Skiers regard Aspen, Colorado as one of the world’s ultimate snow ski locations after experiencing some of the best skiing on earth coupled with area’s rich history and legendary hospitality. Aspen is known for its steeps and its four mountains that are not linked - Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk and Aspen Highlands. The town of Aspen with its festivals, world class resort properties, energetic nightlife and quality restaurants creates such a lasting impression that first time visitors are likely to return again and again. Snowmass is the giant of Aspen’s four ski areas. It’s a huge complex of open slopes, expansive trails and gullies combined with majestic peaks and ridges. Snowmass boasts the largest vertical drop in the USA and a huge amount of skiable surface. The terrain is varied enough to please every level of skier and board rider. Quality on-mountain programs, ski schools and facilities insure a wonderful experience. Aspen Mountain is a favorite of celebrities and stargazers. The ski area provides some of the best jumps, bumps and verticals in the Aspen area and also offers backcountry access via Snowcat. At the same time, the area presents enough easy rider trails and intermediate slopes to keep everyone happy. Buttermilk is the smallest of the 4 ski areas but an incredible vertical drop with open bowls, plenty of challenging terrain and runs as long as 8½ kilometers allows Buttermilk to pack a lot of different experiences into its tidy package. Buttermilk has been the host to the Winter X Games and presents a classic super-pipe for snowboarders. Aspen Highlands is a favorite of locals and returning visitors. Its relatively low key personality shrouds challenging trails, and relatively un-crowded conditions. The area’s famous “Highland Bowl” boasts some of the most intense skiing in Colorado. Tree skiing through lodgepole pines, an above the timber line summit and a competitive race set up insure for great ski experiences. Aspen boasts Colorado’s third busiest airport with a broad selection of daily flights on commercial carriers. The city has been home to a legion of Hollywood stars and international celebrities and provides the restaurants, clubs and accommodations that only serve to enhance that reputation. Your dream trip to ski or snowboard where the stars come out to play can be fulfilled by including a trip to Aspen, Colorado on your list.
