Ski areas across North America (and of course the entire northern hemisphere) are winding down their 24-25 seasons, many throwing spring fun festivities to end on a high.
Lots of these involve music, pond skimming and similar, but Buttermilk, the first of the four Aspen Snowmass ski areas in Colorado to end their seasons, today, 6 April, has always done things a little differently with their annual Bacon Appreciation Day.
Skiers and riders can start the day in just a few hours' time with bacon doughnuts from the plaza before exploring the mountain in search of more 'bacon samplers' available for the day from lodges, bars and restaurants.
During the last day of the season visitors should make sure to stop by the Cliffhouse, Buttermilk Mountain Lodge and its après spot, The Backyard, for bacon specials, DJ sets and drinks to celebrate.
