Aspen at night

(you know you're a local when you call it Ajax and Buttermilk)
Is there another name for Buttermilk? (I have skied all the Aspen
areas but it was years ago)
And, where is the localizer antenna? I have a vague recollection of a
structure extending across the top of the ski run "Buckhorn", almost
blocking it (i.e. you had to ski around it to get to the run). Is that
it? (trail map:

Yes, John, that's where the localizer is.
It's maybe 16 ruggedized VHF Yagis over a big metal-mesh groundplane.
The first time I saw it from a distance, I thought it might be
some sort of a picnic platform!
Buttermilk = Tiehack, maybe?
Isn't that just a bus stop between the airport and Highlands? :-)
Did you ever eat at Krabloonik on the west slope of Snowmass?
Mmmmm!
