While Whiskey Ridge seems to hold favor with some Pitkin County Open Space and Trails board members, a name for what’s currently called the Droste open space has yet to be chosen.
A group of open space and conservation officials will meet Wednesday to begin brainstorming on how to pick a name for the scenic ridge, acquired last year by a consortium of local governments, along with funds from Great Outdoors Colorado and private contributions.
Ideas from the public will be welcome, according to Dale Will, county Open Space and Trails director.
On Wednesday, a committee consisting of representatives of the Aspen and Pitkin County open space boards, the Snowmass Trails Committee, an elected official from each of the three governments, and a representative of the Aspen Valley Land Trust is expected to map out a process to choose a name, ideally by this fall. The group will convene from 12:30-2 p.m. in the county commissioners’ Plaza One meeting room.
