On The Hill: Great skiing to be had at Ajax, but the base is shrinking rapidly
VIDEO: Temps have hovered around the 60’s for several weeks now, sparking off the inevitable yearly meltdown. The ungroomed areas are starting to wear dangerously thin, but the groomed areas have good coverage and are skiing very nicely yet.
On the Hill is brought to you by The Steadman Clinic and the Steadman Philippon Research Institute.

ASPEN SKI COMPANY OFFICIAL REPORT: 0″ in the past 24 hours, 0″ in 48 hours and 7″ in the last 7 days. High of 57°, low of 27°.
ASPEN TIMES FIELD REPORT: Heads up if you ski outside of the groomers. Rocks and bare patches are showing on Gentlemens Ridge, the Dumps, and basically all through the gladed areas of Aspen Mountain. The mountain is skiing variably, with firm crust up top, softer snow mid-mountain, and corn slush at the base as the day progresses.
LIFT LINE STATUS: What spring break? Seriously, slide right up and jump aboard, kiddos!
