Buttermilk Ski Resort
Ski resort
Buttermilk Ski Resort is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere for beginners and families, as well as its impressive terrain parks. Nestled in the picturesque Aspen, Colorado, Buttermilk boasts a significant amount of light, dry snowfall each season, which typically runs from December to early April. The terrain is predominantly beginner-friendly, with plenty of gentle slopes that are perfect for those just starting out. However, it also features the legendary X Games Aspen terrain park, which caters to more advanced freestyle skiers and snowboarders. While there are no dedicated backcountry areas within the resort, the surrounding region offers backcountry opportunities for experienced adventurers. Cross country trails are available in the vicinity, but not directly at Buttermilk. The resort does not offer night skiing. The lift system is modern and efficient, helping to minimize wait times. The views from the resort are stunning, with panoramic vistas of the surrounding Elk Mountains. Buttermilk is very family-friendly, with ski and snowboard schools and a welcoming atmosphere for children. Other winter activities include ice skating, snowshoeing, and snow tubing, though these are offered at the broader Aspen Snowmass area rather than at Buttermilk itself. Snowmobiling and sledding are also popular in the Aspen area, providing a full suite of winter activities for visitors.
