Aspen's Winter Wonderland: Snowmaking Fuels Pre-Season Hype for Epic Turns Ahead
Ski Report for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Daily Ski Conditions for Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
Hey shredders, Aspen's calling with that classic Colorado promise of epic turns ahead, but right now on mid-December, the mountains are in pre-open hype mode. Aspen Mountain and Snowmass kick off November 27, with Highlands firing up today and Buttermilk dropping December 20—no lifts spinning yet across the four peaks, so zero open trails or chairlifts for now. Snow depths sit at zero at bases and summits per latest reports, as crews gear up snowmaking with those chilly nights locking in a solid base by Thanksgiving weekend.
No new snow in the last 24 or 48 hours, but early storms have dusted the Elks, building toward Aspen's beastly average of **300+ inches** season total—think 307 inches historically across the resorts. Piste and off-piste? All closed, but once open, expect groomed corduroy mixing with variable powder stashes, wind crust potential high up after any flurries.
Current vibes around Snowmass Village and Aspen: crisp and clear, temps hovering **19°F** at the airport early today with light winds and no precip—freeze-thaw cycles keeping things prime for making. Looking ahead five days, it's mostly dry and warming: highs climbing to **40-62°F** at base, lows **20-35°F**, sunny skies with cloudy spells Friday, no big dumps forecast but perfect for snow guns. Statewide outlook hints slightly above-average snow at elevation thanks to La Niña vibes.
Pro tip from locals: Book early for Thanksgiving powder days—projections eye 10-20 inches November total, ramping to 40-60 December. Watch for opening updates on aspensnowmass.com, and pack layers for those swingy temps. Get stoked, the white ribbon of death awaits!
