| Aspen Mountain (7,945 - 11,212
ft.) |
| Steep chutes, mogul-rich pitches,
and gladed ridges make it the site of one of the toughest World Cup
downhill courses in the world. There are no novice trails here.* |
| Snowmass Mountain (8,104 -
12,510 ft.) |
| Those who prefer the open glacier
skiing of Europe will feel most at home here. Trails offer terrain
that can usually be found only on backcountry heliskiing adventures
and are a particular favorite of snowboarders.* |

| Aspen is the proud home of
four World-class ski areas (click to enlarge) |
|
| Aspen Highlands (8,040 - 11,675
ft.) |
| Those who hunger for untracked
steeps will head directly to these wild and barely tamed runs that
give pause to all but the boldest extreme skier.* |
| Buttermilk Mountain (7,870 -
9,900 ft.) |
| Conceived as a learning center
that would accommodate skiers not yet skilled enough for the more
difficult slopes, it offers ballroom smooth terrain and special
lifts for children. It provides an uncrowded and blissful cruiser's
paradise.* |
