Pajarito Mountain News:

Pajarito Mountain announced today that it is opening up the Townsight lift on Saturday, and with today’s storm, expects to open 100% of its terrain.

The Townsight lift has not run in many years. The lift accesses blue and green trails, and can be reached via the Aspen lift on East Road.

“I’m incredibly grateful to the hard work the Pajarito team has put into getting Townsight ready to go for this winter. This lift accesses some great terrain and it’s exciting to have it run, especially with all the powder on the way,” Pajarito General Manager Jasen Bellomy said. “In addition, we plan to have 100% of our terrain open this weekend, and we can’t wait to welcome guests to experience the whole mountain.”

Pajarito encourages guests to purchase lift tickets, rentals and lessons online at www.pajarito.ski.
