NEPSA / Entourage

Entourage

The theme for this years NEPSA Video Awards was Entourage. We fired this pic up from the AspenSpin archives just to get into the spirit. NEPSA is a contest for amateur film-makers. It retains the soul of the sport---none of these dude-bros are sponsored. They do it for the LOVE. AspenSpin has attended all 6 NEPSA Video Awards and this year's entrants were THE BEST EVER---by a large margin.

Its the Beavers

Design maven Paul Viola, with extreme-boarder Arabella Beavers and her hubby Jason.

Snow Sports Mafia

Don't poach lines from this crew, you'll be sorry. Semi-pro skier Cole Saari, Empire Apparel honcho Drew Ingardia, Jesse "the stomper" Dempsey and Tron threw down @ NEPSA.

Extreme Team

Ted Davenport took time off from hucking 1000 ft bridges and B.A.S.E- ing the W Hotel to judge NEPSA. His entourage included architect Rebecca Hill and ultra-radical photog, Tom Z.

Hey Cupcake.

At first glance, NEPSA's hosts looked like a couple o' hot chix with killa bods. In reality NEPSA was hosted by big mountain superstar Chris Davenport and shred-king Travis McClain.

The Producer

Pat Sewell (center) went huge with his film "Why its good to be a Skier". Tommy Z and Katie Mckirahan helped him to relax prior to the judging. Sewell took home first prize. $2000 in cold hard cash and $1000 in a Target gift card. When asked how he planned to use his winnings Sewell said " i'm gonna spend most of it on booze, parties and chicks, and then i'm gonna blow the rest of it" Right on Pat, your vid was STRONG, especially the Shadow Mountain lines.

Art please.

Local Artist Stanley Bell exhibited his work at NEPSA and The Meeting. He is part of the artists collective SAW. His work draws upon his urban upbringing and intermixes hallucinatory fragments of the urban landscape with the environment. His biggest fan is none other than the luscious Gretchen Koenig.

The Future

Young rippers ,Torin Yater-Wallace and Alex Ferreira enjoyed NEPSA (even on a school night). Torin is the #4 ranked ski racer in the Nation (11-15 age group), while Alex is the "top J-4 in America". Go fast boyz---we'll look for you on the podium.

It's All Good

Ski Alpinist Chris Davenport changed into his "man-clothes" at halftime to group up with local rippers Beth Slater, Greg Olsky and Ski Co. PR professional Meredith McKee.

Naka G

Celeb. DJ Naka G. kept the place bangin' @ NEPSA.

S. Bell's entourage

Artist Stanley Bell's entourage gettin' busy in the front row. Sara Beth Kingsolver, James McCotter, andTyler Lamseth took time our from raging to posse up with S. Bell and Gretchy.

Vail who?

Film maker/shredders; Brian "cotton-Kandy" Stanley and James "the brain" McCotter hitched hiked over from Vail to double fist-it at NEPSA.

Sumo

Local rippers Kiffor Berg and Jeff King added a live sumo match to their film presentation. Needless to say--it got ugly and out of control and security was called in before someone got hurt.

High Society

High Society Free Ride founders, Jason Flynn and Reggie Charles were in the VIP section. We think High Society should "sack up" and harness the power that is...... AspenSpin.com. Get on the train boyz---we're goin' BIG.

AspenFreeRide.com

Mike Cuseo founder of AspenFreeRide.com won the Audience Award for "I know that guy". Cuseo's film showed footage of the late John Nicoletta and the crowd loved it. He pointed up in a shout out 4 Johnny.

Gold / Silver / Bronze

The Wheeler stage became a make-shift podium for the NEPSA winners. Pat Sewell (1st). Mike Cuseo (2nd) and Ryan Halverson and Jamie Culp (3rd) took in the love. It was exciting to see the quality and creativity in all of this year's NEPSA entrants. Even Vail legend Chris Anthony's work showed promise.

Shhhh, don't tell.

The Dad of Rad, Seth Morrison was in Aspen---but shhhh, he didn't attend The Meeting. He hung with Oakley playa, Greg Strokes.

I'm in trouble

When Seth Morrison realized how viral the pix on AspenSpin would become--he knew he was in trouble. Snowmass ski-patroller Dave Kruse and rookie of the year hopeful Tiffany Lomay joined his entourage.

The Stroker

Greg Strokes and Tiffany Lomay are bringin' sexy back. Some consider them to be the brunette version of J.T. and Brittney. We say--"go wit it".

Break Out Skilz

The season hasn't even started yet and two very viable rookie of the year candidates are strutting their skilz with Andy-Party. Carley and Tiffany love the camera---and the camera loves them. When asked about this photo Andy-Party gave us a firm "no comment".

Just another night

Its not a day ending in Y unless Johnny Aspen makes the scene. Here he parties with Kristen LaMotte from Sentient, retailing scion Jeff Gorsuch and event expert Debra Doyle.

The Tribe has Spoken

It was a unanimous vote, Aspen's sexiest bartenders Chris (The Rock) and Sara (so sweet) allowed their image to be published on AspenSpin.com

Glenwood Gals

Harley ridin' Nancy Bronaugh and her B.F.F. Leah Palton rode East on Highway 82 and into the Big time. Hottie Dave provides the human shrapnel in the background.

Club Kids

The Aspen Club team fields a strong lineup of hotties. Nicole Chambers, Courtney Smith and Alaina Dodds brighten up the night at the after party.

Late Night

Things got a little crazy late night. Jordan (everyone knows Jordan), Jason Flynn from High Society FreeRide and sushi artist Chris Sheppard took it deep into Friday morning,
