Opening Day & Other Events This Ski Season

The Aspen/Snowmass events calendar rocks, literally.

From Women's Alpine Ski Racing, Colorado Freeride Series and Spring Jam to the Hi-Fi Concert Series and Big Air Fridays, the goings-on are ongoing. Click here to check out the 2008-2009 winter events calendar.

If there's a mountain resort with a more diverse selection of off-snow activities, dining and entertainment, we haven't heard of it. Tedium poses no threat here. The concern in Aspen/Snowmass is whether you can squeeze into your schedule everything you want to try.
