The Innsbruck Aspen

AND SO IT BEGINS....2013/2014 Season opening at Aspen and Snowmass in full swing!  What a weekend this has been...many of the locals have commented on the fact this has been "one of the best opening weekends in years!"  (All the pics on this Blog today, except XGames, are from this opening weekend here at Aspen and Snowmass by local photographers Jeremy Swanson and David Dieter!)

 

Buttermilk and Aspen Highlands follow shortly opening on December 14....but with all the snow we are getting, and by the way it's snowing again right now...stacking and rollin' in...be sure to watch our Facebook and Blog because they could possibly open sooner! 

There are so many activities this season, we have listed just a few gearing up the next couple of weeks, and we will continue to list them on our Blog...so stay tuned!  











Winter showcases outdoor concerts, ski races, big air competitions and signature events like the  ESPN X Games and Bud Light Concert Series...just to name a few! 

"ThanksJibbing" is next Friday, November 29th! This invite-only rail jam will take place at 2pm at Snowmass Base Village. Thanksjibbing consists of a 45-minute jam session with both skiers and snowboarders, followed by a 20-minute final. Base Village will be jamming with Turkey Bowling and the Leftover Challenge. Local restaurants set out their best Thanksgiving-themed treats. To participate in the turkey bowling bring a nonperishable food item or donation for Lift Up.
