How does little Buttermilk, with only 420 acres compete with the bigger resorts in the Aspen area? The answer is simple: by optimizing its terrain to serve beginners and snowboarders, Buttermilk Ski Area has perfected itself as a niche resort among larger ski areas.

The founder of Buttermilk created a ski area with slopes that are friendly for new skiers and those learning the basics of making their way downhill. To assist these newcomers, there is a world-renowned ski school that specializes in providing excellent instruction and loving care for all of its clients. Take a private lesson, and you will see your skiing improve dramatically.

Buttermilk’s other specialty is snowboarding, and they have created the world’s longest terrain park to prove it. Currently, the operators have built a two-mile long terrain park that features a superpipe, loads of terrain features and over 25 rails. If you are just learning to get your board off the snow, Buttermilk also has a terrain park designed just for beginners.

So don’t miss out on the Buttermilk experience when you visit Aspen.
