Review:
It is difficult to say whether it is better to come to Aspen Mountain (also called Ajax) in the summer or wait for the winter snow.
Skiers flock to Ajax year after year for the mountain’s famous slopes, steeps, and glades that challenge even the most experienced skiers – let’s not forget that these slopes are challenging enough for World Cup contestants.
During the summers, you can hit one of the dozens of trails, join the yoga group on the mountaintop, take a naturalist tour to learn about the wildlife and plants, or you can enjoy the view from a gondola.
After an action-packed day on the mountains, relax at the Ajax Tavern or sit on the Sundeck and appreciate the breathtaking views of Elk Mountain.
