Either drive or fly into Aspen and the surrounding area and you will discover best skiing around. There is a huge selection of terrain, running anywhere from green to double black, powder to groomed trails to halfpipes. IF for some reason you can't find a run you like on the mountain you're at, try one of the THREE other mountains your lift ticket is good at. Nobody can can say the skiing is limited. The area is also great for snowboarding. Snowmass features a halfpipe and snowboard park. If you're a beginner, try out the best Ski/Snowboard school in the country. When you're done skiing you can head into town which, despite its popularity, retains a small-town feel. There is plenty of shopping, and lots of great restaurants. But maybe the best thing, in my five years of going there I have never seen a lift line exceed three minutes.
Pros: Great Cuisine, FOUR mountains, Scenic
