Aspen's Little Known Smuggler Mine

Aspen was first founded as a mining town and it's population in 1887 was 3x what it is today.  In 1894 the largest silver nugget in the world was uncovered in the Smuggler Mine. Weighing 2,054 pounds and 93% pure silver, the nugget had to be broken into three pieces in order to be maneuvered up the mine shaft. 

Local Pride and Proud Dad - Chris Klug Going to Vancouver!

Submitted by nancy on Mon, 2010-02-01 15:42

It's hard to miss this giant banner hanging in front of the Aspen Square Condominium Hotel! Warren Klug, father of Chris Klug, is the general manager of the Aspen Square and wanted to make sure everyone knew that son Chris made this year's Olympic Snowboard team.

While Chris is too young to be a Boomer, at 37, this is most likely his last Olympic bid. Chris is the first person to win an Olympic medal after surviving a liver transplant. We are all inspired by his passion for life and his sport.

Submitted by bfbadmin on Sat, 2007-02-24 19:58

One of the problems in getting useful access to travel information on the internet is that you typically need a desktop or notebook computer. However, when traveling, internet access is problematic because most airports chage a wireless access fee of from $7.95 to $9.95 per day. If you are planning an Aspen, Colorado vacation trip or in-transit to Aspen or actually in Aspen you now have a new and better option using your Blackberry or other wireless smartphone.
