BB’s Kitchen is Aspen’s newest top-floor establishment, and what a rooftop it is! It’s more like a complex: BB’s restaurant at the top of the stairs on Cooper Street, the BB’s lounge to your left, and a huge deck for sunning–when it isn’t snowing (it’s not open yet). The Vermonster and I were lucky enough…

Aspen: Yogroove at King Yoga
Because it’s not AWESOME ENOUGH, my favorite place ever for yoga (Gretchen [Bleiler] and Lance [Armstrong] are fans too), King Yoga in Aspen, is hosting a Yogroove this Thursday night. What’s a Yogroove? “Come take a creative vinyasa flow co-taught by Aaron and Evan with the sweet melodies of Cameron Williams. Sign-up online at www.kingyoga.net“ Yo,…
Aspen: Gay Ski Week
That is not a joke. I kind of thought it was. Not because gayness is a joke, but because most people don’t host “gay” weeks. But here’s the official site: gayskiweek.com. I’m telling you, Aspen and Austin could not be more alike. People here LOVE gay ski week. It kicked off yesterday (1/16) and runs through…
Aspen: Epic Aspen Day
Lunch at Sundeck (shrimp pad thai). Winterskol Women’s Health & Men’s Health Lounge in gondola plaza.

SoupSkol: 5:30-7:30pm on Hunter & Cooper St. The following restaurants compete for the best soup in town: Aspen Brewing Company…
I Am Rocky
Hahaha. OK, maybe not all the time, but last night some unfortunate circumstances forced me to work out solo even though I am in Austin and all I wanted was to work out with people again since I work out alone all the time in Aspen! It was a cold, misty, almost-stormy night when I…
Aspen: Venga Venga Slopeside in Snowmass
The latest Richard Sandoval modern Mexican restaurant (click here for a HuffPo article on Sandoval), Venga Venga fills the slopeside void in Snowmass. Literally the slope-iest a restaurant could get, it sits right at the old mall, beckoning you with the promise of margaritas, which somehow sound delicious even when it’s -14 degrees outside. Trust…
I Snowboard.
Remember when I learned to ski? Here’s a photo. I’d say learning to snowboard went much better … In all seriousness, I liked snowboarding a lot and picked it up faster than skiing. I felt more confident … don’t know if it’s the strapped-in feet, that I already knew the mountain, or that I had…
Aspen: Pacifica Happy Hour
Pacifica Seafood & Raw Bar has been a want-to-try Aspen restaurant that I haven’t had the chance to sample until I had friends come into town recently. We stopped by for their fantastic if short happy hour (it only runs 4-5:30p!) and got a chance to share and sample some seriously delicious apps. The food…
Austin: New Year’s Eve Start to Finish
Ah, the start of a new year. If you don’t have plans already, don’t fret, Austin is totally a cool town to be plan-less in. Aspen, not so much. Where did my Caribou Club membership card run off to? Anyway, here are my suggestions: Pre-Party: From 4-7pm, let Lovely Austin Boutique help you get ready…
Stealin’ Workouts
Lately I’ve been stealing CrossFit Austin workouts … it’s not exactly stealing, but you know what I mean. Anyway, last night I performed this one, in MY gym crowded by high school boys (apparently their gym is shut down for winter break) who were stealing the squat rack to perform squats far too heavy for…
