Aspen Mountain Ski Area Opening for Two Additional Weekends
Aspen Mountain Ski Area is another awesome ski area opening their runs this weekend and the next. With a huge storm prepping to dump another foot on Colorado’s Ski Towns in coming days we are all rejoicing! Aspen Mountain will reopen this weekend, April 26-27 and next weekend, May 3-4. The mountain will open with as much terrain as conditions allow. Hours of operation will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Silver Queen Gondola, Ajax Express, FIS and Ruthie’s Chairs will run and the Sundeck will fire up the grill on the deck.

“The late season should be true spring skiing with good coverage,” said Rich Burkley, vice president mountain operations, Aspen Skiing Company. “This has been what I call a charmed season…we opened early and strong and stayed that way until mid April.”

All other room types are 20 percent off. A valid Colorado ID is required upon check-in. This special is based on availability, with a few blackout dates. To book call 855-617-2338. The Ajax Tavern patio will also be open with a limited menu on both weekends. Aspen/Snowmass has received more than 300 inches of snow this season. This season has seen consistent snowfall and excellent coverage since the resort opened early in November. More terrain opened early and stayed open through the season than any season in recent years.
I see mashed potatoes in my future. Aspen will be tasty!
