WE LIKE
- Notably uncrowded slopes, especially on Highlands and Buttermilk - the expanse and variation makes this a superb first time location.
- Amazing resort on mountains other than Aspen (Ajax) for beginners and intermediates but huge variety of slopes for all levels
- Great for freestylers, Aspen is home to the X games
WE DON'T LIKE
- Slopes split over three separate mountains (four if you count Snowmass, as you should), though there's efficient, free transport
- Some accommodation in Aspen town is a bus-ride from the lifts - so not much ski in - ski out
- Expensive by US standards - and quite expensive full stop! Also a bit of a hassle coming from the UK - but well worth it!
