...want a really low-effort ski trip, you can stay at the Inn at Aspen at the base of Buttermilk, where you can almost literally ski in and ski out. Or you can stay at Snowmass, the largest mountain in the area. Be warned--Snowmass is a separate community on its own, a short drive away from Aspen. Be sure to get a car if you're staying here...
Most environmentalists emphatically endorse conservation as a superior alternative to nukes. "Over the past decade, the U.S. has gotten seven times as much new energy from savings as from all the net increases of energy supply," asserts Amory Lovins, director of research at Rocky Mountain Institute in Snowmass, Colo. "Efficiency is a clear winner in the market, leaving everything else in the dust."

He made a few quick turns, then headed for a bump, took a huge jump, and landed in the middle of a lodge swimming pool, which was unoccupied. He swam around the pool collecting his equipment, which came off when he hit the water, climbed...
...ASPEN, COLO. Two hundred tricky miles west of Denver, Aspen- the world's largest ski resort-has four mountains. Buttermilk (9,720 ft.) caters to novices; Snowmass (10,645) and As pen Highlands (11,665) are for inter mediates; Aspen Mountain (11,212) is for experts. Aspen is a skier's town. People who patronize the area are more likely to spend their money on equipment than on clothing; they ski well and party hard. Long hair and gunfighter's mustaches are de rigueur among the younger men in the old mining town. A week: around...
