Whip Jones
Whip has become a legend in Colorado as the builder and owner of Aspen Highlands, one of the four great ski areas of Aspen. When the area opened in 1958, it had three lifts, including the world’s longest single section double chairlift. In 1992, after the longest continuous ownership of any ski area in Colorado, he donated the Highlands stock to his alma mater, Harvard University. It was later bought by Aspen Skiing Company.
