Current Weather Conditions
It is currently snowing steadily and has been all morning. It seems we shovel walkways and steps every hour just to keep up. Forecasters are calling for 1-2 feet possible thru Sunday.

Wow, Winter is here in full stride. We enjoyed a record setting December for snowfall. We do look forward to your arrival.
We officially open again tomorrow, just in time for Memorial Weekend. I'm pleased to say we are fairly busy too. It's a great way to start off the summer season.
There are many things happening this summer in Aspen/Snowmass. From music, to arts & craft fairs, to whitewater rating and hot air balloon trips. Truely, summers are the reason we live in the valley.

What a beautiful week we are having in Aspen/Snowmass. After 32 inches of snow last week, the skies are bright blue with not a cloud in site. This is the perfect spring skiing and riding weather.
March is busy at the Chalet. In fact there is very little availability this month. In March we see a lot of families on Spring break late in the month and the retired people early in the month. Skiing/snowboarding is a great sport for the entire family, parents kids and grandparents. Once everyone is on the same level, it’s truly a pleasure to get out on the slopes with everyone.
Snowmass Village will once again celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. For a full schedule of events on Saturday, March 17th, go to: http://www.snowmassvillage.com
What a beautiful day in Snowmass Village!
Bright blue skies and fresh powder, what a day to put on your skis or snowboard and head out on the hill. This is the perfect day!
With Presidents Day and Mardi Gras over, many families are headed back home. What a busy time we have had in Snowmass. Lodging will filled to capacity everywhere. When these two holidays meet during the same week, it seems there are more school breaks. Kids were everywhere!
March is just around the corner and is even busier than February. There is very limited space left at the Chalet so call now if you have not booked your reservation!
It’s February already, the winter season is flying by! The snow is fabulous this winter so if you have not booked your reservation, call now; 800-843-1579 as space is very limited!
Snowmass has many activities planned this month. Here’s what you can look forward to:
This February, Mardi Gras celebrates 25 years by adopting New Orlean's adage "Let the good times roll." But it might as well be a motto for the entire month! From the 5th annual Poker Run and a free concert with The Samples to the start of Bud Light Big Air Fridays and The Ski Tour stop, Snowmass' event calendar sizzles. Don't forget to stop by the beautiful new visitor center for information or visit the Artisan and sample their new breakfast menu. From breakfast to big air, Snowmass just has more.

Welcome 2007! We are having our first big storm for 2007. We woke up to about a foot of snow this morning and it has brought smiles to everyone’s face – that isn’t trying to get in or out of here anyway. Denver of course is getting hit again with snow too. They are NOT happy about it. They prefer the snow stays in the mountains as well. Keep doing those snow dances as in the mountains; there is NEVER too much snow.
Winterskol is coming up. To check out the full schedule of events for this annual event, go to: http://www.aspenchamber.org/CEvents-Calendars-Special-Events-Winterskols-55th-Anniversary-Celebration-pl1241.cfm
The Winter XGames are at the end of the month. Space is getting very tight throughout the valley for these dates so if you plan to come out, you better book now! For a full schedule of events go to: http://www.expn.go.com/xgames/wxg/vii/
2007 is just around the corner. We are left wondering what happened to 2006 and it’s going out with a bang especially for those in Denver! Snow, snow and more snow is how so many will remember this year.
Here in Snowmass Village, we have snow, but this last storm seems to have missed us. Guests trying to get in/out of the area are relieved. It’s wonderful to go on a ski trip but blood pressure rises as each flight is cancelled or delayed. For those traveling through Denver, go to this site for updates. http://www.flydenver.com
There are many activities in Snowmass over the New Year’s so be sure to check the calendar so you don’t miss anything. I plan to attend several of the Academy Screenings this weekend. http://www.aspencalendars.com
Wow! What a snowstorm we’ve had in Colorado. Aspen Snowmass saw 16 inches for fresh powder from the storm. Denver, as you have heard had 25 plus inches. We stayed opened and the people here have had a wonderful time on the slopes. Ski resorts really never shut down. This is simply a rare storm for Denver.
Some of our guests are not able to get out and have made the best of it by getting back on the hill. Those coming here are having trouble getting in if they are coming through Denver. Those coming through LA, Phoenix, Eagle or Salt Lake have been able to fly in today. We really appreciate everyone’s positive attitude in a situation no one could control. This will be a trip no one will forget!
Are you ready for the holidays? I see many people out shopping in the Mall. For those in Aspen Snowmass, there is so much to do. To find out all the details, go to: http://www.aspencalendars.com
The Snowmass Mountain Chalet is ending a very busy week. We had 3 ski clubs and several long-term guests at the hotel. The staff loves to see all the familiar faces back for another ski season. Many of our guests book for the following year before they leave. Groups are doing that as well!
The entire Village is gearing up for the holiday season. It’s such a festive time of year. Be sure to check out the calendar of events if you are coming to Snowmass in the near future. You are going to have a wonderful time!
