Concert On Aspen Mountain
Last year's Blues Traveler concert at the base of Ajax.
There was another great free concert on Ajax tonight, with Robert Randolph & The Family Band. It was to close out the women’s World Cup races over the weekend here, and to kick off the ski season. The night included fireworks up on the mountain too!!
This photo is actually from when Blues Traveler played the same concert last year. The stage is on the far left of the frame, with the gondola plaza in the middle, and The Little Nell hotel on the right (where I now work!). I love how the scene almost looks fake, with the snow and the lights.

Fireworks Over Aspen
Fireworks for the Food & Wine Classic illuminate the ridge ofShadow Mountain.
Feelin’ the need to celebrate Opening Day for the 2008 ski season here in Aspen, and of course, Thanksgiving! So, I thought I’d share a photo of fireworks from Food & Wine last year… which, coincidentally rang in the last day of the phenomenal ‘07 ski season. The Aspen Mountain ski area re-opened for the weekend of The Food & Wine Classic last year, because we still had SO much snow up there!
I was just outside town, right by the Maroon Creek golf course, so the fireworks lit up the Shadow Mountain ridgeline very nicely here.

Snowmass Summer Concerts
Freddy Jones Band at Snowmass Summer Concert Series, on 4th of July weekend.
Today was beautiful and warm here… which made me recall some of the fun summer events, including the free concerts on the hill at Snowmass ski area! One of my favorites this summer was The Freddy Jones Band on July 3rd, as seen here. There was some rain in the distance, and you can see a faint rainbow right above the acoustic guitarist there, as the sun was setting.
