Aspen Mountain Resort is where skiing began on Ajax Mountain back in 1947 when they opened the world’s longest ski lift of the time. While the Aspen’s first resort might not be the biggest in the area, its lack of beginner terrain makes it a favorite for intermediate and expert skiers and snowboarders. Aspen Mountain’s 673 acres are 48% intermediate and 52% expert skiing.

Don’t worry about pushing yourself too hard on the slopes though, because Aspen Mountain’s lifts rise from downtown Aspen, you can ski or ride the fantastic terrain and then stroll the shops, restaurants and taverns of town in your ski boots. Also, as you ride the gondola up the hill to the top of Ajax Mountain, don’t forget to turn around and take in the exceptional views as the streets of downtown shrink underneath you.

At Ski Aspen Colorado, we can plan your complete vacation for you. Don’t forget that we offer the finest vacation planning services available for your trip, including lift tickets that service all four Aspen area ski resorts.
