Hello.
I am a big fan of Aspen and will be there from February 27 - March 4. I've never skied Highlands Bowl - always been worried about the hike. Any tips from veterans? I'm an expert skier, but not in the best shape so I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the hike.
Also, I've heard that the ski patrol can sometimes be persuaded to hike up with skiers and sort of serve as a guide. Has anyone done this? I'm the most advanced skier in my group and I certainly wouldn't hike the Bowl alone. I need to find someone to go with me - either a ski patroller or a sympathetic local.
