Deep Temerity


The Jan 1 NYT has a little article about Aspen Highlands for anyone who wants to read about the Deep Temerity lift. It services terrain with a 53 degree pitch, which is pretty freaking terrifying. To put it into perspective, the run Warm Springs at Sun Valley, a pretty steep blue by anyone's standards is about 35 degrees at the top. At most mountains that would not be an intermediate offering.
