Snowmass history: Hungry for glory
“Deli Doo” ski race featured snacks at the gates and a pie in the face
“Another new Wintersköl event was the Deli Doo, a race between Garfunkel’s Delicatessen and the Snowmass Village Delicatessen,” the Aspen Illustrated News recapped in January 1968.
“The two teams ran four heads. Garfunkel’s won the first and last heats, Village Deli won second and third. The owner of the Delicatessen whose team lost won a pie in the face. Sid Wheeler and Jim Metcalf, owners, simultaneously (pied) each other’s face(s). The course consisted of five gates. At the first gate the racers ate a pickle, at the second a hot pastrami sandwich, at the third a cheese cake, at the fourth a half pint of sauerkraut and at the finish a piece of chocolate cream cake. The two owners raced in the last heat for a real photo finish.”
Snowmass Town Council hesitant of affordable housing project scale as talks of new developments begin
Some members of the Snowmass Village Town Council want to see a scaled down design of the Draw Site workforce housing development, especially as the town approved a $12.5 million purchase of property at the Snowmass Center, which the town will use to develop workforce housing.
