Overview

The Little Nell is Aspen's only ski-in/ski-out property, and a popular spot for locals as well as visitors is The Bar at Little Nell, particularly during the winter for an apres-ski drink and a snack before dinner. 

Open since 1989, The Little Nell displays evidence of its well-deserved 5 star rating almost everywhere you look - from the luxuriously comfortable guest rooms, to its elegant restaurant, and their unbeatable level of service and pampering.  A stay at The Little Nell will leave you feeling like royalty.

During the winter you pick up your lift tickets from the Ski Concierge at the front door.  Located just a few steps from the Silver Queen Gondola to take you up the slopes and a short walk from the numerous downtown shops, restaurants, and nightlife, The Little Nell will spoil you for any other type of ski vacation.

Skiing

Aspen boasts four distinct ski areas - Aspen Mountain (known locally as Ajax), Buttermilk, Snowmass, and Aspen Highlands - each offers a different experience and suitability for different levels of skill.

Hotel Jerome Skiing photoAspen Mountain is well-known for it's expert and double-diamond runs - this 675-acre mountain is known for steeps and bumps and is a favorite among upper-intermediate and advanced skiers, but it's really not the place for anyone who is just learning to ski.  

On the other hand, Buttermilk is great for beginners, and is considered one of the premiere learning mountains in the country.  Most of Buttermilk's 420 acres are groomed each night and 74 percent of Buttermilk's ski and snowboard terrain is rated beginner or intermediate.  Buttermilk is also a snowboarder's paradise since the addition of Crazy T'rain, the world's longest terrain park.

Snowmass is very popular with families and groups for its variety of runs serving all levels of skiers.  Snowmass is a massive mountain, offering incredible and varied terrain for skiing and snowboarding.  It is said to be the open-glade cruising capital with good terrain for all skills, all ages, all passions -- and fast lifts and very long runs.  At Snowmass you'll find 3,100 acres of cruisers, steeps, 3 terrain parks, a massive superpipe, and an intense railyard.  It's a virtual Mecca for families and skiing/snowboarding enthusiasts.

Aspen Highlands challenges the skills and courage of snowboarders and skiers, from beginner to expert.  Steeps, glades and powder stashes drop from the sides of long, groomed cruisers.  What the mountain lacks in the park/pipe department, it makes up for ten fold in the vertical area.  Known for its amazing bowls, Aspen Highlands is the place for big-mountain skiing in its world famous Highland Bowl, Olympic Bowl and Steeplechase.  Enjoy the wide-open runs or, for the ultimate ski/snowboarding experience, step it up a level with a snowcat ride to the first access gate then continue to hike to the renowned descents of the recently expanded Highland Bowl.

Dining

Overlooking the courtyard and facing Aspen Mountain, Montagna is a well-known hot spot for locals.  Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, the atmosphere is casual yet elegant. 

Little Nell Restaurant photoMontagna is home to Chef Ryan Hardy, whose artistic culinary style features fresh local ingredients.  Chef Ryan is not just a talented and dedicated chef, but also a master cheese maker, and his passion for cooking has led to several awards.

Montagna also features the talents of Master Sommelier Richard Betts, who oversees a 15,000 bottle private wine cellar.  His recommendations for the perfect accompaniment to any entree will create a very special meal.  Montagna is also the recipient of Wine Spectator’s Grand Award.

Not to be missed is The Bar at Little Nell.  Enjoy some of the best martinis you'll find anywhere, along with a fresh seafood bar and fondue during the winter months.  This is the hip place to be after a good day (or any day!) on the slopes - where you just might rub elbows with celebrities alongside the locals.

The Living Room is a bright and cozy spot for relaxing in front of the fireplace and to watching skiers shush down the slopes.  Complimentary morning coffee and tea is served, and all day dining is also available.
