Description

The jewel of Aspen's four ski mountains, Aspen Mountain spills right into the streets, making it very convenient for in-town lodgers. Eight lifts, including the Silver Queen Gondola, service 76 trails, most of which cater to experts and intermediates—this is not a mountain for beginners. If you ski down Little Nell, the main finishing run, make sure to bring your A-game for the whole town will be watching. Three on-mountain restaurants can handle hunger needs, or opt for the Ajax Tavern at the base for a prime people watching seat. Lessons are available. Lift tickets: USD68 adults, USD63 seniors; USD53 kids (13-17), USD43 kids (7-12).
