Aspen Mountain Ski Area
Aspen, Colorado

Aspen Mountain is best known for steep bump runs that drop directly into the town of Aspen. With no slopes rated as "Beginner," this isn't a mountain to learn on but rather, one to hone your skills on. Since 1947, anyone who has dared step off the lifts here has been served with incredible black-diamond and double black-diamond steeps, bumps and glades. And if it's powder you want, take the Powder Tour: luxury snowcats will take you to some prime, untracked country on the backside of the mountain. Fresh tracks are guaranteed and gourmet lunch is included.
