My wife and I were there July of 2009, We enjoyed the view and very clean and very well maintained cabins. The service was outstanding and they took very good care of us, so much so we will be returning in 2010. Thanks for for good work and see you next year!
Today is a perfect Spring Day in Aspen/Snowmass with 6 inches of fresh snow falling in the past 24 hrs. and sunny, bluebird skies. With a foot and a half of snow falling the past week, skiing/riding conditions are excellent.
Thanks to Frank Shine for the awesome photo!

Just after midnight, on March 8, a large rockfall incident hit I-70 in Glenwood Canyon, near mile marker 125 just west of Hanging Lake Tunnel. The clean up continues and as of March 12, one lane in each direction of I-70 is now open to traffic at Glenwood (mm 116) and at Dotsero (mm 133).
It is estimated that this slide brought 20 boulders onto the interstate, ranging in size from 3 feet to10 feet in diameter. The largest is estimated to weigh about 66 tons. The rocks have made holes in the elevated sections of roadway-the largest being in the westbound lanes (closest to the hillside) and measuring 20 feet by 10 feet. Another hole in the lower eastbound lanes measures 6 feet by 6 feet. There are a half a dozen other holes and "dips" in the roadway, as well as areas where rocks are embedded. Most of these repair areas appear to be approximately 5 feet by 5 feet. Rocks are scattered over 100 yards of roadway. Also damaged are three sections (about 120 linear feet) of steel guard rail and 100 linear feet of median barrier. The damage is similar to that resulting from the 2004 rockfall incident.
ALTERNATE ROUTES:
From westbound I-70: exit at US 40/Empire to State Highway 13 and back to I-70; exit in Silverthorne and take State Highway 9 to US 40 and State Highway 13; exit at Wolcott/State Highway 131 to US 40 and State Highway 13.
From eastbound I-70: exit at Rifle/State Highway 13 to US 40 and back to I-70. Travelers may also wish to use US highways 160, 285 and 50 if traveling to destinations south.
