The extreme sports side of the annual Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo., is one thing; but the people that make it out to support the event is a completely different affair. Young and old, advanced and newb — people from all walks of life consistently make the trek each year to turn up one of the best gatherings this side of the Rocky Mountains. And it happened again this year, with all the beautiful people coming out to show their support.
