One of the pleasant surprises of Aspen has been how environmentally conscious the town is. The ski shuttles are hybrid buses, the lifts run on wind-generated electricity, and our condos voluntarily limit use of the wood burning fireplaces to reduce air pollution in the valley. The town itself is quite walkable, and with the above-mentioned hybrid buses, many people get around just fine without a car. Another sign on a lift tower appealed to the snow lovers’ more base instincts to slow global warming: “Winter is short enough already”.
