# Aspen Snowmass Ski Report: Fresh Powder Alert!
If you're thinking about heading to Aspen Snowmass, now is absolutely the time. Mother Nature is about to deliver some serious goods to the Colorado Rockies, and the conditions are lining up perfectly for an epic few days on the mountain.
Right now, conditions across the four mountains are looking solid. Aspen Mountain is sporting 79 centimeters at the summit and 35 centimeters at the base, with 74 percent of its 237 kilometers of terrain open across 15 lifts. Snowmass is the star of the show with 93 percent of slopes open, featuring 79 centimeters at the top and 35 centimeters down low. Aspen Highlands has 91 percent of terrain available, while Buttermilk rounds out the family with 91 percent of its runs accessible. Overall, it's a pretty healthy landscape for mid-March.
But here's where it gets exciting: a winter weather advisory is in effect through Friday morning, and a significant snow event is unfolding as we speak. Tonight and into tomorrow, expect heavy snow with wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour. The mountains could see two to four inches tonight alone, followed by four to eight inches on Tuesday with occasional thunder thrown in for good measure. Wednesday looks to continue the snow party with another three to five inches possible. By Thursday, things should start easing up, though snow showers will linger. In total, the next few days could dump 10 to 17 inches of fresh powder on the mountains—that's the kind of accumulation that makes skiers and snowboarders lose sleep from excitement.
Temperatures will be crisp throughout this period, ranging from the mid-teens to low 40s Fahrenheit in town, though it'll be considerably colder up high. The wind will be a factor, particularly before midday Tuesday, so conditions could be a bit gnarly in the morning, but that fresh snow will be worth every face shot.
Looking ahead, Saturday through Monday shape up to be bluebird days with mostly clear skies and highs in the 20s to low 50s—perfect for lapping the freshly groomed runs. March in Aspen typically sees around 55 millimeters of moisture throughout the month, but this system alone could account for a significant chunk of that.
Aspen Snowmass averages 295 inches of snow annually across its 63 snowfall days, and you're about to witness why this place is legendary. With most terrain open and a powder dump on the horizon, conditions are primed for an unforgettable mountain experience. Grab your gear, book your accommodation, and get ready for some serious turns in the coming days.
