A proposed lift on Aspen Mountain would add more expert terrain and tree skiing.

Aspen Skiing Co. views its proposed expansion into the Pandora terrain on Aspen Mountain as a way to expand the ski area’s appeal to upper intermediate and expert skiers.
The expansion onto about 153 acres on the upper east side of the ski area would add popular tree skiing on about half of the new terrain, according to an application Skico submitted to the U.S. Forest Service. The other half of the terrain would feature traditional ski trails but with interspersed tree clusters.
Skico’s application said Aspen Mountain lacks extensive tree skiing. Only half of the existing expert terrain on Aspen Mountain is considered gladed, with trees providing a more natural feel. Most of the trails are fully cleared.
