The days are getting shorter, evenings are cooling off quick, soon the Aspen trees will turn to that gorgeous shade of gold and sunshine will be a welcomed source of warmth. Autumn is almost upon us, which means snow will soon be in our forecasts. Lucky for us, the first signs of winter are already blanketing the peaks of Colorado’s High Country. Don’t believe us? Take a look at the beautiful pictures below and then we suggest heading outside to summon the snow gods.

Aspen Snowmass, CO
