The Aspen Skiing Company just announced that the Aspen Highlands ski season has been extended for one week - the mountain will close on April 8 instead of the scheduled April 1 closure. “Highland Bowl has the best skiing in the state, if not the country, right now,” said Rich Burkley, vice president, mountain operations, Aspen Skiing Company. “Combine that with strong occupancy forecasts and no immediate need for lift or trail work on the mountain this spring, and it seems everything is lined up for this extension.

Buttermilk Mountain will close on April 1 as previously scheduled.
