The Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls, was killed, aged 24, in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Fairfax Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles in the early hours of March 9th, 1997. The Brooklyn-born rapper, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, had just left a music industry event at the Petersen Motor Museum at around 12:30 am with an entourage that included Sean Combs. He was a front seat passenger in a GMC Suburban travelling northbound on Fairfax and stopped a red light at the intersection with Wilshire Boulevard when multiple shots were fired at the car from a sedan that pulled up alongside. Wallace was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was declared dead shortly later. An autopsy revealed that he was struck by four bullets, one of which wounded him fatally, having struck his colon, liver, heart, and left lung after entering through his right hip. The police investigation into the murder remains unsolved.

Socialite Nancy Pfister was found dead, aged 57, at her home on West Buttermilk Road in Aspen, Colorado, on February 26th, 2014. She had been bludgeoned to death with a hammer and her body left covered in bedding in a bedroom closet with a plastic bag over her head and electrical cord wrapped around her neck. Police investigating the death charged Doctor William ‘Trey’ Styler, a former hospital anesthesiologist, and his wife Nancy Styler, with first-degree murder, along with Pfister’s friend, Kathy Carpenter, who worked as a teller at Alpine Bank in Aspen. The Stylers had rented Pfister’s home over the winter, but vacated the property in February following a dispute with her. During the three suspects’ detention pending trial, Dr Styler made a plea deal, confessing to being solely responsible for the killing, resulting in charges being dropped against Nancy Styler and Kathy Carpenter. Trey Styler died in August 2015 after committing suicide at the Arrowhead Correction Facility in Cañon City where he was serving a 20-year sentence for second degree murder. Nancy Pfister was the daughter of Art Pfister, a prominent figure in Aspen who made his fortune when his ranchland was used to create the Buttermilk Ski Area. She was well known in the Aspen community and socialized with celebrities in the Colorado town. She reportedly dated actor Jack Nicholson, and was briefly engaged to Michael Douglas.

The four ski mountains in Aspen are: Aspen Mountain Also known as Ajax, Aspen Mountain rises above the town of Aspen and is known for its steep glades, moguls and challenging terrain suited to intermediate and expert skiers. Snowmass Snowmass is the largest mountain of the four and although part of the same resort group, it is located in Snowmass Village, some 9 miles (or 14 kilometers) west of downtown Aspen. It has a variety of wide cruiser runs and is a good all-round mountain with something for everyone. Buttermilk Buttermilk has plenty of gentle beginner and family-friendly slopes, but there is enough challenging terrain to keep intermediate and expert skiers happy. Its wide open cruisers make it a popular choice for snowboarders. Aspen Highlands The more low-key mountain of the four, Aspen Highlands is considered the locals’ favorite. Its uncrowded slopes and views towards the Maroon Bells make it the mountain of choice for in-the-know skiers. Those prepared to hike to the top of Highland Peak are rewarded with drop-in access to the Highland Bowl, a basin of double-black-diamond terrain. A single lift ticket covers all four hills, and in winter, the free Four Mountain Connector daily bus service operates between Snowmass, Highlands, the Aspen Silver Queen Gondola and Buttermilk.

Pensacola Beach has white sand because it is mostly composed of grains of quartz crystals. The fine sugar-white sand at Pensacola is typical of many beaches along Florida’s Gulf. The quartz originated further north in the rocks of the Appalachian Mountains and over many thousands of years, little fragments broke away through erosion and were carried by rivers down to the Atlantic Ocean. Over time, the action of waves, ocean currents and abrasion against other rock granules have worn the fragments down, until only little grains of more erosion-resistant quartz crystals remain. These quartz crystals were carried by ocean currents down to the Gulf of Mexico and deposited along the shoreline, forming the white sandy beaches of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
