The recent snowfall will allow Aspen Highlands to make an impressive season debut on Friday, potentially including terrain in Highland Bowl.
The ski area will open with five chairlifts, “much” of the front side terrain as well as trails in Temerity and the Olympic side and possibly in the Bowl, according to Aspen Skiing Co.
“We are optimistic that a few runs in Temerity, and some of our steeper runs on the Olympic side (Deception, Why, Why Not) will be available,” Skico announced on its website Thursday. “We hope to have some of the G Zone runs in the Highland Bowl, however, we will delay if this approaching storm dictates that need for safety.”
