Terrain on Buttermilk spans from beginner to intermediate runs, but there is still fun to be had by more advanced skiers and boarders. That's what makes this mountain a great family ski resort. Beginner and intermediate snow enthusiasts can take half or full day lessons and even have fun in one of the terrain parks that is set up especially for ski and snowboard school. More advanced skiers can seek out hidden stashes of pow on more difficult runs or explore some of the most extensive terrain parks in Colorado. The superpipe and Winter X Games slope-style course should be enough to keep you busy. The Winter X Games park has over 40 jumps and 25 rails.
Buttermilk ski area was first designed because there was a lack of terrain in other resorts that was good for teaching and learning skiing and snowboarding. Buttermilk was designed to be the first resort near Aspen, Colorado to be dedicated to its snow sports school. Beginners can enjoy mellow terrain and perfectly groomed slopes in a quiet and comfortable environment. Nine lifts cover a terrain of 430 acres. The lifts are not much to write home about but the size of the resort is just big enough to be able to learn quickly and continue improving.
Buttermilk Mountain sits three miles away from Aspen making it easily accessible to all visitors in the area. Rentals and lessons are available at the resort and there are a handful of eateries on site as well. Come enjoy a beginner's and jibber's paradise in Aspen, Colorado.
