The "new" Best Day Ever in Aspen

Photo Matt Power. 12/7/07 the "former" best day ever.Twas two days before Christmas, and all through the Valley

anticipation was high, Winter weather did rally.

big,soft, fluffy snowflakes began dropping like the Dow,

it got so deep, even Santa needed a plow.

it dumped and dumped and dumped all night, into the morn,

The line at the bucket started to amass, the tourists were forlorn.

26 inches of fresh POWDER and it was all "nipple deep"

unlimited "face shots" for those who found the steeps.

lap after lap after lap, locals on fatties were ripping,

the Nooo Yawkers ate lunch, fondue they were dipping.

POW kept a fallin', would it stop, hopefully never.

the standard was set in Aspen,  The "new"  BEST DAY EVER.

Editor's note:   We surveyed countless Aspen veterans in our quest to determine if 12.23.08 was actually the best day ever on Ajax. We compared 12.23.08 to several huge epic POW days from the past, including 12.07.07 (pictured above) and others from last year's-- BEST SEASON EVER.  We considered snow quality, depth, terrain available and the omnipresent stench of weed in each and every gondola car to reach our conclusion. YES!!!! its official, 12.23.08 is the "new" best day ever, and it was siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.  Agree or disagree?  You can post a comment below.

Dump-a-Thon

It looks like Tuesday is the day Aspen. For the third straight Tuesday,Aspen is getting hit with a major powder storm. At press time its still dumping----hard---- so its difficult to call it----but we're estimating 12" to 18" ---maybe more. Pull out your snorkel & your "floaters",break out the fattest skis in your quiver and get after it.

Many thanks go out to Men's Journal Mag. who hosted a series of wild, super-sexy events at The Little Nell. Security was tight---but we snuck in to grab some A-Spin style photos. Maybe you made the BIG TIME--click Journal Entry and see.

Please Note: Due to the extreme weather, our latest photos from the Men's Journal Weekend in Aspen are currently without captions---sorry. Maybe we'll cowboy up after shreding the gnar. today, but the pix are special ---as always--soooo
