AVSC Athlete of the Week: Oliver Bacharach

Sharky
This week's Aspen Valley Ski Club's (AVSC) Athlete of the Week is Oliver "Sharky" Bacharach. Bacharach won gold in the 14-15 year old Youth Men age category at this year's USASA Nationals Snowboard Competition at Copper Mountain this past week. According to on the scene report Bacharach "killed it in half pipe dropping a backside air, to back to back nines followed by a frontfive and alleyoop rodeo" for the win. Bacharach beat out 79 other competitors from around the country for the top spot on the podium. Oh, and you might have heard of his singer-songwriter dad (Burt Bacharach.) Congratulations Oliver!

Aspen Highlands Extends its Season

Highland Bowl
Aspen Skiing Company announced that, in an effort to thank the community for a great season, Highlands will remain open four additional days -- April 19, 20, 26, 27. With more than 120 inches in Highlands Bowl and nearly 100 inches midmountain, this winter seems like a gift that keeps on giving.

Hop on the Exhibition, Loge, and Deep Temerity lifts and enjoy skiing and riding from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and don't forget to make a pit stop at the on-mountain eatery Merry-Go-Round, which will be serving up some tasty barbecue and beverages.

What does the extension mean for the infamous closing day bash? Well fret not party people as the vintage ski gear festivities are on as scheduled, April 6.

Thank you Ski Co. and see you on the slopes!
