Image002 It's back to the future as Telluride Inside...and Out's Ashley Deppen of Two Skirts focuses on Fluxus.

Fluxus, the movement, emerged in New York in the 1960s, with the cultural revolution in full swing. Fluxus, which comes from the Latin for "flow," encompassed a melange of Dada, Bauhaus and Zen, dance, painting, music and more. The movement centered on the actions and opinions of the artist, not his or her output, and presumed all artistic disciplines and media could be combined to create something greater (read edgier) than the sum of its parts.

Fluxus presaged avant-garde developments of the past 40 years. Yoko Ono was its best known artist. Fluxus has endured since the 1960s not so much as a movement, rather as a sensibility that fuses radical social attitudes with evolving aesthetic practices.

1.  Increase Overall Aerobic Fitness
Both skiers and snowboarders benefit immensely from increasing overall aerobic activity to prepare for the season. Trail running and regular jogging, road and mountain biking, and cross training are favorites. Hiking up is a great activity, but hiking down is great for eccentric leg work, key for skiers and snowboarders.

_T9J9432 The first time Full Tilt came to Mountain Village, I went up to see my friend race on the downhill course. She is a pro downhill mountain biker, but I hadn’t ever watched a race, and even though I sat with her as she put on her padded suit of body armor I still was in disbelief as I hiked up the course. It looked impossible to ride, full of huge drops, severe turns and impenetrable trees and rocks. Could this be the actual course?

It was. This was probably ten years ago, and already mountain biking had progressed far beyond the old hard-tail bikes and slow, smooth rides I started on. Front shocks, rear shocks, beefy wheel hubs and a full-face helmet—and the body armor—pushed the sport to a whole new level. You could have fit a Subaru beneath some of the jumps my friend went off that day, and the wipeouts were so spectacular that I wished I’d brought a video camera. I was hooked.
