Lo-Fidelity: Summer 2026 in Aspen, a post mortem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At the beginning of summer, it felt like I got shot out of a cannon. Now it’s October, and I feel like I got shot by a cannon. Let’s be perfectly honest: The events here are absolutely incredible, but sometimes, I suffer from event-fatigue. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m fried. This is my brain on Aspen. Aspen is the undisputed, reigning event champion of Colorado ski towns. If you tallied the number of events starting with Food & Wine and finishing with JAS Labor Day, I wonder what num
Lo-Fidelity: Never judge a book by its cover (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On its cover, Aspen insinuates a highly competitive, athletic-leaning town. Yet, just beneath the glossy surface lies an acutely well-read subculture where bookworms and dangerously underestimated, hi-IQ’d nerds flourish. All over town â in beds, on couches, in quiet corners of Explore Books, coffee shops or the local library â and sometimes in an aspen grove or the shade of a blue spruce tree near the river, they sit quietly and read. The dedicated bookworms of Aspen â of which there are
Lo-Fidelity: Wow. Is that a real Jarrett Stidham jersey? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll bet you a hundred bucks I’m the only one in Aspen with a Jarrett Stidham jersey. Wait. Who’s Jarrett Stidham again? He’s the Denver Bronco’s backup quarterback. Last year, when our star quarterback Bo Nix broke his ankle on what seemed to me like a relatively innocuous play in overtime against Buffalo, it was backup quarterback Stidham’s time to shine. Right on cue, like the consistent fool that I am, I dove headfirst into cyberspace and bought a Stidham jersey. I fancied myself being “the
Lo-Fidelity: ‘Heâs on the juice’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have a sneaking suspicion there are middle-aged men in our very midst taking steroids. Why? Because I just happen to be a middle-aged dude who lifts the stones of vanity to what end, and there’s no way in H-E double-hockey-sticks that guys my age are carrying around that kind of muscle mass at this altitude without the help of some type of twisted pharmaceutical bag-man at their side. At this phase of “man-o-pause,” I’m shedding muscle mass faster than a 12-year old Golden Retriever all hopped
Lo-Fidelity: Labor Day in Aspen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Work is the one thing there’s no shortage of in Aspen. Technically, every day here is Labor Day; we only celebrate the never-ending drudgery once a year. And when I say “labor,” I mean actual, concrete, physical work â as in manual labor. If you look around today’s Aspen, we’re surrounded by construction. Not just run-of-the-mill construction projects; rather, we’ve entered into an era of enormous, super-industrial, legacy ventures on nearly every downtown corner, corridor and quadrant of town
