 Aspen
Mountain / Ajax, Colorado - Aspen Mountain IS Aspen.
Rising above town, the mountain - aka Ajax - is often known
as the playpen of the rich and famous (and for good reason)
but it does feature some excellent terrain for all ability
levels. Littered with steeps and bumps, Aspen Mountain has
fantastic groomed intermediate runs as well.
Aspen Mountain Powder Tours is a great
choice for experts as it provides access to hundreds of
acres of terrain off the backside of the mountain. A gourmet
lunch is included in the deal. Eight restaurants are scattered
throughout the mountain.
Aspen town is known as THE place to be
seen by the glitterati. Don't be surprised if you bump into
a movie personality as you stroll by the high-end shops
and boutiques.
One fact about Aspen and Aspen Mountain
is that that they are not inexpensive. The facilities are
world class and the skiing is top notch but make sure you
bring your wallet.
