With fall comes the hunting season, and the newspapers are replete with dates reminding locals of the opening and closing of each season, including fishing, turkey, elk, deer, bear, rabbit. , pheasant, quail and big-horned sheep. There were also lots of listings for guides, private ranches, and places to rent.
In the October 21, 1960 Aspen Times, an advertisement was placed by Loey Ringquist for his ranch up to Brush Creek in what is now a Snowmass Village neighborhood: racing the game – jeep and truck.
