Another holiday season is upon us, and here in Aspen, Thanksgiving Day means many things. It marks the opening of the ski season for Aspen Mountain as it opens to the public and hosts the FIS Women’s World Cup Race. This is the first breath of life into town as visitors and seasonal workers arrive.
Most Aspen restaurants begin to awaken from their off season hibernation and many host Thanksgiving Day Dinners on Thursday, November 25th 2010.
