Aspen Skiing Company is putting their redevelopment plans for the Buttermilk base area on hold since they discovered that the state owns a 60 foot-wide strip of land between the parking lot, which is owned by Pitkin County, and the ski area's property. SkiCo's master plan involves building a permanent home for their Powder Pandas childrens' ski school and a new base lodge. [Aspen Daily News]
