Aspen Podcast

Welcome to Aspen Podcast Season 2!  
With events on hold due to the pandemic the podcast took a hiatus, but the new season starts today!  

This week Jason sat down with Kate Huang from Jing Aspen, an Asian fusion restaurant on Main Street, to talk about Chef Frank’s delicious food, putting family first, and why young people are flocking to the sushi bar.  Throughout the pandemic Jing stayed open and served takeout food, not closing a single day, which gave Kate a unique perspective on who is visiting Aspen these days.  

This week, Jason sat down with Alex Palmaz from Aspen Paragliding to talk about the beauty of flying in the mountains, tandem paragliding with a 7 foot tall guy, and getting mentioned on Lance Armstrong’s podcast.  Alex has been flying for nearly 30 years, giving him a unique perspective on Aspen and what the future may hold. 

If you are interested in paragliding, give Alex a call at 970-925-6975.

This week Jason sat down with Elliot Audette to talk about Snowmass Village Trivia, trying new things in the Roaring Fork Valley, and where to dine for that pre-COVID feeling. As Trivia Master, Elliot continues to rethink what trivia nights look like during a pandemic and what they might look like in the future.  

Right now Elliot has 14 episodes of trivia night online, just search Snowmass Village Trivia on Instagram, YouTube or Facebook to get involved!

This week Jason sat down with Kevin Jordan to talk about the renaissance of mountain biking, the Snowmass Bike School, and how change equals opportunity.  As the Bike School Manager since 2010, Kevin shared some insights on how the sport is growing and why he is excited for the future. 

This week Jason sits down with Kevin Byford, co-owner of Aspen Bikes, to talk about e-bikes, paddle boarding North Star, and how bicycles are the new toilet paper.  Kevin has run the shop since 1999 with two friends, Ed Garland and Paul Williams, and wonders if COVID just might give Aspen the break it needs.
