Resort Info
Aspen Snowmass is made up of four mountains, each with their own individual characteristics. Aspen is easy to get around with a free shuttle running between all four. Best of all this is all accessible on one lift ticket. With over 5,600 acres of varied terrain across the four mountains, there is something for every skier and boarder to enjoy on your ski holiday to Aspen.
The slopes of Aspen Mountain rise up from the old silver mining town of Aspen, with lifts right down into the town giving you the benefits of a staying in a thriving town with a superb mountain on your door step. A mix of slopes await you, including some tough blacks and glade runs and some of the most awe-inspiring blue groomers in North America. Hero’s terrain is served with a high speed quad which opened last season adding an additional 153 acres to Aspen Mountain.
Snowmass is the largest of the four mountains (its ‘bigger than the other 3 combined) and offers the greatest variety of terrain; families and mixed ability parties will find the mountain a joy. As with all 4 of Aspen’s mountains the grooming is marvellous, so novices and intermediates who love to cruise will have a blast. With the US’s greatest vertical at almost 4,400 feet and a number of tough glades and chutes advanced skiers and boarders will also find much to enjoy.
Buttermilk is a great place for beginners, with some excellent learning terrain and spacious groomers. Buttermilk also attracts those that relish terrain parks, annually hosting the Winter X Games on its park, which has 100+ features and a massive super-pipe.
Nearby Aspen Highlands has some delightful tree-lined trails, or you can simply cruise along mid-mountain groomers off the Cloud Nine chairlift, but the mountain is best known for the infamous Highlands Bowl, where experts need to hike up the ridge to be rewarded by some challenging steeps. A quieter mountain where you feel like you are skiing in hidden locals mountain.
Off the Slopes
There are two choices of towns to stay for your Aspen Ski Holiday either the old silver mining town of Aspen itself or the purpose built Snowmass. Both feature great access to their respective mountains however with all 4 ski areas connected via free shuttle meaning which ever you choose your bound to have a great time. Aspen is better suited to those wanting a more lively nightlife scene with Snowmass being suited to families and those wanting a more laid back ski holiday to America.
The town of Aspen has a number of first-class hotels at the base of the mountain and there are plenty of choices when it comes to eating and drinking, from casual dining to exclusive restaurants, traditional pubs to sleek bars. Bosq Restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2023 serving some fantastic taster menus and delicious cocktails with Parc Aspen also being another great fine dining option. There are plenty of bar and nightspots in Aspen (far too many for us to list them all) however Belly Up is great for live music and for laidback bar food and drinks head to Zane’s Tavern.
Alongside the slopeside lodging in Snowmass Village, there are several restaurants to choose from such as Tasters serving brilliant Pizzas to trendy Mexican food at Venga Venga. You can, however, also easily access the main nightlife and après ski in Aspen town; no matter where you stay on your Aspen ski holiday all four mountains are accessible using the free shuttle buses and the service between Aspen and Snowmass village operates until 2am.
Tubing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice-skating are also all available or maybe you can try your hand at snow-biking or even uphilling – climb up one of the four mountains with skis, skins, boots and poles and then ski back down the route you ascended.
