Ski Reports

Tuesday 11-29-05
Opening day was last Thursday, Thanksgiving, with top to bottom skiing on both Snowmass and Aspen. Really good early season conditions especially compared to years past. We recieved almost 30 inches between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning which has made for some excellent skiing! Walshs was opened on Sunday afternoon for the luck of about 30 locals who were there, it was waist to chest deep. The legendary Glen plake was there as well and of course somehow he new when the rope would be dropped. The Back of Bell on Aspen opened Monday, again great snow but a little thin near the bottom as Bell is mid mountain, watch out for those rocks down low still. The lower mountain on both Snowmass and Aspen is still primarly man made snow and hard on the legs after a long day of skiing on top so be careful down there. Snow is in the forecast everyday until next Tuesday so we should see more terrain openeing daily! The weather has been unseasonably cold which is keeping what snow we have in great shape. It is also allowing crews to blow in the race course for the Womans World Cup December 9-11. Check back for the low down every week!
