Aspen Colorado - Enjoy Your Winter Visit
With world-class shopping, a thriving nightlife scene, wonderful lodging options, and the country's best ski resorts all inside a few miles, Aspen, Colorado is the premier place to go for those seeking a fantastic winter getaway.
Although mostly known as an outdoors winter recreation hub, Aspen offers something for all. Luxurious spas, theatre, shopping (yes we mentioned that again), and highly-rated restaurants are just some of the attractions you'll find on this Rocky Mountain resort town.
Let's quickly cover these basics of the visit to Aspen, Colorado: shopping, nightlife, and skiing.
Aspen, Colorado nightlife.
If you want a casual, laid-back hotel bar with affordable drinks and friendly service. So enjoy your trip to Copper Mountain.
Just kidding. Such as the expect the libations to become cheap in Aspen. That's the price you'll pay for the privilege of ordering a draft of Fat Tire next to somebody like say, oh, Seal. (the singer, not the pet.)
The J-Bar on the Hotel Jerome is one of the many Aspen locations in places you might run in to the famous and rich. The bar on the Little Nell is yet another in which the well-heeled play. For a a bit more local flavor, (and spots a bit lighter around the wallet), try the Aspen Brewing Company (type of touristy), or Zane's. (More sports-oriented.)
Shopping
Galena Street downtown, right smack in the middle of Aspen, is your hub for world-class shopping. Whether it's charming, unique boutiques, the latest in trendy ski wear, fabulous jewelry designers, or famous, exclusive stores, you'll leave Aspen looking better than when you arrived. The consignment stores listed below are classy. Clothes not your priority? What, have you been insane? Oh well, then benefit from the myriad of art and home furnishing stores that dot the charming pedestrian malls of downtown Aspen.
Skiing
By the way. Aspen has skiing too. The main resort is Aspen Mountain, or as some locals (and tourists who try too hard) call it: Ajax.
Founded in 1947, Aspen mountain may be thrilling (and scaring) skiers on some of the steepest, most awe-inspiring terrain around. Runs marked "Most Difficult" and "Expert" make up over 1 / 2 of the runs at Aspen. To get a slower experience, go down the street a little, to Aspen's quieter little sister, Buttermilk, where gently sloping hills dominate. Aspen Highlands offers the best views, and has more of a relaxed vibe. You can ski in jeans here (like real Coloradoans often do.) Our final resort, Snowmass, is very family friendly. The 21 lifts and acres of terrain will ensure that everybody in the household - from green snow bunny to double-diamond stud - could have a good time.
