As a play on their name and the upcoming holiday, the after-work reception was dubbed AltsGiving and served as a gathering for the community to tour the newly renovated space at a fundraiser for Mountain Rescue Aspen.<\/p>\n<p>I first caught wind of this new business over the Food &amp; Wine Classic in June when CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg recorded his \u201cTravel Today\u201d podcast there. I\u2019d also seen the signage and construction, but didn\u2019t anticipate the impressive outcome until arriving at the party last Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Commanding the majority of the second floor of the 520 E. Cooper Ave. building, the bright and spacious environs feature private offices and conference rooms toward the back and sleek ski locker room facing the street.<\/p>\n<p>For the AltsGiving event, owner Wit Solberg greeted guests who enjoyed hors d\u2019oeuvres from Topper\u2019s Catering; drinks poured by one of Aspen\u2019s top bartenders, Alex Guevara; and bite-sized, boozy cupcakes from Aspen Cupcake. DJ Stanton provided the beats and Maggie Silvers captured mementos with her photo booth.<\/p>\n<p>A $5 donation was requested as admission, though most added more to the collection jar. Incentive was to support the worthy cause, as well as a chance to win from a tall stack of prizes, including restaurant gift cards, ski and snowboarding gear, a bountiful gift basket from Tall Fello Limoncello, a yearlong lease on a luxe ski locker and more.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers to this new business and the inclusive nature of starting an early Thanksgiving tradition!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/magazines\/aspen-times-weekly\/mountain-mayhem-altsgiving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alt Aspen founder\/owner Wit Solberg with Emily Kay and Mountain Rescue Aspen team member Greg Shaffran.May Selby Michael Mishel, Too Tall Chris Hall and Justin Addison.May Selby Chef Greg Topper and his sous-chef, Rex.May Selby Maggie Silvers running her new enterprise at the Altsgiving party, a green screen photo booth.May Selby Othello Clark fitting right [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2451435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-19 05:16:58","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2451435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2451435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2451435\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2451435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2451435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2451435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
