Spring storm, Telluride Telluride Inside.... and Out's Chief Geek, Kimm Viebrock, suggested we ignore the obvious risk of whiplash and review 2010, our second full year in business, for the "Best Of. " The Best Of? Yikes! Tell me please which one of your kids is your favorite. Aren't we suppose to love them all equally? Cop out? All right already, I am going to hold my nose and jump. But first a word about Telluride Inside... and Out, starting with a disclaimer.

TIO is not now and never was about hard news, local or otherwise. Our local print media handle that corner of the market just fine thank you. Telluride Inside... and Out was conceived as a lifestyle webzine to bring the true zazz (short for pizzazz) of the Telluride region to the local, regional, national, and global communities by covering everything from Telluride's robust cultural economy to outdoor adventure, astrology, fashion and beauty, food, books, dog training, even travel, because Telluride is a community of vagabonds. TIO is also about providing a platform for local businesses and non-profit institutions and festivals. We consistently tell their stories too.

 kicker: Great Room alive once again with the sound of music. Palmyra deck too.

For years, The Peaks was a showcase for Telluride, even regional talent, its Great Room a great place to listen to great music and socialize with friends. Then for awhile the music stopped. And the crowds that gathered in support and appreciation stopped coming. But they are returning now in droves to a vastly new and improved Peaks, with a management team eager to support the cultural life in Telluride and Mountain Village.

Case in point: Monday, December 20, the Telluride Choral Society performed a program of traditional carols and holiday songs for the family. The Choral Society was followed by Richard Tavener's Lodges Lane Live doing smooth jazz and Mike Pale on acoustic guitar playing popular favorites. New Year's Eve day, DJ Ryan spins on The Palmyra Deck, 2:30 – 6 p.m., where he has been appeared on and off in late December. New Year's Eve the Jeff Solon Trio entertains.

[click "Play" to hear Wade Davis' conversation with Susan]

 

100_2229 In Telluride, simply saying "Wade Davis" is like incanting "Open Sesame," the name unlocking doors of the mind. Mountainfilm in Telluride executive director Peter Kenworthy described Davis as a "Renaissance man," a defensive move, because the actual list of accolades and credits that adhere to the man could fill the Manhattan telephone book.

20091004-20091004-3919121-02 At Mountainfilm's annual fundraiser, Davis anchors a program that highlights five projects recently awarded $5,000 each. One of the projects is Sacred Headwaters, Sacred Journey, a photographic exposition by Paul Colangelo of the shared birthplace of three of British Columbia’s great salmon-bearing rivers, the Stikine, Skeena and Nass. The Stikine Valley, sacred to the First Nations, is one of the largest predator-prey ecosystems in North America. This area is now threatened by resource development. Colangelo's project is especially near and dear to Davis, a native of British Columbia and frequent visitor to the region that has been called “The Serengeti of the North.”
