Aspen and Snowmass Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Aspen was a real community long before it was a ski—and celebrity—mecca. Technically four ski areas (Aspen, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk), Aspen has a cachet few other towns can claim. But you don't have to be rich and famous to enjoy the place. And, as you'll discover, there's just as much to do in Aspen when the ground is sans snow.
