Aspen Highlands Lift-served Sidecountry Skiing

Join one of our IFMGA/AMGA certified/trained mountain ski guides for a fantastic lift-served skiing from Aspen Highlands! adventure!

Ski into the untracked wilderness with us! Depending on your level of skiing/riding and snow and weather conditions, we will guide you down an out-of-bounds ski run accessed from the top of Aspen Highlands Bowl.

After reaching the top of Highlands bowl, we'll saddle up for a hike (20 to 50 min.) along the scenic Highlands Ridge. Then we'll drop in to one of the many 4000 vertical feet ski descents available to us off of the Ridge. Our knowledge of the ski/riding descents off of Aspen Highlands is unsurpassed.
