Much of what's new this year at Aspen Mountain is at the base, where the iconic ski-in, ski-out luxury hotel — The Little Nell (pictured) — is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond hotel is toasting the milestone by hosting commemorative events and happenings throughout the ski season, as well as offering its guests the chance to enjoy newly renovated spaces such as the lobby, the Living Room, Chair 9 (a popular après ski bar) and the Ajax Tavern.

Also new in Aspen is the opening of the W Hotel Aspen (formerly the Sky Hotel). The hotel's WET Deck promises to be another go-to place for Aspen's always-hot après ski scene.
