This is your chance to get to the Snowmass Cross-Country Center for an X-C ski or snowshoe by the light of a beautiful Colorado moon.
Post blogger Jim Vail has spent over 100,000 miles on the road hereabouts and he's got a few choice thoughts for RFTA.
Post blogger Jamie Lynn Miller ventures into terra cognita at the Pitkin County Democratic caucus. "Every 3½ years or so," she blogs, "I really care about politics. I try to care as much the 3½ years leading up to it but things get in the way – powder day after powder day, live music, another day in paradise. But I think it’s better to care, even some of the time, than to not care at all. I was watching the Democratic debates on youtube, when it suddenly occurred to me if I really wanted to be informed, or at least aware, I should watch the Republican debates as well."

SNOWMASS, COLORADO (Post Time News)–The Town of Snomass Village is going to get its name-brand hotel after all.
Pat Smith–president of Related Westpac, the developer of Base Village–said on the “Con Games with Michael Conniff” radio show on KNFO radio (106.1 FM) that Snowmass would in fact see a chain hotel like Marriot or Westin in the conference hotel facility planned for the town. The conference space in the hotel in the West Village, AKA the Snowmass Mall, will complement the Viceroy Hotel approved for Base Village.

One of the original meanings of “overwhelm” is to submerge completely and stems from around the year 1450. Picture a small boat washed over by a gigantic wave. Well, I feel like that boat right now, or rather a person in that boat flailing, whelmed by emotions, offset by a surge of curiosity from people itching to know more about stem cell therapy. A part of me thinks, I can’t possibly keep up with the influx of calls and emails, yet my intuitive knowing reassures me that I can handle the onslaught. I have received a God-given gift of life. I am the first United States Citizen to have received Human Embryon ic Stem Cell Treatment from Dr. Geeta Shroff in India, and I cannot turn my eyes, ears, or my awakened body to a culture crying out for a cure.

“Yes Dr. Ashish. Deal! I’ll move my right hamstring, I promise!” I made this statement with complete confidence…and in front of Dale, with both of our eyes focused on my lower right leg as I lay on my side isolating my upper body and hip flexors; I moved my right hamstring on command! My leg and foot moved backwards from the knee down. The movement was slight (an inch or two is all) but it was there. I then sat up with glee and said, “Let me try my toes.”

SNOWMASS, COLORADO–If you can feel for a corporation than I feel for Related WestPac. I really do. Because no matter what they do here–even if they do everything right–they have to live with what came before and the chaos of construction here that is still to come.
People around here hate developers. It’s that simple. No matter how many good things Related WestPac president Pat Smith does, there are those who live here who will still hate him merely because he’s a developer–and because of what he inherited. Pat Smith is the custodian of the soul of a town that has spent the better part of the recent past in development hell.

BASALT, COLORADO–They came in peace but they left in a Prius.
At the Peace Ranch parking lot here Saturday night, one Prius after another was stacked up and ready for lift-off, like so many carbonizers at the Indianapolis 500. The Priuses in question–is that the plural of Prius?–were shiny, new, and righteous, for they were ready to transport the thousands of people who wended their way to one of the more remote corners of Basalt for the RMI:25 celebration of the Rocky Mountain Institute, the “think and do tank” so green it leaves rivals green with envy. And what better place for a hybrid than a hoe-down where the back-patting for what RMI has wrought was nothing less than thunderous?
Like one of those old Republican conferences on family values, the RMI celebration would drive those on the other side of the debate absolutely bonkers.
