Yesterday on our day off we hit a bunch of stores in Aspen. I was looking at helmets (mainly for sound options; note to self: get a bluetooth transmitter for wireless iPod to helmet connectivity), shoes, rolling duffel bags, pants, and boots. I got a pair of shoes that are better vented than my older hiking shoes and a large rolling duffel bag. The duffel I brought with me to Aspen had no wheels and so was a bit heavy to lug around the airport. The rolling bag is much more convenient. Corey and I looked at updating our ski pants but couldn't find anything that fit very well and that was reasonably priced. Aspen prices are pretty high, particularly at some of the high-end stores. I saw fantastic leather coats at one place that didn't even have prices listed. "If you have to ask..." I'm pretty sure they were about $2,000 or more. A bit much. After shopping we had a couple of beers and a pizza and then I snuck in one more purchase of a tall leather pouch for boarding passes. The airlines are so cheap now that they not only charge for luggage ($15), additional weight (over 50 lbs), and they have stopped providing those paper envelopes for boarding passes. So now I have a leather one that I'll use over and over. Right now I'm typing this up at the airport, where there's free wifi. Should be boarding in about half an hour.
