VIDEO: The powder keeps dropping on the Aspen Snowmass area, and the skiing could not be better. Our intrepid pow scout Corby Anderson skis Aspen Mountain and finds that another 3″ inches has fallen overnight, with more coming down by the second, leaving powder stashes every where you look.

ASPEN SKI COMPANY OFFICIAL REPORT: 3″ in the past 24 hours, 3″ in 48 hours and 18″ in the last 7 days. High of 18°, low of -9°.

ASPEN TIMES FIELD REPORT: How lucky are we!? It has now snowed 14 of the past 16 days, with another 3″ overnight and possibly 6″ or more today, by liberal measures. Skiing the fringes of Bellisimo yielded easily two feet of dry light powder underfoot. The stashes on Bell Mountain are bomber as well. It wasn’t noticibly freezling this morning, but reports are for sub-zero temps today, so go with an extra layer, facemask and your warmest gloves today, as well as goggles that can handle flat light in the falling snow.

LIFT LINE STATUS: Several deep.
