From a fitness standpoint, Aspen Life blogger Tom Pazdernik knows the dangers of this in-between time when the valley grows cooler but snow is nowhere to be seen. “Many of us live our lives in a truely cyclical nature,” he blogs. “Meaning that we do things based on what time of year it is. In some respects this is great because it gives us some variety and we don’t get sick of doing the same old things everyday. But, we also need to be careful as the weather starts to change here in the Valley. Soon it will be too cold to go up smuggler or ride to the bells in short sleeves. Yet, you won’t be able to hit the slopes or bust out the snowshoes, either.”
