VIDEO: After a wonderfully warm and sunny spell, the snow is once again falling on Aspen Mountain. Our intrepid snowporter Corby Anderson checks out Dipsy to North American and finds a nice smattering of fresh snow atop an edgable base on a comfortable, low-vis Sunday morning.

ASPEN SKI COMPANY OFFICIAL REPORT: 1″ in the past 24 hours, 1″ in 48 hours and 1″ in the last 7 days. High of 36°, low of 18°.

ASPEN TIMES FIELD REPORT: It only started snowing in Aspen around 8am, but it’s coming down thick and heavy. A good inch is sticking to the ski areas with more on the way. There is a pretty firm, in places thin base underneath so use some caution, especially off the groomed trails. The snow is really falling hard so visibility is very limited this morning, though the winds are not very strong so it is a pleasant snowfall, and actually pretty warm.




LIFT LINE STATUS: Cruise on through!
