\u201cWine party for friends grows annually by leaps and bounds,\u201d proclaimed The Aspen Times on March 8, 1979. \u201cAbout 11 years ago, a small group of a half dozen friends who skies Ajax regularly decided to have a wine party on Peanut Butter Ridge. It was a smashing success and they\u2019ve been having it every year since. But each year, the original sponsors have made more friends and those friends have invited their friends. Now there\u2019s no question that it is \u2018THE Wine Party.\u2019 This year\u2019s version was held Sunday without a cloud in the sky and silky powder underfoot. (A snowcat was loaded) the night before with 198 liters of red and white wine and four kegs of beer. Before noon another snowcat delivered a hot-air balloon to the site for atmosphere, and still another \u2014 at $50 an hour \u2014 brought the Romance Jazz Band, complete with a generator to power the microphones and electric piano. Volunteer ski patrolmen fenced off the party area from noon to 2, and kept incredulous skiers-by from choking off the trail (It was rumored that last year, more than 100 revelers had to be helped down the mountain).\u201d The image above shows the Romance Jazz Band playing at the party.<\/p>\n
