Since the beginning of the week, our weather has flipped the switch back to winter! It dumped on Monday, with 12" of fresh snow and it's dumping again today. We don't know what the final totals will be, but Aspen Highlands is definitely the place to be (and the last mountain standing) this week. Closing day is Sunday, April 21, but Skico has announced a bonus weekend of skiing April 27-28. And yes, it really looks like this today!
