Growing Up Aspen - Adventures of the Unsupervised

Life in Aspen has always been full of surprises. The small ski town tucked away in the Rocky Mountains has gone through many phases over the years, each bringing something new and exciting to explore. 

Through it all, one constant remains: the children of Aspen have seen it all. From its humble beginnings as a mining village to its current status as an international winter playground, generations of kids have watched their home grow and evolve around them with eyes full of wonder and curiosity. 

In this book, we will follow these intrepid adventurers as they journey through time - from when they first learned how to ski on Buttermilk Mountain to when they became the first snowboarders on Highlands mountain - exploring every nook and cranny along the way. We'll encounter colorful locals that give us insight into what life was like before the billionaires began flooding in; we'll hear stories about secret adventures only known by those who grew up here; we'll laugh at some funny memories shared between friends; and we'll be inspired by tales of courage from those brave enough to take risks for a better future for everyone. 
 

This book is not just about skiing or snowboarding – it's about community spirit, friendship, adventure, growth…and most importantly having fun! So come along with us – let's discover together why so many people love calling Aspen home!
