Former Vail resident Andrew Keel loves snowboarding, and when he moved back to Atlanta for school, he

couldn’t give it up. Despite Georgia’s lack of snow, Keel

figured out a way to mimic the sensa-tion of snowboarding on Atlanta’s flat-ter, less-than-white terrain with the in-vention of the motocrossboard, which

the Performance Concepts CEO will reveal to the public tonight at 7 p.m. at Paddy’s in Eagle-Vail.

Schleper gets best World Cup finish so far this season at night slalom

U.S. Ski Team veteran and Vail native Sarah Schleper finished eighth in yesterday’s World Cup night slalom in Zagreb, Croatia.

For Schleper, a four-time Olympian whose last World Cup podium came in 2005 when she won a slalom in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, it was the best race of the World Cup season thus far.

Austria’s Marlies Schild won the coveted Snow Queen Trophy by .75 seconds.

Amidst the fog and icy conditions, 66 women charged out of the start for the first run of the leg-endary Zagreb night slalom. With big prize money on the line, the women went all out with hopes of clinching the victory, including Schleper who sat in fifth after the first run.

This race marked Schild’s fourth slalom victory of the season and third-in-a-row win. Yesterday’s race was also the third time she has been crowned Snow Queen in Zagreb.

Tuesday’s result puts Schleper back inside the sla-lom World Cup top 30 as well as a generous prize purse of $3,990 in her pocket. Schild earned $55,873

Lost: One diamond ringFound: An honest man and a caring community

Last February, part-time Eagle County residents Roger Ward and his wife, Janis Wackenhut Ward, lost an extremely valuable diamond ring … then found a caring com-munity and an incredibly honest stranger.

The payback is taking place this week in Vail, with happy endings all around.

LostThe story started on a hectic day

last February when the Wards, part-time Cordillera residents (a second home community west of Vail), headed to the Eagle County Airport to catch a flight back to their Mi-ami home. In the car, Janis slipped off her diamond ring and dropped it into her lap in order to apply hand lotion.

The ring is unique. Roger, a re-tired businessman, had purchased the approximate 12 karat yellow diamond at an estate sale, then commissioned a jeweler to design a special ring commemorating the couple’s 30th wedding anniversary.

“It was something that she cher-ished,” he notes.

Unfortunately, in the bustle of catching a plane, Janis forgot about the ring in her lap and exited the car at the airport. The ring dropped to the pavement in the baggage-un-loading lane.

The Wards boarded their flight, unaware that the ring was missing until they reached their home in Mi-ami late that evening.

Janis immediately realized what had likely happened to the jewelry. The distraught couple contacted American Airlines, who in turn placed a call to airport administra-tion.

The following morning in the midst of a heavy snowstorm the county’s curbside staff, along with

American Airline employees began searching. They walked the ramps, scoured the parking lot and baggage area and dug through plowed snow, looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack.

They could not find the missing ring.

FoundUnknown to the Wards and the

airport staff, the ring had been found shortly after it was lost.

Mark Epple of Minneapolis and his wife, Karen, were headed back home after a skiing vacation at Bea-ver Creek with friends. Hustling to catch their flight at the Eagle Coun-ty Airport, Epple happened to look down at the curb as he unloaded suitcases. Something shiny caught his eye. He picked up what proved to be a sizable ring.

Initially, he assumed it was a piece of costume jewelry. In a hurry to depart, he dropped the ring into

his pocket, figuring he would deal with it when he got back home.

Once home, he took a closer look at the slightly dented jewelry, which appeared to have been run over by a car. Noting the weight and the shine of the jewelry, he locked in the fam-ily safe, then e-mailed the airport’s lost and found department and left a message indicating he may have found something of value.

Airport employees immediately put Ward in touch with Epple. Ward described the missing ring, and then sent Epple a photograph of the jew-elry to confirm his story. A Brinks courier delivered the ring back to Miami, where the original jeweler made some structural repairs. All of the diamonds were intact.

Epple refused Ward’s offer of a reward, saying he knew it was right to return to the Wards what was rightfully theirs. He viewed the in-cident as a lesson for his three kids.

Vail saw $20k more revenue than expected in NovemberTown on track to meet 2010 budget

This Thanksgiving, the town of Vail got an extra helping.

According to a memorandum dis-tributed to the town council by Vail’s Sales Tax Administrator Sally Lor-ton, the town brought in just more than $660,000 in sales tax in No-

vember, almost $21,000 more than expected. The extra revenue puts Vail 3.47 percent above their bud-get for 2010 so far. According to the memorandum, Vail has been over budget most months of 2010, but fell short in January, April, May and

October. As of the first of Decem-ber, the town collected more than $14.6 million dollars in sales tax – almost half a million more than bud-geted for. To meet the budget, Vail will have to bring in just less than $2 million in sales tax in December. In 2009, December sales tax revenue was more than $2.5 million.

Gypsum land ready for retail center

The plans are already laid out for a new commercial development near the airport in Gypsum. The so-called “Lehmann parcels,” which take up about 75 acres between the runway and Highway 6, are “shovel ready”

for a collection of big-box retail stores, said Ron Byrne, the broker managing the sale of the land.

Byrne’s company is asking $12.7 million for the land, a recession-era price he said is far below to $18-20 million the owner estimated the val-ue of the land to be.

“The drop in price is indicative

of what’s going on in the rest of the world right now,” he said.

The owners have received ap-proval from the town of Gypsum to develop 470,000 square feet of retail on the land, Byrne said. That approval is good only until 2015.

Lana Gallegos, a senior plan-ner with the town of Gypsum, confirmed the site is generally ap-proved for commercial retail use, though she said some more work would have to be done to address details of any design.

“The bulk of the approvals are done,” she said.

ENTERTAINMENT

Now playing in the Vail Valley

Everyone’s favorite pic-a-nic basket-stealing bear comes to the big screen in “Yogi Bear,” a new ad-venture, filmed in 3D, that combines live action with computer animation. Dan Aykroyd stars as the voice of Yogi, Jellystone Park’s notorious trouble-maker, and Justin Timberlake as the voice of Boo Boo, Yogi’s faithful pal and co-conspirator in his never-ending schemes to separate park visitors from their lunches. Faced with his biggest challenge ever, Yogi must prove he really is “smarter than the average bear,” as he and Boo Boo join forces with Ranger Smith to find a way to save the park from closing forever.

“Tron: Legacy” is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceed-ingly dangerous.

With an all-star cast, “Little

Fockers’ is set around Greg and Pam, from Meet the Parents and Meet the Fock-

ers, raising their mischievous son who makes their

lives a wreck.

Johnny Depp stars as an American tourist whose playful dalliance with a stranger leads to a web of intrigue, romance and danger in “The Tourist.”

overhaul the nation’s tax code.Obama, speaking with reporters aboard Air Force

One as he flew home from a year-end vacation in Ha-waii, predicted Republicans would “play to their (po-litical) base” initially.

He added, “But I’m pretty confident that they’re go-ing to recognize that our job is to govern and make sure that we are delivering jobs for the American people.”

Moderate leader assassinated

The governor of Pakistan’s most dominant province was shot and killed yesterday by a bodyguard who au-thorities said was angry about his opposition to blas-phemy laws carrying the death sentence for insulting the Muslim faith.

Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer, regarded as a moderate voice in a country in-creasingly beset by zealotry, was a close ally of U.S.-backed President Asif Ali Zardari. He is the highest-profile Paki-stani political figure to be assassinated since former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto three years ago, and his death underscores the growing danger in this country to those who dare challenge the demands of Islamist extremists.

Taseer was riddled by gunshots while walking to his car after an afternoon meal at Kohsar Market, a shop-ping center in Islamabad popular with Westerners and wealthy Pakistanis. He was shot in the back, said Shau-kat Kayani, a doctor at Poly Clinic Hospital.

People’s Party supporters wept and beat their heads at the hospital where Taseer’s body was taken. Outside his residence in the eastern city of Lahore, hundreds of supporters chanted slogans on his behalf, while in the central city of Multan dozens burned tires and de-manded the attackers be punished.

How-to manual for extremists

In the weeks before the New Year’s Day suicide bombing of an Egyptian church, al-Qaida-linked web-sites carried a how-to manual on “destroying the cross,” complete with videos on how to build a bomb and the locations of churches to target - including the one that was attacked.

They may have found a receptive audience in Alex-andria, where increasingly radicalized Islamic hard-liners have been holding weekly anti-Christian dem-onstrations, filled with venomous slogans against the minority community.

The blast, which struck Saturday as worshippers were leaving midnight Mass at the Mediterranean city’s Saints Church, killed 21 people. President Hosni

Mubarak has accused foreign groups of being behind the attack, which has sparked a wave of angry protests by Christians in Egypt.

Change coming to White House staff

Retooling for a re-election run, President Barack Obama is shaking up his senior leadership team to deal with the new realities of his term: The era of big legis-lation is over, a massive campaign effort needs energy and people, and the White House is taking a toll on those who run it.

Obama’s press secretary, Robert Gibbs, is likely to leave that job, and his interim chief of staff, Pete Rouse, may go, too. In the coming days and weeks, Obama is also expected to have a new chief economic adviser, a new senior political counselor, and two new deputy chiefs of staff.

Collectively, the moves reflect that change is coming to the White House in ways that will alter the dynamic of the place - and, in turn, will influence the agenda affecting the nation. The vice president’s office is in for its own new leadership, with its chief of staff, Ron Klain, leaving to run an investment company.

“The White House goal is to become more efficient and less insular, to realign itself for divided govern-ment, to find fresh voices and to get Obama re-elected,” reports Ben Feller of the Associated Press.

New knee for FeinsteinSen. Dianne Feinstein of California says she’ll un-

dergo a knee-replacement operation today in San Fran-cisco.

Feinstein, 77, says she won’t be able to travel for about three weeks follow-ing the surgery. She plans to work from home during that time and to keep close tabs on issues of importance to constitu-ents.

The senator says she’s needed the operation for a while. The operation is routinely undertaken to relieve pain and restore function. In recent months, she

could occasionally be seen walking gingerly, particu-larly when it involved stairways around the Capitol and her Senate offices.

No regrets for NancyDemocrat Nancy Pelosi said she had no regrets on her

last day as House speaker yesterday, a reign that lasted four years and is ending after the November elections.

President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, saying it would add to the federal budget deficit.

With unemployment stuck above 9 percent, Pelosi was asked whether she regretted not doing more to improve the nation’s still-struggling economy while she was speaker.

“We have no regrets,” Pelosi respond-ed. “This administration and this Con-gress inherited a near-depression. And so the initiatives that we took were posi-tive for the American people. It’s not enough to save people from a depres-sion, though. Nine-and-a-half percent

unemployment is intolerable and as long as we have that we have to continue to fight for job creation.”

Car and truck sales up 11 percent

Auto sales rose in the United States last year for the first time since the recession. They’re still far from what they were just a few years ago - but that’s just fine with the downsized auto industry, which can post prof-its even if they sell millions fewer cars and trucks.

For the year, car and truck sales came in at 11.6 mil-lion, up 11 percent from last year, automakers reported Tuesday. For December alone, sales were 1.14 million, also up 11 percent from a year earlier.

oyota was the only company that sold fewer cars and trucks than in 2009. The company was stung by sud-den-acceleration recalls in early 2010 and never fully recovered despite luring buyers with generous incen-tives.

‘Whatever your truth is, you have to stick with it’A Texas man declared innocent yesterday after 30

years in prison had at least two chances to make pa-role and be set free – if only he would admit he was a sex offender. But Cornelius Dupree Jr. refused to do so, doggedly maintaining his innocence in a 1979 rape and robbery, in the process serving more time for a crime he didn’t commit than any other Texas inmate exonerated by DNA evidence.

“Whatever your truth is, you have to stick with it,” Dupree, 51, said yester-day, minutes after a Dallas judge over-turned his conviction.

Dupree was sentenced to 75 years in prison in 1980 for the rape and robbery of a 26-year-old Dallas woman a year earlier. He was released in July on mandatory supervi-sion, and lived under house arrest until October. About a week after his release, DNA test results came back proving his innocence in the sexual assault.

His exoneration hearing was delayed until Tuesday while authorities retested the DNA and made sure it

was a match to the victim. Looking fit and trim in a dark suit, Dupree stood

through most of the short hearing, until state district Judge Don Adams told him he was free to go.

“It’s a joy to be free again,” Dupree said.

Son of late shah of Iran found dead

The youngest son of the late shah of Iran was found dead yesterday of an apparent suicide at his home in Boston, after he had “struggled for years to overcome his sorrow,” his brother said.

“Once again, we are joined with moth-ers, father and relatives of so many vic-tims of these dark times for our coun-try,” the shah’s oldest son, Reza Pahlavi, wrote on his website in announcing the death of his brother, Alireza Pahlavi.

Pahlavi, 44, died from a single gun-shot wound that was apparently self-in-flicted, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk District Attorney’s office.

Fardia Pars, who is close to Reza Pahlavi, said by phone from Paris that Alireza Pahlavi went into a deep depression following his the death of his sister Leila in 2001, who was found in a London hotel room at age 31 after overdosing on barbiturates.

Alireza Pahlavi never recovered, Pars said.

Be careful where you toss your technology

Get a new flat-screen TV for Christmas and wonder-ing what to do with the old console? Finally replacing that turntable with an MP3 player? Just upgrading your Mac? Whatever it is, you’d better check your state’s books before heading to the landfill.

As the new year begins, the state of Vermont is join-ing New York, Pennsylvania and South Carolina in in-stituting laws banning electronic waste from landfills, bringing to 24 the number of states with similar mea-sures, according to the Electronics TakeBack Coalition, a San Francisco-based group that monitors the fate of “e-waste.”

In the 26 states without recycling laws, consumers are left to safely dispose of old equipment on their own, generally by paying a few dollars per item at a com-puter store or by going to big-box retailers that sponsor programs to take old items. Most states ask electronics makers to pay for recycling programs — both to make sure they are run properly and to remove the tempta-tion for consumers to avoid added costs by dumping illegally.

left, which she’ll spend spreading a stark warning: Judgment Day is almost here.

Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely or-ganized by radio broadcasts and websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin May 21, 2011.

To get the word out, they’re using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street corners. Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have bill-boards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling through Latin America and Africa to spread the news outside the U.S.

“A lot of people might think, ‘The end’s coming, let’s go party,’” said Exley, a veteran of two deployments in Iraq. “But we’re commanded by God to warn people. I wish I could just be like everybody else, but it’s so much better to know that when the end comes, you’ll be safe.”

‘Stuck in the Middle with You’ singer dead at 63

Gerry Rafferty’s agent says the Scottish singer be-hind hit songs “Baker Street” and “Stuck in the Middle With You” has died. He was 63.

Paul Charles confirmed Tuesday that his client, whose 1978 hit record “Baker Street” reached No. 3 in the U.K. and No. 2 in the U.S. music charts, had passed

away following a long illness.Rafferty wrote hit single “Stuck in the Middle With

You” in 1972, while performing as part of the Scottish folk-rock band Stealers Wheel. The ode — or mocking tribute_ to Bob Dylan’s raspy voice grew new wings in film maker Quentin Tarantino’s movie “Reservoir Dogs,” and has sold more than a million copies world-wide.

He made headlines in recent years for his public struggles with alcoholism and had reportedly suffered liver failure.

Charitable donation from Jolie-Pitt

Hollywood’s “most beautiful and altruistic couple,” Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, are donating $2 million to an African wildlife sanctuary where they spent Christ-mas with their six children, CBS News is reporting.

The donation was made to the Naankuse Lodge and Wildlife Sanctuary in Namibia, where their daughter Shiloh was born. The donation to the sanctuary was made in Shiloh’s name by the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

In a statement released Monday, Jolie said, “We want her to be very involved and grow up with the under-standing of her country of birth.”

Jolie gave birth to Shiloh in 2006 in Swakopmund, Namibia.

Broncos kick off coaching search with Mike Mularkey

The Denver Broncos will kick off their search for a new coach by interviewing Atlanta Falcons offen-sive coordinator Mike Mularkey.

John Elway will be introduced as the Broncos’ new chief football executive this week, and he’ll in-terview Mularkey in Atlanta on Friday and then return to Denver to speak with inter-im Broncos coach Eric Studesville about the job on Monday.

The Falcons are off this week after earning a first-round bye in the playoffs.

Mularkey was head coach in Buffalo from 2004-05, when he went 14-18, and has run the Falcons offense since 2008. Mularkey, who spent nine seasons in the NFL as a tight end in Minnesota and Pitts-burgh, has also been an offensive coordinator for the Steelers and Mi-ami Dolphins.

Studesville was promoted from running backs coach when Josh Mc-Daniels was fired a month ago and went 1-3 as interim coach. Bron-cos chief operating officer Joe Ellis praised his performance under try-ing circumstances, saying Studes-ville “lived up to our expectations. He did a fine job.”

Studesville was moving out of his head coaching office yesterday —

but only because Elway is moving in today. In an interview with The Associated Press in that office, he said he’ll return to his old, smaller digs down the hall at the team’s Dove Valley headquarters “until we figure out how everything plays out.”

Although he had a four-week au-dition for the full-time gig, Studes-ville isn’t exactly an open book.

“The thing I have to do going into the interview is demonstrate to them what my plan is going forward. I was thrust into this and it was more reactionary, just trying to get done what we needed to get done to pre-pare our team for football games. But this plan is more what I see go-ing forward,” Studesville said.

“When I first did this, I said I wanted to make some small chang-es that paid off in bigger ways. But now this is an opportunity to po-tentially change things if I wanted to change something,” Studesville said. “And so I think that’s what I want to present to them now and what my vision is of changing some things that haven’t gone well.”

For one, that might mean a switch back to the zone blocking scheme and away from the power running game implemented under McDan-iels. But Studesville didn’t want to elaborate on what he’ll tell Elway in his formal interview next week.

Studesville spent yesterday por-ing over player evaluations and said he planned to meet with his coach-

ing staff today.The Broncos aren’t in a big hur-

ry to name a new head coach like they were two years ago when Mike Shanahan was fired and McDaniels was plucked from Bill Belichick’s staff in New England and given two jobs at age 32 that he’d never had before: NFL head coach and de facto general manager.

Under Elway’s leadership, Brian Xanders will become an empow-ered GM with more say on person-nel matters than he had with Mc-Daniels, who was jettisoned in the midst of the team’s worst slide in four decades and the embarrassing Spygate II videotape scandal.

Mularkey also will interview with the Cleveland Browns, who fired Eric Mangini on Monday.

The Carolina Panthers also are expected to request permission to speak with Mularkey, who, along with quarterbacks coach Bill Mus-grave, has been credited for the quick development of quarterback Matt Ryan and the Falcons’ resur-gent offense.

The Broncos started rookie Tim Tebow at quarterback for their final three games, and the Browns have rookie Colt McCoy under center. The Panthers own the top draft pick in April and may select Stanford’s super third-year sophomore An-drew Luck if he declares for the NFL draft.

ATHLETIC STUFFGiants’ defensive

end to have surgery in Vail

New York Giants’ defensive end Osi Umenyiora was aware he would need surgery back in the spring, but that didn’t stop him from having an excellent sea-son with a league-record nine forced fumbles and 11.5 sacks. The surgery will be performed here in Vail by world re-nowned hip surgeon and the go-to doctor of many professional athletes, Dr. Marc Philippon.

Umenyiora confirmed that on in a radio interview Monday evening that surgery will take place at the Steadman Clinic. Umenyiora was examined in the spring by Philippon, who recommended surgery on his hip flexor back in July.

But Umenyiora went against the doc-tor’s recommendation a chose to try to play through the pain. Even after his standout year, Umenyiora still apolo-gized to fans when a Packers’ win Sun-day kept the Giants out of the playoffs.

“Looking at the teams that are in, we could have beaten any one of those teams,” Umenyiora said. “This is very difficult, but that’s the way it happens sometimes. We just have to apologize to all of the fans for the end of the season, the last two games before this one.”

Umenyiora is expected to need ap-proximately 2-3 months to recover fully from the surgery, meaning he could be ready to resume football activities some-time in March or April.

Dr. Philippon has performed hip sur-geries on many top athletes including Alex Rodriguez, Greg Norman, Mario

Lemieux, Taro Lipinski, former Nugget Marcus Camby and Priest Holmes.

Jones expected to pick Cowboys’

coach soonJason Garrett may soon know wheth-

er his half-season audition was good enough to make him coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

Team owner Jerry Jones said on his radio show yesterday morning that he could have a decision as soon as the afternoon. He added that “we probably won’t be ready to talk about this until to-morrow some time.”

Jones was expected to be headed to New Orleans last night to watch his alma mater, Arkansas, play in the Sugar Bowl.

Garrett went 5-3 over the second half of the season with a club that had gone 1-7, all while using backup quarterback Jon Kitna, then third-stringer Stephen McGee. All the losses in his tenure were by a field goal or less. Many players have said they hoped Garrett would be back because they appreciated the struc-ture and discipline he brought.

“There is no joy in Mudville here re-garding the success we had,” Jones said. “But it’s better than what it could have been. That does give a real positive thing to evaluate regarding Jason.”

Jones nearly hired Garrett the last time the job was open, but made him offen-sive coordinator under Wade Phillips. Garrett also earned the title of assistant head coach.


for the win, with Germany’s Maria Ri-esch in second with $27,937 and Manuela Moelgg of Italy in third with $13,962.

“Sarah had an incredible first run. She went like crazy and full on attacked that hill. It was very difficult conditions,” said Head Coach Alex Hoedlmoser of Schleper’s blistering first run. “The fog was moving in and out, so it was very challenging and she had a fantastic first run. That was really good skiing.”

The plan for run two was the same for Schelper, the lone American to qualify for the second run, pedal to the metal. With visibility difficult, she laid down a solid second run to cross the line eighth.

“I didn’t feel that good coming down [in the second run]. My skis were sliding a little bit,” Schleper said. “I was actu-ally very surprised to see where I ended up. Maybe if I can clean up a couple of turns, I can be right there with the best girls.”

On the second run, Schleper’s plan was to “really attack” and try to get on the podium, Hoedlmoser said.

“But it seemed like in the back of her head there were some thoughts of just finishing the course,” he said. “It wasn’t as perfect as the first run but still a very good job in the second run. Eighth is a very good result for her, it is something she can build on. I’m really looking for-

ward to the next slalom because she is going to be flying.”

Unfortunately, falling prisoner to the notorious icy hill, were Schleper’s teammates Olympic gold medalists Ju-lia Mancuso and Vail resident Lindsey Vonn.

“Lindsey wasn’t 100 percent and not on top of her game and on this course you need to be 100 percent to actually perform,” Hoedlmoser said. “With Julia, she had a really good warm up. We were confident in her skiing and just hit a re-ally slick spot in bad body position and that was it.”

Resi Stiegler of Jackson Hole has been making a successful World Cup come-back tour and was skiing solid in the first run before having to hike. She finished outside of the top 30, along with team-mate Hailey Duke.

“Resi was doing a really good job. She was skiing really well until she made that big mistake,” said Hoedlmoser. “I’m happy with the speed that she has again and it’s unfortunate that she made that mistake, but otherwise she would have been right in there.”

The women’s World Cup tour will head to Zachensee, Austria Jan. 6-9 for a downhill and super G, followed by an-other night slalom in Flachau, Austria Jan. 11.

His 11-year-old son, Jacob, had re-cently been the victim of a bike theft at school, and knew what it felt like to lose a valued possession.

“You try to teach them the right thing. If you return something that belongs to somebody else, you shouldn’t expect to have rewards,” Epple says. He is a bit embarrassed by the attention the incident has generated.

“I think most people would have done the same thing,” he said.

The rewardWard and his wife were over-

whelmed by Epple’s honesty.“I travel all over the world. This

is extraordinary. It never happens,” said Ward.

In their phone conversations back and forth, Ward learned that Epple, an architect, had recently been laid off of work. The ring, Ward noted, likely has a value equivalent to a couple of years of salary for an ar-chitect.

Their phone conversations (they have not yet met in person) also revealed Epple’s passion for Colo-rado skiing. Ward offered the use of his Cordillera home for an Epple family ski vacation.

In October, a hesitant Epple con-tacted Ward and asked if the va-cation house offer still held. Of course, it did.

“He and his family are most wel-come. I’m sure he will take care of the house much as he did with the

ring,” said Ward, who arranged for the home to be fully stocked for the visit. The Epple family (Mark, Karen, Jacob, Zoe and Soren) and a couple of family friends arrived for their ski vacation on Dec. 26. They are hitting the slopes at Vail and Beaver Creek and staying in the Ward’s home.

Ward says that in addition to re-covering the ring, he and his wife gained greater appreciation of the community that is their part-time home.

“I wouldn’t have found the re-sponse I got at Eagle County Air-port anywhere else in the world,” Ward said. “This just shows that we are a community with values.”

that performs like a snowboard on grass, pavement, dirt and light trail, and is pro-pelled by a handheld throttle.

“I don’t know if there is anything like it,” Keel said. “It is the first of it’s kind. I guess it’s the sum of my life’s experi-ences.”

Snowboarding without snowThe idea spawned in a lot of places,

said Keel. When he was in college, Keel decided to take a semester off and move to Vail for a sample of the mountain life-style. One semester quickly turned into five years as he found a love for snow-boarding and a job as a service manager at the former Vail Bike Services.

Deciding that he needed to finish his degree, Keel went back to school at the University of West Georgia, but the feel-ing of snowboarding never left him as he began to dream up ideas on how mimic snowboarding without snow.

After college, Keel took a job as an engineering recruiter and began racing motocross. He has also lived in Califor-nia where he learned to surf, but again the idea of snowboarding never left, so started to piece together designs for the motocrossboard in ’96.

“I’ve always tinkered with things – taking things apart and putting them back together,” Keel said while fishing a socket wrench out from his pocket to prove the point. “Really it was my desire to be able to snowboard not in the moun-tains and not in the winter that brought it all together.”

Years later, the first motocrossboard was born. After many prototypes and test runs Keel arrived with his final products, the electric MXB (motocross-board) Shocker, and the gas-powered MXB Moto-GT.

The only difference in the two boards is the motors – one is electric and can run up to 35 mph and the other is gas and cruises at 20 mph – and both boards will be on display tonight at Paddy’s.

“The motocrossboard will be to moto-cross what snowboarding is to skiing,” Keel said, meaning that the motocross-board will eventually gain popularity among the motocross community much like snowboarding did among the ski community years ago.

Board sports breed board sportsKeel also believes the boards will be

a hit in the motocross community for their convenience. A motocross bike can weigh up to 250 pounds, give or take, while the motocrossboards weigh around 75 pounds and fit four on the top of an automobile roof.

In addition, Keel mentioned that “board sports breed board sports,” meaning that while snowboarding took off from skateboarding, which took off from surf-ing, the motocrossboard will likely gain popularity among snowboarders because

the feel of the motocross board can be equated to what it feels like to snow-board in six to eight inches of powder.

“It doesn’t grip and carve like a snow-board would on hard surfaces,” Keel said. “But with the suspension, it floats and gives you the feeling of riding trough that amount of snow where your edge won’t bite and your gliding.”

The board’s suspension gives five inches of travel in the standard model but can be modified to offer up to nine inches. Overall, the motocrossboard is framed with sturdy, airplane-grade 4130 chromoly tubing.

The steering on the motocrossboard also hinges to mimic what it feels like to turn on a snowboard, which Keel says he learned during his days riding in the mountains.

“A motocross company wouldn’t be able to figure out how to make this steer the way it does,” Keel said. “I wouldn’t either if I hadn’t had 500-plus days of riding at Vail.”

Rubberneckers, ModernMarvels and Paddy’s

Yesterday morning, Keel gave the Mountaineer a preview of the boards in the Paddy’s parking lot, and him zipping around next to the highway drew atten-tion from a few drivers that pulled off the highway to verify what they had seen.

“I’ve always been a bike enthusiast, and I was driving by like ‘what the hell is that?’” said John Goike, a passing by motorist. “It’s super cool and his suspen-sion design is really impressive. It’s sim-ple and would work great for downhill and that is super important.”

Keel said during the test phase, reac-tions like Goike’s were typical.

“People have never seen anything like it,” Keel said. “And the response it has gotten is amazing.”

While onlookers have been quick to give a good response, Keel says the board has also got some big attention from the technologocial community.

“I was sending out releases before the Christmas holiday and I got a call from Modern Marvels,” Keel said. “They want to run the motocrossboard in an episode with the top 10 modern inven-tions for transportation.”

Modern Marvels is a national docu-mentary television series airing on the History Channel that follows technolog-ical breakthroughs throughout history.

With the positive feedback, media at-tention and appeal to moto and board audiences, Keel says he is confident the product is good and will grow with suc-cess.

Keel added that it is a pleasure to re-lease his boards at Paddy’s, seeing that the Vail Valley played a major part in in-spiring the invention.

Stop by at 7 p.m. to be a part of the launch.
