Aspen Highlands Ski Resort

This mountain has a really interesting layout as it is linear and follows a long ridge. I love the variety of runs, and the pictures are perfect for snowboarder wants to go fast and just have a blast.

The highlight for me was hiking the ridge and dropping down into their bowl. Phenomenal snow even 3 days after a storm.

Best skiing in NA. Highlands is steep tho, beware the double black of highlands.

Skied the Aspen Highlands on the last weekend of the ski season. Not all of the expert terrain was opened. The snow wasn't great either unless you stuck to the groomers, but I did recognize how fast, narrow, and beautiful this mountain is. There are also tons of great tree and steep expert level skiing here as well. We haven't tried Buttermilk yet (it's mostly beginner terrain and park skiing), but we can all say that Snowmass, Ajax, and the Highlands are how we would rank the Aspen Snowmass mountains. All three mountains are tons of fun, making Aspen Snowmass our favorite ski area in the country, everything considered.

That steep Highlands Bowl! Hike up (to 12.3K) & have fun cruising back down. No snowcat running on my visit, but it’s only a quick little lap around the bottom of the hike.

From the top of Loge Peak lift (11675 ft) it’s about 700 vertical feet to hike to the summit. The first stretch you can glide down before taking off your skis/board & de-layering for the hike. Seems like 30/45 min would be a fast hike and 1-1:15 is a little slower pace to reach the summit depending on your fitness and acclimatization to the elevation.

Overall great runs and steep terrain. Did some laps on the runs after hiking & skiing the bowl. Love this place and wish I could visit more often. Not much for greens. If you like it steep, go here and Snowmass.

Sometimes the snow gods speak to a mountain and it's one of the best powder days you've ever had. And not just me. All of us hungry creatures who just came out of the bowl for beers and burgers agreed it was a stellar day.

Great mountain, but catered mainly to hard terrain (double blacks). My fiancé did the highland bowl. It was awesome, but the hike up was the scariest part. Very thin/steep trail to hike on. I spent my time on blues and single blacks. I found the Patrol staff to be some of the friendliest ski patrol I've ever met. Got into a ton of conversations with various ski patrolers and got some great on mountain recommendations from them. Views from their cabin next to highland bowl are stunning! Stop by and say hello 🤗 Follow my Google profile for more reviews!

Beautiful, well-kept slopes. Amazing place to ski!

Excellent service from the rescue team, everyone was very friendly!

Aspen highlands has some real great terrain for intermediate and advanced skiers. I was lucky to be there after a storm that dumped about a feet. The bowls and glades that day were simply out of the world

Absolutely adored this ski resort! This was my favorite mountain in Aspen so far. Shoutout to four mountain sports and the tune lab for getting me in for a quick sharpen (special thank to Justin stove and Zach). Made sure I had a great time! Thanks highlands!!

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Dan and Pixie for their amazing kindness and support to help guide me to ski down Aspen Highlands on Monday, 12/12/2022. I am from the East Coast so skiing is totally different in the Rocky Mountains. I was leaving the fabulous Cloud Nine Bistro and I was looking for an easier route down the mountain through the beautiful Winter Wonderland. Dan and Pixie, Community Ambassadors embraced me with heartwarming courtesy, respect and helpful tips. I highly recommend them and the Aspen Highlands Ski Resort. You helped build my confidence and I loved the challenge. It was truly an incredible Aspen experience!

This is definitely a mountain for the locals! Lots of challenging terrain and stunning views. There is a bowl that you have to hike up to... I suppose they don't have a lift there because they want to preserve the snow for those that are willing to make the climb

Great views and wonderful terrain! Highlands bowl is a must if you are experienced. Once at the peak, take in the views. It's so worth it!

Best of all 4 mountains in Aspen for an advanced/ expert skier. Challenging terrain, beautiful trees everywhere and nice scenery. Famous hike up place to go and enjoy the best ski of your life (highland bowl)

One of the best ski resorts in Colorado if your looking for steep terrain. Great layout with little need for traversing and you're always at most 1 run from the base. If your skill level permits, hike to the Highland bowl for a bowl skiing experience like none other in the state. Steep and long and wide open. It takes around 45 minutes but it's worth it. The views from the top are tremendous. Only drawbacks of the resort in general is how expensive it is. But go to Buttermilk if you're a beginner, there are no greens at Highlands.

Amazing!!!! Even with low snow this season- it was great! No easy runs so kept out the “I don’t know how to ski, but I am here because my boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancé made me” people

Great Mountain. Highlands Bowl is the icing on the cake.

Great variety of terrain and expansive when you consider all four resorts. The town has a luxe feel that differs from many of the other Colorado resorts.

Great pizza! Good beer selection! Awesome views! Not sure what else you really need on the slopes

Wicked good terrain and views here. This place is for Advanced and Expert skiers for sure. Beginners wouldn’t likely have the greatest day on this terrain. Easy parking and on mountain access yet be prepared to pay unless you have HOV with four or more skiers.
