Sanctuaries in the Snow

The Barkley Shrine (Snowmass)


Notice:  During the 2016-17 ski season 5 Shrines on Snowmass were destroyed. However, during this same time period no Shrines on any of the other 3 mountains were destroyed (with the minor exception of the Shrine to Donald Trump which was put up on Aspen Mountain in February 2017 and lasted only a week or so before someone tore it out).  The 5 Shrines destroyed on Snowmass were:  1.  The Barkley Shrine; 2.  The Black Lab Shrine; 3.  The Golf Shrine; 4. The Max Shrine; and 5.  The Mazik Shrine.  With the exception of the Golf Shrine, all of these Shrines were located on the (skier's) right side of the Naked Lady run.
