Aspen/Snowmass is the only resort in North America with four epic mountains, all on one lift ticket. Experience the power of four.

Fifty-some years after cranking up its first chairlift, Aspen/Snowmass remains the soul of winter sports in America. Thanks to the ever-funky Victorian town, the scenic and climatic wonder that is alpine Colorado, and people smart enough to appreciate such things, the cradle still rocks. And the skiing and riding here is only getting better: Snowmass is undergoing an ambitious renaissance that will result in quicker lift rides, a new base village, over $20 million in existing property renovations an amazing new children's center and much more. And Aspen Highlands tops itself with a new lift, Deep Temerity adding more advanced, expert and extreme terrain. With quadruple peaks-Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk-Aspen/Snowmass goes off by a Power of Four.

Already one of North America's premier resorts, Snowmass is undergoing a renaissance. A host of on-mountain improvements will greet skiers and riders on opening day of the 2005-2006 season. The old Fanny Hill chairlift makes way for the speedy new Village Express-a six-passenger lift that soars from the bottom of Fanny Hill to Sam's Knob in just 9.5 minutes. The new Sky Cab, a six-passenger gondola, flies you from the new base to the Snowmass Village Mall in just two minutes. Future on-mountain improvements will include the new Elk Camp Gondola and Elk Camp Meadows activity center.

Breckenridge, Colorado

 Select  
Breckenridge is one of the best-known names in skiing, and with good reason. The skiing and snowboarding here is excellent, spread out over four mountains with a variety of challenging terrain, from bumps to cruisers, from glades to bowls. But the resort is more than just downhill skiing. From ice skating to dog sledding, you can choose from a number of outdoor activities. There's beautiful snowmobiling that will take you up to see the Continental Divide, and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing at the Nordic Center that will take you through the Arapahoe National Forest. And some of what you can't find here-night skiing, tubing-you can find just down the road, a simple shuttle ride away at sister resort Keystone, a 10- to 20-minute drive away.

Copper Mountain, Colorado

The color is Copper and you can just color it BIG. Copper Mountain one of the largest ski and snowboard resort the Rockies. It has steep and deep. It has bowls. It has gentle slopes and it had intermediate terrain. In short, it has enough to keep any skier or boarder tickled coppery-pink. Vertical is abundant at 2,601 feet and skiable terrain is spread over 2,450 acres.

Naturally Divided Terrain: No less an authority than the US Forest Service has called Copper "the most nearly perfect ski mountain in all of North America". We'd love to take credit for this, but the truth is that Mother Nature gave us a perfect ski hill. To the West lies our beginner terrain, in the middle is our intermediate, and to the east and up top lies our expert and double diamond skiing. This layout allows the beginners to have their own area, not intimidated by expert skiers whizzing by or taking a wrong turn onto a difficult run. Conversely, the experts have their own area, too, and the intermediates can ride several lifts, deciding whether or not to push it hard and ski to the east, or take a nice cruiser to the west. This layout also makes for a safe ski experience, as skiers and riders of all abilities are comfortable in their own element.

Choose from among 125 trails with 21 percent rated beginner, 25 percent intermediate, 36 percent advanced, and 18 percent expert. There are 22 lifts to get you to those trails, including a six-person lift, four high-speed quads, five triples, five doubles and eight surface pullers. It gets 32,088 skiers up the mountain an hour.

Big is close too, only 75 miles from Denver and 20 miles from Vail off I-70 at Exit 195. It is easily accessible from Denver International Airport and shuttle service is available for those who want to avoid the hassles of rolling up I-70.

Champagne Powder And Cowboy Hats

Go ahead, wear your Billy Kidd cowboy hat. Ski with the former Olympic silver medalist who has been the ambassador for Steamboat ever since. Kidd is but one of 54 athletes who have made the town of Steamboat the number one producer of winter Olympians in North America. By the way, the guy next to you on the lift may well have been out wrangling all morning. The place is genuine; the people and the mountain are real.

Steamboat Springs is located 160 miles northwest of Denver (about a three-hour drive). The easiest way to get there if you are winging your way into Colorado is to fly directly into Hayden (22 miles from the lifts).

Telluride, Colorado

Maybe the Chicago Tribune described Telluride best: "America's charmingly schizophrenic ski area with two personalities." The best of both worlds greet you at Telluride: modern conveniences with an old West flavor. Telluride was founded by miners looking to make their fortunes in gold and silver in 1878 and was, at the height of its heyday, made up of 5,000 rough and ready men - and women. Butch Cassidy began his bank-robbing career with a heist - never recovered - of $24,580. Telluride's gold today is white.

Telluride is located 127 miles southeast of Grand Junction and 125 miles from Durango, CO. Four airlines (American, Continental, United and America West) from six major cities (Chicago, Dallas Fort Worth, Houston, Newark, Denver and Phoenix) fly into either Montrose (65 miles from the resort) or Telluride (6 miles from town).

Eighty-five trails are yours, with almost half rated intermediate. Beginners, with 22 percent, and advanced/expert, with 40 percent degree of difficulty, are not disappointed. There are 1,700 skiable acres and a vertical drop of 3,535 feet. Fifteen lifts, including two gondolas, seven high-speed quads, two triples, two doubles, one surface and one Magic carpet, get 20,286 guests up the hill per hour.

There's a Nordic network of 30 km and you don't even have to worry about unlacing your boots for lunch with 11 ski in/ski out restaurants. Telluride claims to have the largest snowboard playground in the Southwest, with more than eight acres of berms, banks, tabletops and pyramids.

Vail, Colorado

Pete Seibert's dream when he returned from duty as a 10th Mountain Division ski trooper in World War II was to develop a ski resort near where so many snow soldiers trained. He discovered and created what has become Vail in the early sixties and the rest is history. By the way, the name comes from a highway engineer named Charlie Vail, if you're mildly curious.

Vail is the center jewel in the crown of the Rockies.

Consistently ranked the top resort in North America by the ski media, Vail is, more importantly, the top pick of skiers themselves.

With 5,289 skiable acres spread across a prime 7-miles stretch of the Rockies, Vail is the largest resort in North America. Those who have skied Vail will tell you that it's not just quantity that makes Vail the best, it's quality. Like any valuable jewel, it's multi-faceted.

BEAVER CREEK: Posh Fun For All You don't have to sign your name on the social register to get into the place, but you still can ask the concierge to get you a baby sitter or a bottle of Chianti. Ok, forget the Chianti.

Beaver Creek Resort, is one of America's poshest, yet not all that pretentious, ski resorts. It just looks out of your reach, but it probably isn't and there are ways around it if it is. Don't think this is a second-rate skiing experience for wimps, either. The World Alpine Ski Championships have run their downhills here. Birds of Prey is not for wimps. Understand?

The village has grown into charming Euro-like village with cobblestone streets, chalets, hotels, bistros and boutique shopping. You'll think you've died and gone to the Alps...

The vertical drop is a very impressive 3,340 feet spread over 1,625 acres and 146 named trails. Piece O' Cake will let you hang `em out over 3.50 miles. The split among beginner/ intermediate/ advanced is just about even...

Winter Park, Colorado

 Select  
Trying to pin Winter Park Resort to a single characteristic or experience is impossible. The culture, style and personality of the resort have been shaped and defined by 69 years of evolution and revolution.

Winter Park Resort was the brainchild of Denver's manager of Parks and Recreation, George Cranmer, and was created to provide a "winter park" for the residents of Denver. With the help of some enthusiastic volunteers, Winter Park fired up its first rope tow with a $1 lift ticket in 1939. Since that modest beginning, the resort has steadily morphed into one of the top ten ski resorts in the United States, hosting nearly a million skiers and snowboarders annually.

Winter Park's first and ongoing claim to fame is consistently abundant snowfall. Averaging 30 feet of snow annually entitles the resort to the coveted title of "most snow of any major Colorado resort," a distinction that has been unchallenged for more than 69 years. With its proximity to Denver, just 67 miles away, Winter Park is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts.

The wilder side of Winter Park emerged in 1975 when the rowdy Mary Jane Mountain opened. Revered for big bumps, deep chutes, tight glades and steep pitches, "the Jane" has earned cult-like status for her feisty attributes and ego-humbling terrain. Consistently ranked #1 for moguls in North America by Skiing Magazine, Mary Jane is fiercely loved and defended by legions of bump skiers and riders who relentlessly pursue the tightest, cleanest lines down the faces of her daunting trails.

In steady succession, additional sections of the mountain opened including Mary Jane's backside, Vasquez Ridge, Parsenn Bowl and, in 1997, Vasquez Cirque - the resort's most extreme and dramatic terrain. Today, Winter Park boasts 26 lifts serving 134 trails spread over more than 3,060 acres over five mountains.
