Headed to Aspen next weekend. Week before X Games mess. Going to ski Highlands Saturday (unless Aspen Mt is better?). Staying at Snowmass.

Best bars? Food? Any must see or do stuff?
 
Highlands is dope snowmass was my favorite out of all of them, hit up cloud 9 at highlands place is a blast, belly up for some live music downtown aspen. Zane’s bar and Eric’s are dope spots downtown I would ski snowmass and highlands and spend my nightlife downtown aspen. Place is awesome man you will have a blast. Just a little pricy... ha

Sweet! Right on man. Yeah hotels set us back like $500 so not trying to go super crazy at night. Thanks for the bar info!
 
I like to start my day off at Gucci, before I make my way over to Louis Vuitton. I then head over to Ralph Lauren followed by a quick stop to Dior. I finish it off by getting iced out at Meridian before heading over to Lululemon where I laugh at all the poor people who actually shop there. Hope this helps

Wife will be there.
 
If you don't have a pool/hot tub poach the one at Sky by city market. Zane's is probably the cheapest option. I dig the little bar by clarks.

Highlands is dope af, ajax is pretty fucking dope, snowmass is chill and has good parks. Buttermilk isn't really worth riding imo. Good spot but not nearly worth it over the other options.

Belly Up is an awesome venue but not really anything great next weekend. You may end up blacking out at mi chola for no reason.

Rfta runs all around up there fo free. Take advantage of that shit. Not super fast to aspen but not bad. Also can connect at buttermilk for a shuttle to highlands. Or transfer at a bus stop to the other line.

Have fun, hope you get some snow. Highlands is one of my favorite places I've ridden and Ajax isdope and slips under the radar.
 
I like ajax over highlands personally, but if it's a pow day go highlands no doubt. Snowmass is dank rn, definitely hit it up if you have time.

slow groovin' in snowmass village has a really good happy hour and good poutine. Fuel has good breakfast burritos.

Food depends on your budget- for cheaper stuff NYC Pizza, CP Burger, and Big Wrap in aspen are good.

If you go to the hot springs down valley, go to iron mountain instead of the glenwood pool, less people & better time. Otherwise there's also hot springs in redstone that are roadside.

whatever you end up doing, enjoy! it's such a sick place.

Thanks for the hot spring info, seems like those you mentioned are all pay to go ones. Wife and I have been to a few throughout the west that are super remote. We don’t like pay ones and people. Any non pay ones? Besides the ones just south of Aspen that are a 9 mile/4,000’ vert skin this time of year?
 
Just got back from my weekend there.

Skied Highlands Saturday And Snowmass Sunday morning. Both skied amazing. Snow was great. Crowds were actually not bad at all. No lines.

I enjoyed the town. Place is expensive and fancy as all hell. Makes my home town of Park City look like a trailer park. But it was fun even though costly.

I didn’t end up at any of the spots recommended. We did a few drinks and food at the Little Nell which was great. Wish I stayed there instead of the crap Snowmass Hotel. We also ended up in some basement bar, Silver City Salloon. That place was sweet.

But cool place. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!
