What is the Aspen ski seasona I'm planning a trip next year and would like to go skiing in Aspen and Las Vegas. Its far in the future but I know the weather is good in Las Vegas around May and I wondered how long the Aspen ski-season - help please!
Most ski resorts do not stay open, just because snow on the ground - they can not guarantee that staff can stay, so they have the final opening and closing dates to ensure that there are people enough to run the elevators, etc.
Here is the schedule for Aspen and the surrounding mountains for the ski season. It should be about the same next year:
2006-2007 Operating Dates
Snowmass Nov. 23, 2006 - April 15, 2007
Aspen Mountain November 18, 2006 - April 15, 2007
Aspen Highlands December 9, 2006 - April 1, 2007
Buttermilk Dec. 9, 2006 - April 1, 2007
NOTE: There would be skiing at Arapahoe Basin in early May Because they are at 12,000 feet, they stay open until June, although the ski may be enough to spring slush. If you go skiing on their way to Las Vegas, one can have.
They shuold be sking in May, but if they do not have a winter like this year he could go skiing, rock. Go early in May, if you can.
Starts around Thanksgiving (sometimes on the weekend before, when snow comes early) and ends mid-April. A few stations can be opened from April 15 and some may close a week earlier.
