Aspen Highlands Overview

Region Wide Comparison
 

Area Profile

Aspen Highlands is a 12,500-foot mountain with ambiance and attitude. It is meant to be skied - hard. With 970 acres to play in and a 3,635-foot vertical, the mountain is skewed to the advanced skier and is constantly looking for ways to further challenge those who come here to do just that. Deep Temerity, a speedy triple chair, climbs 1,700 vertical feet in a little over seven minutes and accesses acres of new advanced and expert landscape. There is plenty of mid-mountain easier terrain to practice on before hitting the steeps. But for the locals, it's Highland Bowl - an off-piste thrill ride which culminates in untracked descents down 45-degree pitches.
