Surrounded by Epic Riding

From Carbondale, head east to Aspen/Snowmass and you can choose from for different ski mountains. Aspen Mountain is located in downtown Aspen. With its steeps and bumps, it’s a mountain for intermediate to expert skiers. Aspen Highlands has been a locals’ favorite for years, because of its expert terrain, groomed cruisers and the infamous Highland Bowl. Buttermilk is known as the premier mountain for beginners with its wide rolling trails, but there are also black diamond runs for advanced skiers and snowboarders, as well as a challenging terrain park. Snowmass has something for everyone - cruisers, steeps, terrain parks and half-pipes. It’s often rated on of the best family resorts in the U.S. If you're in the need of some ski & snowboard rentals, visit the Incline Ski Shop in Aspen or Snowmass.

Sunlight Mountain Resort, 12 miles south of Glenwood Springs, offers an uncomplicated trail system with a variety of terrain for beginner to expert skiers and riders. All the trails lead back to the main lodge, so it’s easily navigable for families. The laid-back, friendly resort also has trails for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
