Not too early to think about skiing/riding

Skiers and riders will pay $25 to $70 more for the most popular season ski passes at the Aspen Skiing Co. resorts next winter, the company announced July 31.
As usual, the best deals can be scored by purchasing a pass before the “super early” deadline, which is Sept. 12 this year, the Skico said. And, as always, the best prices are available to buyers affiliated with a business that belongs to a chamber of commerce in the valley.
The 2008-09 season passes went on sale Monday, Aug. 4. All prices are listed in a direct mail piece sent to last season’s passholders. In addition, pass information will be posted at www.aspensnowmass.com/seasonpass
The passes are good at all four Skico ski areas. The scheduled season is from Nov. 27, 2008 through April 12, 2009, at Aspen Mountain and Snowmass. It is from Dec. 13 through April 5 at Buttermilk and Aspen Highlands.
