Aspen Ski Terrain
This is one of the best ski resorts in Colorado for skiing steep, groomed runs. With more than 3,000 feet of vertical accessible from the gondola, there is enough terrain to give you a work out if you can make it from top to bottom. There are some great moguls scattered around Aspen. Bell mountain usually has plenty of bumps that are soft and well formed.
There are some easy ways to get down the mountain here, but this is not a ski resort for beginner skiers. Experts only here; if you are a new skier try out Buttermilk Mountain which is located right down the road from aspen.
