There is a pair of ARMADA skis at the top of the Exhibition lift. They have been there for a number of days.
If they belong to a boot packer, please contact us and we can make arrangements to reunite you with your skis. Anyone that may have any insight into the owner of the skis, please email us at highlandspatrol@gmail.com.
Thank You
Greetings Boot Packers,
Tomorrow will most likely be the last boot packing day for this season. We have had an incredible turnout and we have disrupted the layers of the snow in most all the terrain within our ski area.
Thank you all for your hardwork.
We want to issue all of the vouchers you have earned. If you have not done so already, please email highlandspatrol@gmail.com to start the voucher request process.
Please include the following information:
Name….Date of Birth…..number of days that you boot packed ….and…..type of credit you prefer:
credit toward a season pass….

Boot packer credit can only be issued for one type of voucher to each boot packer.
Boot Packer credit is transferrable and may be issued to family and friends. If you want a voucher issued in the name of a family member or a friend….please include their NAME… DATE OF BIRTH…mailing address, phone number and email.

Greetings Boot Packers,
We will not be boot packing over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. We have had a great turnout of boot packers up to this point in Novemeber. Thanks to the hard work of all the boot packers, we are in good shape heading into the long weekend. A large portion of Highland Bowl has been packed, as well as most of Oly Bowl, No Name and Temerity. Sections of Steeplechase have also been packed.
We still have more areas to boot pack, and there is a storm forecast for Friday into Saturday. The storm may bring 5 to 10 inches of snow on the mountain.
The plan is to resume boot packing on Monday, November 27, 2023.
As far as the boot packing schedule for the rest of next week, as always, it will all depend on the amount snowfall and the amount of terrain ready to boot pack. We plan to continue boot packing Monday through Saturday, as long as there is work to done.
Thank you for all your effort,
The Aspen Highlands Snow Safety team
