Mysterious Aspen ski rental contract may relate to Trumps
The U.S. Secret Service signed a contract last week for more than $12,000 with the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club for rental ski equipment and clothing, according to a federal government website.
However, the club doesn't rent ski equipment and the club's director said Friday he knew nothing of the contract.
"I see all the checks that come through here and I certainly didn't see one from the Secret Service," said Mark Godomsky, AVSC executive director. "For me, this is entirely out of the blue."
The $12,208.25 contract was signed March 10 and is good through March 23, according to the Federal Procurement Data System website. The contract is for "lease or rental of equipment, clothing, individual equipment and insignia," according to the website.
The contract might be related to a visit to Aspen this weekend by three of President Donald Trump's children — Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump — and their families. The large contingent of Trumps is scheduled to arrive in town later today or early Sunday, according to law enforcement sources who requested anonymity.

Mystery as Secret Service deny they paid $12,000 to Aspen ski resort ahead of Trump children's visit despite it showing up on federal website
Secret Service has denied paying $12,000 to an Aspen ski resort ahead of Trump children's visit, despite a telling contract showing up on a federal website.
As the three eldest Trump children head to Aspen, Colorado, for a vacation on the slopes, it was revealed that Secret Service signed a $12,208 contract for 'rental ski equipment and clothing' on March 10, according to the Federal Procurement Data System website.
The Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club said it doesn't rent ski equipment and its director said he knew nothing of the contract, similar to Joseph Casey, a Secret Service spokesman, who also denied knowing about the contract on Friday.
Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump are set to arrive in Aspen over the weekend with their families, along with an estimated 100 Secret Service agents to look after the first family.
A law enforcement officer speculated that the rental equipment would be used by Secret Service agents who are protecting the Trumps while they are skiing.
