Skied there in 1972. Ticket was the highest in the state, $9. Head Standards and leather buckle boots.

I loved skiing there, and the 'Back Bowls' of Vail. Those were truly magical times. Aspen had such a fabulous funky vibe then. I feel sorry for those too young to have not known what it was like then. How I would love to go back to those times, and start all over again.

Good times at Aspen Highlands, 1978. My buddy and I drove from MN in my Chev Nova. Stayed 5 nights and it snowed all day and night. We had deep powder down Steeplechase all 5 days. My first taste of powder skiing and still going strong at 65 yrs.

Worked there 79/80 with setting gates on the ski school slope. With Buzz & Jeff Smith, worked fixing skis at L'eQuippe for Jean PAul on Hyman Avenue Mall... Lived there for 3 years, a young Aussie having the time of his life

Boy we had long skis.... LOL So fun to see the familiar faces... worked in Marketing (at the stables office) 68-69

I LOVED teaching and skiing there!!!! I reminisce every single day!

That's skiing as I know it and still do it. Minus the jumping, moguls, steeps... Getting old sucks.

At Stein's invitation, Bob Cross and I were the first two guys on the lift opening day. We still have the press photo.

highlands was first place i skied in colorado, went for the winter, stayed 9 years :-)

Very nice turns, probably on 205s! Lots of memories there - my Vail friends and I would make the trek over every week for freestyle contests in the mid-70s (with real moguls back then!).

I skied there in 1973. I remember a super scary chairlift to the peak where you kind of dangled off the edge of the mountain. Also, they built a big jump near a swimming pool and skiers would fly off and do flips into the water while people cheered! What a great mountain!

I am an aging but still active ski pro. I skied Aspen Highlands backing the80;s, once. I'd like to ski it one more time.

Loved Barrymore ski films. Quite a contrast to Warren Miller's stuff with the corny and sometimes condescending narration. Having skied mostly in the Tahoe area in the 60's and 70's, I thought Aspen Highlands was more like Tahoe resorts vs. Snowmass, Aspen Mountain and Buttermilk (which is a fun little mountain as well). I taught at all four mountains the Winter of 1999-2000, mostly Snowmass and Aspen Mt, but on occasion had a private that wanted to ski Highlands. Great film illustrating that era.

Skied there season 79/80. Worked with housekeeping in Snowflake lodge. Seasonpass at Highlands. Best time ever.

Only skied there one day, but what a great place that had not been compromised by time. This was back in the late 80s. 18 inches of new snow over night over an ice base. Had to make very shallow turns to keep the speed up to plane on that snow. The stuff was so light, it was barely there!

Snowboarded (yes 😁) Ajax 2003. i was told to 'beat it' at the gondi base. Great mountain, oh yeah! Great day. Great mountain charismatic vibe too. Even him.

Got to just love those safety bars on the chair lift 😁. Well the late '60s and '70s was when I grow up skiing. The technical aspect of the sport has come a long way since then. And let's not even talk about the equipment.

I had epic days at Aspen Highlands season of 96-97 I wish I'd stayed in the Roaring Fork..

I went there in 1973. Thank god everyone there was of means! There used to be a line for folks to drive Bugatti Gayrons off the Super Splash into a giant pool where there was a giant metal sweeper like a bowling machine that collected them.

Closing party is epic

"Along with man's favorite sport, girl watching" *cuts to montage of cute girls*

Ya aspen was pretty special.

skied there in 71

Does anyone remember the name of the Grateful Dead cover band playing apres ski ca 1971?

Should I go skiing today?

this sounds a lot like an old Warren miller film

HEAD 720 ;-)

5 towers. Epic

Like the emphasis on the women and the wine!

Ahh.. the view of ski slopes that don't have scraped out moguls caused by snowboarders.

Skinny Skis eh!

No safety bars on the chair lifts back th err n!

Where are their knees now...

Wonderful. Beautiful. And no &^%$#@* hipsters !

Before GLM...

I heard there is extensive gang activity there now.

back when long skis carved moguls so massive you could link turns on one. six day lift ticket was $77 but coke was more more expensive. go figure
