It is famous as favorite among the four Aspen ski resorts for advanced and expert skiers, Aspen Highlands in fact boasts terrain for beginners and less experienced skiers. Tranquil and gentle Buttermilk is rather close so it is easy to get to the areas with more difficult slopes.

Aspen Highlands is a long mountain range line, rising between the Castle Creek and Maroon Creek valleys. Its slopes diverge the sides of the ridge toward the valleys below. The skiers can enjoy the long trails along the ridge itself.

If you have an Aspen area lift ticket, you may can try the slopes of Highlands but also choose from Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk and Snowmass. The resort is located in 3 miles from Aspen downtown, and if want to relish the absolute Aspen experience, you should visit Highlands.

Aspen/Snowmass boasts 2 towns, 4 mountains (Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk), 4,993 acres of terrain, 42 lifts, 335 trails and the steepest vertical slope in Colorado, and caters excellent terrain and greatest diversity of Rocky Mountain skiing at one resort.

Aspen Highlands still defies the snowboarders and skiers skills and nerve, from novice to professionals. The one thing the mountain lacks is the park/pipe area. Aspen Highlands amazing bowls is the site for big-mountain skiing. Here you may also relish the open trails or try a snowmobile ride to the first access gate then go on hiking to the famous drops of the lately extended Highland Bowl.
