4) Aspen, Colorado
Even those who have never strapped on a pair of skis have heard of Aspen, Colorado. The Winter Wonderland favoured by the rich and famous, Aspen is the ski town all other ski towns want to be. Highly sophisticated, Aspen offers more than just ski with a huge number of designer boutiques, art galleries and five-star restaurants all competing for a taste of your Mastercard. The views at Aspen are unbeatably picturesque, framed always by the majestic Colorado Rockies. There are 673 acres of skiable area on Aspen Mountain and 76 runs, the longest of which is 3 miles. With zero green runs, Aspen Mountain is more suited to experienced skiers and is one of the most consistently steep areas in Colorado but nearby Buttermilk is more first-time friendly.
