Aspen Ski Resorts: Adventure and Luxury in One!

Aspen, Colorado is one of the most popular destinations in the world for skiers and snowboarders. This amazing town is filled with incredible resorts which offer unmatched luxury and fun for vacationers of all ages. In this article, you'll learn more about three of the best Aspen ski resorts -- Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk, and Snowmass.

Aspen Highlands: This resort has been around since 1958 and provides both beginner and intermediate terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. There's also a great deal of expert terrain for experienced skiers as well. Whether you want to ski, snowboard or snow tube, you'll find your ideal trail or slope here! The incredible variety is one reason why lots of Aspen locals choose to ski the Highlands themselves. Even if you visit the Highlands in the warmer months, you'll find plenty to do. There are lots of fun activities like horseback riding, fishing, and mountain biking for summer vacationers to enjoy.

Buttermilk Ski Resort: Buttermilk ski resort is one of the most popular in Aspen today and, until 2008, is the home of the ESPN Winter X Games. Although Buttermilk is smaller than many of the other ski resorts in Aspen, it's preferred by many skiers and snowboarders. If you're a beginner like I am, then you'll love the ski school which offers lessons for both children and adults. If snowboarding is your preferred winter sport, you'll love Buttermilk's miles of boarding terrain which features more than 25 rails and a superpipe. This resort is adjacent to fantastic shopping, dining and accommodations for vacationers to enjoy.

Snowmass Ski Resort: While Buttermilk may be one of the smallest Aspen resorts, Snowmass is one of the largest. The cool thing about this resort is that it shares a lift ticket with the other two resorts mentioned in this article -- the Highlands and Buttermilk. Not only that, but skiers and boarders will love the incredible variety of trails, slopes and terrain for all skill levels. Snowmass offers world-class lodging, great food, and even incredible shopping and is located only a few minutes from the heart of Aspen. This resort caters to everyone from honeymooning couples to large families and even corporate groups.
