Aspen Mountain, and its famous black-diamond terrain, has kept our mountain on the map since 1947. In bounds Aspen Mountain offers a variety of glades, bumps and steeps. For an out-of-bounds experience, Aspen Mountain Powder Tours will hook you up with fresh tracks on the backside. While the mountain hasn't changed much, you'll appreciate the new gondola, great views and food at the Sundeck at the summit and Ajax Tavern at the base, where the apres rivals the skiing and snowboarding.

At 4,406 vertical feet, Snowmass has the most in the country. And with 3,332 acres of terrain, 94 trails, 21 chairlifts and access to your choice of cruisers, glades, steeps, terrain parks and halfpipes, you'll have to come back for more. Grab seconds at our restaurants too; on-mountain at the new Elk Camp or Sam's Smokehouse at the top of the Village Express chair, or in Snowmass Base Village at the Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center.
