The slopes
Beginners
Buttermilk and Snowmass mountains are beginners' and families' heaven - both are forgiving and uncrowded with wide open gentle slopes which make learning to ski fun for everyone.
Intermediates
Discover the long cruising runs on Aspen Highlands, starting from the mid-mountain 'Merry Go Round' restaurant. Ajax has a huge range of runs whilst Snowmass has enough trails to exhaust the piste skier.
Advanced
There are challenges in abundance. Snowmass offers great tree skiing and oodles of off-piste powder, plus some wickedly steep chutes including The Hanging Valley Glades and the Cirque the longest lift served vertical rise in the USA. Ajax boasts a minefield of moguls and offers the most challenging skiing of all.
Snowboarding
Freestyle action is at Snowmass - Pipeline Terrain Park or at Buttermilk - Crazy T'rain, the worlds longest terrain park. The park is 2 miles long and is home to the X-Games competition.
