Early season snow

We've been in Snowmass for 12 years now and had, apart from last year, good to very good early season ( Thanksgiving and earlier ) skiing. None has bettered what we've had this year. It's been superb. Another 6 to 10 inches today - Nov 24 - on top of a good base.  Feet, if not metres,  of it on the top half of the mountain.




Skinning up from Divide on campground pre season
M making steady progress - long way to go
Top of Sam's Knob - made it !

After being pulled up from 20 feet below - stopped by tree. Failed to make the right hand turn from Brush on to Owl.  Scene ( and same scenario but fortunately not quite the same result ) of an incident on the No 3 bus that I had some 7 years ago. Unpleasant to put it mildly.
With Jimmy - Aspen ski bum personified

Thanksgiving plus 2



 "270" - ditto
