Ski Report for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Here's the latest on what's happening at Aspen Snowmass as we head into early March.
The mountain is sitting with a solid 32-inch base at the moment, which is holding up reasonably well as we approach the tail end of February. Currently, 32 of 41 lifts are spinning, giving you plenty of options to explore across the four mountains. The good news is that a trace to an inch of snow fell overnight and continued through the morning, with forecasters calling for 2 to 4 inches by Thursday, so conditions should be improving as the week progresses.
Right now it's mostly sunny with temperatures hovering around 31 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit at the base and 15 to 17 degrees at the summit, with light winds around 4 miles per hour. It's one of those crisp, clear mountain days that makes you grateful to be outside. If you're heading up early in the day, the Nordic trails are experiencing classic freeze-thaw conditions, so the best cross-country skiing window is between 10 AM and noon before things get sloppy.
Looking ahead, the next few days will see some interesting weather patterns rolling through. Sunday looks like it'll bring snow showers, likely after noon, with temperatures dropping to the mid-30s. Monday stays partly sunny but gets breezy with gusts up to 40 miles per hour, so be prepared for some wind exposure on the ridge lines. Things get serious Tuesday and Wednesday when a significant weather system moves in, bringing heavy snow showers with 100 percent precipitation chances on Tuesday and continuing through Wednesday. New snow accumulation could reach around 1 inch over the next 48 hours, with the potential for more mid-week. This is the kind of system that could really refresh the snowpack and get you stoked about riding.
By Thursday, conditions should start clearing out with temperatures in the upper 20s. If you're flexible with your schedule, early next week is shaping up to be when you'll want to make your move for some of that fresh snow. The mountain is in decent shape right now, but patience might reward you with some truly excellent riding in the coming days as new snow blankets the terrain.
