The Aspen Bounce

Click to learn more about CLIMB to GLORYBasically, April is Local's month in Aspen.  Most of the tourists have bolted town...but Lord knows it just keeps snowing.  We've had some pretty sick pow days this spring, and the guys from Aspen Weather told everyone that it's gonna keep dumping.    Click for pix:  ASPEN BOUNCE

We checked out some Local action;  The Wheeler Opera House hosted Climb to Glory...a fascinating documentary film about the 10th Mountain Division, America's skiing soldiers. In 1942 more than 14,000 men were stationed at Camp Hale (near Vail) to train for mountainous warfare in WWII.  That training paid off for the USA helping the Allied Forces to win WWII securing a life of freedom for all of us.  Over 60 ski areas in the U.S. can trace their roots to 10th Mountain warriors.   One 10th mountain guy said  "you can play golf or tennis...but skiing is a lifestyle".  Click to learn more about CLIMB to GLORY.

Aspen Weather threw a bash at Sky Hotel to celebrate their 1000 th subscriber.  Everyone was partying like a hurricane, especially Corey and Ryan.  

Later that night D.J. Folami and Berkel Beats headlined the Belly Up, Aspen.  All the dub-steppers were bouncing like Mo-Fo's.  Plus it was Berkel's dirty thirty...so you know it was the shiz-nit.

The 13th annual Bonnie's Party went off like an avi bomb.  It was a multi-generational affair that again went the distance and had to be closed down by ski patrol. 

After all that skiing and partying my system shut down, but click the pix.

THE ASPEN BOUNCE.

Local's Showcase at Belly Up Aspen.

Local's showcase at Belly Up. Click 4 pix.Local's Showcase night at Belly Up is always a jam. From time to time Belly Up offers their stage to various local musicians and opens the doors with no cover charge.   Belly Up has developed a reputation as one of the finest venues in the country and everybody gets pumped up for a free night of music and fun.  Playing Belly Up is a BIG DEAL for these talented locals.   Selling it out and getting the joint jumping is even bigger.

Last night the local talent focused on Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and featured homies T. Smash (Teddy Leibowitz) and Berkel Beats (Nathan Robert Berkel). Over the past few years AspenSpin has watched the progression of these two local EDM artists.   Both guys are breaking out...playing bigger and more important gigs around Aspen and beyond. They both killed it at Belly Up, Aspen ...in front of a capacity crowd. The house was packed, the drinks were flowing and the beats were thumping at Belly Up.  Thanks to T. Smash, Aspen Spin got all access.  We shot sick pix on-stage, back stage and on the dance floor.
