Skiing in Aspen, Colorado

Want to ski with the rich and famous? If yes, then Aspen is the place to be. Aspen is known for its steeps and its four mountains that are not linked. Aspen/Snowmass is an expansive winter resort complex located in Pitkin County in western Colorado in the United States. Owned and operated by the Aspen Skiing Company it comprises four skiing or snowboarding areas on four adjacent mountains in the vicinity of the towns of Aspen and Snowmass Village. The four areas collectively form one of the most famous winter resorts in the world and are annually the destination for visitors from all over the world.

Filled with steeps and bumps, Aspen Mountain has fantastic groomed intermediate runs as well. The mountain is also a great choice for experts, who can access hundreds of acres of terrain off the backside. As the city with great ski resorts of choice for those who are "better off," Aspen has a tendency to get slightly expensive.

The four ski areas of the complex are:

Aspen Mountain, the oldest of the four areas, located on Bell Mountain and the Aspen Mountain above the town of Aspen.

Aspen Highlands, located on Highland Peak and Loge Peak just north of Aspen.
Buttermilk, a low altitude family-oriented ski area just north of Aspen Highlands.
Snowmass, the largest of the four areas (bigger than the other three combined), located near Snowmass Village.
