The fair city of Aspen, Colorado was graced with four inches of snow overnight and all the mountains look great this morning. The above courtesy photo by SkiCo's Jeremy Swanson shows the snow fell on Snowmass, too, and Fanny Hill is looking smooth as a baby's backside. The race course on Aspen Mountain looks ready for some serious GS turns by Vonn and Company. And Wednesday marks the start of the season on Ajax with the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club's $35 day benefit day. At noon today, the guns of Nell were still roaring, laying down the base we'll be working with for the season. Oh, man, is this cool or what? (Please excuse the unbridled enthusiasm, but it is like being a surfer stranded on a desert island that only gets surf for one season, and suddenly you look up from the beach and small clean sets are starting to roll across the reef, which has looked like a lake for months and months. Stoked!).
