Spring is officially here – but it sure doesn’t feel like it. Recent storms dropped up to 12 inches of moisture-laden snow on Aspen Mountain overnight (snow stake pictured above) topping off a powder-filled week. With the snowpack on Aspen Mountain sitting at 123% of average for the season and no end in sight to the low-pressure systems and below-average temperatures, it looks much more like mid-January than late March. For those of you not refreshing the snow report and staring at mountain cams, summer is right around the corner and prime vacation rental inventory is starting to dwindle.
The past few months have seen unprecedented demand for rentals, both winter and summer, despite a slowdown in overall real estate transactions and financial turbulence in the greater economy. Several landlords recently entrusted me with their investment properties offering more options than ever in the heart of downtown Aspen to take advantage of everything the area has lined up for an action-packed summer.
Jazz Aspen Snowmass Announces Amazing Lineup
One of the most exciting happenings this summer is sure to be the Foo Fighters headline performance at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience September 1 – 3, 2023. The Foo Fighters are one of the most popular and enduring rock bands of the last two decades, and their upcoming summer tour promises to be one of the biggest events on the live music calendar. With a string of hits like “Everlong,” “Learn to Fly,” and “My Hero,” the band has built up a massive following of fans around the world and are a personal favorite.
The tour will see the Foo Fighters perform in some of the biggest and most prestigious venues in North America and Europe. Their JAS show promises to be an unforgettable experience for anyone lucky enough to attend. This iconic event has been running since 1991 and has played host to some of the biggest names in music, from Stevie Wonder and Bob Dylan to Sting and Lenny Kravitz to name a few. The Foo Fighters’ appearance – along with The Lumineers, Old Dominion, Billy Idol, Grace Potter, and more – is a major coup for the festival and is sure to be a highlight of the summer.
