Pack your gear and get your slut strands out ... the mountains are calling! Inspired by a recent nepo baby pilgrimage to Aspen, we discuss fashion's love affair with ski glam through the decades. Blinded by the reflection of sunlight on snow, and moonlight on "snow" *sniff sniff* ... We explore Aspen's transformation from countercultural ski bum sanctuary to billionaire resort town and discuss our personal compatibilities with Eileen Gu, Hunter S. Thompson, and Shaun White.
