One of the fastest growing winter sports, uphill skiing, also called alpine touring or skinning, gained massive popularity during the pandemic when everyone headed outdoors for cold-weather recreation. Locals and visitors have embraced the pastime, and Aspen Snowmass is a rare resort that allows uphilling on all four mountains during winter months.
Read our Guide to Uphilling for information on how to get started, where to find your gear, and what to wear.
Don't forget your uphill pass! All hikers and skinners must carry an uphill pass with them when accessing any of the four Aspen Snowmass mountains. Download the Aspen Snowmass app to check uphilling routes, which are sometimes closed for mountain maintenance or safety.
For those who prefer to get their cardio fix with less equipment, winter hiking options abound! Climb "Aspen's treadmill" on the sundrenched Smuggler Mountain Road, or hike up Buttermilk ski area and ride the lift down.
