The mountain right now
The live freezing level drawn on the elevation profile. Above the snow line, precipitation falls and stays as snow.
Terrain shape is schematic; elevations are the resort's approximate published figures.
Why it snows here
High continental Rockies: storms are drier than the coasts, but at 2,400–3,800 m the cold keeps every centimetre in play, and the famous low-density powder is a product of that altitude.
Reading Aspen Snowmass like a forecaster
The number that matters most at Aspen Snowmass is the difference between the base (2470 m) and the summit (3813 m): when the freezing level sits between the two, the mountain is split into rain or wet snow below and dry snow above. The Ski Meter reads the model at both elevations and scores the day with every point accounted for; the full report adds hourly timing, accumulation ranges and confidence tags so you can decide when to travel, not just whether.
