Get quoteAspen started life as a silver mining town and has evolved over 130 years or so into a year round mountain holiday destination. Its core retains a heritage feel yet a modern day Aspen ski holiday is home to dozens of restaurants and bars giving it a reputation as one of the brighter apres ski resorts in North America.
Aspens ski resort's appeal extends to the slopes too, with over 5,500 acres of terrain across four mountains offering something for every skier and boarder to enjoy. Dominating the town on your ski holiday to Aspen are the slopes of Aspen Mountain, lifts departing from and trails returning to the edge of the resort. Here a mix of slopes awaits, including some tough blacks and glade runs.
Snowmass is the largest of the four mountains and offers a great variety of slopes. Families and mixed ability parties will find the mountain a joy. As with all of Aspen’s resorts that you will discover on your ski holiday to Aspen, the grooming is marvellous, so novices and intermediates who love to cruise will have a blast. With the US’s greatest vertical at 1,340m and a number of tough glades and chutes advanced skiers and boarders will also find much to enjoy. Snowmass also has three terrain parks and a super pipe.
