Aspen is getting hot of this season on Secrets of Aspen. First and foremost, it would be best to break down the cast (of which we know of) so far. Here they are in no particular order:
By day Kat massages pampered Aspenites; by night she mingles with them in Aspen’s lively social scene. She also loves exploring her adventurous outdoorsy side on Aspen’s mountain trails. Kat got her first taste of the high life in LA, as a flight attendant on private jets — where she gave spa treatments at 30,000 feet. A winter visit to Aspen two years ago with her then boyfriend Alex turned into a love affair – with the city AND the guy. Unfortunately, her relationship with Alex ended in heartbreak – and while she still loves Aspen, its high cost of living has her scrambling between multiple jobs to make ends meet – even though she shares expenses with her roommate Star. Reluctantly, Kat has given herself one last summer to meet Mr. Right before leaving Aspen for good.
Aspen’s social scene is a hive of scandal and intrigue – and Laura is definitely the Queen Bee. She may spend the off-season in Newport Beach, California, but when Aspen’s in season, Laura’s in town — shaking things up and making friends and enemies in equal numbers. This season she’s back in town with big plans to launch a ski-wear line. Twice divorced, Laura is the proud mother of three overachieving daughters, but “mom” isn’t the first thing you think of the first time you lay eyes on this stunning beauty. When Laura sets her sights on anything – from another woman’s man to a business opportunity — heaven help anyone who gets in her way.
Confident and beautiful, Shana is the Aspen veteran in our group. She’s been an Aspenite for 18 years and is plugged in all over town; she’s definitely part of the town’s ‘upper crust,’ and she’s no fan of Laura, who she sees as an opportunistic newcomer. Shana’s known for her no-nonsense style; she calls it like she sees it, no matter whose toes she steps on. To her female friends, like Kat and Brooke, Shana’s a mother hen; but when it comes to younger single men – her picture could appear in the dictionary under ‘cougar.’ She’s a successful businesswoman in the diamond jewelry business, with clients all over the country. Shana loves her life — and loves Aspen.

MEET THE CAST
[/color][/center]Reader, meet Brooke. She is a local who lives in Aspen, goes to all the parties, has tons of friends and is just an all around great person to associate yourself with. But don't think of her as the "stuck-up" kind [yet]. She's extremely down to earth. Earlier in the year, Brooke stayed with Laura in California; that led to an ugly rift in their friendship – with Laura feeling that Brooke took advantage of her generosity, and Brooke thinking that Laura is using it as leverage in their relationship. And now we're here...

EPISODE RECAP
So, on the first episode, it opens up to the ambitious Laura coming from California and setting her eyes on the Aspen she loves, hoping to get some things down with her "friend" Brooke. Once there, Laura quickly gets the conversation to be about her and only her, which bugs the hell out of Brooke.
Soon after that awkward meet up, Laura goes to a massage palor and meets up with, none other than, Kat! They engage in a pretty well-off conversation until Laura's attitude and rich-lifestyle from birth puts the subject on her and condescends about Kat's not so awesome lifestyle. This turns off Kat and makes Kat think Laura is truly a bitch that every damn person in Aspen claims her to be.
So, the day ends here and the town wakes up to even more drama between Laura and Brooke. Laura thinks Brooke stands her up because she "promised" that she would meet up with her and get each others make-up done for the party later on. Laura calls a friend of her's and starts breaking down crying,, wanting someone to let her know that, for once, she isn't in the wrong this time.
Later on, the party starts. New faces show up, even Kat comes down to enjoy the party! Laura goes around and meets a girl named Robin for the first time. Robin is another woman who has heard a lot of negative things about Lauara (who doesn't?). Anyway, Laura takes Robin and introduces to this handsome guy. Robin starts to like Laura because of this but what Laura does changes EVERYTHING.
Laura totaly walks over to Robin and the handsome guy who are dancing with each other and manipulates Robin by dancing with him as well. They're both literally holding hands with the guy, dancing on him, seeing who has the better moves. Eventually, Robin is so shell-shocked by Laura and just stops and walks away! (Poor Robin). aura wins and gets treated in the bathroom with the young gentleman.
After Laura's sex scene is over, she comes out and talks to Brooke again and complains about how she doesn't treat her right. Laura comes to the conclusion that they should no longer be friends and the episode ends with an exciting and promising super trailer.
