Showing media groups around Aspen Snowmass is always a fun time. Recently I had the pleasure of showing some UK journalists how we do things around here, including Ellie Ross, the writer of this piece here. We even did a full uphilling lesson on Buttermilk one day.

Back in 2015 I was skiing with team from CNN International who seemed more interested in the celebrity status of Aspen than the skiing. Who can blame them?
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.
I had the opportunity to go skinning with a reporter from the Washington Post and go over all things uphilling.
