We thought it would be okay to put the hammock up in the backyard this weekend after Friday's snow storm. It was fairly nice, after all. But noooo.

The winter that won't leave has brought snowshowers once again to town and we're expecting one to three inches today with a high of 43.

Another chilly day in Aspen’s extended winter. While there was no snow falling at noon today, there was a cold gray sky hovering over the nearly empty town. If you like quiet mountain towns, you’re in luck this weekend, but watch out for the parking patrollers, who continue to show no mercy on broke locals.

It is a snowy spring day in Aspen. There were at least three wet inches on the ground at daybreak.

The streets were cleared of most inhabitants by a brisk wind and another two to four inches is in the forecast for this afternoon.

Mud season? We wish. As of 3:45, it was snowing heavily again in Aspen.

Last Saturday at Highlands was one of the busiest days of the year for the resort tucked up the Maroon Creek valley and lots of people were chatting this week about how good the skiing was.
So, you can expect another good turnout this weekend. The weather has been warm this week but temps have stayed below 60 degrees, so the snowpack at high should still be in pretty good shape.

    A chill and breezy afternoon in the old mining town today. It was apparantly a successful, and popular, weekend at Highlands with great upper mountain snow conditions and plenty of frivolity in the skimming pond at the base area.
    One more weekend to go for the Highlands!

    It was snowy night Wednesday in the valley and Aspen Highlands picked up another six inches of snow for good measure.

   So things are looking bright for the first post-season weekend slidefest at Highlands.

    Okay, we’re coming to terms. Kind of. The season has ended. The Aspen Mountain employee party was yesterday, which afforded some folks another bite at the apple. Today though, the gondola is still turning... but it is for employees to start breaking down the mountain for the season and preparing the mountain for spring run off.

We're still leading our charmed life here as the sun came out for Sunday, closing day, and is out again today. It is actually "hot" compared to what we've been shouldering through this chilly spring. It was a balmy 52 degrees yesterday in Aspen and should hit 63 (!) today.
