The Aspen Historical Society kicks off the Winterskol weekend with Aspen History 101 and a screening of “Aspen Extreme.” The no-credit, fun college of the Rockies, also known as the Aspen State Teachers College, hosts a crash course in local lore, featuring actors, actresses, song, dance and even Lorenzo Semple. It will be followed by iconic 1993 film, “Aspen Extreme,” which tells the story of two ski bums from Detroit who ditch everything to live the ski instructor dream in Aspen.
