On a cold night in December, Chris Klug, former Olympic snowboarder medalist, sponsored a fundraiser event for organ donation, with hundreds of hikers and skiers marching up Aspen Mountain at twilight. Snow had been sparse at that point of the season, and something needed to be done. Yours truly and my friend, Katy Bartlet, put together an impromptu plea to the snow gods, to bring us what we craved for. And lo and behold, just as we finished our snow plow dance to Bruno Mars’ newly released “Locked Out of Heaven,” we received just what we needed and then some….15 inches of fluffy powder sent directly from heaven! The song became the biggest hit of the season, and so did the storm that accompanied the race. The evening was a huge success….in every way. It goes to show, the good Lord delivers even more than we could imagine, when your heart is in the right place! Thank you Chris, for all you do, and for a night that unlocked the gates of heaven to us who relish flying up and down our snowy mountains with unrestrained glee!
