The Gondolacast

Kristy and Stephanie join Andrew for a windy ride and propose future naked Gondolacasts. Like the good ol' days, a few strangers learn about each other, talk ski runs, and figure out that everyone goes to CU Boulder.

Whiskey on Monday anyone? Join the Gondolacast for a few drams with master distiller and VP of Operations for Woody Creek Distillers, David Matthews. Some whiskeys are brought along and we talk about (or drink) the pipeline. Once again proving why Woody Creek is worthy of the buzz and accolades. A synergistic special guest spots us in line and joins for round 2!

Legends coalesce to rip some turns and shoot the shit. The Freaks, dubbed "the most notorious ski gang in Aspen," - members Baker Boyd, Chase DeMeulenaere, Mark and Morris Hogan show Andrew why they live up to the hype. RIP and hats off to Sam Coffey and Wallace Westfeldt.

One of Aspen's most boldest and beautifulest, Othello Clark, hops on the Snowmass gondola for a few laps with the Gondolacast. We talk about how the Aspen black community has grown from 2 to 100, his role in establishing the first skateboard shop, soap operas and much more.

The second installment chronicling multiple waves of Ohioan winter enthusiasts who have migrated to Aspen with the promise of driving snowcats. After weeks of trying to coordinate, the Ajax gondola was shut down due to heavy winds. Thankfully the lift attendants let us in anyway...

Jesse Belle Denver and her husband Eli, join forces with Oliver Bacharach to talk about their fathers' successes in music and in life as they carry on two separate legacies of some of Aspen's most beloved men. Each have carved out their own paths in the valley spreading music, love, healing, and ice cream along the way.

*Correction* Jesse Belle's (and John Denver's) real last name is Deutschendorf, meaning German Village not shower village (duche). Sounded cool though :)

Local professional skier, Colter Hinchliffe, and Andrew try Gondolacasting on the Bell Chair and Couch between powder runs- discovering that Andrew sucks big time at removing wind post production. They discuss the positives and negatives of skiing for a living, or living for skiing and have a good ol' time catching their breath on Aspen's slowest chairs.

Andrew takes two bucket laps with different groups of strangers. Thanks to Buck Erickson, Kelly Klein, Greg Ernst on lap one and Dave and Rosemary for round two. Corona virus can't touch skiing's ability to bring people together.

After a screeching halt in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Andrew steps back in the gondola with some strangers. A trio of undocumented Brazilians take a ski trip to Aspen...

Ever done yoga or danced in Aspen? If so, there is a good chance you have been hypnotized by one of these three cool cats. Three laps with Courtney Smith, the founder of Thug Yoga and two of Aspen's most notorious DJs - Berkel Beats & Naka G. With the current Covid-19 pandemic and the closing of all Colorado ski resorts, this will likely be the last Gondolacast for awhile. Stay safe and make sure you are subscribed! To be continued...
