Ski Report for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Spring has officially sprung at Aspen Snowmass, and while the season is winding down, conditions remain solid for those looking to squeeze in some late-season powder runs before the resorts close up shop. As of late February, Snowmass is tracking 124 centimeters of snow at the summit and 60 centimeters at the base, with gripping conditions that'll keep your edges sharp. The mountain received its last significant snowfall back on February 20th, so don't expect fresh tracks, but the established base is holding strong enough for some excellent spring skiing.
Currently, Snowmass has 212 of its 237 kilometers of slopes open, which translates to 89 percent of the mountain available to you, with 17 of 20 lifts running daily. Aspen Mountain is similarly well-positioned, staying open through April 19th with lifts running until 4 PM most days after President's Day, giving you plenty of daylight to work with. Both mountains are operating on standard spring hours, opening at 9 AM and closing at 3:30 PM for the main lifts, though the Sky Cab Gondola at Snowmass runs extended hours from 8 AM to 9 PM if you're planning some après action.
The weather is classic spring snow country right now. Temperatures are hovering in the chilly range, with highs around 40 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit and lows dropping well below freezing, particularly in the mornings. You'll want to bring layers and be prepared for variable conditions throughout the day. Looking ahead at the next five days, expect mostly clear skies with temperatures climbing into the 60s and 70s at lower elevations, though the summit will remain significantly cooler. Rain is possible for roughly half of April in the Aspen area, so timing your trips carefully will be key as we move deeper into spring.
This season, Aspen Snowmass has accumulated 51 centimeters of monthly snowfall in March and about 46 centimeters in February, contributing to a solid overall season. The season total is tracking well, and spring conditions mean you'll experience that characteristic corn snow transformation as the day warms up. Morning runs tend to be firm and fast, while afternoon laps offer that softer, playful spring snow texture that many riders love.
One heads-up: Snowmass is scheduled to close on April 12th, while Aspen Mountain stays open until April 19th, so plan accordingly if you want maximum skiing days. The spring vibe is in full effect, which means fewer crowds on the slopes and perfect conditions for building confidence or working on technique before summer hiking season takes over.
