In the third year the Snowmass 50 which formerly went under the Power of Four name has been held exclusively in Snowmass Village, the locals and the younger generation shined bright.
The Snowmass 50 is a highly contested mountain bike race that traverses the many trails at Snowmass Ski Area. Participants must complete two 25-mile loops that gain nearly 10,000 feet in elevation throughout the trail race.
This year the event offered three divisions, a 50-mile solo race, 25-mile solo race, and a 50-mile team race where each member does a single lap in the relay.
A new film about Hunter S. Thompson’s 1970 campaign for sheriff in Aspen is being released in limited movie theaters in the U.S. on Friday. It is not yet playing Aspen, but is playing nearby at the Roaring Fork Valley’s Movieland in El Jebel.
“Fear and Loathing in Aspen,” written and directed by Bobby Kennedy III, stars Jay Bulger as Thompson in a dramatized account of the local hippie-led reform movement and revolutionary “Freak Power” campaign.
The film has followed a winding five-year-long road to this quiet release from Shout! Factory.
Its production was funded by $300,000 in rebates granted by Colorado’s Economic Development Commission in 2016. At the time it had a $1.85 million budget, according to a Denver Post report. But Kennedy later told the Aspen Daily News that the non-government money had been promised by Sony and that his team walked away from that deal due to creative differences, proceeding instead with a shoestring $250,000 budget.
