Spring Corn Season is Here: Aspen Mountain's Final Days Before April 19 Closure
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Ski Report for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Hey shredders, Aspen's wrapping up an epic spring season with that classic corn snow vibe calling your name before the final curtains drop. Right now, Snowmass is closed for the 2025-26 winter, but Aspen Mountain's hanging tough till April 19, dishing out spring conditions on a slim 20-24 inch base (summit around 21-26 inches, way below the usual 56-inch April average). No fresh powder in the last 24-48 hours—last flurries hit early April with 4-10cm scraps—and zero new snow reported today amid those balmy vibes.
Pistes are rocking **spring snow** across 52% intermediate terrain, but with just 4 of 8 lifts spinning at Aspen (16/41 total across the four mountains earlier this week), trails are limited—think 56/98 open before the big close. Off-piste? Slim pickings with low depths and no recent dumps, so stick to groomers for those hero turns. Season total? Hovering under average at around 114cm measured, though Aspen's legendary for 300 inches historically.
Weather's all sunshine and warmth today—max near 45-53°F at base, feeling like 38-55°F with light SW/WSW winds (10-15mph gusts) and partial clouds. Over the next five days, expect mild highs of 47-69°F dropping to 19-35°F lows, mostly dry with tiny precip chances (0-10% snow odds, snow levels high at 13k-14k ft). Possible light showers Thu-Sun, but prime corn harvesting if you're chasing it—temps dip mid-week for a chillier shred.
Pro tip: Lifts run till 4pm most days through closing (Buttermilk already shut April 5, Snowmass 11th, Highlands 12th, Aspen Mtn 19th). Hit it early for best groomed lines, slather on sunscreen for those high UVs, and watch for thin spots as melt accelerates. Après in town awaits—Aspen's still buzzing. Get after it before summer takes over June 21!
