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.

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, 

We received 19 inches (46 cm) yesterday and another storm is coming this way!  We have unbelievable early season snow here in Aspen/Snowmass and the skiing has been awesome!  Yesterday was surely only the first powder day of many more to come.  Here are a few pictures from yesterday……

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.
