Aspen Ski Resort
With four mountains to choose from, a vibrant town as a base and a distinct lack of crowds, Aspen is a must-visit destination in the mountains of Colorado.
Ski lifts have been in place here since just after World War Two and the resort has gone from strength to strength ever since. The four mountains have something for everyone, from the vast cruising terrain on Snowmass to the gentle beginner slopes at Buttermilk, and the World Cup run on Aspen Mountain to the vast off piste potential of Highlands, the options are fantastic. All are linked by an efficient bus service, making getting around easy – there is no need for a car when you arrive.
The town itself has a permanent population of over 7000 and is very vibrant. Numerous bars and restaurants make this a great base for skiing, just be sure to keep an eye on your wallet – Aspen is the destination for the rich and famous and the prices have in many places been set accordingly.
