There’s also snowboarding, ice skating, cross country skiing, dog sledding, snowmobiling, fly fishing, hot air ballooning and more on the worldclass slopes. Many of the area’s arts and culture institutions, famous in the summer, also offer winter programmes and, of course, the apres ski is second to none. There are more than 100 restaurants offering up everything from burgers to sushi, with expertly paired grapes and hand-crafted cocktails to warm you up on a cold winter's evening. There’s also plenty of live music and great shopping, from designer to outdoors wear with Aspen having its own Fashion Week each March.
