Ski Report for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Hey shredders, Aspen's calling with that classic Colorado vibe—think crisp turns and epic views across its four mountains, even if Mother Nature's been a bit stingy on fresh powder lately. As of January 19, the snow report from Aspen Mountain shows a solid **48 cm (19 inches) at the summit (3418m)** and **33 cm (13 inches) at the base (2422m)**, mostly artificial snow keeping things groomed and grippy. No new snowfall in the last 24 or 48 hours—last dump was January 9—but **91% of slopes (94/103 km)** are open, with **7 of 9 lifts spinning (78%)**, including the valley run for those sweet laps back to town. Pistes are firm from the groomers, ideal for carving, but off-piste is variable—watch for wind crust or icy patches, and stick to patrolled zones unless you're geared up with avalanche kit.
Right now, temps are chilly but prime for skiing: around **37°F (3°C)** at the airport with clear skies and a gentle breeze, feeling very cold up high. Season total? Aspen Snowmass averages **290 inches annually**, but this winter's been lean so far—no exact tally yet, though the base holds steady.
Looking ahead, the next five days stay mostly dry and sunny—perfect for bluebird pow chasing what little there is. Expect **Tue: clear, highs 37-39°F (3-4°C), lows 19-21°F (-7°C)**; **Wed: cloudy, 40-41°F (4-5°C), lows 22°F (-6°C)**; **Thu: cloudy, 40-42°F (4-6°C), lows 24°F (-4°C)**; **Fri: possible trace snow, 35-39°F (2-4°C)**; **Sat: 1-2 cm new snow chance at summit, cooler 31°F (-1°C), lows 17-20°F (-8°C)**. Snow line dips Saturday, so fingers crossed for a refresh.
Pro tip from us locals: hit Aspen Mountain for glitter runs or Snowmass for family vibes—season runs through April 19. No night skiing or halfpipe right now, but check the snow phone at +1-970-925-1221 for real-time updates. Bundle up, respect the terrain, and let's make fresh tracks!
