Aspen Skiing Co. has had such success hosting weddings and special events at the Sundeck that they would like to use Ruthie’s Restaurant in a similar fashion.<\/p>\n

In December 2015, Skico gained approval from the Forest Service to install a new chondola (telemix) lift, change the lift alignment so that it unloads close to Ruthie’s Restaurant, build a gondola storage building next to Ruthie’s and get Ruthie’s running again.<\/p>\n

We are going to get a new lift.<\/p>\n

The Lift One corridor plan shows we can bring the lift lower. The developers’ threat to build their previous approvals is unlikely; they would no longer have ski-in, ski-out capability, making their property less desirable\/valuable.<\/p>\n

We can have a lift down to Dean Street, a ski museum and a reasonable sized development that provides adequate employee housing.<\/p>\n

If Lift One passes, Aspen’s quality of life suffers with more construction, more traffic and more people. The current Lift 1A will be out of commission for a minimum of two years with this plan.<\/p>\n
