Aspen Snowmass Ski Resort, Colorado, USA

Sixty years since the first chairlift started turning, Aspen/Snowmass remains the center of North America’s mountain culture. Unrivalled with four mountains, over 500 kilometers of pistes, unparalleled events and endless nightlife, it’s no surprise Outside Magazine recently named Aspen/Snowmass “the world’s greatest ski town.” Simply put, if it’s happening…it’s happening here.

Snowmass is undergoing an ambitious renaissance that will result in quicker lift rides, a new base village, over $35 million in existing property renovations, an amazing new children’s centre and much more, including the new eight-person Elk Camp Gondola.

Aspen Mountain also has a new gondola, replacing the 20-year-old cars with new Swiss-made cabins, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Aspen Highlands continues to wow visitors with Deep Temerity: 1,700 vertical feet/ 518metres of advanced, expert and extreme terrain.

With quadruple peaks—Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk—Aspen/Snowmass goes off by the Power of Four.
