No Aspen pass, no problem in the second weekend of December as Aspen Skiing Co. announced a new “Passapalooza” event to entice skiers and snowboarders from around the country and world.
During the Dec. 13 though 15 weekend, lift tickets will be $59 per day for anyone holding a valid 2019-20 pass from any resort in the world.
There will be events in conjunction with the celebrations at Snowmass Base Village for the opening of The Collective, a new community center with the mix6 restaurant and a kids’ interactive art and game lounge.
In Aspen, The Little Nell is celebrating its 30th anniversary this season, and that weekend there will be a “Party Like It’s 1989” event with DJs, bands and a costume contest.
