Gordon: Community and a good breakfast
On any given Friday, an incredible group of people brave the elements, walk uphill, and gather at the Cliffhouse on Buttermilk for a half-priced breakfast.
This past Friday, we at EcoFlight were fortunate to be chosen to host the uphill. Such a beautiful morning, and everywhere you looked, you saw and sensed community. Everyone committed to health and friendship and an understanding about what a special and unique place we live in.
We would like to thank the Aspen Chamber Association, the Aspen Skiing Company, and everyone involved at the Buttermilk ski area.
I have found, along with the camaraderie of living in the mountains for such a long time, you develop a heightened sense of awareness. With this awareness comes a sense of responsibility.
It reminds me constantly of EcoFlight’s mission statement: to educate and advocate. As a community, we need to continue to educate ourselves – whether it be about the airport “modernization” or the Crystal River or anything happening in our community – and then be an advocate for what you believe in.
I encourage everyone to continue to go uphill, eat breakfast, bring your friends, and enjoy your community.
