Aspen Mountain (Ajax)
Aspen, USA
Aspen Mountain, known locally as Ajax, is a 3,267-metre ski area renowned for its challenging slopes and impressive vertical drop of 1,000 metres. Established in 1946, it features a mix of groomed runs and mogul fields, with views of the Elk Mountains that frame the skyline and are particularly stunning against a blue sky.
Winter is peak season for skiing, with the best snow typically from late December to early March. Off the slopes, the mountain base offers dining options and access to the Silver Queen Gondola, which takes you to the summit. The atmosphere is lively, but the mountain retains an air of understated elegance, reflecting Aspen's overall charm.
