The Verdict

Aspen Highlands offers more terrain to explore, but both resorts provide a full day of skiing. Both are on the Ikon Pass, so pass holders can ski either without additional tickets. Consider your priorities: terrain size, snow quality, or convenience. Each factor may point to a different choice.
