"Very great service from Aspen Skiing Company management. I forgot my backpack in the locker room on 1/10 and came back to get it on 1/11. I was very worried because my wallet was inside, but the management solved the problem very quickly. Special shout-out to the Guest Services ladies at Buttermilk — they were so kind and helpful. Truly appreciate the support and professionalism!"

"Steep slopes and nice city; mountain views from the lifts are just fabulous: this year the snow was not a whole lot but they have high end retail shops at the base of the ski area."

"Known locally as Ajax we visited in summer when it had shed its white winter furry coat and becomes a 11k ft green sanctuary. Offering blue-grass at the weekends, gondola rides and of course fresh mountain air. What’s not to like! Surprisingly busy!"

"Aspen is my all time favorite place to ski, because of the abundance of snow and challenging terrain. Some of the best powder I have ever skied in. The snow is incredible. Only downside is the scarcity of real ski in-ski out accommodations. I recommend the Shadow Mountain condos which are truly slope side. You can ski up to the condos, within 10 feet of the door."

"What a place! Good snow quality and even better when you get 4-5 inches of fresh powder snow. You can share the ski pass with the other mountains. A must even it's expensive during holidays."

"Fantastic skiing and fantastic vibe (and absolutely stunning) — I only warn that it is a more difficult mountain for beginners If you’re a beginner, maybe start at Snowmass or Buttermilk (which are just a brief shuttle/bus-ride away)"

"Very nice ski resort, with helpful and friendly staff. The Gondolas were well maintained and clean. As well the ride to the top of Ajax mountain was very pleasant with the breathtaking scenery all around you. The Sundeck restaurant at the top is a great spot to warm up or take in a luncheon as you overlook the city of Aspen and all the beautiful surrounding mountains."
