    Figure H - 2008 State of Aspen Area Report Re: Existing Conditions for ABC Area AABC/BUTTERMILK/AIRPORT SUB-AREA Natural Environment Wildlife Habitat. A very small portion of the neighborhood (on the northwest corner of the Airport Ranch property) contains Elk winter range habitat. With the exception of the Airport Ranch and areas immediately adjacent to the Roaring Fork River, critical wildlife habitat is not signifi cantly mapped in this area. Vegetation/Wildfi re Hazard. The steeper portions of West Buttermilk, the Airport Ranch and the Harvey properties are mapped as having a severe wildfi re hazard. The remainder of the neighborhood is mapped as a low wildfi re hazard area. Visual Quality. The area, while developed, has a somewhat open feel due to uses like the airport, Buttermilk Ski Area and Maroon Creek Club Golf Course. Though additional development may occur at the airport and the Buttermilk Ski Area, these properties will continue to provide de facto open space within the area. Additional development of vacant land in the area of the Burlingame Ranch Affordable Housing and Double Bar X Ranch projects will be occurring over the next several years or more, and this may change the visual character in the southern portion of the area, particularly as viewed from the north-bound lanes of the Maroon Creek Bridge and the Aspen Municipal Golf Course. There are views of the Ajax, Highlands and Buttermilk Ski areas from various locations within the area as well as views of Red Mountain and Smuggler Mountain. Virtually the entire area is included within the mapped Scenic View Protection area.

  • Aspen Snowmass 20-21 Chamber Letter
    October 6, 2020 Dear Business Owner/Manager, As another ski season approaches, it is time to roll out our Chamber Pass Program for the 2020-21 season. As I am sure most of you have heard by now, we made some significant changes to our pass program this year. As you all know, this season will be like nothing we have seen before and it is going to take all of us working together to keep the season alive through April. The new Valley Weekday Pass offers great value for those with flexible schedules, and the Valley 7-Pack is the perfect option for the occasional skiers and riders. Combining those two products provides tremendous value and flexibility. The Chamber Premier Pass is also available, and for the second year, it includes a complimentary Ikon Base Pass. While our ticket offices remain open, we have introduced new technology to allow you to complete your Chamber Pass purchase without visiting a ticket office. Use this link to complete an online order form. Instructions for providing payment for online purchases are included on the order form. The attached guidelines should be helpful in planning your winter, but as always do not hesitate to go onto aspensnowmass.com for more information or to call us at 877-872- 7702. We appreciate your continued support of this discount program.

  • Aspen Skiing Co. Vs Aspen Highlands Skiing Corp
    Arash Etemad presents The 1985 Supreme Court Case of ASPEN SKIING CO. v. ASPEN HIGHLANDS SKIING CORP Background • Aspen Skiing Co. owned one of four major ski resorts in Aspen, Colorado; Aspen Highlands Skiing Corp. owned the other three • In 1979, Aspen Skiing Co. filed a treble-damages action in Federal District Court alleging Aspen Highlands Skiing Corp. had monopolized the downhill skiing market in Aspen and was in violation of §2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act • In 1985, the case was taken to the Supreme Court Sherman Antitrust Act §2 Monopolizing trade a felony; penalty Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $10,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $350,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding three years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court. The Good Times (Oligopoly) • Prior to 1977, there were only three major ski resorts in Aspen, all of which were independently owned • Each competitor offered its own daily and half-day ski passes, as well as a 6 day All- Aspen ticket • The All-Aspen ticket was a booklet containing six coupons, each redeemable at any of the three resorts. The coupons were voided if not used within six days of purchase, and were sold at a considerable discount to buying a separate lift ticket each day • Initially, the revenue from the sale of the coupons was distributed at the end of the year in accordance with the number of coupons collected at each resort • Later this policy was changed so that revenue was distributed based on a system of random-sample surveys that attempted to determine the percentage of All-Aspen pass users that would visit each resort And the Bad Times (Aggressive market share seeking) • In 1977, Aspen Highlands Skiing Corp.
