I can recommend this little book if you want some commentary on a lot of the slopes and runs :

I think it does you a good job going through all the areas. And although there's some more focus on advanced and expert terrain, it covers all the blue groomers pretty well too. The photos and getting oriented to how the mountain is laid out are only slightly useful - I find the trail maps are better. Of course, Aspen has pretty crappy trail maps, so I'd also recommend Fatmap.com to get a look at how the mountains are really laid out.
