Peace/OUT

Turn out the lights....  The "fat lady" sang at Aspen Highlands this weekend.  Put it in the record books.  The BEST SEASON EVER, 2007-08 is officially over and out. 

We got two bonus and EPIC weekends @ AH--- thanks to Aspen Ski Co.  The Final, Final Day was 4/27/08, -- and it was one siiiiiick Sunday.   The sun finally came out (it felt sooooooooo good, ------burning on the skin).  The music and the beer were flowing and the snow was like "sweet, sweeeeeet-- cream of corn".  The locals got to GO FOR IT --one more time.  Whether you were hiking the Bowl, skimming the pond, or just hangin'----it was all good clean fun.  That's the kind of fun you can't get via web cam.

At A-Spin, we're singing KUM BA YAH, and trying to deal with reality (sort of).  We're already doing squats and radical core work preppin' for next season.   For now---- beach time.   But...  the SUMMER HEAT is a coming-------- and they're calling it ---- ASPENSPIN.com   So get ready to rock it in the Rockies-- bi-atchs!!!  

PEACE/OUT!!!

The Aspen Spinnie Awards

Aspen Spin has been in SKI-HAB for over a week now, although, we did fall off the wagon, last Saturday at Aspen Highlands.  It's been very difficult to go cold turkey, but our Orthopaedic Surgeon ordered us to stay off the sticks for at least 30 days.  

Lack of skiing has given us time to "nerd out" and figure out how to present    ----- The first ever ASPEN SPINNIE AWARDS on the web.   THE SPINNIEs have aired on GrassRoots TV12 about 50 times and they've received rave reviews and huge ratings.  If you're not an Aspen Local,we present The Spinnies,on-line,just for you. 

Hours and hours of "tech geekiness" were spent to convert the TV show DVD to Youtube----  so please watch.   Also note that the 20 seconds deafening silence at the beginning of part 1 could not be avoided, so be patient---it'll eventually start with a bang.  Part 1 is 8min45sec and Part 2 is 9min50sec. If you have technical difficulties---we're sorry, but our help desk is on break, call 911.

Get some popcorn, buckle your seatbelt and prepare yourself for the fastest 1/2 hour in Aspen TV history---  The ASPEN SPINNIES.

THE PARTY's OVER

2007-08 was the BEST ski season in Aspen's History.  Words like AWESOME, MAGNIFICENT and SiiiiiiiCK cannot adequately describe the magnitude of what we've experienced this past Winter in A-Town. 

 It's official:  THE BEST SEASON EVER !

 At Aspen Spin, we hope you all enjoyed THE POW, THE PIX and THE PEOPLE, as much as we've enjoyed documenting it for you.  

We've snapped a ton of PIX, so a double shot of Aspen Spin is just a click away.

Click  THE END  and  THE PARTY'S OVER  to "get some".

A couple of our sponsors deserve special recognition :  

                                                                                           

Thanks for the Boards and the Beers.

Snow Town Blues

The ski season is NOT over--------until we say it is.

If you roll with Warren Lichtenstein---you're skiing Ajax today.  If you work at Snowmass you're skiing the flats over there,  and trying to avoid dump trucks and cranes.  If AJAX is your office, then tomorrow is your day.   And Yes!!  It's true---- Aspen Highlands will be open and active for the next two weekends-----yeah, baby!!   Don't forget, if you're a sled-head or extreme hiker---you'll be ripping until August. 

At Aspen Spin---we're gonna take few days off. STAT.   Only one word is needed to describe our destination.  VEGAS.

A-Spin's closing weekend pix are exceptional, but they're not quite ready yet.  We've got 100's of "money
Preview: Sex Sells on closing day.shots" to carefully select, edit, captionize and spell check---- just for you.   For now, you're going to have to satisfy your Aspen Spin fix by looking at our newest album-- A-Town Spins .     A-Town Spins is a cornucopia of pix, and it features Aspen icon Johnny Aspen,------ so it's definitely worth the clix.
