ASPEN Magazine was founded in 1974, and is Aspen's original premiere magazine. In 1987, Janet O'Grady and Randy Beier saw that it had a loyal readership with tremendous business potential and bought the publication. The couple founded Ridge Publications and completely reinvented ASPEN Magazine, re-launching it as a locally based, luxury lifestyle magazine with a global reach. Beier died of cancer in 2001; O'Grady became President of Ridge Publications in 2002 and continues her role as Editor in Chief of the award-winning and growing ASPEN Magazine brand.

The leading authority on Aspen and The Good Life, ASPEN Magazine is an inspired representation of the matchless lifestyle for which Aspen is known and loved.
