It is now possible to stay both in original Aspen, nearby Snowmass or Aspen Highlands. The pistes are expanded each year and new or updated lifts regularly come into operation.

When to fly to Aspen

Peak season:

The winter ski season starts earlier in Aspen and Snowmass than the lower-lying Buttermilk and Aspen Highlands. Generally speaking the two larger resorts open at the end of November and the lower ones in the middle of December. Aspen isn’t a cheap resort and prices tend to stay high throughout the entire winter season due to the excellent snow cover.

Off season:

The summer months here are almost as popular as the winter ones due to the extent of outdoor activities. The best time for deals on accommodation is during the autumn period, when visitors arrive to see the changing leaf colours.
