Aspen/Snowmass, CO., October 15, 2007 - The legendary jam band Blues Traveler will kick off this season’s first Bud Light Hi-Fi Concert Series on Saturday, December 8.  The free performance will take place at the base of Aspen Mountain during the Aspen Winternational Audi FIS Women’s Alpine Ski World Cup races.

“A phenomenal act to kick off our season,” says John Rigney, Aspen Skiing Company Vice President of Sales and Events.  “Our Bud Light Hi-Fi Series continues to grow in popularity each year and Blues Traveler performing for free in Aspen/Snowmass will be an amazing experience for locals, destination guests and everyone celebrating the return of World Cup racing to Aspen.”

 

This year’s Women’s World Cup will feature both speed and technical races.  Power and finesse will be on display as Aspen’s first women’s downhill since 1988 takes place on Friday, December 7, followed by the super G on Saturday, December 8, and the slalom on Sunday, December 9. The races will be the focal point of a weekend packed with additional events including gondola plaza festivals, fireworks, music and parties.
