The Gondolacast

Barclay Dodge, chef & owner of Bosq restaurant in Aspen, takes a ride with old pal and restauranteur, Rob Ittner. The first Michelin star of Aspen, wild berries, and the general restaurant landscape are among the conversations. On skis, Barclay proves he can rip it with the top 1% of Gondolacast participants.

Jason Flynn, cofounder of High Society Freeride, takes a couple laps for the first Gondolacast of the 23/24 season. Native and long time ski professional, Katrina Devore hops on bucket number two alongside Carol, who has twice as many winters under her belt as years alive.

Andrew connects with Sheriff Michael Buglione, freshly elected and sworn into office at the beginning of 2023. Deputy Anthony Todaro suits up (in his ski gear) and Deputy Kent Taylor takes a double loop with the head honcho.

Andrew gets 2 cabin rides in at Snowmass with Sonya Auvray, founder of Dona Vega Mezcal and Karina Perez-Marconi, founder of Antedotum. Their skin ages one year with the mezcal shot and somehow gets younger with application of sunscreen.

Andrew takes two rides with Reuben Sadowsky- Aspen native, renaissance man, and co-founder of the Beyul Retreat. Located up the Frying Pan drainage outside of Basalt, Reuben and his team are bringing new meaning to the "Aspen Idea." The conversation starts there and ends on quantum blueberries.

The Russians are...here. In 2022 a chain reaction of events rocked Aspen and reverberated around the world. David Krause, Andrew Travers, and Roger Marolt were at the center of the controversy and share their stories over three Gondola rides.

Three fellas in town for Aspen's annual Gay Ski Week get locked in a gondola cabin with Andrew. Things get a little weird...

The Gondolacast is back after a one year break. Andrew connects with Skippy Mesirow, Jamie Butemeyer, John Doyle, and Luke Tonar. Skippy embarks on a campaign for reelection and we solve all of Aspen's housing problems in 45 minutes. You're welcome.

Andrew joins up with old pallies Charlie Lasser and Stephen Smith, accompanied by Nicole and Steak House Eric. These brave souls expose that despite an ongoing pandemic, hundreds of ski bums chose to triumphantly ascend Aspen Mountain for a good old rip on closing day.

Andrew links up with old comrades who make up the highest level of freeskiing judges in the world. Since Aspen/Snowmass has stepped up to host multiple competitions during the pandemic, these fellas are spending more time in Aspen than usual. We link up for some laps but sadly fail to catch the European judges for a session. Thanks to Ian Meader, Dan Allen, Jason Arons, and surfer bro Theo Crowley.
