Despite fresh powder falling on Aspen's famed ski hills, the Aspen Skiing Co. will NOT extend its season and run chairlifts.
“We're done,” Aspen Skiing Co. spokesman Jeff Hanle told Scott Conlon of the Aspen Times on Monday when asked if extended skiing is a possibility.
This season was already one of the longest on record, with 151 days from the Thanksgiving Day start at Aspen Mountain and Snowmass to Sunday's season-ending bash at Aspen Highlands.
In past years when snow conditions were phenomenal, the Skico opened on weekends after the end of the scheduled season, or it opened for novelty skiing on Memorial Day weekend.
Not happening this year.
