Aspen Highlands is the local's favorite mountain due to the fact that
it is not nearly as tourist infected as the other 3 Aspen mountains.
It is not necessarily the tourists that are the problem, but the other
3 mountains have changed a lot to fit the tourist needs. Aspen Highlands,
on the other hand, has been unadulterated.
Editors Note: The Highlands has terrain suited for any level
of skiing/snowboarding with % of each difficulty well spread out. For
those of you who like the extreme stuff, Aspen Highlands certainly can
take care of your appetite as well.
