Opening Day & Other Events This Ski Season
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.

OVER A FOOT OF NEW SNOW ON THE SLOPES!
Winter arrived in Aspen/Snowmass last night with over a foot of snow falling on our four mountains! Continuous cold temperatures will allow the snowmaking guns to fire up as we get ready for Opening Day (Nov. 27), World Cup ski racing Opening Weekend and the first Bud Light Hi-Fi Concert of the season - featuring Robert Randolph and the Family Band. The snow is still falling and a series of storms are lined up to move through the area in the next week!
