BREAKING UPDATE: I’ve heard from a reliable source that the mountain is NOT opening this weekend.
Thanks to some serious dumps of snow the past couple of days, “rumor” has it Aspen Mountain is opening Saturday!! Skiing four days earlier than we thought! SkiCo hasn’t officially announced it, but everyone knows it’s true!!
Of course, the hardcore have already been doing it … Chris Davenport was floating through powder on Back of Belle yesterday, while my lovely Vermonster was skinning up the mountain with five of his closest friends. The skiiers are nuts out here!!
