WINTER PARK RESORT TO OPEN EARLY FOR 72^nd SEASONSATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2011 WINTER PARK, COLO. (November 7, 2011)- Winter Park Resort, one of Colorado’s premier resort destinations, has announced that it will open four days earlier than originally planned for the 72^nd season on Saturday, on November 12, 2011. Skiing and riding will take place on 36 acres and five trails accessible via four lifts; Arrow, Gemini, Endeavour and depending on conditions, the Discovery lift.

“Winter Park Resort is responding to the high demand for early season access to the slopes from Colorado’s Front Range skiers and riders. Also, by opening ahead of schedule we are putting seasonal employees to work earlier than originally expected,” said Gary DeFrange, president and chief operating officer at Winter Park Resort. “Thanks to the hard work of our snowmaking and grooming crews, plus early season snowfall, the runs are primed and ready to go.”

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!

Hi Sarah

Well we have now returned from a great trip,thanks for all your careful arrangements. Generally we found the destination was great, the snow was great, and everything worked out pretty well. Haven’t got the photos organized yet but here’s a few snaps - I’m sure you’ll recognise a lot of them. We had quite a bit of snow overnight,and once during the day,and skiing through 8 inches of fresh powder was definitely an unforgettable experience.

It was a great trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it, and would recommend to others (have already, in fact). Thanks for all your advice,it was great to know in advance from someone who had actually been there.

Hey Sarah,
