Pre-Season Scouting Report: Aspen Mountain

It's almost time to ski and ride in Aspen.  Anticipation for ski season 2012/13 is high.  The Aspen Powder Hounds are chomping at the bit.  Aspen Mountain is a very intimate ski hill with only 673 acres (inbounds).  The gondola ride to the top is about 17 minutes.  Non stop skiing top-to-bottom, 3,267 verts takes about 6 minutes (depending on who you are).  Here's a zoom study, 11/17/12.
