Backbone Summer
Rumors of Carbondale, CO becoming the newly appointed center of the outdoor Universe are yet to be confirmed but recent activity in the surrounding satellite towns of Aspen, Vail and Keystone points to growing harmonic convergence.

In Aspen, the Polartec Athlete Advisory Board convened with members Bill Belcourt, Janet Bergman, Michael Sillitch, Sari Anderson, Mike Kloser, Kelly Cordes, Nick Devore, Antoine Barthelemy, and Gord Betenia. Activities included climbing, paragliding, fly fishing, hiking and cycling.

In Vail, the annual Teva Mountain Games hosted top athletes, media and a record crowd of outdoor enthusiasts in the paddling, running, cycling and climbing world. The TMG blends art, music, and mountains like no other venue nationally along with a healthy dose of family fun. Take your pick with a World Cup Bouldering event, Stand Up Paddling or the Teva MXT Mud Run.
Is that TMG founder Joel Heath?

In Keystone, Boa Lacing Technology hosted an A Tier of media in a Colorado style spring-free-for-all; meaning skiing, snowboarding, cycling, running and golf in their new products for 2010. Beyond Colorado our very own Kara Armano landed her first permit on a fly in Mexico at Pescamaya Resort last week while fishing with Ross Purnell of Fly Fisherman magazine. Way to go Kara!

In case any of you think Carbondale actually stands a chance at supplanting real self-appointed beautiful people hang-outs insert-your-town-name-here, just give us a month or so. The jury is out until after the DreamTime Festival in Paonia and of course the all-time classic Carbondale Mountain Fair.
See you out there!
