Aston’s hard season at the end of the season
The excellent spring ski conditions with fresh snow and plenty of sun on Sunday and Sunday help fill the long and bizarre journey of the 2017-18 season.
On Sundays, lions, tigers and bears squatted on Aspen Mountain. Some girls rocked bikinis, some wore terrible amputation equipment, and many wore neon-colored vest-style jumpsuits.
In his first season at Aspen Snowmass, Julia Lee ripped a bear on Aspen Mountain with a long fake forepaw. Although Lee wore the coat over the weekend at the costume manufacturer session of the Aspen Highlands, the coat did not have beer foam and looked like an old-fashioned outfit. She wore it on Aspen Mountain’s Ajax Express elevator because the last day was shortened. She plans to wear it at the staff party at Snowmass today to get the value of money.
“I have had a bear coat for some time. I think this is a perfect mountain village accessory,” she said. “I believe this bear will continue to come back on the closing days of the next few years.”
Hundreds of people participated in or watched the 47th Annual Bell Mountain Buck Bus Campaign, held at 1pm on each scheduled closing day. On the Bell Ridge.
Some skiers and snowboarders jumped awkwardly on Boyd’s Bump – jumped to the ridge – and jumped to the “oohs” and “aahs” in the crowd. Some stunt performers hit the ground in a spectacular blowout blow.
Skiers and skiers fell heavily during the two waves and led the bingo slot through ski patrols.
In Snowmass, the pond dregs activity in the Spider Sabich picnic area saw many skiers and boarding guys fashionly crossing the water. For these self-made craft groups, this is a different story, including some playing sharks and others in Aspen’s firefighting equipment. They need help to get to the pond and then fail in execution.
Sunday marked the last day of 45 years after Aspen Hill manager Peter King worked at Aspen Ski Company. He spent 12 years at Aspen Mountain Manager. He said that the early drought caused some problems.
He said that according to experience, an 18-inch snow base can be used to run back and forth between tracks to compress and compress air from the snow before it can be “tracked and packaged” early in the season during the snow season. But nature will not obey, only 14 inches down in mid-November. Decided to move on, tracking fewer packages.
“The result is a savior,” said Kim.
According to King, another key to the rescue season is insisting on snowmaking. The conditions are so warm that snowmakers cannot find time to continuously blow snow. They found small windows and extended them to January, beyond normal time.
“I understand we can’t control the weather, so you try your best,” said Kim.
This effort paid off, with Aspen managing top-to-bottom skis and other ski resorts suffering from larger brown spots.
“We have fewer people at Christmas (more than last season),” Kim said.
According to Jeff Hanle, vice president of communications, despite the overall decline in Skico, Aspen Mountain still managed to increase skiers’ visits this season.
As of the end of December, Skico’s skiers’ overall visits to four ski resorts fell by 20%. Hanle said the company “returned” but eventually reduced the number of visits this season.
The snowfall in the Aspen area is now 80% on average, but it was 66% for most of February and March. It seems that winter turns around in February and the heavy snowfall in three weeks exceeds the sum of the previous months. However, there was a lot of snow in March and April, and the temperature also rose sharply.
In addition to the decline in skiers, the number of 100-day ski boots issued also declined. As of Friday, 256 costume manufacturer have won their sales, Skico said. Last year there were 341 people.
McCreegan is one of the skiers who won the pin by turns. On Saturday, he cut it in the high alpine forests of Snowmass and cut it to Aspen on Sunday, the 111th day of his skiing this winter.
“I think this is a very good season,” Reagan said. “People are jealous, uh, except for those who have only about five days, I slipped. I didn’t like it. I was a little risky at first.”
He suspects that many people complaining about this season are not actually on the hillside.
Eric Pelton, another manager on the slope, and an Aspen Mountain loyal person provided different perspectives. Although he defeated the season in the season, he showed that he had eaten enough on Sunday’s Sundeck.
“I’m glad it’s over. You can quote me,” he said.
