Buttermilk
The gentlest of the four Aspen Snowmass mountains, all learning terrain and terrain parks, and a longtime home of the X Games. Ikon Pass holders get partner days here.
On the ground at North Lost Trail SNOTEL: 2 in
Expected next 4 days: 0.2 to 0.2 in (NWS forecast)
Current snow checked November 3, 2026. New snow, base, and season figures are resort reported. On the ground is the nearest SNOTEL station reading. Expected snowfall comes from the National Weather Service.
How the scoreboard covers Buttermilk
- Resort reported numbers. Buttermilk has no dedicated online snow report page. We publish what the hill publishes, on its site, its social feeds, or at the hill, and we say where each number came from. We never invent a number for a hill.
- Snow quality check. Inches are only half the story, so the scoreboard checks snow water and depth at the North Lost Trail SNOTEL station (669:CO:SNTL). The station pick has not yet been confirmed against the NRCS station map, and the scoreboard labels it that way.
- Expected snowfall. The Thursday outlook uses National Weather Service forecast data for this hill's location, and the Monday edition checks what actually fell against it.
Buttermilk in the editions
No editions have mentioned Buttermilk yet, and that is about to change by design: every Monday verdict and Thursday outlook carries the full 34 hill scoreboard, this hill included, in the same size row as every other. The first live edition ships with the first real snow of the season. See the editions archive.
