Aspen is great. I moved out there in the early 90's from Detroit with my pal Dexter Rutecki to be ski instructors. Became the best skier on the mountain, lost ole Dex, gained a nice lady named Robin who DJ's for the local radio station and lived happily ever after.

Love to see you getting wined and dined now! It all started with the season passes you and your pops got for free. Aspen was like, ok we can do better... Now all the resorts should follow. Everyone wants Lucas to review their mountain and everything they have to offer. I can honestly say, that when I plan on traveling to a new resort, I look up your videos to see if you went so I can get your perspectives. You're a marketing icon now, Lucas. Run with it!

Hit the pine cone lost control of my handle bar, hit the curb and flipped onto sidewalk. First ambulance ride. BTW, always scarred for you when you go through those narrow trees.

Skiing is a dangerous game. Ski patrol does their absolute best to mitigate avalanche risk for us resort skiers but that risk is NEVER zero. There is always a possibility of avalanche danger.
