About the Resort
About Aspen Colorado
Aspen Snowmass is one of the most iconic ski destinations in the world, renowned for its incredible combination of a vibrant, historic Victorian silver-mining town and four distinct mountains accessible on a single lift ticket. Nestled in the Roaring Fork Valley of the Rocky Mountains, the resort offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, natural beauty, and extreme mountain adventure.
The Resort
The four mountains—Aspen Mountain (Ajax), Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass—each possess a unique character. While Aspen Mountain drops steeply right into the bustling downtown and features no beginner runs, Snowmass provides a massive expanse of family-friendly cruisers and high-alpine bowls. The dining, arts, and après-ski scenes in Aspen are legendary, attracting an international crowd ranging from celebrities to die-hard alpinists.
Whether you are shopping at high-end boutiques, spraying champagne at Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro, or hiking up the famed Highland Bowl for some of the best in-bounds steep skiing in North America, Aspen delivers a superlative winter experience. The outstanding public transit system makes it seamless to jump between mountains and town, ensuring visitors can fully experience everything the area has to offer.

Buttermilk and Snowmass feature excellent beginner and family terrain alongside world-class terrain parks, while Aspen Mountain and Aspen Highlands are celebrated for their sustained steeps, bumps, and exhilarating hike-to freeride bowls.
