Aspen To Improve Cell Phone Signals On The Slopes

Aspen Ski Company announced plans today to improve cell phone signals on its slopes. The company said it will install new cell towers and repeaters throughout the resort in order to provide better coverage for skiers and snowboarders.

"We know that our guests rely on their cell phones for everything from making calls to checking the weather," said Aspen Ski Company CEO Mike Kaplan. "We're committed to providing them with the best possible experience, and that includes making sure they have reliable cell service."

Mak Keeling, Aspen's vice president of mountain planning and development, emphasized that the move was not exclusively about profits. “Providing cell coverage for public safety reasons was more important,” 

The company said it will begin installing the new cell towers and repeaters in the fall. The project is expected to be completed by the start of the 2024 ski season.

The improvement of cell phone signals on the slopes is a welcome development for skiers and snowboarders. Currently, cell phone service can be spotty at best in some areas of the resort. This can be a problem for skiers and snowboarders who need to make calls for emergencies or to stay in touch with friends and family.

The improvement of cell phone signals is also a boon for businesses in the Aspen area. Many businesses rely on cell phones to process payments, take orders, and communicate with customers. The improvement of cell phone signals will make it easier for these businesses to operate and will attract more customers to the area.

Aspen Ski Company's plan to improve cell phone signals is a major investment in the future of the resort. The company is committed to providing its guests with the best possible experience, and this investment is a step in the right direction.

In addition to installing new cell towers and repeaters, Aspen Ski Company is also working with cell phone carriers to improve the signal strength in areas where it is currently weak. The company is also exploring the possibility of using small cell technology to improve coverage in congested areas.

Aspen Ski Company's plan to improve cell phone signals is expected to cost several million dollars. However, the company believes that the investment is worth it in order to provide its guests with the best possible experience.
