Month: October 2010
Wow, more shopping/deal sites!
Yo, did you guys know about SteepandCheap.com? Because I sure didn’t, but apparently everyone else within 1,000 vertical feet of snow did. It flashes a new item every 30 minutes or until it sells out, whichever comes first, and its got tons of mountain-y gear like skis, accessories, clothes, hiking gear, shoes, packs, camping stuff,…

Aspen: Politickin’
For being such a lil town, Aspen sure is big into politics. And I don’t just mean the who-has-the-best-seats-at-the-Wheeler kind. The coolest thing, despite how you feel about any given candidate, is that Aspen’s political activism is not limited to the over-30, house-owning, property-tax paying set; the youngsters of Aspen are just as involved as…
Yoga and More Nature’s Garage Gem
Still at the yoga, still loving it.

The New Nature’s Garage Gym/Gem
We recently moved from ABC, home of Nature’s Garage Gym CrossFit ABC123 to downtown Aspen. I was afraid there’d be no more rock-hoisting, river-hopping, boulder-jumping workouts, but I need not have worried. This IS Aspen, after all. Yesterday, I ran gassers on the rugby field across the street from our new apartment. Particularly interesting as…
Aspen: Off-Season in Aspen
This is Nali visiting one of her fave people at a hotel in town. This may also be the first time she’s ever stood up on her back legs to greet a person not in my immediate family. We were just out strolling the town last night and stopped in to chat with said person…
