Aspen Highlands
A favorite of locals for its expert and adventure terrain—Highland Bowl—Aspen Highlands has the feel of a small resort. It also has a good mix of terrain, from novice to expert, with lots of intermediate slopes on its 1,040 acres. It also offers absolutely splendid views of the famed Maroon Bells.
It takes two lifts to reach the 11,675-foot Loge Peak summit, where most of the advanced expert runs are found in the Steeplechase area and 199 acres of glades in the Olympic Bowl. Several blue trails give the intermediate skier a long run from top to bottom, and novices are best served midmountain on trails like Red Onion and Apple Strudel. There are also some fantastic opportunities for experts at Highland Bowl, which is a short walk from the top of the Loge Peak lift. Highlands is usually open from mid-December to early April, with lifts operating from 9am to 3:30pm.
