Conditions ReportAspen, Colorado, most famously known for hosting the annual Winter X-Games competition, is home to four different mountains that all make for excellent and unique skiing and snowboarding experiences. In the midst of an eerily dry Colorado winter, Aspen has the most skiable terrain in Colorado right now, with several thousands of acres open for riding across all skill levels.
I prayed for more patience in my life and since then it hasn't snowed. Apologies. It turns out that God deals in opportunities and not deliveries. But that's alright. Firm and fast snow makes you a better skier. And there's no better place to practice then on a gorgeous bluebird Sunday at Snowbasin, sans liftlines, cold weather, parking difficulty, or bad vibes.
After a shaky start to the season for most of the West, Mammoth Mountain is opening tomorrow, Thursday November 20, for the 2025-26 season. Today, the resort announced on social media its available terrain for skiing and riding. Lifts: "Huge thank you to our Snowmaking Team, Operations Team, and everyone else who worked hard to get us ready for Opening Day," the resort wrote on Instagram.
