Aspen Mountain.

970/925-1220

Late Nov.-mid-Apr., 9-4.

Aspen Mountain hosts galleries, museums, international conferences, and events. Offers year round cultural activities that attract visitors from around the world: skiers and non-skiers alike.

Aspen Mountain, also known as Ajax, is the standard by which many good skiers test themselves. Aspen is not for beginners. A black diamond here might rank as a double diamond elsewhere. The narrow mountain is laid out as a series of steep ridges with little room for error. Eight lifts, including a high-speed gondola, service the 631 acres of challenging terrain, spanning a vertical drop of 3,267 ft.
