I love how the Aspen Skiing Co. sometimes opens the mountains earlier than the published date. The move strikes me as a benevolent gesture — a vital bone thrown to the locals — one with meat and marrow we can all chew on until the real soap opera of ski season begins. Aspen’s ski season is indeed a real-life docudrama; the greatest show on snow. It’s the relentless grind of winter, filled with thrills and spills of victory, hoots and hollers, camaraderie and the agony of “da feet” (and knees). As of 9 a.m. today, Aspen is officially, once again, a classic American ski town. Let the games begin! The recent snow has assuaged the very real fear of a no-snow year — a nightmarish scenario that I internally fret about every fall. This is the second year of Aspen Mountain’s top-to-bottom snowmaking capabilities. That’s significant. The affectionately nicknamed “manmade ribbon of death” begs speed, and is grossly emblematic of early season skiing to me. In the shadow of the World Cup’s impending absence, is now the time to reboot the heralded “24 Hours of Aspen” ski race? While driving into town one eerie October evening I couldn’t help but notice the lights of the snowmaking system on Golden Horn and Thunderbowl making an illuminated, fluorescent signature in a dogleg left arc. The spectacle reminded me of the Starlink satellite network streaking across the sky; a token of man’s technological mark shining over the land. Over the years, I’ve witnessed an ideological, technical and money-driven change in the ski industry. From the conglomerate resort entities, to their season passes, to day-ticket technology, to the equipment, to the clothing, to on-mountain dining, to the teaching techniques, to the chairlifts, to snow-management procedures, to the way the mountains are being skied, to lodging and transportation, to the workforce — every sector and component of the snow business has metamorphosed. Yet for me, the liberating feeling of skiing itself has stayed much the same as when I was a kid. I always marvel at that familiarity and simplicity of the very first run of the year: skiing effortlessly off of the lift and settling into those first few turns. Just like riding a bike. In an odd little way, ski season completes me. Maybe that has something to do with being fortunate enough to have hustled in the ski industry for the past 30-plus years. I feel blessed to work in the snow business, surrounded by outgoing, adventurous people — the majority of whom I can identify with — who eat, sleep and breathe skiing. As a testament, I still like skiing. The business part hasn’t forever ruined the fun for me. Yet. And, I really dig turning people onto the sport, and seeing their faces and hearing the unadulterated excitement and sense of accomplishment in their voices after conquering Homestead Road on Buttermilk for the first time. A couple of weeks ago on a sleepy Monday I was startled by the image of a guy walking through town carrying a pair of skis. My head was somewhere far, far away. Last Sunday while watching the Broncos, I performed a “dress rehearsal” for ski season, a little trick my old ski pal Larry Mayer hipped me to while we were riding the gondola one time. You suit-up for skiing, put your boots on, lay your skis out on the carpet, click-in, get down into a tuck and hold it for as long as you can. Recover and repeat. The exercise worked like a charm. Something inside of me shifted — mentally and physically — to get psyched to ski again. I’m definitely not in the ski shape I used to be. I was nearly hyperventilating just from buttoning my pants, then bending over and buckling my boots. Afterwards I performed a rudimentary early season ski tune, courtesy of my handy Swix tuning kit by deburring and sharpening the edges to a 90-degree bevel. I’m always experimenting with obscure waxing techniques. I’ve tried everything from Armor All to olive oil to Lemon Pledge furniture wipes. This time I applied some spray-on carnauba Turtle Wax to the thirsty bases of my fat sticks. My skis feel smooth; they smell nice, too. Either tune your skis yourself, or support your local ski shop and have them tuned professionally. You’ll be happy with the big difference that little bit of effort makes. Last year, I learned the hard way that at this stage in my ski career, when you live in a ski town the likes of Aspen, it’s best to let the skiing come to you as opposed to chasing early turns at other resorts. I like the concept, but the execution was a different beast entirely. Driving three-plus hours to ski, and three hours or more back, is for people in their 20s with Ikon Passes and Subarus. I’d like to take this opportunity to profusely thank everyone in mountain operations for getting the slopes ready for us. I’m acutely aware of all the hard work that goes into mountain preparation: mowing and clearing the runs during summer, ceremoniously igniting burn piles with napalm (smells like ... ski season), snowmaking and grooming, getting the chairlifts and gondola ready. Thanks also to the patrolmen and patrolwomen who make the terrain safe and inevitably the injured bodies off of the hill. The more people that get out and ski, the overall healthier and happier our community is. Here’s to a fun, successful and rewarding ski season, everyone. See you up there!
ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) — Gaston Martirena and Adrian Martinez scored first-half goals as Argentina's Racing won its first Copa Sudamericana championship by beating Brazil's Cruzeiro 3-1 in the final on Saturday. Martirena opened the scoring in the 15th minute and Martinez added a goal five minutes later to give “La Academia” its first international title since 1988 when it won the Supercopa Sudamericana. “Maravilla” Martinez scored 10 goals in 13 matches and finished as the top scorer in the competition. Roger Martinez sealed the victory with a goal in the 90th. Kaio Jorge scored in the 52nd for Cruzeiro. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated PressKari Dziedzic, former Minnesota Senate majority leader, dies at 62

Under pressure Ange Postecoglou endured a torrid return to Scotland on Friday but watched his Tottenham team rescue a 1-1 draw with Rangers in the Europa League. In front of a hostile Ibrox home crowd, Rangers took the lead early in the second half from Hamza Igamane and the hosts look likely to pile more misery on Postecoglou’s side – with just one win now in eight games. The Aussie coach was furious at German international Timo Werner, hooking him at halftime and calling him out in the press conference post-match. “He wasn’t playing anywhere near the level he should,” Postecoglou said, when asked why he had withdrawn Werner at the break. “When you’ve got 18-year-olds, it’s not acceptable to me,” he said. “I said that to Timo. He’s a senior international, he’s a Germany international. In the moment we’re in right now, it’s not like we’ve got many options. I need everyone to at least be going out there trying to give the best of themselves. His performance in the first half wasn’t acceptable.” Dejan Kulusevski equalised on 75 minutes before Spurs were put under enormous pressure at the death, with Fraser Forster coming up with a huge save from Cyriel Dessers to preserve parity and Rangers having a goal chalked off for offside, also to Dessers.

Two teams going at it, not caring too much about defending at times. A wonderful game,” said former Rangers and Scotland striker Ally McCoist on TNT Sport’s coverage. Postecoglou, the former Celtic manager, has come under fire after a poor run of results has seen them fall to 11th in the Premier League table. Sections of the Tottenham fan base have voiced anger and levelled personal abuse at the Australian. A new era of the UEFA Champions League is here, only on Stan Sport. “I think Rangers played very well, we struggled a bit,” said Kulusevski “We didn’t play well enough to win the game. “I think Rangers played a perfect game, it’s a beautiful stadium, the fans helped them a lot. “I wanted to change something, to make something happen and I succeeded once but not enough today. “It’s always important to score but we’ve got to start winning games now. It’s time to win on Sunday. “Everybody needs to do a little more than we’re doing now.” Former Scotland forward James McFadden told the BBC that Spurs came into the game with the wrong mindset. “Tottenham were really poor in the first half. They did not have any energy. It looked like a lot of players thought they could turn up here and play however they wanted,” McFadden said. “However, Rangers showed them they are no pushovers. They controlled the game in the first half and should have been ahead. But they came out in the second half and got the reward for their performance. “There was a slight improvement from Spurs after the changes, but in the end they didn’t do enough. “A draw is a brilliant result for Rangers.” Tottenham travel to Premier League strugglers Southampton this weekend with all eyes on the embattled coach. Meanwhile, super sub Rasmus Hojlund’s brace has secured Manchester United a much-needed 2-1 comeback victory in the Europa League at Viktoria Plzen as Ruben Amorim registered his first away win as head coach. After making a promising start to life as Erik ten Hag’s successor, things were thrown off track by the shock exit of sporting director Dan Ashworth and back-to-back defeats to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. Amorim was staring down the barrel of a damaging third straight loss early in the second half when ex-Burnley striker Matej Vydra put Plzen ahead after boyhood United fan Pavel Sulc cut out Andre Onana’s poor pass. But Hojlund’s introduction off the bench helped spark a turnaround in freezing conditions, with the substitute soon converting after Amad Diallo’s effort was blocked. The visitors continued to knock on the door and two minutes from time the Denmark international met a smart Bruno Fernandes free-kick with strength, a decent touch and a thumping finish. United’s first European victory on the road since March 2023 sees them take a giant step towards the knockout stages as attention turns to Sunday’s trip to stumbling Manchester City. United captain Fernandes defended Onana after his intended pass to Matthijs de Ligt went astray. “We want to play from the back,” said Fernandes on TNT Sports. “We have to make the decision that is the right one. Andre thought that Matty could get to the ball, he missed the pass, they scored a goal, but that’s nothing that we have to focus about.

We don’t look at individuals here when something happens in the wrong side or the good side. “We have huge belief in Andre. He knows he made a mistake, we don’t need to tell him, and he’s going to help us many times coming out from the back. We trust his qualities on the ball.” In other action on Thursday, Athletic beat Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce 2-0, Roma defeated Braga 3-0 while Union posted a 2-1 win over Nice. There were 2-2 draws for Malmo and Galatasaray and Lugogrets and AZ Alkmaar, while Olympiacos and Twente both couldn’t get on the scoresheet in their clash. PAOK thrashed Ferencvaros 5-0, where there were five different scorers, while Anderlecht beat Slavia Prague 2-1 away. Ajax were beaten 3-1 at home by Lazio, Porto defeated Midtjylland 2-0 while Bodo Glimt beat Besiktas 2-1. Lyon edged Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2, while Real Sociedad thumped Dynamo Kyiv 3-0. In the Conference League, Enzo Maresca’s high-flying Chelsea qualified for the last 16 with a 3-1 win over Estana.
