Break out the neon windbreakers and the ski jeans for the last week of the extended season at Snowmass: the lifts stop turning at the end of the day April 25.
All season passes apply as they would during the regular season; day tickets will be $99 for adults and $65 for children and seniors age 65 and older. Aspen Mountain closes Sunday; Buttermilk and Aspen Highlands have already wrapped operations for the season.

Yes, skiers, that is the sound of live music you hear.
Without fanfare, the Aspen Skiing Co. last weekend rolled out its new, COVID-safe Music on the Mountains series, bringing pop-up style daytime concerts to local ski areas. They’re designed with the pandemic-bred health and safety concerns in mind, situated and scheduled not to attract crowds, but instead to entertain skiers and riders as they pass by or load a chairlift.
