Mile High in Denver.
January 6, 2012 
Lack of snow can upset the apple cart in Aspen. While the uphill transportation, the grooming and the mountain management have all been excellent this year...Mother Nature has not cooperated.
What do you do in Aspen when the skiing sucks....ROAD TRIP.
AspenSpin skeedaddled it down to Denver just in time for the National Western Stock Show Parade on the 17th Street Canyon. We also perused the International Sportsman's Expo at the Denver Convention Center. Carmelo and I found a sweeeeet dog-friendly hotel in Downtown Denver and we wined, dined, hit the movies and recuperated from an active holiday season. Some people go to the spa to decompress and chill out. We hit the gritty urban streets of Denver, Colorado.
When you live the swag lifestyle...you got to go where the action is. The Sportsman's Expo had some decent free stuff, yo...a sick camo lid, floating key chains, a book on extreme survival techniques and tons of beef jerky samples. The streets of LoDo were bustling as it was sunny and 68 degrees. A late afternoon game of fetch in the park, an art flick and a late-night Satire Lounge burrito completed the trip.
