Aspen Colorado - Enjoy Your Winter Visit
With world-class shopping, a thriving nightlife scene, wonderful lodging options, as well as the country's best ski resorts all in just a few miles, Aspen, Colorado is the premier destination for those seeking an exciting winter getaway.
Although mostly referred to as a backyard 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 will find within this Rocky Mountain resort town.
Why don't we cover the 3 basics associated with a vacation to Aspen, Colorado: shopping, nightlife, and skiing.
Aspen, Colorado nightlife.
If you want an informal, laid-back hotel bar with affordable drinks and friendly service. So enjoy your trip to Copper Mountain.
Just kidding. Try not to expect the libations being cheap in Aspen. That is the price you'll buy the privilege of ordering a draft of Fat Tire alongside somebody like say, oh, Seal. (the singer, not the animal.)
The J-Bar at the Hotel Jerome is among the many Aspen locations in which you might run into the rich and famous. The bar at the Little Nell is another the location where the well-heeled play. For any little more local flavor, (and spots a bit lighter around the wallet), try the Aspen Brewing Company (sort of touristy), or Zane's. (More sports-oriented.)

Shopping
Galena Street downtown, right smack down the middle of Aspen, is the hub for world-class shopping. Be it charming, unique boutiques, the most recent in trendy ski wear, fabulous jewelry designers, or famous, exclusive stores, you'll leave Aspen looking much better than when you arrived. Perhaps the consignment stores listed below are classy. Clothes not your priority? What, have you been insane? Well i guess, then enjoy the numerous art and home furnishing stores that dot the charming pedestrian malls of downtown Aspen.
Skiing
By the way. Aspen has skiing too. The key resort is Aspen Mountain, or as some locals (and tourists who try too much) refer to it as: 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 50 % of the runs at Aspen. For any slower experience, drop the road a bit, to Aspen's quieter little sister, Buttermilk, where gently sloping hills dominate. Aspen Highlands provides the best views, and has really a relaxed vibe. You are able to ski in jeans here (like real Coloradoans often do.) Our final resort, Snowmass, is quite warm and friendly. The 21 lifts and acres of terrain will ensure which everybody in the family - from green snow bunny to double-diamond stud - will have a great time.
