Saddle Sore: First ski dream of the season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The trail was very narrow, and some guy making those hip-thrust, stiff-legged-like turns was a little bit too close behind me, and he finally hollered, “Move over.” Yeah, right Bucky, you’ll probably kill me on the way by. So, I cranked it up. And there we were, suddenly on wide terrain, like Snowbowl and Strawpile combined, and I figured to let the guy eat a little smoke from my skis. He weighed about 250, it looked like, poles too long; I didn’t want him trying to climb up my back at a high ra
Saddle Sore: A long lunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jack was pasturing some cows for my son-in-law and daughter. He asked if my daughter Lauren and I could come up and move the cows to a higher elevation, up to his private ground, his Shangri-La in the mountains. Ty was busy haying; well, of course, we’ll come up and get it done. I took my new horse, a 5-year old red roan, Easy, fresh out of eastern Montana. My son-in-law had found him at a sale, thought he’d be perfect to replace my big blue roan, Drifter, and away we went. This was going to be
Saddle Sore: Tough it out, boys (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been a bad year, moisture-wise, and despite the generous forecasts by weather folks, it doesn’t look like it’s going to get better any time soon. There is, as one would expect, a rash of worry and conversation over climate change. But before we get into that, it may be of interest to note the travails of local friends trying to extend their records of having skied in every month of the year, for years. I mention that for a couple of reasons, one being that there was discussion in The Aspen
Saddle Sore: Racking up stories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A writer for a large magazine called me the other day, wanting to do an interview about Aspen, of all places. She thought maybe I could provide a link between “old” Aspen and what we have today. Of course, throw in a bit of ranching â plenty of it then, not so much now. We just made an appointment to talk later, but our short conversation got me thinking about it personally. Today, all the serious skiers, or at least most of them, rent lockers near the base of Aspen Mountain. That was unheard
Saddle Sore: Never figured to have trouble at my house (opens the original)
Read excerpt
First, it was the horses, a short distance from the tent, stomping and moving around the best they could, even though tied up. “Yeah, they do that sometimes,” I said, “let’s let ’em work it out if they can. Whatever it is will probably move on.” And then, strange snuffling along the tent wall, next to my head, moving slowly. “Bear!” I quietly whispered to my buddy, Roy Holloway, bunked on the other side of the tent. “What’ll we do?” he asked, to which my reply was, “We don’t want the SOB in this
