ASPEN MOUNTAIN Ski Resort Guide Aspen Colorado Ikon Pass | Snowboard Traveler

Aspen Mountain, originally named Ajax, was the first of four ski resorts owned by Aspen Skiing Company to open in Colorado. At 675 acres it’s relatively small but it actually rides much larger. There are no easy runs here with 50% intermediate, 25% difficult, and 25% expert. Incredibly, the resort didn’t allow snowboarders until 2001 but the ridges, chutes, and unique terrain make Aspen Mountain an awesome place for riding.

    @@snowboardtraveler In the beginning it's fairly easy then 50-60% in gets flat, but if your skies are wax it's okay. Now going from Solitude to Brighton is easy and no flat parts at all. It's just from Brighton to Solitude, but for free parking it's worth it 😁. In addition, Solitude is only 1200 acres can ski the major runs in under half a day. The Summit Express Lift tends to bottle neck on a busy day. Plenty of tree skiing on that side. Best of all Solitude is unlimited access with the Ikon Pass. By the way I love your videos 🏂💯.

    Skiig on Alpi italiane is so much better because of much steeper slopes, perfect grooming, ski towns and food. For snowboarding US is much better because of powder that in Italy is rare and dangerous

    Aspen has four mountains with Buttermilk considered the best for beginners. We are posting that review video this Thursday. Snowmass also has a learning area at elk camp, just up the gondola. The other two, aspen mountain and highlands really don’t have beginner terrain.

    The snow has been pretty low so far but there are 10 inches in the forecast this week which should help open more terrain. Still fun, just expect less to be open and early season conditions.
