Aspen\u00a0Snowmass<\/a>, Colorado, announced its scheduled opening and closing dates for the 2026-27 winter season, as the countdown to winter begins across its four mountains.<\/strong> The resort is launching new lesson packages designed to help guests learn to ski or ride and save when they plan trips in advance. For those considering a season pass, skiers and snowboarders can also lock in current pricing for Aspen Snowmass passes<\/u><\/a> through Sept. 18, before prices increase on Sept. 19.<\/p>\n

Aspen Mountain and Snowmass are scheduled to open for the season on Nov. 26, followed by Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk on Dec. 12.<\/strong> The 2026-27 season is scheduled to run through April 4, 2027, at Buttermilk; April 11 at Aspen Highlands and Snowmass; and April 18 at Aspen Mountain, as conditions allow.<\/p>\n

This past June, Aspen Snowmass launched a pioneering climate-resilience pilot project, becoming the first ski destination in Colorado to deploy advanced insulation blankets to preserve winter snow through the summer months.<\/strong> The initiative relies on patented technology from Snow Secure to shield existing snowpack from warm seasonal temperatures, ensuring a stronger, more sustainable foundation for the upcoming 2026-27 ski season.<\/p>\n

The resort team rolled out these specialized thermal mats over terrain parks situated on both Buttermilk and Snowmass Mountain.<\/strong> The trial wraps approximately 3.5 million gallons of snow water equivalent \u2014 mostly consisting of man-made snow generated during the previous winter cycle.<\/p>\n
