Excellent condition, trails were freshly groomed and tracked. Lots of fresh snow made for a wonderful ski.

Trails are freshly groomed and in great condition. Tracks set well in the fresh snow. Enjoy the weekend!

Rain two days ago and wind yesterday left the condition of trails with an icy crust and exposed debris on the track. We were optimistic we would get more snow to groom tomorrow however, only about an inch. I will post when we groom again.

Grooming was great! With the big pines, trail segments to the east, 1-5 are heavily debris laden. Most of the white magic is a definite go - all on the west side of this fun and flowy trail system!

Had a fantastic time with all of the different ecologies to ski through. Temperature hit 45° so even my waxless skis started to stick to spots in the sun. Luckily it had just been freshly tracked so wasn't as bad as it could have been. I ended up putting liquid glide wax on my kick area which solved the problem. On the plus side, it meant I could basically walk up the hills. Tossed about 20 sticks and branches off trails 1 through 8 but all the other trails were fine.

We skied the west side of the trails and found the trails in good condition. The track had just been set and was soft since the weather has warmed up. Now we need some cold nights to firm up the trails and they would be even better. However, we had a beautiful blue sky, freshly laid tracks and balmy air that made for a wonderful ski.

Trail conditions are good, still some debris. All segments were freshly groomed after the inch of snow overnight.

Trail has fair amount of debris due to the high winds few days ago. Nothing major, very nice skiing.

Trails are in fair to excellent condition. Parts were freshly groomed, others were in near perfect shape. Some minor debris at times.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Big Aspen? Having grown up just down the road, I learned to ski here and at Lookout Mountain (moment of silence). So, yes, I'm sentimental about it. But these trails really are fantastic! Rolling terrain with just enough pucker producing descents. Diverse forests, ridges and lowlands. And really great grooming! I would consider it a destination ski whether or not I grew up here. Make the drive. Ski these trails. You'll love it!
