Aspen Colorado Travel Guide
It’s the most iconic American ski resort you’ll ever ski at. Really. There’s pure, Rocky Mountains powder, and you can pick from the gentle slopes of Buttermilk and Snowmass to the expert terrain of Aspen Highlands and Aspen Mountain.There are more than 160 miles of runs here, and scores of lifts and gondolas that collectively whisk a whopping 25,000-plus skiers up the mountain every hour! Can you imagine that? And the odds of you running into a Hollywood celeb or loaded corporate exec on the slopes are huge, for the place is literally crawling with them. In town, you’ll find pricey brand-name and designer-label shops and boutiques, and pricier restaurants and bars. In the summer, hey, it doesn’t get any cheaper, and in the fall you’ll see Aspens gleaming in gold and rust. So, yeah, bring along a loaded wallet, and kick it! – to the hilt!
