Skiing the Burn at Aspen Snowmass

Last year Snowmass added a gondola from the base to the Elk Camp area on the east side of the ski mountain. The picture below is a view looking back at the base area from the gondola. It is especially nice when there is high wind and blowing snow with the only disadvantage is having to remove one’s skies before loading.

One of our favorite runs is the burn at Snowmass. The day was bright and clear with great Colorado snow. I held the camera in one hand, my poles in the other and headed down from the top of the Big Burn lift. The entrance is through a narrow tree lined path which opens up onto a wide expanse of ski heaven.
