Aspen/Snowmass will invest nearly $8 million in on-mountain improvements this year and has invested more than $130 million over the previous six seasons. Improvements over that period include 11 new lifts with two new gondolas, the industry-leading Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center, three new restaurants, additional terrain plus the new Snowmass base village.
In addition to the on-mountain improvements, the company will complete the first phase of the $18 million room renovation at The Little Nell hotel this fall. The Little Nell, Aspen’s only five-star, five-diamond hotel, just steps away from the Silver Queen Gondola is setting a new standard in hotel room design with the commission of internationally known residential designer Holly Hunt.
On mountain, Aspen/Snowmass will have 100 percent hands-free radio frequency gate access across the four mountains for the 2009-2010 season. Tickets will be a plastic card with a chip inside detecting guests as they move through lift lines. Now there’s no need to dig in your pocket to find your pass or ticket, allowing for smooth and quick access to the slopes.
From the Women's FIS World Cup Alpine Ski Races in November to the CoverGirl Snow Angels Invitational in April, the 2009-2010 season is packed with world class events. Highlighted by ESPN Winter X Games 14 in January, who recently extended their contract to host the X Games at Buttermilk through 2012, the events calendar includes exciting parties, free concerts and athletic competitions. Aspen/Snowmass will host Olympians from November through January as they prepare and qualify for the Olympic Games in February.
