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.
