Ratatat
Electronic duo, Ratatat, kicks of this weekend’s Bud Light Spring Jam with the last FREE Bud Light Hi-Fi Concert of the season, at the base of Aspen Mountain at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 27.
Red Bull Schnee Tag
The following day, Saturday, March 28 is Red Bull Schnee Tag, arguably Spring Jam’s most entertaining event. Schnee Tag invites teams of four to pilot a craft down Fanny Hill in Snowmass and into a 75×20 foot pond. Needless to say this event is hilarious. And the prizes aren’t bad either. The winning team will receive a free VIP trip to a NASCAR race courtesy of Red Bull.
Helly Hansen Battle in the Bowls
On Sunday, March 29, is the second annual Helly Hansen Battle in the Bowls, where teams of two will compete against other teams to ski the many bowls of Aspen Highlands in under four hours. Even more thrilling that the terrain itself, athletes will have a chance to race against Chris Davenport’s team on the course he designed. This event is open to all ages and new this year is an amateur category for those less competitive.

“SkiCo is not releasing the name of the man, whose injuries were serious enough to have him flown to St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction. Hanle said the man “used to live here and doesn’t anymore,” and his friends, who are not local either, were shaken up by the accident and went with him to Grand Junction.
Because they were dealing with the accident, patrollers had not yet interviewed the man’s friends about what might have happened. They’re also examining tracks in the area, which is skier’s left of the intermediate Grey Wolf run.
Asked if someone might have reason to mistake the area for being open, Hanle replied, \’No. There are closed signs all the way down the skier’s left side of Grey Wolf.”‘
