I rode up the gondola with a very nice cougar today who happened to own two houses in Telluride and was very friendly.  It got me thinking:  Should I set her up with one of my buddies?  Can she ski?  Does Telluride have the finest cougars in all the land? She was talking about tree skiing so she must not gape it too badly….We all know about the famous cougars of a little place called Aspen, so I figured we ought to compare and contrast celebrity cougars.  Was Mary Swanson from Dumb and Dumber a coug?  Maybe a tad young, I thought.  No way- she was born in 1963 I found out, definitely cougar status.  Aspen also has Heidi Klum who at 38, with a couple of rug-rats, is getting into the realm believe it or not .  They have Melanie Griffith and Goldie Hawn as well.  Hot damn, we have some stiff competition!

Telluride is a dark horse cougar-wise.  Its where the cougs go when they don’t have to be flashy to work it…they are a stealthy predator.  We have great cougars like Kelly Ripa and Tom Cruise’s ladies, Nicole Kidman (previously) and Katie Holmes (alright maybe not a coug).  We also have down to earth cougars like Emmy Award winner Susan Saint James who donates much of her time to Special Olympics and the Telluride Foundation.  I hear Laura Linney is really cool too; she’s got a house here and is a picture perfect cougar.  It is tough to compete with Aspen but we’re doin’ just fine down here.  So what do you think, who has the better cougars?  You be the judge…

    Having surveyed the land in both towns and on the mountains several times over the years, the correct answer is Telluride. While both Aspen and Telluride have some cougars who shred, when you look at the Hotness x GAPE status x Bitchy factor, it is no comparison.

    Hottness: Both areas have some tremendous ta-ta’s and sculpted bun’s
    = Tie
    Gape Status: Aspen has a few hotties who shred, however, Skier to Gaper
    ratio will have to be Telluride due to the sick lines that the
    ladies shred off 14. = Telluride
    Bitchy factor: A cougar is great to have around, however, if you want to use
    your crampons for something other than ice climbing, you may
    want to find another. While Telluride does have a little attitude, it
    is nothing to the unbearable elietest attitue found at Aspen.
    = Telluride

    So if you are wanting to find the perfect cougar who you can rip some fresh lines and not have to wait at the bottom, go rip Telluride for the best selection around.

    I’ll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Aspen.

    ‘Cougar’ implies that the still-hot sweetheart in-question wants you for some carnal fun…if only for a brief fling. I seriously doubt that’s the case with the typical actress/model types you’re bragging up. Maybe you should change Cougar to Well-Preserved Eye Candy or ‘Who’s got more hot middle-age actresses and models who’ll never give me the time of day – Te-hell-u-ride or Assburn.”
