On the one hand, it's just a building on a hillside. On the other hand, it's the entrance to the Compromise Mine, one of the most important mines in Aspen's history. And the hillside, well, that too has had a relatively important role to play in Aspen's history. Above the building is Silver Queen and Silver Rush. Below the building, Little Nell. View from the gondy this afternoon. Hopefully, the scene will look much different (whiter) in three months time
