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

Greetings Boot Packers,

We will have boot packing tomorrow Saturday November 18, 2023.

There will not be boot packing on Monday November 20, 2023.

There will be boot packing on Tuesday November 21, 2023 and Wednesday November 22, 2023.

There will not be boot packing on Thanksgiving Day.

The schedule for days after Thanksgiving will be determined after this weekend. It will depend on two things. It depends on how much snow we get from the storm this weekend. It also depends how much terrain is left to boot pack after next Wednesday.

We will continue to post the boot packing schedule on this website as soon as the decisions are made.

Thank you for all of your help.
