Aspen Ski Vacation

Aspen Mountain has long been known as the playpen of the rich and famous – and it is.   But it is also a great place to take a family ski vacation.   Christmas in Aspen is especially wonderful!   Aspen Mountain rises above the town of Aspen, with a top elevation
of 11215 feet and a vertical drop of 3269 feet.   There are 76 trails suitable for beginners, intermediates, and experts, accessible by eight lifts, including seven chair lifts and one
cable car line.

****Thousands of people get injured while skiing every year.  Here's how you can avoid that.****

While Aspen has much to offer skiers, as well as those who enjoy the night life in a ski town, you should expect lots of crowds and lift lines on the slopes.   Again, this is the

playpen of the rich and famous, and many people choose

this ski vacation spot simply for that reason – as well as

for the great runs and nightlife.

There are numerous places to stay in and around Aspen, with more than 100 restaurants to choose from as well.   Ski instructions and equipment rental are abundant in the area, and snowboarders are welcome.
