I lived in Aspen for about ten years, and there is no place like it. The people are intelligent, worldly, sophisticated, charming, and always fun to be with at any time. The place has an ambiance found no where else. My favorite time was always the summer, less people, beautiful scenery, lots to do. Anyone who finds Aspen boring, wouldn't be happy anywhere. ...

Anyone finding Aspen boring is a boring person. I've lived in the valley my entire adult life and there is nothing boring about Aspen or the Roaring Fork Valley. Winter skiing is the best with choices of 4 mountains to choose from. Cross Country skiing is no better anywhere with full access to White River Nat. Forest to city groomed trails. Night life is fantastic, but you have to know where to eat. Try talking to locals to find the best spots. The X Games, World Cup competitions and Winter ... Read Full Review | Report This
