Aspen POW Porn.

Everybody knows AspenSpin loves the POW POW.  Not only does it drive traffic to our sick website...but it acts like a booking engine for the entire town of Aspen.  Excuse me, to be politically correct the oligopoly that has become Aspen / Snowmass.

Lifts are scheduled to start spinning in Aspen on Thanksgiving ( Nov 27).  My educated guess is that we will get a few early bonus days again this year.  In my mind it's a done deal...and here's why;

*  It's dumping like a MO FO as I write this...and its supposed to continue through Sunday.  We're looking for 20+ inches.   A very nice kick-start to the season.

*  Aspen Skiing Company cannot resist the positive PR opportunity offered by an early opening.

*  I saw Mike Kaplan ( CEO of ASC) at lunch today.  He was gracious as always, and although no words were spoken between us about an early opening in Aspen, the non verbal cues were obvious (to me).  Kaplan's body language clearly indicated (to me) that the odds are good for an early opening. 

Below are a few photos of our early season storm.  If I were you...I'd book your moderate priced lodge rooms ASAP.   Or...perhaps you deserve to go HUGE and rent the biggest and best place possible.   The big daddy $40 million. (almost) ski in / ski out house with the super posh bowling alley is still available.  100% of the newly developed penthouses are available.   Maybe you're still young and adventurous...if so, crash on your Bro/Brah's couch.

Feast your eyes on the Aspen POW Porn. The first 3 photos are courtesy of Jeremy Swanson / Aspen Ski Co.  and the other ones including the lovely Carmelo (above) are from AspenSpin.

I think youre right A. Ski Co's fixed costs in November have got to be huge. Why not generate a little cash flow and a lot of good pr with all us locals by opening a bit early if conditions permit? Makes good business sense!
