Greetings from a snowy Aspen/Snowmass,   All four mountains (Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk) are now open for the season! We have had a very steady flow of storms that have made conditions in Aspen/Snowmass fantastic! We have had over 30 inches (75 cm) in the last couple days and our streak of powder days has been great! Buttermilk opened with almost 100% of the terrain open and Aspen Highlands had the Highlands Bowl open for opening day.  The conditions are incredible all over so make sure that everyone knows Aspen/Snowmass is the place for good snow!  Below are some pictures from opening day at Aspen Highlands:

Greetings from Aspen/Snowmass, We opened last Thursday (Nov. 26) with one of the best opening days we have had in recent years.  We had over 500 acres of terrain open for the first day and even more now as our patrols have worked hard to open more and more terrain.  Also this past weekend, Aspen Mountain hosted the Women’s FIS Alpine World Cup races.  The girls raced hard and the course looked fantastic.

Greetings from Aspen/Snowmass! 

We received over two feet (60 cm) of snow this past weekend! It looks like February in town with so much snow covering everything.  We are only 9 days away from opening the lifts and everyone in Aspen/Snowmass can’t wait! Opening weekend we have the return of the FIS Alpine Women’s World Cup race on Aspen Mountain and it’s a great way to kick off the season.

Greetings from Aspen/Snowmass, 

It was another snow and sun filled weekend in Aspen/Snowmass!  We had the Colorado Freeride Competition on our very own Snowmass this weekend.  The competition brings in the best freeskiers and boarders from all over the world to drop huge cliffs and show their skills in skiing technical powder lines.  The results were some huge lines, big drops, and some great spills.  The two-day competition combines two venues, the Hanging Valley Headwall and the Burnside Cliffs, both on Snowmass.  The snow was deep and fluffy and allowed the athletes to push their limits!  If you have clients that are looking for the steep and deep, we definitely have tons here in Aspen/Snowmass.  Here is a great shot of one of the amazing athletes. 

Thanks,

Greetings from Aspen/Snowmass….we received well over a foot (30 cm) of new snow on top of our four mountains last night.  Winter has arrived early in Aspen/Snowmass and hopefully this will mean another record snow fall year!  Please remind your clients that this season will be a great time to visit Aspen/Snowmass with our Buy 8 Get 14 on lift tickets and kid’s ski school lessons.  With a deal like that and four mountains all on the same lift ticket, it will be hard to find a better offer!  Below are some pictures from the recent snow.
