Aspen Mountain Ski ResortAspen Mountain Ski Resort, known as Aspen/Snowmass is located in White River National Forest in Colorado near the city of Aspen. Originally founded in 1946, Aspen is now part of a complex of four mountain peaks, each large enough to be a ski resort on its own. This upscale complex rivals some of the best skiing in the world with vertical rises between 2,000 to 4,000 feet. Here you will find many winter sports to choose from, on and off mountain dining and lodging, with each peak offering their own special aura. Aspen is an alpine delight with its famous black-diamond terrains and Aspen Highlands with spectacular views has great backcountry; while Buttermilk and Snowmass offer all the modern parks and pipes available. Also known for its wonderful family oriented activities and guided tours, the complex advertises itself as "Four mountains, one lift ticket - experience The Power of Four".More Ski Resorts: Ski Resorts and Cross-Country Ski Areas |
