Buttermilk Mountain
 Home of the ESPN Winter X Games through 2012, and voted #1 by Transworld Snowboarding Magazine Reader's Poll for best pipe and park, Buttermilk built it's 60-year legacy on wide-open and gently rolling trails that cater to beginners and families. While experts frolic in the terrain park, the rest of the family can cruise on the wide, rolling trails. Perfectly groomed slopes, gentle powder and glades, combined with a great ski/snowboard school and a 22-foot superpipe in the legendary terrain park make Buttermilk a secret gem.
If you want a true ski-in/ski-out experience at Buttermilk, check out The Inn at Aspen Hotel.
