Its own description is quad-burning groomers and steep, gladed runs, best suited to intermediate and expert skiers, with limited beginner terrain. The Hero's expansion, added in 2023-24, brought 153 acres of chutes and glades served by a high-speed quad, the biggest addition since the gondola in 1985. Aspen Snowmass reports about 300 inches of snow a year across its four mountains.
The mountain opened in December 1946. It's one of four Aspen Snowmass mountains, all on the Ikon Pass (seven days for 2026-27) and Mountain Collective destinations (two days, then 50% off). The 2026-27 season is scheduled to open November 26, 2026. Check current Aspen Mountain ski conditions before you go.
