WHISTLER, B.C. - Most of the big questions of the ski world seem to get asked in Aspen first, and so it was that Aspen in the 1970s began asking: How much is too much? Aspen kept growing, eventually getting the fourlane highway that it had so long opposed, although not in the same manner as it might have. Much open space remains in this country club of the rich and hive of worker bees. In Winter Park, where Intrawest was developing real estate several years ago, its motto was: "Just enough." However much that was. Meanwhile, in Whistler, the same conversation continues in a different way. Taking stock of his community of the last 11 years, staff writer Andrew Mitchell of Pique Newsmagazine notes many losses: nighttime stars, empty restaurant tables, and so one. Just the same, he contends Whistler must diversify its portfolio of amusements and interests to match its hefty bed base. "None of us planned to move to a city, but we're living in one all the same. And while it's nice to pretend that we're still a small town, the reality is that we're a massive resort with a small town's worth of things to do," he of Colorado's highest peaks, 14,165-foot Kit Carson Peak. Residents of the nearby town of Crestone are petitioning to give the peak a new title. Mount Crestone. As reported by the Colorado Springs Gazette, the proposal is partly a referendum on the legacy of Kit Carson, the mountain man who became a celebrity in the 1840s when he became a guide for John Charles Fremont. But those who want his name removed describe Carson as a war criminal, reports the Gazette. "They point to his brutal 1863-64 campaign against the Navajo, when, acting under orders from the Union government, he led a march of destruction through their territory. When they surrendered, some 8,000 were compelled take part in a 300-mile forced march to New Mexico, where they lived in captivity for several years, losing many of their numbers." One of the 104 petitionsigners describes him as a "shameful character of U.S. history." Others say that locals have always called it Crestone Mountain - although two other peaks in the neighborhood also bear the name Crestone. The U.S. Board of Geographic Names, which has jurisdiction over names of geographic feature on public lands, will review the proposal in the next few Utah. Pitkin County, home of Aspen, is named after him, as is a street in Frisco, a hamlet near Crested Butte and perhaps many other geographic features in Colorado. Where do you draw the line? Bark beetles play Scrooge this year DILLON, COLO. - Trees, trees, everywhere and not one for the parlor. Or, as is said nowadays, the great room. That's the story in Summit County, Colorado, where 79 percent of the land is administered by the U.S. Forest Service. But because of the bark beetle epidemic, most of the lodgepole pine trees have died or are dying. That has left a sea of snags, as standing dead trees are called, and the lodgepole pine are notoriously shallow rooted. Foresters expect them to fall within a few years. To ensure that none fall on people cutting trees for Christmas, the Forest Service has decided not to sell any permits this year. As well, the agency officials think they don't have enough young trees yet to offer to the public. Grinding dancing on outs in Jackson Hole JACKSON, Wyo. - A policy adopted at Jackson remain completely vertical at all times," the policy says. The policy also requires that music played for dances must be suitable for radio broadcast, meaning that profanity has been expurgated. Shop local campaigns wearing new clothes PARK CITY, Utah Shop-local campaigns, a staple of chambers of commerce for time immemorial, are wearing new clothes these days. In Telluride, Colo., the shop-local campaign is being pulled by the effort to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Agreeing with a local environmental group called the New Community Coalition, the Telluride Town Council recently agreed to review municipal purchases to encourage intown buying, when practical. In Telluride's case, much of the purchasing gets done at Montrose, 65 miles away, where Wal-Mart and other such big- and middle-box stores can be found. In Utah, The Park Record takes aim at on-line Christmas shopping. "What has Amazon done for you," asks the newspaper. The editorial points out that taxes on local purchases fund the free bus service in Park City and provide money for grants given to local nonprofits. "Turn off the computer and get outside," advises the newspaper. PARK CITY MUSEUM AND PONT Non-profits and private "Women's Night Out"parties are welcomed! Create your own holiday gifts!
