How the Off-season Blues Led Me Straight to the River

by Damien Williamson, Roaring Sports Staff Writer
Monday, May 5, 2008
It was May 1. The fair mountains of the upper Roaring Fork Valley had just been blanketed with yet another fresh layer of the white stuff, and the temperature in town was hovering slightly above freezing. For my part, I had just wrapped up a round of altogether-too-soon off-season vacations and was hoping, as in previous years, that the snow line on Aspen Mountain had, at the very least, receded to the top of Little Nell run. Alas, someone must have applied the Rogaine.

So, still lamenting the fact that winter had obviously disregarded that moment of astronomical significance known as the vernal equinox, I contented myself by sitting around half asking, half demanding to know why Ullr wanted to keep rubbing the epic winter in our collective faces.

12 Hours in De Beque

by Jonathan Bastian, Roaring Sports Staff Writer
Monday, April 21, 2008

Drive due west, past Glenwood and beyond the bubble of the Roaring Fork Valley. Continue on past Rifle and through Parachute as gas prices plummet, the altitude drops, the sun sharpens and the white-painted peaks of the Rockies begin to fade in the rear view mirror.

On this stretch of Highway 70, and just about 33 miles before being assailed by the metropolis of Grand Junction, there is a stock-green sign sitting quietly on the side of the road — DeBeque. Take that right hand turn, roll the windows down, slow your speed to about 35 mph and prepare to enter a sleeping hamlet that would normally pass as a mile marker for your trip to Moab or  odyssey to Vegas.

Horoscopes

  • Aries
    • Where you thought it might be difficult to reach an agreement, you discover otherwise. The unexpected earmarks your actions but doesn't toss plans into chaos. You could be surprised by a late offer. Tonight: Say yes.

  • Taurus
    • Knowing your limits becomes clear after a discussion. You might need to back down, for your own good. How you see a situation and what evolves could change. Creativity bubbles forth in a jam. Tonight: Look to a new experience or happening.

  • Gemini
    • Your creativity emerges, and you find a reason to take off early. After resolving an issue that could be quite challenging to some, you feel free and that you can relax. The only question you need to answer is, Why not? Tonight: Christen the weekend well.

  • Cancer
    • Basics count. You feel as if many possibilities evolve that might not normally. If you want, take the time to explore an option. Your sense of commitment could carry you through a rough period or two. Tonight: Finally, time for you and your loved ones.

  • Leo
    • Talk up a storm. Opportunities that involve friends strike. Your popularity soars within your immediate circle. The unexpected occurs within a partnership. Could this person be envious or jealous? Tonight: Hang out with a favorite person.

  • Virgo
    • You might want to defer to someone else. Your clarity and directness could determine the end results of a key or business discussion. Trust your judgment, especially if faced with a problem or hassle. Tonight: Postpone some shopping, if possible. You might regret your decisions.

  • Libra
    • You are the kingpin of adventure and change. Investigate and understand what needs to happen. Look toward travel, new communication and perhaps a connection with someone very different. Tonight: All smiles. Others cannot say no.

  • Scorpio
    • Know when to pull out and rethink a problem. Your ability to understand and gain insight helps you focus on the real issue. Your creativity flows from your centering. Communication could be overwhelming. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

  • Sagittarius
    • Friendship and good will pave the way, in business or in your private life. You could be tired or feel as if you cannot give any more. Be aware of the many different ways you could deal with a problem. Aim for the clear results. Tonight: TGIF.

  • Capricorn
    • Stay on top of your game. Understand what will happen if you allow some of your insecurity to enter your life. If you pull back, you could find that your own communication is a bit abrupt. Certainly this is not the time for major decisions. Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

  • Aquarius
    • You might want to rethink a decision. Tap in to your avant-garde thinking, and you'll see many possibilities that could work. If you are moving forward and breaking new ground, don't abandon the conventional either. Tonight: Balance your checkbook before you take off.

  • Pisces
    • Your unpredictability doesn't help you move in new directions. Others might offer a partnership or an agreement. Still, if you cannot stabilize, you won't be able to run with the offer in question. Tonight: Follow another's suggestion.
