Bigger hot springs with lots of smaller pools that have no chemicals because the water is refreshed every two hours. Their big pool does have chlorine and chemicals but the smaller ones do not so you can just absorb the wonderful minerals

This is as natural as it gets. Wanna go nude? You can do that here. Wanna hop in the river then back in the springs? Go for it, safely of course;). The pools change as the river changes so you never know what you’re going to get:)

Skiing

The description of a perfect ski mountain is right there in the name. Snowmass is covered with perfect Colorado powder, and massive enough to offer up every type of terrain from serene to extreme. Twenty-one speedy lifts (but rarely lift lines) deliver you to more than 3,300 acres of snowsports smorgasbord, including 94 trails totaling 150 miles which vary from cruisers to cliff bands, plus three terrain parks and pipes all at Aspen Snowmass. Seven on-mountain restaurants offer places to pause and rest, which you’ll need after trails that stretch as long as five miles. World Extreme Skiing Champion (and local) Chris Davenport, says, “Snowmass has some of the best steeps, cliffs, couloirs, backcountry, terrain parks, and powder anywhere in North America.” And he’s skied all of North America. Recently, Snowmass was voted one of the top ski areas in the Western US by Ski Magazine.

Buttermilk is one mountain with two personalities. Best known around the world for being home to the Winter X Games and the Red Bull Double Pipe event, the mountain has become an icon for freestyle riders and skiers, who hit up the Buttermilk Park to see what they’re made of. But the mountain is also easy-going for beginners and families, boasting uncrowded beginner terrain and The Hideout, an innovative learning center for young skiers. Plus, it is adored by uphillers who make the trek up Tiehack to Cliffhouse daily.

Of the four mountains, Aspen Highlands avoids the spotlight, which is perfectly fine with the locals and in-the-know skiers and riders who tackle its uncrowded slopes. Hike the ridge to Highland Bowl for the sweetest run of your life, or simply cruise along the mid-mountain groomers off the Cloud Nine chairlift. Views over the valley to the snow-covered Maroon Bells constantly will remind you: this is Colorado at its best.

Dog sledding

A Krabloonik Dog Sled Tour is the best way to explore the pristine Colorado backcountry. For over an hour, their Snowmass sled rides twist and wind not far from Aspen through Snowmass backcountry on an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime journey. Each sled, which can carry two adults and a small child, is pulled by 8-10 Alaskan husky sled dogs and is guided by an experienced musher. Their dogs are born and bred to run and they love the thrill of the Snowmass backcountry just as much as you will. Whether sunny or snowing, there’s no better way to experience the Colorado wilderness than in the seat of one of their dog sled tours. Wild game & seafood dishes served in a rustic cabin with mountain views as well.
