Aspen Highlands to Stay Open on Weekends!

Aspen Highlands Patrol Dogs

Aspen Highlands Patrol Dogs

March is historically the snowiest month for Colorado, but 2009 is seeing a lot of white stuff dumping in April.  Starting out with 10″ as of 11am on Apri 1st (no foolin’), Aspen Skiing Company is betting that Aspen and Snowmass will continue to see huge amounts of snow fall.  In response, Aspen Highlands ski area will re-open for the weekends of April 18-19 and 25-26 after the mountain’s final day on Sunday, April 5th.

There is not a better place for spring skiing than Aspen and Snowmass Village, Colorado. The sun is out, the sky is blue and the powder is deep. This year is even better since local lodging companies have discounted rates starting at $89/night! Check out Stay Aspen Snowmass for more details.
