Luxury Ski Holidays In Aspen
with Elegant Resorts
Established by silver miners in 1879, Aspen’s skiing history started on a small scale in the 1930s, but since the opening of its first ski lift after the Second World War, it hasn’t looked back. Aspen offers a tempting array of skiable terrain covering four mountains; beginners will delight in the choice of slopes on Buttermilk, intermediates can improve their talents on the wide-open slopes at Snowmass, Aspen's sister ski resort, whilst advanced skiers generally head to Aspen Mountain – not for the faint-hearted – to stretch their skills to the limit. In addition, Aspen Highlands, one of the most popular regions to ski, offers the widest range of levels of slopes in Aspen Valley.
