Aspen is famous for its world-class skiing, its
exciting nightlife, and its favored status among the rich and famous.
The Aspen area is also host to many world class ski events. Aspen Mountain remains one of the more glamorous of the Colorado
resorts. It also maintains its status as the only remaining resort in
Colorado reserved strictly for skiers, so if you like to ride instead of
ski, you'll have to take the free shuttle to one of the three other
nearby resorts (Aspen Highlands, Snowmass, and Buttermilk) that together
comprise the City of Aspen resorts.
In addition to skiing, visitors can enjoy a multitude
of activities including dog-sled rides, ice skating, snowmobiling, and
many other outdoor sports. The after ski scene is top notch at a
multitude of bars and restaurants, ranging from pizza joints to
five-star establishments, they will suit most anyone's taste.

Beaver Creek After a day of challenging
yourself on Beaver Creek's terrain, which ranges from moguls to open
powder bowls to gladded terrain, you'll want to enjoy the classy but
small slope side ski village.
The even distribution between beginner, intermediate,
and advanced slopes makes this a good destination for families, and kids
will especially enjoy the resorts 'Adventure Zones'. The resort caters
to families and offers planned activities every night of the week,
including a Monday night Figure Skating Series and Tuesday night Movie
Scenes.
Snowboarders find plenty of excitement at three
terrain parks, and World Cup racers name Beaver Creek's Birds of Prey
run as one of the top three in the world.

Buttermilk Mountain,
another of the four Aspen
resorts is
a beginners dream-come-true. The resort offers a full range of classes
and special programs. Since there is no expert terrain here, advanced
skiers and snowboarders should choose one of the other Colorado resorts. For those who enjoy an evening workout, Buttermilk is a popular place
for locals who snowshoe to the summit under the light of the moon, then
ski or snowboard to the bottom. Of course after ski is the old town of
aspen itself. Founded on mineral exploration its cash is in snow now.
