This year we hosted 48 people at the incredible Hearthstone House over about a two week period – so thank you Scott the manager and thank you staff of the Hearthstone as everyday we hand made breakfast and in the late afternoon we had 2 hours of cocktails with hors devours – so thank you Scott.  We also hosted parties just for our group which included wine, beer, and heavy hors devours and a few photos below

Arden and I are thankful to have our friends come out and celebrate life with us so thank you all.  This year some of us we climbed Mt Elbert the second highest peak in the Continental United Sates at 14,400 feet and many of us hiked, biked, white water rafted, paddle boarded, horseback rode, fly fished and then in the evening would go to the world famous opera, theater, symphony and music performances.  Sometimes in the early afternoon we would go and hear World Class lectures by the aspen Institute about world happenings and thoughts . Some photos below and I will start with photos of activities below

Some biking photos of both Mountain biking and rail trail biking but only Charlie and Brandy did the mountain biking at Snowmass and  it is awesome. I rode about 170 miles not bad and the biking-hiking trails are some awesome as almost of the the bike trails have their own bridge or tunnel with no cars and photos below
