Aspen Mountain will be open to skiers and snowboarders this weekend, according to Jeff Hanle, spokesman for the Aspen Skiing Co.
“Yes, we are going skiing,” Hanle said, though he could not confirm the details.
The Skico previously indicated it would consider opening the mountain this weekend, which coincides with the Aspen Food & Wine Magazine Classic.
It's unusual but not unprecedented to have skiing on Ajax mountain this late in the season, after Independence Pass already has opened for the summer.
But highway crews only last week re-opened the 12,093-foot pass after a particularly snowy winter.
Arapahoe Basin, which boasts the state's longest ski season, closed on Sunday.
This story will be updated.
