The mountains around Aspen and Snowmass picked up the first snow dusting of the season Thursday morning after a cold front that moved through Wednesday.<\/p>\n

A layer of snow could be seen across the top of Snowmass resort, above 10,000 feet, and the top of Aspen Mountain had a light dusting as well.<\/p>\n

It is 77 days until the scheduled openings for Aspen Mountain and Snowmass on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 28). Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk are slated to open Dec. 7.<\/p>\n

The snow line in Snowmass was just below the top of the Village Express Lift, which sits at 10,600 feet.<\/p>\n

Those traveling over Independence Pass on Thursday morning caught up with the snow near Lost Man Trail, which sits at 10,400 feet.<\/p>\n
