THIS PAST WINTER kicked off with a big white bang, in both record snow and celebration. Our New Year’s Eve party, sponsored by the Viceroy Resort & Residences Snowmass and held at the St. Regis Resort, Aspen, hosted the most elegant and festive crowd to date. During ski season snow flew like never before, resulting in epic conditions and many GONE SKIING: SIX-INCH POWDER RULE signs on local storefronts.

Ski aficionados also tipped their hats to Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn, who raced their way to the first-ever American sweep of the men’s and women’s overall 2008 World Cup titles.

Aspen Youth Experience’s Celebrity Downhill weekend was nothing short of spectacular, with a star-studded patron party cohosted by Sharon and Chris Cain held at Daryl and Dallas Snadon’s beautiful home. During the annual ski race our Aspen Peak team rode with a charming young snowboarder from the AYE program. She was so surprised to see feathery flakes fall from the sky rather than snowballs “like in cartoons.” It’s always so refreshing to share a first-time Aspen experience. Since the winter season began with a bang, we had to end with one, too. The Fly Lounge opening party was a supersonic experience and created quite a buzz about town.

Looking ahead, the summer season is chock-full of special events. We’ll honor Boogie Weinglass, who as chairman of the Buddy Program has worked tirelessly for our valley’s at-risk youth for an impressive 35 years. We’re also celebrating extended Denver coverage, including Rockies’ World Series star Todd Helton, who takes us behind the batting cage. All eyes are on Denver for the 2008 Democratic National Convention, and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper is our newest contributor, giving his predictions for the incredible event.

Last but certainly not least, check out our new special home and design section—“Peak In + Out”—which celebrates our talented and innovative community of architects, builders, and designers.

Here’s to an amazing summer—Aspen living at its peak!
