The Local's Show: Lou Dawson "Avalanche Dreams"

As a child, Lou Dawson pored over his father's mountaineering books. So, after his troubled parents uprooted the family to live among Aspen's 1960's hippie counterculture, the obsessed teen seized the chance to explore the magnificent peaks literally right out his back door. When he discovered the addictive rush of powder snow and the mountain's dizzying heights, Dawson's lifelong affair with the all-consuming thrills of extreme sports began. While longing for a soulmate and the close-knit family he'd always desired, Dawson struggled to reach beyond the mountains' siren call- to find the true courage and forgiveness required of lasting relationships. In this conversation we get to know how the first alpinist to ski all of Colorado's Fourteeners found his true calling as a father crafting a solid foundation for his family.

"American Squatter": Barry Smith Live On Stage at the Wheeler Opera House

In "American Squatter", Aspen A/V tech Barry Smith uses his natural knack for performance art and multi-media presentation to bring us along, laughing and grimacing all the way, on his long, mundane trip through adolescence during the Reagan 80's. After losing his wife in a tragic accident, Smith's constantly cleaning father moved with his two small sons from rural Mississippi to suburban Southern California. Young Barry struggles to find himself in an obsessively neat household and cliquey public schools. Throw in some Punk Rock, a backyard skateboard ramp and a sheet of acid, what could go right?

Ski Bum Theater: So You'd Like to Ski

This week's Ski Bum hosts Heinrich and Major Indecision take us through the essential steps to learning about skiing. With clips from Dr. Frank Howard's 1950's classic ski films "So You'd Like to Ski" and "Skiing Toward the Olympics", plus Fred Iselin's "YooHoo I'm a Bird!", Stein Ericksen in "Ski With Buick" and the essential "Ski Movie" by Crested Butte's Matchstick Productions, this tour de force Ski Bum episode will get you amped to hit the slopes and twist at the night clubs. About the film maker: Dr. Frank Howard was born in San Francisco, California on July 12, 1910. In December, 1927 he took a trip to Norway and paid for it by working on the ocean liner M.S. Benjamin Franklin. His total pay was one kroner.Howard eventually docked in Oslo in 1928. It was there he learned to ski. While there, he also swam as a member of the Norwegian Swim team. Returning home in 1929, he brought a pair of skis back with him and joined the Auburn Ski Club. Graduating from dental school in 1935, he acquired a movie camera. It was at the ski clubs new grounds that he began taking ski films. The popularity of the films with club members led to the development of a lecture career. Howard was a national ski movie lecturer throughout the United States and Canada during the late thirties and early forties. Later he produced color and sound films which were rented out to ski clubs, etc. after World War II. Howard was a personal friend of and skied with Averal Harriman during the development of Sun Valley in the early 1940s. With Wayne Poulsen and Alex Cushing, he rode horseback on the first survey of the Squaw Valley lift and did the first publicity and motion pictures for Squaw Valley. Howard was the first motion picture ski movie producer in the west and joined John Jay and Becker Films to make the official movie of the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics. He arranged for Warren Miller’s first public show in Berkley, California and helped John Jay make arrangements for many of his first west coast shows. Howard also allowed copies of several of his ski films to be copied by the Western Ski Sport Museum at no cost and donated hundreds of historical prints and negatives to them. Footage in this show was donated to Heinrich during his days producing ski films at Mammoth Mountain, California.“Doc” Howard never did make any money from his films as was his intent. He was a dentist by profession and a filmmaker because he loved it and wanted to share the thrill of skiing with everyone.Dr. Frank Howard was elected to the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame in 1987.
