Come inside, come inside.  There behind the glass is a real blade of grass---be careful as you pass--move along, move along.  Come inside the show's about to start, guarenteed to blow your head apart.  Rest assured you'll get your money's worth....  The Greatest show in heaven, hell or earth".  (ELP, Karn Evil 9, 1973) See the vid, click ELP/ KarnEvil9

Its not even Halloween and Aspen is fittin' to blow.It's a dynamo, its rock & roll---u gotta see THE SHOW!!! The lifts won't open till thanksgiving, but Aspen's already got it going on like its mid-season. We had another huge weekend filled with POW, PIX & PEOPLE.

Chris Anthony & the crew from Warren Miller Entertainment (WME) screened DYNASTY for three, rowdy sold out nights, and 5 shows in Aspen.  Dynasty is the 60th Aniversery film from WME and it KICKS A$$.   The opening featuring ELP/ KARNEVIL9 performed by the Crash Kings is just plain siiiiiiick, its sooo naaaasty. Segments starring Aspen locals Chris Davenport and Sam Ferguson (w/ cameos from Bridger Gile and Klaus Obermeyer) rocked.  We dug it all, but the vignettes from Norway, China and Colorado were especially epic.  See our pix, click THE SHOW.

International Day of Climate in Aspen, a private preview of Il Mulino Aspen, a snow storm and A-Spin's huge burf-day rounded out a big weekend.  Pix from Aspen's Climate Day, Mother Puckers Monster Ball and the Sh*t Kickers Ball will be up ....like Wed.

Aspen Skiers Football

#2 Olathe vs. #7 Aspen. Coin Toss.TailBack Nicky Ufkes #26 takes it to the house on Aspen's first drive.The Aspen Skiers Football team took high hopes and their glossy 5-1 record into THE BIG GAME against Olathe last night.  Olathe, the defending State Champions (2A) came into Aspen unblemished @ 6-0 and riding a 20 game unbeaten string. Olathe controlled the action taking home their 21st straight victory, 52-26.  In what could have been an instant classic, it was the Denver Post 2A game of the week, pitting #2 Olathe Pirates vs #7 Aspen Skiers.

The under-sized Aspen Skiers started hot, picking up an Olathe fumble on the first play from scrimmage.  The Skiers impressively drove the ball to the house after picking up a crucial 1st down on a 4th and 5.  Star tailback Nicky Ufkes #26 ran the ball well and piled up 226 yards and 2 TDs.  QB Anderson Cole threw for one TD and ran for another.   In the end, the Pirates possesed the size, speed and experience to prevail. 

AspenSpin respects authorityOur thanks to the Aspen Skiers Football Program and coaches Peshek, Fentress, Altman and Johnson for allowing AspenSpin.com to get inside the huddle.  The Skiers are MOBILE, AGILE and HOSTILE under Head Coach Mike Sirko and they still have 3 games to play before STATES.  See 'em roll at home on NOV. 6,  Aspen vs Coal Ridge. 

Aspen's own Olympic hero Chris Klug was on hand to promote organ donor awareness, through Donor Dudes.  The Aspen High School Football Program dedicted the game to DONOR DUDES, part of the Chris Klug Foundation.  Klug, is in top shape because he will compete this Dec/Jan. to earn a slot on the U. S Olympic Snowboarding Team for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.   

Despite the loss, it was a great night for Football in Aspen.

Chris Klug, Missy Klug and the Donor Dudes raised awareness for Organ Donorship at the Aspen High School Football game. The Skiers dedicated the game to Donor Dudes.
