Guns Roaring at Snowmass
Posted on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
Greetings from Snowmass Village, Colo. After a long shoulder season here, fall has given way to winter in the Roaring Fork Valley. The snow guns are fired up to add to the nearly 30 inches we have received from the skies in the last few weeks.
While the lifts don’t open for another 10 days, those who trekked to the top of High Alpine were rewarded with thigh-deep turns and face shots! Today is bluebird, and I got a few shots of the lower mountain at the end of my street. It should be a great opening day on Thanksgiving with a good portion of the mountain open for skiing and riding.
Women’s World Cup ski racing returns to Aspen on Nov. 28 and 29, with giant slalom and slalom events. For more on the 2009 Aspen Winternational and the U.S. Ski Team, click here.
