Back on time
Skiing Jesus/Father Time at the Annabelle Inn, 232 W. Main St., Aspen; 970-925-3822,
Resurrected.
One of Aspen’s icons is back in place, with Olin Mark IV skis in hand. The bearded figure, variously known as Skiing Jesus, St. Nicholas, Father Time and St. Bernard, was removed from the Annabelle Inn’s clock tower in 2009 for restoration work. The revamped statue now can hold interchangeable props, including an umbrella, useful during Aspen’s recent wet spell.
