Ski Aspen

Ski Aspen - and you're in probably the best known ski resort in the USA. Offering a historic town with all levels of skiing and snowboarding, you also get the luxury of Aspen airport just a few miles from the slopes to make life really simple.

Where

Ski Aspen to be in the middle of Colorado, in the middle of the USA Rockies. Ski holidays in Aspen are highly accessible either to the local Aspen airport, Eagle county (90 mins) or the largest airport, Denver (3.5 hours). Based at 2400m, Aspen ski resort is a mecca for the rich and famous and also offers some amazing and extensive skiing and snowboarding slopes.

On the slopes

Ski holidays in Aspen have four mountains of uncluttered pistes available for skiers and boarders as well as two snowparks, moguls, treelined off-piste and cross country trails. The mountains are linked by bus to provide you with 5000+ acres of piste and off-piste pure snow - Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk! Snowmass is the largest of the ski areas. With every level of skier and boarder catered for and great ski schools and private instruction - you will not forget this holiday!

Ski area :

If you ski Aspen you are in the US state of Colorado.

Ski Apsen for a lively and sometimes young resort, it's also like a who's who at certain times of the year along with the designer boutiques and art galleries. Après-ski is fantastic with a very wide range of choice to fit all tastes. There's also restaurants everywhere - over 100 at last count - that cater for every cuisine. As you can tell, it's not really a budget skiing resort as such. As a family ski holiday destination - we couldn't recommend it more. For non-skiers, everything from hot air ballooning, art galleries and the usual snow sports await you.

WE LIKE

  • Notably uncrowded slopes, especially on Highlands and Buttermilk
  • Amazing resort 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!
