Ski holidays in Aspen - Aspen has four mountains, not linked by ski lifts, which together offer a vast range of skiing for all standards. There is a complimentary shuttle service from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. for skiers and snowboarders. Beginners and those looking for quieter, gentler slopes tend to start at Buttermilk, a few miles (5 km) out of town. Those wanting a huge terrain with something for everyone will head for Snowmass 11 miles (18 km) away, whilst those searching out advanced and expert level thrills and excitement go straight for Aspen Mountain, or Aspen Highlands three miles (5 km) distant.

Access to intermediate level terrain on Aspen mountain was improved with the installation of the United State's first high-speed detachable double chair, replacing the original Ruthie's chair, and reducing uphill transit time from 11 minutes to five.

For the more advanced skiers looking for extra excitement, there are guided off-piste tours at Aspen Highlands and Snowmass, and a popular Speed Skiing Course also at Snowmass, where participants often clock up 65mph (105kph). The lift-served Cirque powder skiing above the treeline at Snowmass is also a popular option (open around 60 - 75 days per season, according to snow conditions), as is an Aspen Mountain Powder tour. This all-day tour is not for the faint-of-finance however, coming in at $225, including gourmet lunch.

A huge range of ski and snowboard school classes are available through the thousand-plus teacher strong Ski and Snowboard Schools of Aspen. One of the most novel is the On-Mountain Performance Centre where all levels of skiers can use "on and off snow biomechanical analyses of body movement and equipment ...to unlock each skier's true potential".
