Hyper-Local in Aspen
February 12, 2012 Aspen is a small mountain town at the end of the road, but it's unlike any ski town in America. In addtion to a semi-thriving tourism business Aspen also has the 3 C's; Community, Camaraderie and Culture. Aspen maintains a tightly knit, highly nuanced social fabric unlike most resort towns. This allows the Locals and the Tourists to coexist in harmony (mostly). Hollywood has it's TMZ (Thirty Mile Zone)...but Aspen has THE TBR...The Three Block Radius.
Last night AspenSpin pulled a Quad in the TBR, 4 events all within the three block radius. Niiiiice.
Get the Girls Out Day on Ajax for SheJumps.org.SHEJUMPS.org had their first ever "Get the Girls Out Day" on Aspen Mountain as well several other ski hills throughout the U.S. SHEJUMPS.org strives to increase female participation in out door activities by building a supportive community.
ASPEN YOGA SOCIETY hosted their first-ever Yoga Rave last night. An awesome DJ, a big room and plenty of stretching and dancing. ASPEN YOGA SOCIETY uses yoga as a tool to discover and maximize human potential.
