Vail Valley Voices: The high price of gold

My friend had spent his life as a physical therapist who combined his exercise programs with a combination of Zen, weights, running, vitamins and a complex mixture of health foods. His results were phenomenal and, of course, very expensive. He had semi-retired a couple of years ago and his prices had skyrocketed from their already expensive levels. His dad said, "It's worth it because this spring in the J-4 division of ski racing my son was in the top 10. When he finishes this dry land strength training, his mother will go with him to New Zealand for the racing circuit down there, including the races in Australia. They should only be gone about four weeks of competition and travel.” The odyssey continues with the plan for the rest of the year. When they return to their hometown of Aspen, they will take Labor Day off and then come here to the island for more strength training by dragging that gigantic tractor tire up and down the dirt road back in the woods. School starts in Aspen in the middle of September, but they are hoping to get him a slot at one of the top academies here in the West so he can gauge his improvement against some of the kids who beat him in the J-4 division last spring. There are only four other families I know of who are on a similar schedule of racing and training as they are with their son. The kid is now almost 14 years old, and it will be another 10 years of this kind of travel and training, as his dad says, before he might start to get on the podium occasionally. Right now, there are about a dozen kids his age at each of the major resorts in American who could win at any time and in any race. I wonder, are his father and mother living what they wished their life had been through the muscles of their kid and their wallet? One of them is a daughter and she could not care less about going through slalom gates instead of free skiing. She thinks skiing is all about freedom, and why complicates it with gates? The middle son is a snowboarder, and as long as dad buys his season pass and his equipment for him, he couldn't care less about anything except powder snow and leaping off of high cliffs.

July 16, 2011 - The high flows from this Winter's deep snow melt are overflowing banks. A road with culverts washed out in north Breckenridge 2 days ago. Water is over banks along the Blue River above the Dillon Reservoir and the Blue River below the reservoir. In the South Forty subdivision, water is approaching the yards of houses along the river. The lake/reservoir continues to inch upwards to the full mark and is within a few inches but there has been no update on the actual level in a couple days.
