I recommend contacting Aspen's Chamber of Commerce for additional information.
The route in question runs from the end of Castle Creek Road over Pearl Pass
and down into Crested Butte.  It's a standard cross-country skiing trek.  I
believe there's a hut along the route that can be reserved/rented for a night.
It's privately owned and has a wood stove and a supply of firewood.  When I
climbed Castle Peak years ago, I remember walking past it.

I think the route's about 30 miles long.  Pearl Pass is just to the left of
Castle Peak.  Friends of mine in Aspen did the trail on mountain bikes last
year.  Several years ago, a cross country skier died in that area when she
and her dog got caught in an avalanche.

Don't go if you've got weak leg joints.  Last winter, my friends who biked it
earlier went back again on skis.  One of them had to be evacuated by mountain
rescue when he dislocated his knee.  Quite an ordeal.

Well I don't know about the rest of us college students, but we don't get
a break in February.  For many of us it comes in March.  So you definitely
won't get the spring break crowds in February.  Sounds like a great time to

Just off the top of my head I think you need 800-1000m vertical for a men's
downhill, which is the biggest in terms of hill space.  There are also
other requirements in terms of length and slope.  I'd suggest getting the
details directly from the FIS.  You would need separate approval for each
run and it would depend on exactly where you set up the start and finish.

Kim,

I was at Killington this past weekend (I gots me the cool "Nov 07" tag)
and they had 4 chairs open with maybe 8 runs open.  They'll tell you
that they had like 16, but in reality, it was only 8.  Heavy,
obviously, but still awesome to hit the slopes.  They're charging $30.

Okemo will be open for $25, and today they had 4 chairs and 13 runs
open.  Tonight, wed nite, will be warm, but thurs and fri they will be
blowing.

take your pick, Superstar was CROWDED!  Man, on that run I helped ski
patrol take down a guy who got pushed off a big mogul (i'm an EMT).  He
broke his leg for sure and probably his back.  Uncool.

Try the Mountain Lodge.

We stayed there last year and found it very nice and *VERY* convienent
to the slopes, lifts, restaurants, etc.

As far as the weather, it *appears* to be shaping up for a good season.
They are already getting some snow and the weather channel is predicting
freezing temperatures for at least the next few days.  Snowshoe has
always managed to be "open" by mid November and are usually doing well
by mid December (IE all slopes open).  Happy skiing !

The ski club here at Rice is planning a trip to Winter Park over this years spring break.

I was wondring if anyone could tell me what they knew about the terrain there.  Specifically,
I am interested in finding out if there are any parts of the mountain that would be more 
entertaining than others for competent skiers.  Are there any lifts that offer better skiing 
than most but have shorter lines?  Are there any runs in particular that I should make sure I
ski?

Also, I've heard that Winter Park has some excellent but somewhat well hidden runs through the
trees that are not on the trail map, particularly in the area between Winter Park and Mary
Jane.  Rumor has it that they are some of the best terrain on the mountain, that is if you can 
find them.  I realize that I may be prying into local knowledge here, but I would greatly
appreciate it if anyone could tell me more specifically where I might look to find these 
types of trails.  

And hey, don't worry, I'm not really from Texas, I just go to school here.....

Yes, Crested Butte is offering free skiing until December 18th.
Apparently the town (and the buisnesses) make enough extra money
from the people who otherwise wouldn't be there that they are 
willing to help pay for the costs of running the lifts.
I believe that lessons for beginners are free during this time
as well.

Seems like a good deal to me.   ;)

Well I called up Colorado Ski Country (Thanks Steve) and there IS such a thing
as a Colorado Pass. Its $2200.00 and is good at all Co ski areas. You DON'T
have to be a resident to buy one. $2200.00 is kind of steep for the amount of
skiing I'll be doing (I figure I'd have to get in about 65 days skiing at an
avg price of $35 per ticket to make it worthwhile). I probably avg 35-45 days
skiing a year so I think I'll stick with regular discounts available at grocery
stores and stuff.

Kind of strange that the pattern went from south to north.

The best deals on skis, IMO, are at Colorado Ski and Golf in Aurora. Jerome's
got the lowest prices and best service around.
