Buttermilk

Buttermilk, a modest peak in Aspen's quartet, offers gentler slopes. It is a suitable locale for those newly come to the sport, or seeking a more relaxed descent. Its vertical drop suggests a pleasant, if not demanding, day of turns.

This peak finds itself a mere stone's throw from Aspen Mountain and Highlands, making it a natural inclusion should one seek to sample all that Aspen itself offers. The drives are negligible, mere shuttles between sister mountains, ensuring more time spent on the snow.

For those planning their tour with foresight, Buttermilk honors both the Ikon and Mountain Collective passes. One would do well to check the specific access tiers, as always, to avoid any unexpected tolls at the gate.
