Description
Ski Report for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Hey shredders, Aspen's calling with that classic Colorado powder vibe right now! Base depths are sitting at a solid 53cm (about 21 inches), climbing to 76cm (30 inches) up top on Aspen Mountain, where snow's gripping nicely for carves. Recent dumps have piled on—over a foot this week across the four mountains, with 21-28 inches since Tuesday, and a fresh 4-5 inches yesterday keeping things plush. No massive 24/48-hour totals reported today, but yesterday's 5cm at both base and summit has the stashes talking.
Lift ops are strong: 6 of 8 spinning on Aspen Mountain (75% open), unlocking 94 of 103km trails (91% groomed and ready to rip). Pistes are gripping firm with fresh top layers—think hero snow after the storm—while off-piste varies with wind-scoured crusts mixing into powder pockets; cold temps are preserving the goods. Season total? Aspen's averaging 300 inches annually, and this winter's stacking up reliably.
Weather's crisp and prime for turns: currently around 10-16°F at base, sub-zero at summit under cloudy skies with light winds. Today clears to sunny highs near 30-33°F, perfect for laps. Forecast stays shred-friendly—sunny 40s Sunday-Monday (42-52°F), warming to low 50s Tuesday, then a tease of precip Wednesday (maybe 1-3 inches new snow mid-mountain) before cooling back. Nordic fans, 90km free trails are firing with fresh grooming on loops like High School and Owl Creek.
Heads up: Today's the sold-out Audi Power of Four Ski-Mo race—24 miles, 10k vert across all four mountains starting at Snowmass. Expect crowds and some course closures; valley runs are open, but plan around the action. No night skiing or halfpipe yet, but resorts run through mid-April. Dial in those edges, locals love these cold snaps—powder days await!
