Aspen fall colors hit their peak


ASPEN — The fall colors in Aspen don’t get any better. Or do they?


A look around the upper Roaring Fork Valley suggests the aspens are hitting their peak, blanketing the mountain slopes around Aspen in gold, but since the leaves don’t all turn color en masse, some popular leaf-peeping locales are further along than others. This past weekend was a prime chance to catch the colors, but the splendor should continue through the coming weekend, as well.


The slopes surrounding Maroon Lake and the Maroon Bells have gone gold, but enough swaths of verdant aspens remain to prolong the show, presuming a big wind, rain or snow doesn’t knock the leaves from the trees (no such event is forecast in the coming days).


The East Maroon Valley, on the other hand, appeared to be peaking on Sunday, with the massive aspen groves on both sides of the valley nearly a solid gold.The upper Castle Creek Valley, south of Aspen, is also at its peak, displaying gold and pockets of the rarer red aspen leaves. Some stands of trees have already lost their leaves at the head of the valley, most of the rest are gold or quickly becoming so, with few swaths of green remaining.


Independence Pass, east of Aspen, may offer an extended display. A reconnaisance mission to the lower reaches of the pass on Saturday revealed enough gold to make the slopes spectacular, but there were plenty of trees yet to turn, as well.In town, Aspen Mountain is crowned in gold, with some patches of green yet on the lower slopes, and gold is spilling into the green atop Red Mountain. Smuggler Mountain is at its prime.


On the outskirts of town, Buttermilk’s aspens are gold, with some trees on the upper slopes already barren of leaves; west Buttermilk is a mix of gold and green.


South of Carbondale, the peak display in the upper Crystal River Valley is probably yet to come. While the mountainsides near Marble are already photograph-worthy, the view from Highway 133 as it climbs McClure Pass should only get better. There were still plenty of aspens that had yet to turn as of Saturday.

Ski Season 2008/2009: What's new on Mountain

Aspen/Snowmass, comprised of Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass will have invested $35 million dollars in capital improvements for the 2008-09 season. Improvements include new terrain at Aspen Highlands and Snowmass.
In Snowmass the new Sheer Bliss chair has a capacity of 2,000 people per hour and takes riders 2,212 vertical feet, 155 feet more than the old Sheer Bliss chair, with a ride time just over nine minutes.
The base of Aspen Mountain features an improved gondola plaza for the 2008-2009 season. New steps, and less of them, will make it even easier to load the gondola.
Buttermilk Mountain, home to the ESPN Winter X Games, has a new Olympic-size superpipe. The new pipe will be more than 500 feet long with walls towering 18 ft. overhead and measuring 22 ft. from the center of the pipe. Upon completion of the superpipe it will stand as one of five 22 ft. superpipes in the US.

Top vacation home spots? Try Aspen/Snowmass

Publications love lists. The October/November issue of Robb Report Vacation Homes, which should be out the middle of next week, will look at the "top" places to buy second homes these days.

RobbblogNo California destinations make the U.S. list, but Las Vegas does. The editors report that while the low-end of the price spectrum has slipped significantly, international demand is buoying the top of the market. Home prices in the Las Vegas area (including Boulder City and Henderson) had dropped 20% at the end of the second quarter from the same quarter a year ago, according to San Diego-based MDA DataQuick. For the same period, sales were off 18%.

The criteria for making the Robb Report list seems to be somewhat of a head-scratcher. Included in the top 5 are Aspen/Snowmass Village, Colo., which saw its "second-best year for home sales ever" in 2007 and where prices are up an average 10.5% in 2008; Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where median home prices rose more than 50% from 2000 to 2006 and are reportedly holding firm in resort areas; and Maui, where condo prices are up 27% from a year ago. Yet also making the list is Miami, with a high rate of foreclosures and a condo overbuilding problem. As for that editors' pick, "Miami epitomizes the 'buy low, sell high' axiom for potential investors."

The series opens Feb. 9 with pianist Jeffrey Kahane. The music director of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Kahane has played recent solo recitals in Aspen, Chicago and New York. In the 2005-’06 season, he performed all 23 Mozart piano concertos as part of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth.

"HOT HARE" BRINGS PLENTY OF HOT AIR TO SNOWMASS, COLORADO

Tallest Balloon in the U.S. visits one of highest balloon festivals in U.S.


Snowmass Village, CO (September, 2008) - While the recent political conventions may have been full of hot air, they can't hold a candle to theamount of hot air needed to launch all the balloons at the 2008 Snowmass Balloon Festival. This year's festival includes a visit from The Energizer BunnyR "Hot Hare," the tallest balloon in the U.S., which will be participating in morning events September 11 through September 14 and during the spectacular evening nightglow on Saturday night.

Larger - much larger - than life

Fifteen feet taller than the Statue of Liberty, the Hot Hare's ears alone are as big as George Washington's face on Mount Rushmore. And it would take about a dozen George Bushes to fill his size 98 EEEEE sandals.

The Energizer BunnyR is held together with 84 miles of thread. And if you were to fill the balloon with AA EnergizerR MaxR batteries, it would take quite a few - like 550 million. That's enough to power a portable CD player for everyone in the United States. It takes a lot of hot air to get the Hot"Hare" Balloon inflated. The balloon's double burners produce 30 million BTUs per hour-that's equal to the heat of 5,000 gas barbeque grills. A crew of as many as 20 people is required to prepare the huge HAREcraft before liftoff and after landing. Area residents and Energizer BunnyR enthusiasts from all over the country are recruited to volunteer as crew members each year.



The Snowmass Balloon Festival Schedule (Sept. 11-14)

Considered one of the highest balloon festivals in the nation, the Snowmass Balloon Festival sends nearly 30 balloons up in the space of a ballfield to participate in:

. The Hare & Hound Chase for media (Sept. 11) finds pilots and media chasing a Hare balloon around Snowmass for the chance to win the Hot Air Media Trophy.

. The Colorado Rat Race timed distance race (Sept. 12) spans the length of the Roaring Fork Valley as balloonists attempt to find the best currents and create their own rush hour out of Snowmass at the height of the morning commute down below.

. Dawn Quixote (Sept. 13) sends all balloons alight to joust with (and ultimately pop) tethered weather balloons, which are backdropped by the magnificent Elk mountains.

. Target Tubing (Sept. 14) presents the perfect reflective photo opportunity as hot air balloons "splash and dash" over the Snowmass Club Golf Course ponds while attempting to aim tennis balls into huge floating tubes.

. The Saturday Balloon Glow kicks off at 6 p.m. with a barbecue (all food under $8) and S'mores, a free concert by Americana artist Jeff Finlan, and when dusk arrives, the tethered balloons light up the night sky to twinkle on and off like enormous Christmas ornaments.


All weekend long, the Kids' Elevation Station is set up to entertain the kids with clowns, juggling, face painting, balloon-making, a house of bounce while breakfast vendors are on-hand on Saturday and Sunday as well..


ALL BALLOON EVENTS ARE FREE TO THE PUBLIC and launch between 7-8 a.m. from the Snowmass Village Softball fields each morning, while the Balloon Glow starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday night. For more information and a complete schedule, visit www.snowmassballoon.com or call 1-800-SNOWMASS.

LANCE ARMSTRONG HEADS TO SNOWMASS TO COMPETE IN INAUGERAL ENDURANCE RACE


Nearly 30 hot air balloons, a wine festival, and the 12 Hours of Snowmass offer the ultimate weekend getaway

 

Snowmass Village, CO (September 11, 2008) – As if this spectacular weekend in Snowmass wasn’t already superlative-heavy with the tallest balloon in America attending one of the highest altitude balloon festivals in the nation, Colorado’s newest endurance race reported that cycling legend Lance Armstrong will be among the racers at Snowmass this Sunday. 

Just days after announcing his return to professional cycling, seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong will compete as part of a three-person team in the 12 Hours of Snowmass. Dave Weins, who edged out Lance Armstrong to win this year's "Leadville 100" endurance bike race also has entered as part of a three-person team. Another top endurance biker, David "Tinker" Juarez, a two-time Olympian rider and gold medalist in the Pan American Games, has entered in the solo division, ensuring high-energy, fierce competitions in multiple divisions. 

“We thought this weekend couldn’t get any better, but we were wrong!” says Snowmass Village Marketing Director Susan Hamley. “We’re thrilled to welcome Lance Armstrong to Snowmass Village, and we’re all going to be out there rooting the teams on. This is an incredible fall weekend to head to Snowmass, with perfect weather for all these events on the way.”

The 12 Hours of Snowmass, which sends racers out onto the trails of Snowmass from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, September 14, is part of the prestigious Rocky Mountain Ultra Regional Endurance Series and benefits the Aspen Youth Center and Extreme Sports Camp. The event caps off an extraordinary mountain weekend that also includes three days of hot air balloon competitions over Snowmass. Nearly 30 balloons, including the tallest balloon in the U.S., the Energizer Bunny Hot Hare (think taller than the Statue of Liberty), take to the skies on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings. A special hot air balloon night glow, barbecue and concert with Americana artist Jeff Finlan starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday night as well. Also this weekend is the Snowmass Wine Festival, which kicks off with a Winemaker’s Dinner on Friday and fills the pedestrian Snowmass Mall with over 200 wines to sample, cuisine from regional chefs, a silent auction, and live music to benefit local valley nonprofits on Saturday.

For more information on the FREE Snowmass Balloon Festival and the Snowmass Wine Festival, visit www.snowmassballoon.com or call 1-800-SNOWMASS.

Your very own Snowmass luxury vacation rental, the newly remodeled and furnished Cottage at Fairway offers you the best of both Aspen and Snowmass. Minutes from the world class skiing at Two Creeks in Snowmass, the Cottage is just a generous, 10 minute drive on rural Owl Creek Road to Aspen’s tempting shops and restaurants. You have it all--relaxed, country living on a quiet, cul de sac, and everything you came to do at your fingertips.
Snowmass itself is getting a total upgrade. New this year is an 8-person gondola that takes you from the base village to Elk Camp and Café Suzanne in a speedy 8.5 minutes. Plans are on the drawing board to completely redesign the base village and lower market area. At the Cottage, you can literally cross country ski out your back door. In summer, enjoy golfing on the prestigious (and recently redone) Snowmass golf course, free concerts and fabulous hikes. Of course, there is Aspen’s treasure chest of offerings.
The contemporary, mountain décor of the Cottage, in fresh, soothing colors, will make you feel relaxed the moment you walk in the door. The high ceilings and big picture windows bring the outdoors in—views stretching past mature aspens and blue spruce in your garden, over the golf course clear out to Mt. Daly. The comfy furnishings, with throws over cushy couches, plumped bed pillows, and a gourmet kitchen—should you decide to cook at home--ease you into vacation mode.
The floor plan at the Cottage at Fairway is designed to create a sense of space or togetherness, depending on your needs. The open plan, living, kitchen, and dining area brings friends and family together. The large master is up a few stairs in a private nook. It has AC and the large bathroom has radiant floor heat, a walk-in shower and Jacuzzi tub. The two guest rooms on the lower level have full baths. An additional media room/library downstairs provides another “get-away.” There are flat screen TVs in every major room, including the kitchen, and an indoor and outdoor sound system. There is an attached two-car garage.
Whether you are tucked in front of the wood-burning fireplace watching the snowfall, or having breakfast on your deck in summer overlooking the golf course, you will truly feel you are at home, away from home.
