Aspen Snowmass - Community Reviews & Ratings

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)

This resort has 4 ski areas each with its own excellent characteristics, varyiable terrain and well documented slope presentations

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!

We love Aspen Snowmass. Have skiied it a few times, and the snow has always been great! They make sure to keep it well groomed in the important areas and have a great park!

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!

Amazing experience at Snowmass, unforgettable. Great powder and groomed trails. Some of the best ski lifts Ive been on. Both family friendly and good for younger skiers/snowboarders who want more liveliness.

4 mountains to choose from means endless terrain and options for every level of skier and rider. Staff is so friendly and helpful, and everything runs smoothly.

Great powder skiing if you know where to look. The groomed trails are done very well and they allow sections of powder to remain on half of groomed runs on powder days. Lift lines can get long but, theyre efficient at moving the lines. The new Coney Express lift should help lower congestion at the base too

Amazing ski resort. Just be careful not to do over do après. Aspen Highlands has amazing runs, but if beginner/intermediate should check buttermilk first day then head out to the real thing. The gastronomic offer is amazing, après and nightlife as well. Personally a more adult vibe than family friendly, on my end. Yet it is more than the flare of glamour and hype, it definitely has originality, history and charm.

Aspen Snowmass is amazing, but expensive. My favorite part of Aspen Snowmass is the variety. You have access to 4 different mountains, so there really are options for everyone. Aspen has more steep terrain and LOTS of bowls, while snowmass is a little more family friendly.

Snowmass Mountain has the most variety, and your ski pass includes a voucher for a lunch in the mountain so be sure to use that!

Aspen Snowmass technically has 4 mountains to choose from, all with different pros/cons. Aspen Highlands happens to be my favorite with more advanced terrain including plenty of tree runs, well kept moguls and a chance to hike for pristine bowl skiing and powder. Ajax is the closest to downtown Aspen with the best aprés options, Buttermilk houses the terrain parks (where the X Games are held, and Snowmass offers the widest variety of terrain and has a more family-friendly feel.

Its a great wide open mountain with all sorts of terrain. I personally like Elk Camp area. Rolling hills with trees and lots of open space.

Amazing terrain, great vibes, but expensive price tags! The snowboarding in and of itself is amazing from the varied nature to it and something for everyone across the four mountains. But everything from the travel to the lodging to the food will break the bank. Worth it though!

One of my favorite place to ski and spend my spring vacation. Its got all levels of slopes for all levels of skiers. Was really interesting using a poma lift for the first time to the top of the mountain Staff and coaches super friendly and nice. The town is beautiful and clean. Excited to return
