Outside in Aspen
ASPEN—This weekend marks the inaugural Outside in Aspen kick off—a weekend-long outdoors binge of hiking, biking, and flyfishing put on by Outside Magazine and the Aspen Chamber Resort Association. We were supposed to go fishing, but with Ruedi reservoir on the brink of run-off madness, we’re holed up in the quaint digs of the super-swanky Little Nell hotel. (Just racked up a $50 breakfast tab. The boss ain’t going to be pleased.) If you’re in town, stop by and say hi. The event opens with a welcome party tonight at the Sky Hotel. More details after the jump.

Phaser Guns and Fish Farms
VANCOUVER—Canadian actor William Shatner has lent his iconic prowess to help urge Canadians in the fight for preserving British Columbia’s remaining wild salmon resources. The former Star Trek captain recently teamed up with Fin Donnelly, the federal New Democrat Fisheries and Oceans critic, who introduced a private member’s bill last month that would force fish farm operators to move from open nets along the B.C. coast to closed-containment systems.
“Peace or… UTTER DESTRUCTION… it’s up to you.”
