ASPEN, COLORADO (Post Time News)--The Aspen Club & Spa has long been considered the one fitness institution around town with a worldwide reputaton. Now Aspen Club chief executive officer Michael Fox is pumped about getting local members of the community involved in a weekly summer event to benefit good causes in the Roaring Fork Valley.
“Tuesday Evenings at the Club will be designated as ‘Community Nights’ to benefit local charities around town,” Fox said. “We really hope this will be a great way to get locals out and mingle while supporting a good cause.”
The event should last from 5- 8 p.m. every Tuesday with a $25 admission charge to cover food, drinks and live entertainment. Fox said that Big Daddy Lee & The King Bees will be performing most Tuesdays throughout the summer at the Club during the party.
For the next two weeks proceeds from the Aspen Club happening will go to benefit the Susan B. Komen Foundation of Aspen, an organization that is dedicated to Breast Cancer awareness. The Komen Foundation is also responsible for the popular Race For the Cure hosted every summer in July.
“We’re already in the process of talking to a variety of local charities,” Fox said. “There are so many great foundations in Aspen that really should be recognized.”
We offer a free shuttle to the event, if you need a ride or want more information call 925-8900

WHAT'S NEW AT ASPEN/SNOWMASS
Here is the latest news from Aspen Skiing Company:
Snowmass -
The renaissance of Snowmass continues this season with the sleek, new eight-person Elk Camp Gondola - bringing guests from the new base village to the top of the Elk Camp Meadows in 8.5 minutes. Combined with last season's new Village Express six-pack and Sky Cab gondola, the lift network at Snowmass promises to whisk you up the mountain almost as fast as you can come down! Other on-mountain upgrades for 2006-2007 include a new and improved terrain park and halfpipe area while future projects such as the new Elk Camp Meadows activity center and the new Sam's Knob restaurant are just a season away.
With development underway on the new base village at Snowmass, families and guests alike will soon be able to enjoy a 25,000-square-foot adventure center, a 15,000 square-foot conference space and 64,000 square feet of shops, pubs and restaurants - all connected to the upper village by a two-minute gondola ride via the new Sky Cab.
Aspen -
After decades of faithful service, the Aspen Mountain gondola has received a complete overhaul with, most notably, 147 new Swiss made cabins, hung during the Spring of 2006. The new six-person cabins offer more interior space and floor-to-ceiling windows to soak in the surrounding vistas before plunging down the slopes.
Highlands -
Unveiled last season, the Deep Temerity triple chair at Aspen Highlands serves up some of the steepest lift-serviced skiing and riding in North America - opening up hundreds of acres of gladed and powdery terrain that, until now, remained inaccessible. For 2006-2007 additional acres will be added, solidifying this newly famous region as a must-hit for advanced or expert guests. After burning your way down Deep Temerity's 1,700 vertical feet, you'll find the speedy 7.3-minute ride back to the top a welcome respite.
Buttermilk -
As the undisputed home of the ESPN Winter X Games through 2010, Buttermilk's terrain park delivers the big features that have turned several local kids into both Olympians and X Games super stars. Outside of the park and pipe, Buttermilk remains North America's most ideal family learning destination, serviced primarily by the new West Buttermilk Express detachable quad chairlift as well as hundreds of friendly staff and instructors.

Road to the Olympics Begins in Aspen
With the Winter Olympics fast approaching, everyone at the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club is hopeful that the Americans can dislodge the Austrians and Swiss at the top of the podium. AVSC is a non-profit organization providing ski and snowboard programs to over 1,700 children and teens in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Our mission is to engage and excel - in other words, get kids hooked on winter sports and give them the training and support to fulfill their aspirations no matter what they are. Our top-tier athletes compete against other winter sports clubs with the ultimate goal of joining the U.S. National team. Once there, athletes take on the best in the world on the World Cup circuit and in the Olympics.
For those who tune in to the Winter Games and wonder where these athletes come from, they come from Clubs like ours and ski academies across the country. We were thrilled to have a current AVSC snowboarder, 16-year old Jordan Karlinski, qualify for the U.S. Snowboard Team this year. Jordie competes in Boardercross and is a hard-charging, fearless competitor. While she probably won't make the cut for the Olympics, she finished 3rd in the Gravity Games last year and keep your eye on her when the X-Games roll into town this January. You can read more about her here.
AVSC freestyle moguls skier Glenn Engelman has been making some waves as well. Engleman finished in a tie for 5th overall at the U.S. National Championships last year and recently made the cut to compete in Nor-Ams for the rest of the season. As his coach and AVSC Freestyle Program Director Eric Knight puts it, "He's now at the level below World Cup. It's the top group looking to make the U.S. Freestyle Team." For more on Glenn and teammate and AVSC's top female mogul skier Rachel Weitzenkorn, click here.
I'll have more news from the Club including our upcoming Go for the Gold Gala Event at the top of Aspen Mountain coming soon. For those of you coming to Aspen over the holidays, the conditions are great and the town is alive with activity! Happy Holidays to everyone!
