Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk · Aspen
Colorado Ski Country USA lists Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk for Dec. 12, 2026, as announced dates. Aspen Mountain and Snowmass are on an earlier day.
Colorado Ski Country USA's Oct. 6, 2026 release puts opening dates under the heading "Projected Opening Dates" and says they are always weather- and conditions-dependent. In that same list it calls these the dates currently announced by member resorts. Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk are both named for Dec. 12, 2026.
Aspen Mountain and Snowmass are on that list for Nov. 26, not Dec. 12. This page is the Dec. 12 pair only. It is not a snow report and does not include a lift-ticket price. Checked again the evening of Oct. 21, 2026: the release still shows an Oct. 6 publish date and the same Dec. 12 dates.
