slopestar Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 (edited) Katie and I just booked our annual pilgrimage to Aspen! Yasu, B. Free and others have opted to do the extended trip! Dates are Feb 7-16. That group already secured lodging while we decided to keep it on the super cheap and are staying in Glenwood Springs from Feb 7 to Feb 12. I'll have all the softy boards from Alloy with me. Hope to see you all! Follow the trenches.... You will have a tough time pulling me away from Buttermilk, but we also plan to grab a day at Sunlight and Possibly Ski Cooper on Monday on the way home.

b.free Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 (edited) Overall 12+ carvers with different abilities will hit Aspen mountains during this time! Note: this season requires making reservations in Aspen if you have Ikon pass. I would suggest to make reservations as soon as possible, as no one knows how many reservations available each day.

slopestar Posted October 4 Author Report Share Posted October 4 Good call! Last year after the first day we got aspen hate mail for not making a reservation. The drive to and from Glenwood won't be much fun but the hot springs... cant wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queequeg Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 Its looking likely that I will be in Aspen from Feb 9 - 18. I'm gonna buy a 7-day pass, so riding between the 10th and 17th. First time back in Aspen in a long time! Last year I did not ride at all, previous year just one week at Kirkwood. Not super confirmed, but I booked a place downtown. It would be a joy to see y'all while I'm there . I'm old now but I think I can still snowboard/whine about conditions with the best of 'em. Comically: what a rude awakening it is to discover what Aspen lift tix cost at the counter! I was like "how bad could it be???". MY LORD. I lament my innocent youth, purchasing incredibly affordable Aspen lift tickets from bomber during SES! "Hey Kid! Try this—first ones free!" 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be hard to pry me away from Buttermilk and Snowmass as Buttermilk is like perfect Lower Trestles with only a few guys in the water. 7th -12th for us. Will be driving from Glenwood Springs daily. We park at Milk and shuttle wherever we go for the day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
