The adventures of MauiSkiBus has many fine moments and one was from Aspen. Chuck Leavitt, and his entertaining wife Emily, joined MauiSkiBus at Aspen Mt. A fine day was skied by the three, with MauiSkiBus introducing Emily to the classic old ski patrol hut at the top of Ajax. Moguls runs were sliced by the three and après ski was well deserved by all. A stop by the Sky, then a jaunt to Aspen Hops, to fill voids in depleted stomachs. As the three sat at the bar, the bartender was sharing stories about MauiSkiBus to his crowd, stating tropical ski bum stories that had truth. After a bit, Chuck asked what the MauiSkiBus guy looked like and happy hoppin’ Matt looked and pointed to MauiSkiBusSteve! What a delightful moment, stories being told through lips of an alive man, before MauiSkiBus Steve was even departed.
Aspen will always have that reputation, that esteem, the feel of the past that is still so alive today. Walking the streets, whether looking for something, on a mission, or just wandering from here to the here, shall always in its own way, be equal to the famous streets of Paris, London, Rome, or the Big Apple. MauiSkiBus has planted seeds in Aspen and will return to feel the stories of the past.
