Four Mountains, One Great Skiing Destination
Aspen Skiing Company operates four ski areas in this incredible landscape: Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk. This includes thousands of acres of land for skiing and snowboarding, as well as countless other activities, plus restaurants with fabulous views and exciting nightlife.A gondola from downtown Aspen takes you to the top of the mountain, with fantastic views along the way. Because of the drier climate, the snow here is soft and fluffy, making your experience even more pleasant. And with all the skiers in colorful outfits and armed with all the hottest gear, the atmosphere is much like that of a rock concert.
You will feel right at home at the ski and snowboard school at Aspen/Snowmass, where you can receive the most cutting-edge skiing and snowboarding instruction with a strong emphasis on safety.

It’s impressive to see how inspiring and rewarding adaptive skiing is for disabled visitors who don’t let their physical conditions limit their desire to glide down the beautiful snowy mountains.

Aspen/Snowmass has some of the best ski resorts and certainly the best quality of snow for winter sports – as well as great options for year-round fun.
