Ski Conditions for Tuesday, December 4th

The ski conditions on Aspen Mountain were fantastic today. The two feet of fresh powder from this weekend has mostly been skied off, as lift lines on Sunday were upwards of 40 minutes. Again today the Gondola was taking passengers up and down the mountain. Lift 3 and the Gents Ridge Lift were running smoothly. The Mountain crew is doing a great job getting ready for the Women's World Cup, which is this weekend, December 7th - 9th. Hence Lift 1A and Ruthies are only open to official traffic. There are rumors of top to bottom skiing soon to come, as lots of snow and snow making have created enough of a snow base. The Sun is shining and the weather is warming up which is softening conditions on the mountain and making all those mean and cruddy push piles from the weekend ideal and shred ready!!! Stick to the groomers for great snow and wonderful conditions.
