Conquering a clogged toilet and equally clogged bus, we made it to Aspen Highlands for another day of boarding and skiing. The crowd from the bus dispersed, not to be seen again the whole day. In fact, on the first couple of lift rides, we were still seeing barely touched corduroy below.
Those groomed blues were fast and fun; nothing to do but lean from edge to edge and smile ear to ear. The diamonds were all bumped out, so I passed on those as well as the hike-to terrain in the Highland Bowl, where some more intrepid members of the group dropped in.
Being a narrow mountain made it easier to catch up with people throughout the day, and the lift crew on Cloud 9 treated us to some good tunes each run. Apres ski was at the J Bar in the Hotel Jerome, a wonderfully appointed hotel dating to the 1880’s. Back at the condo, we had a belated wine and cheese welcome party, which turned out to feature a nice spread of food and full bar!

appointed == anointed?
What kind of cheese did you serve that required a toilet plunger?

That low-flow toilet was no match for the cheese and pepper stuffed elk sausage from the day before.
