Hey TCS (and other smart folks)
I'm out in Aspen this week (before heading over to Maui!) and can not figure out who the hell "Little Annie" is! I'm eaten in her diner, seen her hotel, hiked her road and walked past her cabin. Who was she!?!?!? Thanks! (Damn this place looks different in the summer!) Dave |

Hey TCS (and other smart folks)
I believe that the correct term is "knowledgeable", not "smart". If I was smart I would be selling all this trivia info instead of giving it away on the Internet. Another possible answer: Maybe Annie is John Denver's wife. He wrote a song about her called "Annie's Song". That didn't stop theri marriage from breaking up, however. (I understand she didn't like flying in private planes. Sorry - bad, bad.) TCS (The Colorado Skier) Loveland opens in less than 3 months. |

(I understand she didn't like flying in private planes. Sorry - bad, bad.) Or at least not the experimental kind. Wasn't the plane Denver crashed in a push-propeller model? Speaking of Aspen and John Denver, there's a really terrific book "Whiteout - Lost in Aspen" by Ted Conover. It's Conover's account of living in Aspen, driving a cab, and scamming his way on the fringes of the Aspen high-life. John Denver (and his palatial home) makes an appearance. There's also a really hilarious and obscene parody of "Country Roads", which I will not repeat here. Good off-season reading. Dave |

I'll look for it; But my recommendation for good off-season reading is Mike Wilson's "Right on the Edge of Crazy" about the downhillers. Or for wannabee retrogrouches, Minnie Dole's memoir of pre-war skiing and the formation of the 10th Mtn, titled "Adventures in Skiing" I believe. |

I'm in the middle of Krakauer's _Under the Banner of Heaven_. Yikes. If I was the father of a pre-teen girl, I'd forget Utah for the next family trip. (Unfair stereotype, I know, but yikes). bw |

Krakauer's my least favorite author after the hatchet job he pulled on Boukreev. Doesn't mean I don't read his work - he writes well, about stuff I'm interested in - but I don't trust anything he says without independent confirmation from reliable sources. (In this case the beer situation, personally experienced, provides all the confirmation anyone would need to support what you so generously describe as the "Utah yikes" factor.) |
