I had two days left on my Aspen Classic Pass, so the wife and I headed down to Aspen for the second time (for me at least) in the last three weekends. We skied Highlands on Friday and Snowmass on Saturday. I didn't take the camera out much because:
1- When I was skiing the good stuff, I was by myself for the most part.
b- We skied a lot of groomers and those don't make for great pictures.

Oh, and don't duck ropes.

Well.... I was skiing down between the Temerity terrain and Highland Bowl, not really knowing where the hell I was. I saw two patrol go under a rope from where I was into some more open terrain- so I followed them. That was my mistake. Despite the terrain I went into being open, they don't want anyone ducking ropes anywhere- not really how it works at the Front Range resorts.
Well, when I got about 2/3 of the way down the bowl, one of the guys was waiting for me- and he took my pass. I got a personal escort down the mountain and had to wait til the end of the day to get it back.... nice guys and they were just doing their job, but damn that sucked.
