This is best visited in the warmer months. I did not go there this trip due to cold and weather. I have not seen the upgrades that have been made, but the original is worth visiting. it's a pleasant walk along a trail with the creek running next to it. His songs on the large stones are a great tribute... More

My favorite mountain to ski...Love the Sundeck, the gondola, the Ajax Tavern at the base...Mountain Ambassadors are just that - diplomatic presences who will guide you in all the right directions...

I always eat several meals here during my trips, the food is good, the service is also good and the people watching is my favorite. I have seen Rob Lowe here, with his family, Kevin Costner, I met John Denver years ago. Great place

Though I don't ski Ajax very often, I was enticed to ski with friends on a backcountry adventure with the Aspen Powder Tours. I couldn't have been more delighted and impressed. Murray, Piglet, Doc and the whole crew were so delightful and pleasant. The terrain was UNBELIEVABLE!!! We had 18-22 inches of fresh, untracked powder everywhere we went. We skied... More

Skied here - the ambassadors were great, the powder was wonderful, the slopes were quiet, friendly lift staff. Totally great - it was very sunny there every day so make sure you wear sunscreen!

If you come to ski Aspen, I recommend skiing Highlands or Snowmass. Aspen Mountain (Ajax) is very steep and has a funnel effect down the front.
