If you're not here now - get on a plane, get in your car, on a horse, yeti, whatever you can find! The Skiing is Incredible!



With over 3 feet dropping last weekend and another 2 1/2, soon to be 3-4' this weekend, the skiing is AWESOME! For those who love deep powder and face shot after face shot Aspen/Snowmass is the place to be! For those who love fresh packed powder, nicely groomed with a touch of fresh white stuff on top, Aspen/Snowmass is the place to be! It's all here, and with Highlands and Buttermilk opening tomorrow there will be skiing for everyone!

This pic above is from last weekend at Aspen (Ajax) Mtn


The snow did unfortunately cancel the Womens Downhill today, which is rescheduled for tomorrow, although I bet if you were to get it out of the racers, they didn't mind a powder day!

The schedule for events is now:

Saturday 12/8 - Downhill - 10:45 start. On Aspen Mtn.
Sunday 12/9 - Slalom - 10am and 1pm starts. On Aspen Mtn.

So what are you waiting for - book your trip as more snow is in the forecast. Call Ski Butlers and we'll meet you right at your hotel, condo, van, wherever you are staying, and fit you right there! We bring all the equipment you need, including extra boots for that perfect fit, so that you can hit the slopes ASAP! Then when you have to head back to the real world and are thoroughly exhausted from the amazing skiing Ski Butlers will be there to pick up your equipment. No hassle at all! You are here to ski, not worry about where to go to pick up your equipment or where to return it.


Here is a picture of the skiing today, Ski Butlers got to sneak out for a couple hours this morning - to test ski's of course! The picture is a little weak, all we had was a camera phone!

We look forward to seeing you soon! Remember 7-day advanced online rentals gets 10% off - but if you'd rather call me I bet I can still work a deal!!!! Please check out our redesigned website: www.skibutlers.com
