Summit For Life 07Santa came a little early to the Elk Mountains. His gift, 35" of new snow in the past 48 hours. Both Aspen Mountain and Snowmass are skiing to perfection. And for sure there was thigh deep snow in places on both mountains this weekend. Skied Snowmass yesterday with the family then hiked Aspen Mountain last night for Chris Klug's annual Summit for Life event. It was amazing and there were some strong and fast people hiking last night. Chris is the first athlete ever to win an Olympic medal after successful organ transplant surgery. Now he has movtivated his home town heros to rally around organ and tissue donation and raised well over $20,000 last night. The icing on the cake...21" of fresh snow this morning. That's the kind of weekend that gets your heart pumping and your legs moving for the start of ski season!
