Aspen is renowned for its iconic slopes, and with four unique mountains to explore—Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Highlands, and Buttermilk—there’s no shortage of adventure. Now, with Aspen Ski Bike’s SNO-GO rentals, you can experience these legendary ski areas in an entirely new way. Whether you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned adventurer, here’s how each mountain offers a distinct and thrilling experience on a SNO-GO bike.


Snowmass: The Ultimate Playground for All Skill Levels

Snowmass boasts the most expansive terrain of Aspen’s four mountains, offering a wide range of runs perfect for SNO-GO riders.

  • Why Snowmass is Great for SNO-GO Bikes:Its open, groomed slopes provide the perfect playground for beginner and intermediate riders. From long, winding greens like Dawdler to forgiving blues like Elk Camp, Snowmass offers a balance of fun and progression. The Village Express Lift is a convenient meeting spot, and the mountain’s variety makes it a favorite among families and groups.

  • Pro Tip: Start your day at the Base Village near the Village Express Lift for easy access to beginner-friendly terrain.


Aspen Mountain: A Challenge for the Experienced

If you’re looking to push your limits, Aspen Mountain is the place to be. Known for its steeps and stunning views, this mountain is best suited for advanced riders.

  • What to Expect on Aspen Mountain:Aspen Mountain has no green runs, so you’ll need to be comfortable on blue and black terrain. Runs like Copper Bowl and Ruthie’s Run offer thrilling descents and plenty of opportunities to carve with precision on your SNO-GO bike.

  • Pro Tip: The Silver Queen Gondola provides direct access to the top, where the breathtaking scenery is matched only by the exhilarating ride back down.


Highlands: A Mountain for the Adventurous

Aspen Highlands is synonymous with adventure. From steep runs to iconic bowls, this mountain is for those looking to take on a challenge.

  • Why Ride a SNO-GO at Highlands:The smooth handling of a SNO-GO bike makes navigating advanced terrain like Golden Horn and Steeplechase more approachable. For powder enthusiasts, Highlands Bowl offers an unforgettable ride with its untracked snow and stunning vistas.

  • Pro Tip: Take the Loge Peak Lift to access some of the mountain’s best terrain.


Buttermilk: Perfect for First-Time Riders

For those new to SNO-GO biking, Buttermilk is the ideal place to start. Known for its beginner-friendly terrain, this mountain offers a welcoming atmosphere for riders of all skill levels.

  • Why Buttermilk is Ideal for Beginners:Wide, gentle slopes like Panda Peak and West Buttermilk provide a stress-free introduction to snow biking. The forgiving terrain is perfect for building confidence and learning the basics, making it a great choice for families or those trying SNO-GO for the first time.
