Weather by month
Aspen
Colorado
A high valley town whose year runs on the lift schedule, with long quiet stretches built in between.
The best time to come
March for the deepest snow with daylight to enjoy it, July for the festivals and the wildflowers, September for aspens turning the whole valley gold. April, May, October and November are off-season here — cheap, calm, and half shut.
