Aspen Highlands, celebrating over 50 years as the locals’ favorite, boasts breathtaking vistas of the surrounding Maroon Bells and an abundance of expert terrain and groomed cruisers. Hike to the 12,392-feet summit of Highland Bowl for Colorado’s ultimate in-bounds backcountry rush. With the addition of the Deep Temerity lift and over 237 acres over the last three seasons, we’re proud to offer some of the most challenging big-mountain terrain in North America.
Aspen Skiing Company (ASC) will invest nearly $8 million in on-mountain improvements this year and has invested more than $130 million over the previous six seasons, giving guests the most seamless skiing/riding experience in the industry. This includes 11 new lifts with two new gondolas, the industry-leading Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center, three new restaurants, additional terrain plus the new Snowmass base village. In addition, the first phase of the $18 million room renovation at The Little Nell hotel (Aspen’s only five-star, five-diamond hotel) was completed in the fall.
