What many weather forecasters were calling a small disturbance dropped up to 10 inches of snow on the upper slopes of Aspen/Snowmass. The upper slopes of Snowmass were blanketed by 10 inches overnight, and Aspen Mountain saw six inches fall.

With the new snow and cold temperatures allowing non-stop snowmaking, crews are opening more terrain today at Snowmass, and are working hard to get new trails open on both mountains by the weekend.

Aspen/Snowmass will once again host the best women ski racers in the world Dec. 7-9, during the 2007 Aspen Winternational FIS Women’s World Cup. This year’s event will feature both speed and technical races, including the first women’s downhill in Aspen in nearly 20 years, along with super G and slalom races. The races will be the focal point of a weekend packed with additional events including a Bud Light Hi-Fi Concert, gondola plaza festivals, fireworks and parties.
