We thought it would be okay to put the hammock up in the backyard this weekend after Friday's snow storm. It was fairly nice, after all. But noooo.

The winter that won't leave has brought snowshowers once again to town and we're expecting one to three inches today with a high of 43.

Another chilly day in Aspen’s extended winter. While there was no snow falling at noon today, there was a cold gray sky hovering over the nearly empty town. If you like quiet mountain towns, you’re in luck this weekend, but watch out for the parking patrollers, who continue to show no mercy on broke locals.

It is a snowy spring day in Aspen. There were at least three wet inches on the ground at daybreak.

The streets were cleared of most inhabitants by a brisk wind and another two to four inches is in the forecast for this afternoon.

Mud season? We wish. As of 3:45, it was snowing heavily again in Aspen.

Last Saturday at Highlands was one of the busiest days of the year for the resort tucked up the Maroon Creek valley and lots of people were chatting this week about how good the skiing was.
So, you can expect another good turnout this weekend. The weather has been warm this week but temps have stayed below 60 degrees, so the snowpack at high should still be in pretty good shape.

    A chill and breezy afternoon in the old mining town today. It was apparantly a successful, and popular, weekend at Highlands with great upper mountain snow conditions and plenty of frivolity in the skimming pond at the base area.
    One more weekend to go for the Highlands!

    It was snowy night Wednesday in the valley and Aspen Highlands picked up another six inches of snow for good measure.

   So things are looking bright for the first post-season weekend slidefest at Highlands.

    Okay, we’re coming to terms. Kind of. The season has ended. The Aspen Mountain employee party was yesterday, which afforded some folks another bite at the apple. Today though, the gondola is still turning... but it is for employees to start breaking down the mountain for the season and preparing the mountain for spring run off.

We're still leading our charmed life here as the sun came out for Sunday, closing day, and is out again today. It is actually "hot" compared to what we've been shouldering through this chilly spring. It was a balmy 52 degrees yesterday in Aspen and should hit 63 (!) today.

Horoscopes

  • Aries
    • Working with others always takes talent, no matter how good you are at it. You might want to mobilize another's support. You discover that you cannot do a project or event alone. Welcome changes. Tonight: Say yes.

  • Taurus
    • Others dominate, and you feel that is OK. Knowing when to put a halt to a problem could be important. You might not be able to stop the project, but you can extricate yourself from the process. Someone might let you know how angry he or she is. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

  • Gemini
    • You make a point of doing something in a particular manner. Your ability to move a project forward or do something differently might be important to a partner. Right now, let this person ask. You will be happier. Tonight: Easy works.

  • Cancer
    • Your creativity flourishes under pressure. You enjoy what many cannot. Let humor, fun and happiness punctuate your day. A relationship warms up because of your enthusiasm and understanding. Tonight: Let the fun continue.

  • Leo
    • You want to understand what motivates others. Primary to this process is understanding what makes you tick. You could become argumentative out of the blue. Be smart: Walk away from a hot problem. Tonight: Easy does it.

  • Virgo
    • If you're wise, you will notice your building anger and decide to express it not as rage or frustration but as hurt. The sooner you express these fragile feelings, the better off you (and others) will be. Let your creativity sleuth through a problem. Tonight: Share your thoughts.

  • Libra
    • Take your time making a money decision. Someone might be pushing you very hard. You can take charge of a situation only after you understand the different options. Stay focused on the long-term goal. Tonight: Your treat.

  • Scorpio
    • You might be all smiles while handling an aggravating individual. You also might move away from this person. A discussion is animated and important. A positive approach goes far. Try it. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

  • Sagittarius
    • Slow down. You might need some private time to deal with a child or loved one. Others demand your presence, whether you are ready or not. Be willing to act on a problem rather than ignore it. Take an overview. Tonight: Vanish quickly.

  • Capricorn
    • You might be more serious than your norm. Relax and join a friend or two who extend an invitation. You can't say no any longer. Deal with someone directly on a one-on-one level to achieve the results you desire. Tonight: Where the party is.

  • Aquarius
    • Look toward a public appearance. If someone you care about is contentious, know that it is for a good reason. Work with a partner if he or she is open enough. You are vested in a certain outcome. This attitude could be a problem. Know when to let go. Tonight: A must appearance.

  • Pisces
    • Hop in the car and take a day off to relax. Where you explore, of course, is your decision. Refresh your energy and recharge your mind in a different environment. Understanding grows between you and a key person. Tonight: Let your imagination make the
