Highlands Powder Posse

SkiCo is inviting qualified folks to come skiing a day early at Aspen Highlands, which will be open for a late-season weekend this Saturday and Sunday. Here's the text of the SkiCo press release: "Aspen Highlands invites skiers and riders to join the Powder Posse tomorrow, Friday, April 17. Skiers and riders are needed to prepare the mountain for the general public for this weekend’s extended season. Those interested need to be at the base of Highlands at 10 a.m. and come no later than 10:30 a.m. when the Exhibition lift closes for the day. The Posse will ski/ride part of Highland Bowl and Steeplechase. Attendees can leave the mountain at any time and should bring a lunch and water as there will be no food service on the mountain. No beacons are needed. No passes are needed but skiers/riders will be asked to sign a waiver. For more information, please call 970/925-1220." And you know, it might just qualify for public service hours ... and the forecast is calling for up to seven inches by the morning.
