I live in aspen. The backcountry in Snowmass is sooo much fun. It is mostly accessible by lift. Last year we had a few really big snow days, and there is a section on the mountain that is just faced with cliffs all over. It is so much fun at the right time. A lot of people get up there when it snows. But when it does snow a good amount, it will last long enough to ski for a few days.

there may not be enough snow by then to do the bc shit. it's best when there's a pretty significant base.

Hiked to the top of Snowmas last thurs and Ajax sat.
Pretty melted out below about 9K' but good on top.
Snowmass steeps OOB are generally east of Sheer Bliss lift. We'll prob wind up with close to a foot
out of this storm system. Friends in Durango are reporting killer dumps in the San Juans.
