The Ski Resort

Aspen Snowmass is nestled in Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley, and is a world-class ski destination featuring four unique mountains. Visitors to Aspen Snowmass enjoy a wealth of amenities, and accommodation ranges from luxurious hotels to charming lodges, while dining options span from casual spots to fine dining. The resort also features boutique shops, art galleries, and cultural events, so there’s always entertainment off the slopes.

The Ski Slopes

Aspen Snowmass offers an expansive ski experience across four distinct mountains, covering 5,700+ acres in total and including 336 marked trails accessible via 46 lifts. Each mountain offers its own charm and challenges. Snowmass is the largest, and boasts over 3,300 acres of terrain with 98 trails for all levels. Beginners will enjoy the gentle slopes of Fanny Hill, while intermediates can cruise down runs like Sneaky’s. Advanced skiers can tackle the challenging Cirque Headwall, and everyone can appreciate Longshot, the resort’s longest run at 8.5km. Aspen Mountain, towering above the town of Aspen, is best suited for intermediate and advanced skiers. Known for its challenging black-diamond runs, and the iconic Dipsy Doodle and Silver Queen, there’s no beginner terrain here. Aspen Highlands attracts more experienced skiers and thrill-seekers with the legendary Highland Bowl. This terrain offers steep and adrenaline-pumping descents, and is deemed one-of-a-kind by serious skiers. Buttermilk however, is renowned for its parks and pipes. From beginner to pro, there's terrain here for everyone.

Après Ski

Aspen Snowmass has an après-ski scene with something for everyone, whether that’s a lively party or a laid-back drink by the fire. On Aspen Highlands, Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro is legendary for its energetic atmosphere, where champagne showers and music turn a simple afternoon into a celebration. At the base of Aspen Mountain, Ajax Tavern is the go-to spot for truffle fries and cocktails, all while people-watching on the sunlit patio. Over on Snowmass, Sam’s delivers a more relaxed vibe with Italian-inspired dishes and stunning mountain views. In town, Limelight Lounges in both Aspen and Snowmass give you a cosy, living-room feel with live music on weekends and daily happy hour specials. At Snowmass Base Village, Venga Venga serves up margaritas and shared plates with unbeatable mountain scenery. Throughout the season, Aspen Snowmass also hosts the Après Series, rotating lively parties across the four mountains with live DJs.
