Aspen Colorado - Enjoy Your Winter Visit

With world-class shopping, a thriving nightlife scene, wonderful lodging options, and the country's best ski resorts all within a few miles, Aspen, Colorado is the premier place to go for those seeking a thrilling winter getaway.

Although mostly referred to as a backyard winter recreation hub, Aspen offers something for everybody. Luxurious spas, theatre, shopping (yes we mentioned that again), and highly-rated restaurants some of the attractions you will find within this Rocky Mountain resort town.

Why don't we cover the 3 basics of the visit to Aspen, Colorado: shopping, nightlife, and skiing.

Aspen, Colorado nightlife.

If you want a friendly, laid-back hotel bar with affordable drinks and friendly service. So enjoy your vacation to Copper Mountain.

Just kidding. But don't expect the libations to become cheap in Aspen. That is the price you'll purchase the privilege of ordering a draft of Fat Tire alongside somebody like say, oh, Seal. (the singer, not your pet.)

The J-Bar at the Hotel Jerome is probably the many Aspen locations where you might run to the famous and rich. The bar at the Little Nell is yet another where the well-heeled play. For any a bit more local flavor, (and spots a little lighter on the wallet), try the Aspen Brewing Company (kind of touristy), or Zane's. (More sports-oriented.)

Shopping

Galena Street downtown, right smack down the middle of Aspen, is the hub for world-class shopping. Whether it's charming, unique boutiques, the latest in trendy ski wear, fabulous jewelry designers, or famous, exclusive stores, you'll leave Aspen looking much better than whenever you arrived. Even the consignment stores listed below are classy. Clothes not your priority? What, have you been insane? Well i guess, then enjoy the many art and home furnishing stores that dot the charming pedestrian malls of downtown Aspen.

Skiing

Oh yeah. Aspen has skiing too. The primary resort is Aspen Mountain, or as some locals (and tourists who try way too hard) think of it as: Ajax.

Founded in 1947, Aspen mountain continues to be thrilling (and scaring) skiers on a few of the steepest, most awe-inspiring terrain around. Runs marked "Most Difficult" and "Expert" make-up over 50 % of the runs at Aspen. To get a slower experience, decrease the path a bit, to Aspen's quieter little sister, Buttermilk, where gently sloping hills dominate. Aspen Highlands provides the best views, and contains really a casual vibe. You are able to ski in jeans here (like real Coloradoans often do.) Our final resort, Snowmass, is quite family friendly. The 21 lifts and acres of terrain will make sure that everybody in the family - from green snow bunny to double-diamond stud - will have a great time.
