The mountain will be open to the 12,382-foot summit of Highland Bowl. The Exhibition, Loge and Deep Temerity lifts will run daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. providing access to the entire mountain.

WHAT'S NEW!
Aspen Highlands is the locals’ favorite, whether for its extreme terrain, groomed cruisers or breathtaking views of the Maroon Bells. So, how does a 12,500-foot mountain top itself? If it’s Aspen Highlands, it unveils Deep Temerity—200-plus acres of new advanced and expert terrain that opened for the 2005-2006 season along with the Deep Temerity triple chair, which rises 1,700 vertical feet in 7.3 minutes. Thanks to these additions, Aspen Highlands now boasts Colorado’s most stunning and challenging big-mountain terrain.
