Review:
Colorado has no scarcity of ski resorts, with Aspen only adding to the extensive list of excellent slopes the state can offer. Situated among the Elk Mountains in White River National Forest, Aspen was established as a mine town during the silver mining boom of the 19th century, but today its identity is almost inextricably connected to skiing. The town has access to four trail-covered mountains, as well as facilities for other winter outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and hot air ballooning. The town also supports outdoor summer fun, with gorgeous natural landscapes and infrastructure for such pursuits as hiking, cycling, and fly fishing.
