Aspen Colorado is a great place to be. Nestled in the Roaring Fork Valley off the Colorado River, the city of Aspen co - Snowmass is home to all sorts of opportunities that are bound to improve a person's quality of life...and let's not forget the movie stars!

When you decide to visit a place like Aspen, Co one of the first things you are struck with is the natural beauty of its setting. This city in Pitkin County began as a mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom, but when the boom ended people did not want to leave. Walter Paepke thought it would be a great place to renew mind and body and apparently so did many others. For the 6000 plus residents who call this resort home year around and for those many thousands more who visit seasonally...winter wonderland is like an oasis in a busy world.

The mountains of Pitkin County are the ideal setting for revitalizing oneself in and out. Have you ever been sitting at your desk so long that you could barely think straight? A walk in the fresh air does a lot of good for the work day. Now think in terms of the work year. Sometimes the months go by and you don't even stop to look at the stars. Just as a brisk walk can make all the difference in your day, so a day in Aspen Colorado can make all the difference in your year.

It has not gone unnoticed that many in the cities of North America can't even see the stars if they want to. Aspen Colorado is not such a place. But don't get the idea that looking up at the sky is all you can do here. When you are looking up and the snow starts coming down then the fun has just begun. Be the first to the hill for some of the best skiing in the world. You can go cross country or you can go downhill, and if you've never done either then go to ski school! It doesn't matter how you get there, you haven't lived until you've tried it. And once you've tried it you may want to make it a regular part of your routine.
