Just saying the word Aspen conjures images of a desirable gold standard snow paradise and there’s good reason for its reputation for one of the world’s premiere winter resorts. Aspen Snowmass encompasses four mountains meaning visitors can ski and snowboard across Aspen Mountain, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk under one lift ticket. There’s more than 5600 acres of Colorado powder to lay down tracks and leading edge lift infrastructure to move guests around comfortably and quickly. The town of Aspen, Snowmass Village and all four ski areas are also linked by a free shuttle service that runs all day and well into the wee hours of the morning for the revellers.

There’s an unimaginable number of glades, wide groomers, bowls, gullies, chutes and cliffs in the resorts in-bounds area plus add to this the back country off-piste riding and its mind altering. This snow holiday mecca caters for everyone at every level with well over 330 trails, some up to 8km long, with each mountain having its own distinctive high lights and features.

When the sun has set there’s umpteen places to enjoy some apres-ski, the iconic Ajax Tavern being hugely popular. There’s a cornucopia of world class dining, designer boutiques, inspiring art galleries and accommodation of all types. Fulfil the snow holiday dream at Aspen Snowmass.
