A beautiful March 2nd Day!
It’s a beautiful day in the Rocky Mountains of Aspen and Snowmass. Sunny, warm and ski conditions are wonderful. Yesterday brought 2 new inches of snow. It’s time to get out on the ski slopes! In the old days, any lodge could simply put up a sign that read, “Gone Skiing” and no one seemed to mind. Now, that would cause a lawsuit. How did this culture get so rigid and lose the fun in the day-to-day activities?
When the Snowmass Mountain Chalet open in 1967, all the rooms were rented out, but construction was not complete. The men stayed in the rooms without the doors or unfinished bathrooms. The single women received the rooms with the doors and finished bathrooms. No one seemed to mind the condition of the hotel. They were here to ski, not sit in their rooms. Skiing is now a simpler sport because of the excellent ski and snowboard equipment, chairlifts and grooming equipment. Yet, people do not ski as hard or as long. They are not in shape like they used to be, more demanding and certainly whine a lot more!
I encourage progress and I thrive on change. Sometimes, I just wish certain things would stay the same.
