Aspen Mountain is a large resort located in Aspen, Colorado. To the locals, this mountain is known affectionately as Ajax, and is also the most advanced exclusive of the 4 Aspen mountains. With no beginner slopes, you will find it exhilarating. Eight lifts (6 primary, 2 secondary) take you to some of the best glades, moguls and pitches around. The... general layout of the mountain has advanced and expert terrain offshoots from a network of intermediate trails. While every lift has an intermediate trail in which to fall back on, this seems to be just an easy way to get to a preferred expert glade or pitch. Aspen Mountain has a great view and dining on its sundeck at the peak. Also look out for the famous outdoor shrines (e.g. of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and Jerry Garcia).
Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass are also accessible with an Aspen lift ticket and worth exploring! Read more

Don't buy your tickets from Liftopia. You can get the same tickets from Aspen for the same cost (sans meal coupons - I'm not Ron White and I don't need coupons) and they send you a canned email when you ask for a refund.

If your a beginner, Buttermilk is the spot. Snowmass & Aspen Highlands rock!

Aspen actually surprised me. I didnt expect to like it, but it is a really cool town and the mountain has very sustained vertical drop. Lots of bumps!
