there. It’s really great to live and work in a community like Aspen and to have the support of all the awesome people that make this place so special. Thanks Aspen Snowmass!
I skied with Catherine Murphy, “Ski Writer of the Year” and a reporter for the Irish Daily Mail. We explored the ski areas of Aspen Snowmass and did a day uphilling as well.
Slopeside shenanigans, gallons of sprayed Champagne, celebrities behaving badly, and… ski gangs? It’s all in a day’s work at Aspen.
I had an awesome day on Aspen Highlands with Canadian ski journalist Steve Threndyle who wrote this piece about his ski experience and the Cloud Nine party.
