I drive for RFTA and didn't know how this looked and what the fuss was all about, as I do not ski or board...Very nice footage and thank you for just jumping straight into the video, Much appreciation!!
I know the feeling. I had to miss the 20/21 ski season due to the pandemic, and the emergency situation at work I had to stick around and deal with the whole time. Hopefully I can hit the slopes for the 21/22 ski season!
Очень круто ! 👍 Классно, трассы мечты Аспен мне понравился ! Хотелось бы когда-нибудь там катнуть ! Трассы широкие с хорошим уклоном вокруг красиво и живописно. У нас в России есть похожий по природе и трассам курорт Шерегеш в Сибири но все же там так легко не скатишся потому что много людей на трассе Удачи !
@thesteveterryproject9611 is correct. I start at almost the very top of Silver Bell, to skiers right of the Silver Queen Gondola. Then after a bit, cross under the gondola, followed by the Ajax Express. Then go down Pussyfoot. And finally, at 1:33 you see Bonnie's restaurant come into view, right above where Spar Gulch starts. Admittedly I had to take out a map to figure out the details. I'd have started filming a couple dozen yards up, at the very top, but an absolutely massive crowd was about to depart, so I hurried off to not get stuck behind them. Thanks for watching!
We just skied there today, had to stop like every 30 seconds to one minute. It was exhausting. I think I’ll try to go straight down like you just did next time. Great video
I was looking to do a long and smooth video. So I did my video run on their longest blue slope. They have plenty of steeps tucked away all over the place though. I've got myself skiing the steeps at various other ski resorts though. Though rarely anywhere near this fast. Thanks for watching!
Does the old Bell Mountain lift still run? Before the gondola came, that was the only way to the top. It took 3 hours to get from Little Nell to the Sundeck. Now it takes only 20 minutes.
I'd never skied Aspen Mountain before, and I'm not seeing it on the trail map. So unless they moved it elsewhere, and stuck a new name on it, I'd say no.
@@Vinny.X On an average crowded sunny Sunday, the line to get on took an hour to get through. At times there were over 500 people in that lift line, then another line of 500 people on "lift 3". You spent more time in lift lines than skiing. The gondola and high speed quads changed everything.
According to Wikipedia the longest run at Aspen Mountain is 3 miles. So looking at the trail map, and doing some rough napkin math...I might of skied for about 2.5 to 2.75 miles in the video.
Also, three other ski areas owed by the same company are nearby. Aspen Highlands, Aspen Buttermilk, and Aspen Snowmass. Makes for some great variety if you're ever in that area.
gar nicht schlecht, aber du solltest noch mehr snowtouch carving machen, schneeler und steiler in die kurven..more speed. more Zentrifugal und petal kräfte
Aspen Mountain and Aspen Highlands lack any beginner runs. I'd avoid them for now if I were you. Aspen Buttermilk is nearby and has plenty of beginner runs; and even the harder runs are not that bad at all. And Aspen Snowmass is a bit further out, has a few beginner runs available, but lots of crazy hard runs to be sure to avoid. I'd advise hiring a ski instructor for either, even if only for an hour, as they can help you find the right terrain for your ability level.
Have fun! I highly suggest booking ski lessons, especially if you haven't or don't do much skiing. Aspen and Vail are very advanced ski resorts and as well, if you aren't used to the altitude that'll effect your effort if not careful.
They have no green runs there. Which is fair because nothing there is easy. That being said, while I've seen resorts, like Big Sky or Jackson Hole, with more difficult runs, Aspen Mountain certainly ranks as pretty difficult with some of their steeper glade runs. FYI: In the video I'm pretty sure I was cruising down all blues. For sure the last two-thirds of the video.
No, but Aspen Mountain is owned by the same company that owns Aspen Snowmass, Aspen Highlands, and Aspen Buttermilk. All fairly close together off the same main road. Here's a direct link to Aspen Mountain: www.aspensnowmass.com/four-mountains/aspen-mountain Thanks for watching!
I'm doing a long, blue run so I can keep the POV nice and smooth, for a good while. Aspen has plenty of steeps scattered about all over. They'd involve me slowing down, and making lots of turns though. I have videos of me skiing steep runs at other ski resorts, like Jackson Hole. Thanks for watching!
