Aspen Snowmass is a place of rejuvenation. There is a certain energy that can be felt as soon as you arrive; a feeling of calm that permeates the air. X Games icon and long-time Aspen resident Gretchen Bleiler knows this and that’s why she has built not only her career there, but her life as well. “Stir The Soul” captures this aura that surrounds Aspen Snowmass from downtown Wagner Park, the immaculate terrain parks of Buttermilk Mountain and all the way to the top of Highlands Bowl, home to some of the best controlled backcountry terrain in Colorado.
Off the mountain, this community is vibrant. World class chefs and eateries are found from street to street, as well as galleries of artists that have realized the power of artistic expression from this tremendous place. The nightlife is beyond lively, making it one of the most entertaining places off the mountain as it is on.
Last but certainly not least, the potential for extraordinary snowboarding attracts some of the best riders in the world. There is a reason X Games has called Aspen Snowmass home for what will be 13 years: The care and resources that are given to its parks each season makes them a reason to ride in itself.
Watch Episode One of “Mind Body Spirit: Stir The Soul” and discover why the mountains surrounding Aspen Snowmass are a continued source of inspiration for Gretchen Bleiler, and could be for you as well.
