    Location & Getting There

    Positioned in the heart of Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, Aspen Mountain rises directly from downtown Aspen's doorstep. This unique ski-in/ski-out access to a world-class town sets it apart from other mountain destinations. Just 3 miles from Aspen/Pitkin County Airport and 220 miles from Denver International Airport, the mountain combines accessibility with the feeling of an alpine escape. The surrounding White River National Forest creates a stunning backdrop for year-round outdoor adventures.

    Season Info

    While famous for its winter skiing from late November through mid-April, Aspen Mountain transforms into a summer playground from June to October. Winter brings an average of 300 inches of annual snowfall across varied terrain. Summer visitors enjoy hiking trails, mountaintop yoga, and scenic gondola rides with panoramic views of the Elk Mountain Range. The changing seasons paint the landscape in dramatic colors, from winter's pristine white to autumn's golden aspen groves.
