Aspen Resorts

Colorado’s Aspen Resorts have successfully used B20 in their fleet of 30 sno-cats since 2001.  According to Vehicle Manager Don Mushet, “B20 has worked very well for us and we have been problem-free throughout the long, cold Colorado winters.”

Each year, Aspen Resorts hosts the ESPN Winter X Games, the world’s signature action sports event which includes skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and more.  Mushet explains that the pressure is really on during the X Games to keep the mountain in tip top shape.

“We’ve got a short amount of time between events, making the grooming schedule extremely tight,” said Mushet.  “That, combined with the fact that the Games are broadcast live on ESPN, means we need to be able to count on our snow grooming equipment no matter how cold or what the weather.  Biodiesel has been great and everything has run very smoothly.”  Check out the Cold Weather Guide for information about biodiesel use in cold weather.
