- RFrachel fiskusOct 30, 20255.0Buttermilk is an absolute paradise for snowboarders! It’s home to the Winter X Games, the terrain park setup is incredible. One time they had a double half pipe. There are jumps, rails, boxes, and features for every skill level, from beginners just learning to advanced riders who want to hit the big lines. It’s one of the best parks I’ve ever ridden. During the X Games, the whole mountain comes alive with awesome live concerts, energy, and great vibes everywhere. Even when the event isn’t going on, Buttermilk has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that makes it perfect for riders who love freestyle terrain without the intense crowds of the bigger Aspen resorts. The runs are smooth, well-maintained, and the views are classic Colorado beauty mountains for miles. Whether you’re here to shred the park, cruise mellow groomers, or just hang out in the X Games vibe, Buttermilk is a must for any snowboarder. 🏂.
- HMHumberto MendozaSep 22, 20255.0El mejor lugar para aprender a esquiar. Recomiendo ampliamente las clases privadas. Nosotros fuimos 3 personas, recomiendo llegar con tiempo ya que si como en nuestro caso optas por rentar equipo puedas elegir la talla con calma. Pedimos que nuestro profesor hablara español lo cual así fue, creo que se llamaba Gastón, nos tuvo mucha paciencia. Cuenta con un área para aprender cada técnica así que puedes refinar cada detalle antes de subir a la montaña. Si es tu primera clase no te recomiendo comprar el lift ticket ya que no te será necesario.

- ASAndrew StanleyAug 16, 20255.0Amazing place for concerts! The Up in the Sky nights were unforgettable — mountains, music, and atmosphere all coming together for pure magic. 🎶✨ I hope they keep doing more events like this. Only tweak? The shuttle wait after — smooth that out and the whole experience is flawless.
- ARAlessandro RosatelliJun 15, 20255.0Ho sciato a Buttermilk durante una settimana bianca ad Aspen e mi sono trovato benissimo. È il posto perfetto per principianti e famiglie: piste verdi e blu larghe, battute alla perfezione, che ti fanno sentire sicuro fin da subito. Ci sono pochi sciatori in pista, anche nei weekend — una vera rarità . Il parco con half‑pipe è fantastico: si respira aria da X‑Games, ma ci sono anche strutture per i meno esperti. Gli istruttori della scuola sci sono molto validi e il noleggio è comodo, proprio accanto alle piste. Non ci sono piste da veri esperti, ma per me che volevo migliorare è stato ideale. La vista dal ristorante Cliffhouse è pazzesca e il parcheggio gratuito ha reso tutto più semplice. Un’esperienza rilassante e divertente che rifarei!
