Snowmass is the most family-friendly mountain, featuring long cruisers, beginner areas, and intermediate runs spread across 3,342 acres. Families and beginners can head to Elk Camp and the Big Burn, offering wide-open blue runs and gentle slopes perfect for learning. The Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center in Snowmass Village is a perfect starting point for families looking for childcare and lessons.</p>
<p>For advanced and expert skiers, Aspen Mountain offers steep terrain with no beginner runs, and Aspen Highlands is known for its expert-only Highland Bowl, featuring some of the steepest in-bounds skiing in North America. Buttermilk, home to the Winter X Games, is famous for its terrain parks and gentle slopes, making it an ideal spot for beginner skiers and those looking to hone their freestyle skills. Across all four mountains, there&rsquo;s something for everyone, whether you're looking for perfectly groomed trails, backcountry-style powder stashes, or challenging steeps.</p>

<p>On a powder day, head straight to Aspen Highlands' Highland Bowl for epic, untouched snow and steep pitches that will test even the most experienced skiers. Snowmass also offers plenty of hidden powder stashes, especially in the Hanging Valley Glades and the Burnt Mountain area. If you want to avoid the crowds, explore the less frequented terrain of Buttermilk, where you'll find fresh tracks in a more relaxed atmosphere.</p>
<p>For apr&egrave;s-ski, Aspen&rsquo;s downtown is the place to be. Iconic spots like the Ajax Tavern, located at the base of Aspen Mountain, offer the perfect place to unwind with a drink and watch the sun set over the mountains. Insider tip: If you're looking for a more laid-back vibe, head to the Woody Creek Tavern, a local favorite just a short drive from Aspen. And for those looking to ski under the radar, try the Snowmass Elk Camp gondola late in the day&mdash;perfect for catching sunset runs with fewer skiers.</p>
