DISCOVER WHERE IT DUMPS
Powder day? If you’re on Aspen Mountain, be sure to take a few turns on Walsh’s, Bell Mountain, and the—appropriately named—Dumps run. While skiing or riding Snowmass, don’t miss Hanging Valley or Powerline Glades, and on Buttermilk, you’ll find the best snow from Tiehack Parkway to Racer’s Edge.
YOU, ME, AND THE MAROON BELLS
Snap a snowy selfie with the Maroon Bells—the most-photographed peaks in all of North America—as your backdrop. From the Patrol Headquarters deck on Aspen Highlands, you’ll have a perfect view of the Bells and the surrounding fourteeners. If you’re on Snowmass, you’ll have another prime photo-op from the top of the Elk Camp chairlift.
CULINARY INDULGENCES
If you’re not at the base of Aspen Mountain trying the legendary truffle fries on Ajax Tavern’s sun-splashed deck, you should be checking out the new Alpin Room at Snowmass. Dishes feel equal parts traditional and home cooked yet avant-garde, and pair perfectly with a superb glass of wine. With the ambiance of a ski chalet and a menu influenced by French, Swiss, and Austrian mountain dining traditions, you'll feel like you're in the heart of the Alps.
