这个地方真心没什么玩，可以说是到maroon bell的必经之路。所有乘客如果没有车的话，就必须在这里转公车上山，当然车资也是在这里缴的。单程6美金，回程免费。

Aspen Highlands has a great layout, small crowds, great snow, and some of the best terrain I've ridden. It has everything from some of the steepest runs around to perfectly mellow terrain for beginners.

My family skied her one day of our trip to the Aspen area. This is not an area for beginners (go to Buttermilk for that) but is has great trails and scenery for the Intermediate and Expert skiers. This is the best place to view Maroon Bells from a ski slope. Lunch was very good at on mountain Merry Go Round.

I got lucky and skied Highlands after days of good snowfall. I love the 3.5 mile top-to-bottom runs especially when it included Willys and Moment of Truth double diamond runs in the middle of the mountain with almost two feet of powder.Good mid-mountain restaurant for food and watching skiers hit the jump in front of the restaurant.This mountain has some 37% dedicated to expert terrain but also has plenty of blues and greens for those in your group that might need something easy. All-in-all a great place to ski!

skied one day at Highlands and got some very good powder runs. Traffic on mountain was light with almost no lift lines. It is relatively easy to get last here as signs are very small and few and far between

We did like the skiing and also the great food and party at the cloud nine restaurant. The lift needs updates ( take a look to the resorts in the alps) for the ticket price I expected modern lifts.

This is strictly a ski destination for skiing. Not much glitz or excitement otherwise. Perfect for my needs! First time here and had difficulty finding the base area due to non existent signage. Parking was exceptionally convenient getting to the slopes. Lifts are not high speed. Terrain can be challenging, but thankfully it finally snowed here. Not crowded and early runs are fabulous. Cloud nine bistro is an on mountain extravagance. I'm going to return!

Great areA, and especially Highland Bowl a snowcat ride and hike up to nearly 12,500'. Get a real daypack ski carrier and don't falll for the $40 ski thong

Highlands has few begginers tracks. And the begginers tracks there aren't as easy as Buttermilk's. I'd say that the green tracks in Highlands are comparable to the blue tracks in Buttermilk. So, definitely not a place to novices. The views from the mountain, specially at Long Peak, are breathtaking. The famous Cloud 9 bistro is also there.

We have been going to Aspen Highlands and staying at the Ritz for over 10 years, Even with Ajax and Snowmass and Buttermilk nearby I still prefer to ski at Highlands. It has no lift lines and you are sometimes alone on the mountain. The only drawback is the village is almost vacant of retail and food shops. There is Willow Creek at the Ritz (which is great) but closed on Mondays. For the overall skiing without the seen and be seen crowd I would stay with Highlands. It is a blue run to get all the way down to the bottom but not all that bad for all types of skiier. Not for someone who is just learning. I would veture over to buttermilk in that case.

We had weather issues, snow issues, white outs, but that's not their fault, it just happens. When you are a skier, you never know what kind of weather will hit the mountian. At least our accomodations were excellent and we had fun visiting the little boutiques and dining when it was too windy ahd foggy to ski.

It's a great mountain to ski, with many choices from green to double black. More low key and shorter lines

We skied for about five hours and got in about 13K vertical feet on mostly blue and black trails. The mountain did get a little crowded on a Saturday during a holiday week but waiting 10min in a lift line is better than anything in the northeast. The cloud 9 lift offers some great views in the afternoon as does lunch or a cocktail at the Cloud 9 chalet.

The views, the terrain, the slopes and the spots to eat and drink: an accumulation of the best in the world. There hasn't been a time that any member of my family or I didn't walk away from Highlands with thrill in the heart. An absolute YES for anyone who wants to ski in Aspen.
