With the addition of the Heros terrain, lack of crowds, Aspen (Ajax) has amazing terrain. The trees, the steeps and the variety of Bell Mountain make Aspen an amazing powder day mountainand Snowmass has such variety from the steeps of the KT gully and the varied terrain families with different abilities can enjoy vacations togetherand lets not forget the Highlands bowl! Its amazing and worth the effort. In fact there is so much terrain between ajax, highlands, snowmass and buttermilk/tiehack I have over 129 days and havent skied it all!

Snowmass Aspen Ski Mountain is truly a top-tier destination for any skier or snowboarder. From the terrain to the staff, everything was simply exquisite. The runs are diverse, catering to all skill levels, and the powder is absolutely riveting soft, deep, and thrilling with every turn. The workers were incredibly kind and welcoming, making the entire experience feel even more special. Ill admit, its a bit pricier, especially given its location in Aspen, but every penny is worth it. The mountains beauty, the quality of the slopes, and the friendly atmosphere make it hands down one of the best places to hit the slopes. You're guaranteed to have an unforgettable time!

Worked on the mountain for many seasons.
Great tree skiing and steeps. Aspen trees super fun. Each of the 4 mountains has different vibe and can cater to all abilities. Such fun areas, drops, cliffs, bowls. Can always find quiet slopes. Amazing spring skiing too as Ajax offers many different slope aspects as day goes on. Spring backcountry skiing is awesome.
Town itself is a ski town but slightly overwhelmed by super rich. Apres ski poor compared to Europe but decent compared to other US resorts/towns (nothing new there). Highlands ale house is my choice.
My preference of mountains:
1. Highlands
2. Ajax
3. Snowmass
4. Buttermilk (although amazing for beginners and park skiers)

Four seperate mountains to choose from is virtually unheard of in the US. My favorite was Snowmass with steeds and groomers and plenty of room to maneuver. Buttermilk was good for day 4 but we returned to Snowmass to complete the week
Aspen is incredibly fast and steep I couldn't believe some of the runs I witnessed, it's also very narrow. Highlands is expert territory be prepared to burn the quads! Place is definitely pricy and walking around is no joke,I had to buy some 02 to navigate the inclines and altitude.

Aspen Snowmass had some of the best skiing I've ever experienced. The runs were long and a good mix of easy and challenging. The Apres is unmatched and so much fun. Highly recommend!

The variety of slopes between the 4 has something for everyone. There are a lot of unmarked mogul runs so be careful if thats not for you.
The bus system can be a bit complex at first but after is pretty easy to navigate. The price for things are on more of the costly side with it being Aspen but there are some decently priced places to eat and shop.

No lift lines basically any time of day which was a nice surprise. Same went for opening day at Aspen Highlands, no lift lines! Great weather and the snow was solid while we were there. Would go again!

Snowmass is our favorite resort and have been going there every year for several years. It has gotten more and more pricey, but that is everywhere. Snowmass mountain is very large with slopes for all ski levels. You can ski here for a week to 10 days and never get bored!
