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.
