Aspen - Snowboarding
Since the lifting of the ban in 2001, Aspen has taken its place among the best boarding resorts in the USA. The best board park is on Buttermilk, with its huge half-pipe that hosts the ESPN Winter X Games annually, and a terrain park that includes over 40 rails and jumps. Snowmass has also developed 3 terrain parks with the Snowmass Pipeline Park offering a super-pipe and over 30 hits or rails for intermediate and advanced riders, whilst Makaha and Scooper Parks feature a mini-pipe and a series of easier rails for beginners.
