So I began my weekend of Rocky Mountain skiing today at the Highlands, unfortunately I had travelling issues yesterday and missed a connection so I didnt make it to Aspen until 10 today so we just skied the halfday.
The storm earlier this week was good timing but they could still use some snow.
I think every official trail report has to have the EC shot
We warmed up on some groomers and then I took some suggestions from KD and he was right on about the Highland bowl it's definitely worth the hike to the top. The snowcat is an awesome blessing it saved a little bit of my legs.
It's tough to begin your ski season with this hike and then the long ski down but it was worth it even having to stop so often to settle the burning legs.
Brother about halfway up
It's a pretty good hike up, especially at an elevation over 12k.
Was a great first day to my ski season I hate it was only half a day but it was probably all I could have done anyhow. Highlands will def be on my list to make it back to especially later in the season when they have more snow. There was still a lot of powder stashes around but also a lot of exposed rock and crud.
Snowmass in the morning
