Aspen Snowmass's 2026/27 season runs roughly from November 26, 2026 to April 18, 2027 — about 143 days of skiing. The opening, November 26, 2026, has been announced by the resort: it is published by aspensnowmass.com. The April 18, 2027 closing is published by the resort too. The up-to-date version, with its source, is on the opening-dates page.
Expected opening: November 26, 2026. Expected closing: April 18, 2027. Opening depends on enough snow at the 2399 m base, so it can move a week or two either way; with a 3813 m top station, the upper mountain usually holds out longer than the base at the end of the season. Closing tends to be pushed to Easter when it falls late.
Like most alpine resorts, Aspen Snowmass's lifts typically run roughly from 9:00 to 16:30–17:00, with the occasional night session on special dates. The exact daily schedule is published on the resort's official site.
The two weeks around opening day, plus Christmas and Easter holidays, are when sizes and the better models sell out first in Aspen Snowmass. Booking with the opening date already on the calendar — November 26, 2026 this season — is the simple way to avoid being left with what's spare.
