Grand Opening of 7908

New restaurant and club 7908 opened to a crowd of well-heeled summertime Aspenites; owner Roger Wilson introduced his vision for the space—“where ski bums mingle with billionaires”—followed by words from Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club board co-President Karim Souki. Chef Craig Walker’s elevated hors d’oeuvres, like sliders branded with the restaurant’s logo, and beet cocktails gave guests a taste of what was to come on the dinner menu. Go-go dancers previewed the nightlife.
