There is a reason why the rich and famous have made Aspen/Snowmass their home. It is one the most beautiful places in CO. Summer and winter. Snowmass is the best of the four resorts. It has steeps, bowls, fast groomers, and awesome scenery. Snowmass lacks nightlife. Most people go to Aspen to party. Aspen Mtn (a.k.a. Ajax) is right downtown. Ajax is steep and mostly a skier's mountain. Boarders will find Snowmass perfect. I've boarded throughout CO all my life, and Snowmass is one of my favorite. Awesome natural terrain. People can be snobby. I had two fur coat wearing skiers refuse to ride the chairlift with me cuz I was on a snowboard. Hmm... you get the idea.
Pros: great snow, minimal lift lines, scenery
Cons: , pompous people
