General Comments/Likes

This is America’s ski town. Friendly locals, amazing dining, nightlife and shopping all in a tight knit area of an original mining town.

The ski hill has narrower trails, like the ski areas of old, adding to the “feel” of a historical, classic ski experience.

If someone tells you Aspen is NOT friendly, it’s probably because they arrived with a attitude. This is where the old money skis and the locals really don’t care if you are a mega star or a Dude on a bender.

Dislikes

Finding a wash room near the lifts always seems like a hastle. At my age, I need quick access to the can.

Lift lines can be a problem, but if you ski smart and not like a sheep, they can be avoided.
