Interesting story in the Colorado Sun -- what a good news source! Interestingly, two years ago I took a clinic to learn how to teach skinning. The clinician recounted a story of a client who took a skinning lesson at Buttermilk, and made a lap uphill, only to ride the lift downhill. They did another lap with the same result!

Some of the people in Aspen are just plain different...

This was Lance Armstrong's {pretty frequent Aspen resident} Instagram post today. Skiing up Buttermilk on his comp'd Atomic setup.
Note his comments: "I prefer the uphills...." Yeah, Lance has quite a motor!

As soon as I saw the thread title I was going to mention that post by Lance Armstrong! I love his quote about preferring the uphill :golfclap:!
