Summer
Aspen's summer weather is warm and dry with temperatures occasionally as high as 90 degrees during the day. Brief afternoon showers are frequent, so bring a raincoat. Evening temperatures drop to 50 degrees and below; a lightweight coat or warm sweater is a good idea.
Fall
Aspen's fall weather is generally warm and dry, although cold spells do occur, and it can snow in the surrounding mountains. Daytime temperatures can reach the high 70's, dropping to the 30's at night. A warm sweater or lightweight coat is still a good idea for evenings. The last two weeks of September and the first of October are noted for their fall color beauty.
Winter
Aspen is renowned for its warm winter sun. Daytime temperatures range from 20 to 40 degrees in town and from 10 to 30 degrees on the mountain. Once the sun goes down, the temperature drops dramatically. Aspen dress is informal and either skiwear or après ski wear is appropriate.
Spring
Aspen's spring weather ranges from warm to cool both day and night. Showers and snowfalls are possible; so don't forget to pack a jacket.
