| While best known as the locals' favorite among the four Aspen ski areas for advanced and expert skiers and riders, Aspen Highlands actually has more green and blue terrain than black and double black diamonds. Relaxed and gentle Buttermilk is just across the street as well so it is easy to please groups of mixed abilities at Highlands. Aspen Highlands is actually a long ridgeline, ascending between the Castle Creek and Maroon Creek valleys. Its steeps drop off the sides of the ridge toward the valleys below. Beginners and intermediates can enjoy the long, rolling trails that run along the ridge itself. With an Aspen area lift ticket, skiers and riders can hit the slopes of Highlands as well as choose from Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk and the big daddy, Snowmass. Just three miles from the center of Aspen town, Highlands is a must for anyone who wants to enjoy the complete Aspen experience. | |
