Buttermilk Mountain

Buttermilk is a premier beginners’ mountain, one of the best places in America to learn how to ski. The smallest of Aspen’s four mountains with 470 skiable acres, it has 44 trails, which the resort rates at 35 percent easiest, 39 percent more difficult, 26 percent most difficult, and none expert, plus a great terrain park. Buttermilk is usually open from mid-December to early April, its lifts running from 9am to 3:30pm.
