The Food & Wine Classic, takes place this weekend in the swellest mountain town in the USA, Aspen, Colorado. It's the Art Basel of American cuisine, a place where you can sample some of the country's finest wines, attend a "Future of Flavor" seasoning seminar by high cuisine juggernaut McCormick and steal away to the US Open viewing lounge to gripe to other dudes about how all you want to do is play some golf and get away from your wife and her drunk friends.
Beginning this Friday afternoon, there are some really quality events such as the Sam Adams beer pairing with food and a documentary about Spanish wine country held at the Aspen Opera House. (We're pretty sure Aspen is the only ski town with an opera house.)

After we heard about the ski doctor at the St. Regis Aspen, we started wondering what else might be shakin' in the St. Tropez of the Rockies. And leave it to the hotel to fill us in on all the alternatives to sussing down the slopes--there are plenty.
The staff would be happy to set you up with some snowshoeing or snowmobiling excursions, but the winter fly fishing snagged our attention. It really doesn't get much more extreme than angling while standing in rushing water cold enough to kill you if you fall in. Head out with the crew from Aspen Outfitting Company who have the gear and the expertise to make sure that doesn't happen.
Then again, if you're not keen on hooking fish while standing in freezing streams (you're not!?), check out the spa at the St. Regis. You can still get your active on Tuesday through Saturday with a $20 yoga class at 9 a.m.--early enough to be hitting the slopes the same day.
