Highland Bowl

Earning the 100-day pin in Aspen Snowmass

Earning the 100-day pin in Aspen Snowmass

After getting hammered by nine consecutive days of storms and snowfall, Aspen, the ski town, felt like it got its groove back.

One for the record books

The Broncos may have lost the Superbowl, but countless champions were crowned up in Highland Bowl this weekend. Tim scored his own title here in Filip’s Leap. The snow arrived Thursday and began to fall at a rate we don’t often see (or at least for too long) through sometime Saturday morning. When it was all said and done, the words historic or even biblical were being thrown around to...

Pretty good, for November

Pretty good, for November

Dec 2, 2013

Early season powder? We’ll take it! We haven’t seen this much snow this early in years. Things are looking good. There’s a “major winter storm” heading our way, and if November was any indication, it could be a good year. Check out some photos from the early season skiing last month. (more…)

Storm Day Skiing – Christy’s Perspective

Storm Day Skiing – Christy’s Perspective

Jan 25, 2011

Saturday’s bad weather made for classic storm day conditions up in Highland Bowl. The wind and low visibility kept the fair weather crowds away, and the snow only piled up deeper as the day progressed. Here’s a little video from Christy’s Bowl day. If it isn’t obvious, she’s a proud member of the camp that believes that you should never ride the snowcat up the ridge, no matter how short...

Thank you for skiing the Highlands

Thank you for skiing the Highlands

Always preferring to check conditions firsthand, AHSP’s Powder Weasel– seen above in the Northwoods– determined things were pretty good. If I were him, I might have deemed a second run through as necessary to fully assess things before opening it to the public. Because I found myself with so many deep powder pics I decided that a third post from our huge storm was warranted– if it pushes my coverage...

Free Refills

Free Refills

Feb 25, 2010

Tim blasts through a stacked “Stop Sign” on Sunday. It seemed the snow was refilling old tracks wherever we went. If you weren’t around this past weekend you missed out on a special offering at Highlands– free refills from Saturday to Tuesday– and not the type that come from the soda fountain at the Merry Go Round. Through the entire extended weekend it seemed like every lap in Highland Bowl...

Highlands Hustling

Highlands Hustling

Feb 23, 2010

Amy Beidleman agreed it was likely more than 3-5, but couldn’t get an official number as her ruler didn’t have a measurement that went all the way to ‘waist deep’. Click pics to enlarge. I’ve seen it before, during extended dry periods of past winters, people can become a little jaded and skeptical of storm predictions. Whether the forecasts are incorrect or simply not calling for any big dumps, after...

Three Turkeys

Three Turkeys

Neal Beidleman, halfway into his second frame. Hang out at Aspen Highlands enough and you’ll eventually overhear conversations rehashing the days exploits up in the Bowl using proper bowling terms, and in a style more commonly reserved for the 10 pin, Budweiser sponsored, indoor “sport.” Basically, this type of ski slang/ Bowl-speak works like this– to ski the Bowl from the top is considered a strike, and to ski any...

Plowing into a new decade

Plowing into a new decade

Jan 2, 2010

Christy goes full steam ahead into the first new snow of 2010 and a new decade, via G-6. Click to enlarge. Hopefully January 2nd isn’t too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year. As our first day out together in 2010, Christy and I found things to be pretty good over at Highlands. We’re psyched for 2010 and all that it could bring. The race calendar is filling up,...

Hands down my favorite run out there! The San Juan Hands down my favorite run out there! The San Juan Solstice 50 Mile loop around Lake city is always so challenging and so scenic. From the deep, cold creek crossings at 5am to the miles upon miles above 13,000 feet, it hard to not come back each year. But what a day for my 10th @sanjuansolstice50! Thanks @tedmahon for pacing the last 10 miles and always being my rabbit 🐇 #sanjuansolstice50 #sjs50 #lakecitycolorado #lettheoutsidein @stio
