SNOWMASS — The Aspen Skiing Co. is essentially adding terrain at Snowmass Ski Area without opening any new trails for the 2008-09 season.

The magical maneuver — making something from nothing — is possible by the addition of another high-speed detachable quad chairlift. The old Sheer Bliss chair is being replaced this fall by a crew from Poma of North America.

Well it's been an interesting few weeks and I'm behind in blogging.  A few weeks ago I had a friend and my sister in town and got to guide them around.  Showing stashes, favorite chutes, and generally trying to show them a good time.  What I noticed is how many lines we've learned just this year, however, I also noticed how much terrain we really have that we don't explore nearly enough.  I guess the point is get out there and be adventurous.

December Snow

December Snow - It's been quite the holiday season so far in 2007. With the snow continuing to fall in and fill in the tracks from the day before it's been hard to put away the phat boards! This skier is enjoying untracked powder over on Campground.

With temperatures dropping at night we've had snow falling on the Cirque and the Hanging Valley Wall. The changing colors of the aspen trees and our winning Colorado Rockies are making for a great fall in Snowmass. Check out this "Mountain Town" trailer to get you fired up for some your finest Snowmass turns this coming winter!
