In Short – Underneath the glamour of fine food and celebrities, Aspen has a hometown, comfortable feel with friendly locals who are proud of their community. In winter, visitors ski Aspen Mountain for its perfect high-speed cruising and elegant bumping. Other activities include ice climbing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. For summer, there's mountain biking and four-wheeling. A healthy dose of culture can be found at venues such as the Aspen Art Museum and the historic Wheeler Opera House.
