Mountain Mayhem: Closing Day on Ajax
Mountain Mayhem
Thanks to Aspen Snowmass, Aspen Mountain stayed open for a bonus week of skiing, officially calling it quits on Sunday, April 24. A little bit less rowdy than Aspen Highlands closing day, there were still sightings of costumed skiers and snowboarders with one couple sporting hot dog costumes, a few people in banana outfits, and a fair share of wigs and capes, but otherwise most dressed for the elements. The morning started out blustery with wind and snow though a bit of sun peeked out throughout the day. The Sundeck hosted a band inside and was prepared with an organized line at the bar with an A-team of four bartenders working hard from start to close. Cheers to a great winter with – for the most part – a bounty of snow. From the Christmas storms to the surprise dumps in April, I had some of my all-time favorite days on the slopes this season.
