Believe it or not, Tuesday is the tipping point for the 151-day ski season at Aspen-Snowmass.
Once Tuesday is over, we will have 76 days in the books since the season started on Thanksgiving Day, and we've got 75 to go until Aspen Highlands shuts down on Sunday, April 24.
Skiers and riders probably feel like the season is screaming by too fast; non-skiers probably can't wait for winter to end.
This season is especially long with Highlands staying open an extra two weeks after its sister resorts close. Aspen Mountain and Snowmass close Sunday, April 10. Buttermilk closes Sunday, April 3.
The 151 days is the one of the longest, if not the longest, lift-served ski seasons ever at Aspen.
