The air is very thin here. Went for a 30 min run. Flats and downhill is fine. Avoid hills.

I got the scoop on the Shining/Stanley/Timberline connection. The Stanley was the inspiration for the Steven King book. He sold the rights and the director Stanley Kubrick thought there wasn’t enough snow. The exterior shots were at Timberline. The rest at a set in England. There was a TV mini-series that was shot here. Strangely Stanley Kubrick has a Shambhala connection.

 The truth of the thing is not the think of it but the feel of it. – Stanley Kubrick

There is a Starbuck in the basement of the Stanley Hotel. You can buy “redrum” chocolate bars.
