Just the other day, a co-worker asked me during the meeting 'So what's with Oates writing for American Airlines now. Is he a skiing expert or something?' What? I had to investigate. Several hours later, the conversation continued at the office microwave.
Recently he had flow American Airlines and was reading an article on top 10 ski spots in the country. As one would expect, reviews of top ski spots were presented by experts like Jeremy Nobis, former U.S. Ski Team member who competed in the 1994 Olympic Games. Or even Tommy Moe, Olympic gold and silver medalist / U.S. Ski Team member from 1987 to 1998. There, amidst the Olympians or notable political figures seeking to protect our country's environmental top spots, was Mr. Mustache himself, Oates.

For the past 15 years Oates has lived in the Aspen valley with his wife Aimee and son, Tanner. His ranch is home to many animals that he and his wife has rescued, most notably a burro, Jasper, that Oates later named his record label after. Although as a child Oates never had pets because he was allergic to animal dander, his wife had grown up in Illinois and had rescued animals all her life. A Humane Society article suggested:
The couple currently has 11 emus, five alpacas, four llamas, seven turkeys, seven chickens, six or seven guinea fowl, five peacocks, a variable number of barn cats, and three dogs. Their Great Pyrenees dog, Flurry, came from a breed rescue group in Colorado Springs, while their Newfoundland mix, Moonie, and their terrier mix, Mr. Jeepers, came from a local shelter.
