Hazy and lazy

WEATHER: Relatively hot and quite hazy today, with temps in the mid-70s. Tuesay should be sunny with temps in the upper 70s. Wednesday brings some clouds and still high temps. Biggest change in the weather is the smoke in the air, presumably from Southern California.

NEWS: The Wall Street Journal covered the upcoming renovation of The Little Nell in full detail, down to the color of chosen fabrics. At $18 million across 86 rooms (the six suites have already been re-done), the project comes to $209,000 a room. The renovation of the Nell, along with the opening of the Viceroy hotel in Snowmass, makes lodging the “what’s new” story of the winter for Aspen Skiing Co.

NOTES: It is that great time of year when town is a bit quieter but summer is still in full effect. Trails, fishing holes, etc. all a bit quieter now.
