  ASPEN SQUARE IS PRIMED FOR WINTER!

     November is an anticipatory month – it starts out fall-ish and morphs very gradually into a winter month by the time Thanksgiving arrives and ski season opens. Although it usually snows around Halloween, it’s really only in November that snow starts to accumulate at higher elevations. And everyone watches that accumulation very carefully. Town feels like it’s holding its collective breath for winter to start, while hotels are buffing up their properties in advance of ski season’s launch.
