Buttermilk

Buttermilk is the perfect playground for kids and kids-at-heart to learn the basics, master the terrain park, skin uphill, or watch the world’s best athletes during the X Games. The new, fully-electric, 9,000-square-foot skier services building is a visitor’s dream—a one-stop-shop for lessons, rentals, tickets, and lounging—while the mountain itself makes the perfect destination for beginners and families and anyone looking for the adventurous thrills that are synonymous with the name Aspen.

Buttermilk hosts the ESPN Winter X Games and was voted #1 by Transworld Snowboarding Magazine Reader’s Poll for the best park and pipe. The 22-foot superpipe in the legendary terrain park does not disappoint, as many X Games winners, Olympians, and up-and-comers can attest.
