The Bryce Maple Plaque (Aspen Mountain)

This plaque is on the wall at Bonnie's at Ajax.  It states:  "2005--Thirty Years of Skiing to Bonnie's--4,900,500 Vertical Feet--Bryce Maple."

Bryce worked at Bonnie's Restaurant under three different owners:  Gretl Uhl, Bonnie Rayburn, and Brigitte Birrfelder.  Bryce is the mother of Marlene Mickey who is the assistant manager at Bonnie's.  See this December 2015 Aspen Times article:  http://www.aspentimes.com/news/19825884-113/nourishing-and-legendary-experience-at-bonnies
