Sliding into off-season

It was a fairly nice day in Aspen, although the sight of the dust-covered mountain looming over town seemed like a giant billboard for a trip to a tropical clime.
The weather forecast is doing its part to produce travel-related economic stimulus. Rain-then-snow showers expected tonight with one-to-two inches overnight. Another two-to-four inches on Thursday, another one-to-three inches on Thursday night, and another one-to-two inches on Friday. That’s up to ten inches by Friday afternoon. Hmmm. Okay, it is good for backcountry skiers but the lounging lift lizards will only be frustrated. There is lots of off-season activity underway, including a resurfacing of the North of Nell building. But so far, the immediate construction pace doesn’t seem quite as frenzied as in years past. Which, depending on where you stand, can either be a good thing or a bad thing. But it is for certain more of a quiet thing.
