Aspen area this weekend

Going to Aspen this weekend and I'm going to sit out the $$$$ lift-served ski experience. Wondering if Redstone ice is (still?) in? Or are there any mellow turns to be made on my BC skis somewhere in the Roaring Fork? Hell, I'd even settle for snow-shoeing! (I'm guessing it's a tad early to take my road bike....)

Beta & partners greatly appreciated!

Hey Dara!

I'm from outta town but been in Glenwood Springs for last three weeks. There's no ice in Redstone - wasn't any when I got here. Vail still has ice. I'm sure there's snowshoeing and BC turns (which maybe a real local will reply). No matter what you do BC check - https://avalanche.state.co.us/forecasts/backcountry-avalanche/aspen/

There's rock in Glenwood Springs right at the tunnel and in New Castle.

Not to hijack the thread, but being in Glenwood, how are conditions at Rifle? Possible to sport climb?

Thanks, Daniel

Lots of wetness. A couple dry routes, snow at the bases outside of the caves.
