Well, believe it or not, the snow has begun to fall at Aspen/Snowmass! On August 30th they received there first noticeable snow accumulation high in the mountains. The mood there is great as everyone excitedly looks toward the winter months to come!

Although the ski season is still months away, we would like to remind you of one of the newest programs at Aspen/Snowmass. As you may already know, Aspen Highlands has been considered by many to be there most extreme mountain. Labeled by many as a “local’s mountain,” we find it very important that the large number of expert skiers and boarders that visit the mountains every year can also experience the challenging terrain that Aspen locals have come to know and love.

Therefore, for the first year ever, Aspen/Snowmass is offering free Ambassador Tours every Wednesday in the Aspen Highland’s Bowl! We truly think that these free ski tours of the Bowl will be great  for the many up-and-coming expert skiers and boarders visiting Aspen/Snowmass this season. I know for many the bowl can be a bit daunting at first glance. Hopefully this program will encourage many to make the challenging 30 minute hike in order to experience some of the best views and skiing Aspen has to offer.

The snow is falling, the mood is great and we look forward to booking you on a ski holiday to Aspen/Snowmass!
