A journalist for 35 years, Mark Seal is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and the author of Wildflower: An Extraordinary Life and Mysterious Death in Africa, about the murdered wildlife filmmaker and naturalist Joan Root. He was a 2010 National Magazine Award finalist for his Vanity Fair profile of Clark Rockefeller, which he turned into the book The Man in the Rockefeller Suit: The Astonishing Rise and Spectacular Fall of a Serial Imposter. You can read all about his love for town in Aspen Inspired (page 248). Where do you hang your hat around town? My wife's wonderful antiques and gifts shop, Paris Underground. Any favorite ski spots? I love to ski Ajax (Aspen) Mountain, not only because of the skiing, but the skiers: You see everyone there. What do you enjoy most about the holidays in Aspen? The people who are here, and how the place becomes a Currier & Ives winter wonderland scene come to life.... A freelance writer based in Aspen, Linda Hayes has written about food, travel, and design for Luxe Interiors + Design, Mountain Living, Elle Decor, Food & Wine, Hemispheres, Sunset, and more. She penned our Taste section selects (page 120). Are there any benefits to covering Aspen's food beat? Spending time with passionate chefs, sommeliers, and restaurateurs (and eating and drinking with them, of course). My husband writes a wine column. It works out well. Are you a skier yourself? Which is your favorite mountain and why? I'm the ultimate fair-weather cruiser. You could look for me on Snowmass or Buttermilk (but you'd never recognize me). What's the best thing about Aspen during the holidays? Town all lit up with Christmas lights. Holiday parties. Champagne, Champagne, Champagne. How long have you lived in Aspen? My husband and I built an eco-friendly house in Old Snowmass a dozen years ago. We traded LA for Aspen. Enough said.
