Despite its reputation, fully justified, as a town full of celebrities and billionaires, Aspen is a proper mountain town of real style and substance. It has as much glitz and appeal, as do the surrounding ski slopes, as any wintersports resort on the planet - and many would say there is no better.

You have the daily choice of which fabulous mountain to ski – Aspen, Highlands, Buttermilk or Snowmass. In fact each area could merit being called a resort in itself, particularly Snowmass.
