Snowmass, Colorado, USA
Looking for vertical? Snowmass mountain has it. At 4406 vertical feet, Snowmass has the most in the United States. Whilst Aspen mountain has the steeps, Buttermilk has wonderful wide open terrain and Aspen Highlands has secret stashes of powder, Snowmass has all of these rolled up into one stonking resort.
The great thing about Snowmass is that there is terrain for all abilities accessed from nearly all parts of the mountain. This is why Snowmass is such a fantastic resort for groups and families where satisfying mixed abilities is a key ingredient. Start out the day together at the new base village and head up to Elk Camp and Big Burn areas of Snowmass. Here you can part ways. For those needing to get their fix of the steep and deep, it is a hop and a skip to the trees, steeps and cliffs of The Cirque and Hanging Valley areas. Join back up for lunch at Elk Camp restaurant and re-live your stories
