An internationally-known Mecca for the rich and famous, these four Aspen resorts are world-class, but often take a backseat to their base city, nearby Aspen. Today, the year-round town is filled with glitzy boutiques, salons, bars, high-end restaurants and luxury homes and condos, making it one of the classiest mountain towns in the world. As an actual town and not just a resort, Aspen has every imaginable service available, great night life, a variety of entertainment options and excellent dinning. It's not just the after-ski atmosphere that is unparalleled though, nearby Aspen Highlands, Aspen Mountain, Snowmass, and Buttermilk resorts, all within 12 miles of each other, offer up world-class skiing on diverse terrain with excellent conditions, attracting ski buffs from all over the world.
In addition to being home of the ESPN Winter X games and the Crazy T'rain Terrain Park, Buttermilk is generally hailed one of the country's best mountains for learning. It has perfect terrain for beginners and offers exhilarating cruising. Almost 2 miles long, the terrain park features a huge kicker, 30 rails and a 15-foot superpipe, the only of its kind on the four mountains. Intermediate to advanced snowboarders will find the Crazy T'rain Terrain Park a playground of thrills.
