Other than a half day at Discovery in Montana a couple of years ago, the last time we were out was during the SLC Olympics. Got a discount at the AirB&B at Tahoe City because a bear broke into the house the week before, ripping the front door off. People are using electric fences and electrified scat mats to keep the bears out of the houses. 3 Quote
toast21602 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Posted May 8, 2018 I'm over skiing for the season, and have been for a while, but I am enjoying reading your reports and your pictures. Thanks! Quote

April was our fifth best month in the last 5 years and May is off to a robust start. Quote
eaf Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Posted May 8, 2018 I'm super envious of kids that get to go to schools like this... 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted May 8, 2018 Report Posted May 8, 2018 The high school in Aspen is right near the base of Aspen Highlands...Aspen residents pay fairly low property tax rates as well due to such a high tax base and small percentage of homeowners being year round and even using the schools. That field looks nicer than some of the local colleges. I actually saw saw a condo for sale on Zillow for $55,000 but it’s a 1/12 share with only one week of the four weeks during ski season. Wow just wow. Quote
eaf Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Posted May 8, 2018 Yeah, and speaking of Highlands... Really biked all the way here only because of the view from this bridge. 4 Quote
Barb Posted May 8, 2018 Report Posted May 8, 2018 If the access road to the bells is open it’s definitely worth a drive over there Quote

eaf Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Posted May 9, 2018 Aspen from Ute rock half way up Aspen mountain. I'm already above some snow, but the goal is to get to the real one before turning back. 4 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted May 9, 2018 Report Posted May 9, 2018 Eaf are you getting excited for ABasin this weekend??? Quote
eaf Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Posted May 9, 2018 Getting cloooooser. I wonder, what color this is. Quote
eaf Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) There is some life over here... Engine sound not too far below. I wonder if I can get my ass kicked if they run into me. I'm way off the trail by now. Can't believe it, made a mistake, ended up too low and now have to climb a stupid diamond. Edited May 9, 2018 by eaf Quote

eaf Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Posted May 9, 2018 What I'm concerned about are the bears. Perhaps I should just go back. Quote

eaf Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Posted May 9, 2018 The lifts aren't spinning, but I hear groomers somewhere. Maybe they open for a weekend? Quote
eaf Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Posted May 9, 2018 Oh hey, there is Aspen airport in the distance... Quote
eaf Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) OK, I have 30 min to go down. Yeah, skis would be nice now. Edited May 9, 2018 by eaf 5 Quote
