 Buttermilk
Mountain
Base elevation: 7,870 ft./2,399 m.
Summit elevation: 9,900 ft./3,018 m.
Vertical rise: 2,030 ft./619 m.
Terrain: 453 acres/176 hectares, Boardercross course.

Best known for: Being the undisputed home of the ESPN Winter X Games
through 2010 - that's nine years of Winter X at Aspen/Snowmass! As home
to the ESPN Winter X Games, Buttermilk's Crazy T'rain Park hosts the
best snowboarders and skiers in the world each year. In addition to the
Crazy T'rain Park crammed full of rails, funboxes and hits,
Buttermilk Mountain has the
monster-sized X Games superpipe, a Ski & Snowboard School Park and a
mini-pipe out of the main flow so you can practice your new tricks.
Also known for: Being one of the best learning/teaching mountains in the
world. Beginner terrain makes Buttermilk an excellent learning mountain
for new skiers and riders. Unsurpassed grooming makes the slopes that
much easier.
Best-kept secret: Long, wide groomers at West Buttermilk and steeper
rolling runs at Tiehack.
What's new: Separate beginner terrain park (S3) on Larkspur. Host of the
Aspen/Snowmass open slopestyle and superpipe competition.
Location: Within the White River National Forest, 3 miles from downtown
Aspen, 6 miles from Snowmass. |
