Last winter, 2009 that is, Aspen Highlands Ski area celebrated it’s 5oth anniversary with an evening bash at
the mid mountain restaurant the Merry-go-Round. There was a equal mix of ski bum, ski patrol, and ski brass. A buffet, Champagne, wine, cocktails, and a Jamming band (Jes Crew). The attire was black tie & duct tape, which was adhered to in some since with some full on tux & tails ensembles as well as the duct tape enthusiasts (the creative crowd).
It all proved to be a very unique and entertaining experience. So why not do it again. This Saturday February 27, 2010 is the second “Black Tie & Duct Tape Ball at Aspen Highlands”. Aspen Ski Company employees can purchase tickets for $40, $65 for non-employees. Includes buffet dinner with prime rib and a glass or wine or beer/ Live band and dancing with Nite Plane. Upload Exhibition lift from 6-6:60pm downloading to begin at 9:30pm (no skiing down) Tickets available at any Aspen”Snowmass ticket office or by calliny (970)-544-3045
The bar was overwhelmed with it’s popularity last year, let’s hope they learned that lesson. Ski bums & patrol outweighed the brass 10 to 1 so it’s not your typical Aspen cocktail soirée but it is good to see the elbows rub. And hey, if your not gonna be wearing a tux you better have on some duct tape!
