The Very Best

I first skied around Aspen in 1964-65. Since then I've been to more ski areas than I can count.
I guess I first skied Snowmass in the late 60's, and I just keep coming back. Wish I would have bought a house here!, but I love to try new things...so I've tried and tried, but everyplace else is just an also ran compared to this place.

- Pros: huge, solitary runs, varied terrain
