One of Colorado's prettiest ski resorts, Aspen combines a classy, funky town with one of the largest ski areas in North America extending across 4 mountains - Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass - all of which are covered by the same lift pass.

The statistics above are based on Aspen Mountain only. Buttermilk Mountain is fantastic for beginners and Highlands is an intermediate/ advanced skier's paradise. Please click here to view full details of Snowmass ski resort.

Originally a mining town, Aspen has evolved into one of the most prestigious ski holiday destinations in North America, yet has maintained its historical character and small-town atmosphere. There are 100 bars and restaurants to choose from and bundles of boutiques and galleries to saunter around when off the slopes.

Aspen Mountain rises directly from the town centre, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk are a few miles outside the town and Snowmass is an easy 20 minute free shuttle ride away. Aspen Mountain and Highlands offer the most challenging skiing with some beautiful tree runs, gullies and chutes, whilst beginners and intermediates revel in the huge variety of wide cruisers at Buttermilk and Snowmass.

Why not go for an apres-ski drink at The Sky Hotel or The Little Nell - you may even bump into Jack Nicholson!
