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.

]]>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
]]>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!
]]>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.
Upcoming Events
Feb. 16: Start the weekend off right at the first in a weekly series of 2007 Bud Light Big Air Fridays competition, where regional athletes huck their best moves off a 40-foot jump, followed by music & fireworks.
Feb. 18: The 5th Annual Snowmass Rotary Club Poker Run fundraiser invites card sharks to circle Snowmass, while the Bud Light Hi Fi Concert Series offers a free concert by The Samples on the Snowmass Village Mall.

]]>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
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 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!
]]>The slopes are open and the skiing and riding is fabulous. The Big Burn opened yesterday. The new Gondola will open on December 15th.
If you have not made your reservations its’ not too late but call soon as we are running out of space!
Thanksgiving was another success at the Chalet. We sold out and enjoyed a wonderful traditional Thanksgiving dinner. The skiing was the best, but everyone seemed to enjoy the holiday anyway.

Some area activities happening are:
Nov. 25-26, Aspen
Sirius Satellite Radio Aspen Winternational Audi FIS Women’s Ski World Cup
It sounds like a mouthful but promises an eyeful when the fastest women in the world head to town for two days of Giant Slalom and Slalom competitions. Aspen/Snowmass is the only place on U.S. soil to see such American faves as Olympic Gold medalist Julia Mancuso, Lindsay Kildow, Resi Steigler, and Stacey Cook compete.
Comedy at the Cabaret
Nov. 24, Snowmass
Need a good laugh? The Silvertree Hotel presents Louis Johnson and Steve Gastineau in a hilarious evening for adult’s age 21 and older. Comedy at the Cabaret is the perfect antidote to the rubber legs you'll incur from your first day out on the slopes.
