Information on Skiing and Snow-sports in Aspen |

Aspen Snowmass is one of the best skiing destinations in the world and 190 North's Lou Canellis and Doug Banks put that reputation to the challenge! Lou checks out all four mountains (Ajax, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk) and discovers the "happening" places to ski by, while Doug tries…or attempts… to snowboard with Othello of the Aspen Ski & Snowboard Schools.

Aspen is known as the winter playground of the rich and famous. So, what would any visit to this famous ski town be without a tour of what's posh and pricy??? Michelle Alegria stopped by the hottest jeweler, outfitter, restaurant and hotel, where money is no object!
