Note: I recently joined DPS' marketing and PR team in Salt Lake City. Last week I was sent on the brutal assignment of attending The Meeting in Aspen. It was my first trip to Colorado. The Meeting is Aspen's way of kicking off the ski season - it's a gathering of snowsports filmmakers, athletes, sponsors, media, and fans. - Erme Catino [caption id="attachment_1193" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="With a weekend stacked with parties, ski movies, and conferences I set off and ventured across Utah."][/caption] [caption id="attachment_1195" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Thursday evening everyone loaded up the gondola for a trip to the Aspen Sundeck and a night screening of Level 1's Sunny."][/caption] [caption id="attachment_1241" align="aligncenter" width="442" caption="One of the highlights of The Meeting was a full day of panel discussions.
