Apres Ski - A Favorite Aspen Colorado Activity
While après ski in general is one of the most popular Aspen, Colorado activities, some venues are more interesting to me than others. Recently, I was invited to a guest/invite après ski at one of the iconic Aspen hotels the other day, and a Gluhwein Party broke out!
At the Mountain Chalet Aspen I found music, laughter, conviviality, appetizers – and of course gluhwein.
I don’t drink alcoholic beverages, but I was curious as to just exactly what gluhwein (or “glow-wine”) was. I didn’t take the opportunity to ask about the Mountain Chalet’s particular recipe ( I don’t know if it’s a secret or not), but according to Wikipedia it is generally:
“…prepared from red wine, heated and spiced with cinnamon sticks, cloves, star aniseed, citrus, sugar and at times vanilla pods…”.
It sounded good!
The term, glow-wine, apparently comes from “…the hot irons once used for mulling”, but I was told by one of the proprietors that the phrase is also a reference to its propensity for making its imbibers' faces “glow”.
All I know is that all of guests at the party seemed to be having a great time and many were really enjoying the novelty of the theme.
Paragliders in Aspen Colorado - Slideshow
While I’ve most recently been blogging about my recent indoor
activities, I have been getting outside as well, and I got to see some
paragliders landing at Northstar Nature Preserve just outside of Aspen
while I was doing some cross-country skiing.
It’s the
first time I’ve taken the opportunity to photograph a landing in
sequence. As with the gluhwein party, the participants appeared to be
enjoying themselves immensely.
These occasions certainly reminded me of the variety of entertaining Aspen Colorado activities - I look forward to the rest of the season!

Lee and Roberto additionally used a pneumatic cam system to clamp the material whereas aggressively cutting it. During Sallye Coyle’s Bucket Hats for Men first go to to Cerro Pacific, she and Plant Manager Roberto Carillo evaluated whether or not a ShopBot gantry software may exchange the bandsaw methodology for making the 3, 4 and 5 step risers. During the preliminary exams, they arrange the ShopBot with the standard help board and sacrificial board and used screws to carry the material in place.
