Aspen

Aspen Mountain, affectionately known as "Ajax," is the legendary heart of Aspen’s historic silver-mining town. Rising steeply directly from the town center, it features an uncompromising, expert-focused playground of technical glades, moguls, and sustained vertical pitches. With no green runs and an elite overall rating, it pairs world-class high-altitude riding with a luxury pedestrian village, making it a global pilgrimage site for affluent, serious mountain enthusiasts.
