Aspen/Snowmass has invested $35 million in capital improvements for the 2008-2009 season, including
two new restaurants at Snowmass, a new high-speed quad Sheer Bliss
lift, 22-foot Olympic-sized halfpipe at Buttermilk and additional
terrain at Aspen Highlands. In addition, the new Snowmass base village
being developed by Related WestPac will reveal new restaurants,
ski-in/ski-out condos and new conference space.
Aspen/Snowmass, anywhere else this would be four separate vacations. It’s not just one mountain – it’s Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk. With four choices and 5,303 acres, decide which mountain fits your passion. Snowmass, so many runs, so much variety – cruisers, steeps, glades, off-piste, terrain parks, superpipe and the longest lift-served vertical rise in the United States. Rising out of the heart of downtown Aspen and famous for its steeps, bumps and incredible views, Aspen Mountain and its double-black and tree runs are fun for skiers and snowboarders alike. Known as the locals’ favorite mountain, Aspen Highlands features extreme terrain, groomed cruisers and breathtaking views of the Maroon Bells. For the ultimate ski/snowboarding experience, hike up and drop into Highland Bowl. Home of the ESPN Winter X Games through 2010 (for an unprecedented nine consecutive years!), Buttermilk also remains North America’s best family learning center. While experts frolic in the X Superpipe and terrain park, the rest of the family can cruise on the wide, rolling trails. Aspen/Snowmass. Experience the Power of Four.
With quadruple peaks - SNOWMASS, ASPEN MOUNTAIN, ASPEN HIGHLANDS, and BUTTERMILK - Aspen/Snowmass goes off by a Power of Four.
