Some resorts are famous for their terrain. Aspen Snowmass is famous for how our terrain makes you feel. It is a state of bliss that you can’t simply package up and replicate. In a way, our four mountains of unique terrain are just the beginning. When you come to Aspen Snowmass in winter, there’s no telling what your vacation highlight will be. It may well be the sublime skiing and riding. Or it could be the world famous après ski, a mountain town with the arts and culture scene of a major city, or the fabulous dining at any of our on-mountain restaurants. And since we keep adding new features to the resort every year — like The Hideout, the new children’s center at Buttermilk — or the four new tubing lanes at Snowmass — Aspen Snowmass continues to evolve and stay ahead of the curve.

ASPEN MOUNTAIN & THE CITY OF ASPEN There is no denying the unique personality of Aspen Mountain. Rising from the vibrant heart of downtown Aspen, this is where it all began nearly 70 years ago. While services and trails have been added over that time, the spirit of those early days persists. You may be skiing down the same runs that have held World Cup races, or exploring powder stashes through wooded glades, but you’ll still feel like you’re skiing the local’s mountain. Up top, the Sundeck serves delectable dishes with an unparalleled view, while down at the base, Ajax Tavern has become internationally known for its après ski scene and truffle fries.

Take a free historical tour on skis or snowboards with the Aspen Historical Society, and discover the compelling stories of fortunes won and lost on the slopes of Aspen Mountain.
Also at SNOWMASS
Take a break from skiing and riding and head to the new tubing runs at Elk Camp. Opening in 2014-2015, the tubing center will include four lift-served lanes of tubing excitement.
SNOWMASS & SNOWMASS VILLAGE Snowmass couldn’t have a more appropriate name. With 94 trails and an astonishing 4,400 feet (1,343 meters) of vertical from base to summit, secret stashes abound. You could spend your entire trip skiing and riding here without covering the same ground twice. But Snowmass is more than just awesome terrain. The Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center continues to delight families with its excellent, kid-centric programming and ski school. Mix that with the weekly bonfire and s’mores party known as Ullr Nights at Elk Camp, as well as abundant ski-in/ski-out lodging options, and Snowmass emerges as an ideal base for any winter vacation.

Buttermilk: Home of the X Games and The Hideout Buttermilk is one mountain with two personalities. Best known around the world for being home to the Winter X Games (for a 14th year in a row in 2015), the mountain has become an icon for freestyle riders and skiers, who hit up the Buttermilk park & pipe to see what they’re made of. On the flipside, Buttermilk is also easy-going for beginners and families. It boasts wonderful beginner and intermediate terrain, as well as fun trails geared especially for kids. With the addition in 2014-2015 of The Hideout, Buttermilk offers the complete skiing experience for families, too.

Also at BUTTERMILK
The base at Buttermilk has undergone a redesign, and at the center of it all is The Hideout, a new, ski-in/ski-out interactive children’s center that is operated by the Ski & Snowboard School. The Hideout will seamlessly blend Buttermilk’s kidfriendly terrain with a variety of fun, indoor programs centered on mountain adventure. 6

Break bread with friends over a pot of fondue at the iconic Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro, a restaurant that proudly has one foot in Colorado and another in Switzerland.
Aspen Highlands Aspen Highlands may be only one ridge over from Aspen Mountain and Buttermilk, but it is truly in a world all its own. Adored by locals and revered by elite skiers and riders, Aspen Highlands has a duct-tape-todiamonds vibe that is totally unique. Hike the ridge to Highland Bowl for the sweetest run of your life, or dash through glades on the edge of Olympic Bowl. Or simply cruise along the mid-mountain groomers off the Cloud Nine chairlift. After each run, a glance over the valley at the snow-covered Maroon Bells will remind you why they are the most recognizable peaks in Colorado.
