USA
Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado
When Aussies think, "Ski USA", we
quite often think Aspen - one of Americas largest and most popular ski resorts.

Don’t be overawed by its glitzy perceptions however, Aspen/Snowmass offers value for money lodges through to luxurious condominiums. Choose to stay in Aspen Village or Snowmass Village, just 19km from each other. Aspen is an old mining town dating back to 1878. Its old facades have been turned into amazing hotels, restaurants, bars and shops. It has a truly cosmopolitan ambience.
In contrast, Snowmass is a beautiful alpine village tucked into a lovely valley away from the world, but still only 20mins drive from Aspen. Most of the accommodation offers ski-in/ski-out and the village has a unique family feel.
4 Mountains – 1 Lift Ticket! Skiing Aspen/Snowmass offers you 4 world class mountains within a 19km radius - Aspen, Snowmass, Highlands and Buttermilk - each with its own secrets, treasures and traditions. Our prices include skiing on all of these mountains on the one lift ticket. |
