Eat
Chef Shawn Lawrence - Local for 16 Years
Executive Chef 39 Degrees
- Dinner with some friends at Matsuhisa is always an experience. I highly recommend the Adam Roll or the Dragon Roll.
- The award-winning 39 Degrees hamburger here at The Sky Hotel is always a crowd pleaser. Top it off right with cheese, bacon, and a fried egg!
Drink
Denis Cote - Local for 9.5 years
39 Degrees GM and Mixologist
- A Sweet & Spicy right here at 39 Degrees Lounge. This local favorite gets the night started off with a kick!
- For another delicious libation, head over to Jimmy's American Steakhouse for a Dark N' Stormy.
Wellness
Carrie Behrends - Local for 3 years
39 Degrees Lounge Bartender
- Experience all the beauty Aspen has to offer with an overnight horseback riding trip with Snowmass Creek Outfitters.
- The ice may have melted but you can still enjoy some hockey on the indoor rink at Aspen Recreation Center and Aspen Ice Garden.
Retail Therapy
Margie Gribbell - Local for 2 years
Sales Manager
- Swing by Pitkin County Dry Goods on the Cooper Avenue walking mall for some contemporary clothing and modern style.
- Radio Boardshop is a great place to go for all your boarding needs. Whether it's bindings, boots, or boards, Radio has what you want.
Play
Shani Crider - local for 2 years
Cocktail Waitress
- After a night of partying don't go to bed on an empty stomach. Hit up New York Pizza. Pizza by the slice and open till 2.
- If a sports bar is what you're looking for, check out Zane's Tavern, the best Buffalo wings in town and an excellent happy hour from 4-6pm.
One of a Kind
Corey Enloe - Local for 6 years
General Manager
- I love going to Ute Mountaineer for all my hiking and climbing gear. Their motto says it all- "It's because we love what we do."
- Hiking up Highlands bowl to take in an amazing view. This double diamond is easily worth the 20-30 minute hike.
