ASPEN SKI COMPANY OFFICIAL REPORT: 0″ in the past 24 hours, 0″ in 48 hours and 0″ in the last 7 days. High of 39°, low of 16°.

ASPEN TIMES FIELD REPORT: The mountain is starting to firm up with all of this warm weather. In the morning most areas are hard packed, so “ski with the sun” for soft turns unless you are looking to shred the racy patches.

LIFT LINE STATUS: Kinda sorta busy today. Had to wait for :22 seconds to get on the gondy.

LISTENING TO: Bob Gibson “Talking Skier”
