Hunter Thompson watch: I’ve been interested to see if the Hunter Thompson worship would tone down and realism set in. Michael Conniff, a self proclaimed liberal columnist and radio host here in the Aspen area, frequently comes up with well-thought views. He is not impressed.
And on a lighter note, check out this column about fist fights on the slopes, by Roger Marolt, one of my favorite local writers. Man oh man… I guess ski areas can be kinda dangerous…but not because of cliffs…better go backcountry skiing or bring your brass knuckles if you decide to “hit” the resort!
