RESORTS IN THE AREA

Rising from the vibrant heart of downtown Aspen, this is where it all began in 1946 with the single-seat chair, which immediately became the longest lift in the world. That mentality of “go big or go home” has always been the foundation of the mountain they still call “Ajax.”

Known for hosting the World Cup Finals, Ajax is not a mountain for beginners. The terrain is best suited for intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders.

At Snowmass, you could spend your entire trip skiing its terrain without repeating a single run. From the choice expert terrain of Burnt Mountain Glades/High Alpine/the Cirque, to the long intermediate cruisers, and impressive facilities for novices, it is an easy choice. But it is not all about skiing and riding at Snowmass. The new base village boasts an ice rink, climbing wall, wonderful restaurants, cafes, shops, and the new Limelight Hotel Snowmass.

Aspen Highlands may just be one ridge over from Aspen Mountain and Buttermilk, but it is truly in a world all its own. Adored by locals and elite skiers/snowboarders, the mountain has a duct-tape-to-diamonds vibe that is on display with the double-black steeps of Highland Bowl and the raucous après ski scene at Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro.

But on most days, it feels like it’s just you and the mountain, with miles of groomers and glades to explore at your leisure.
