Fora’s Take
Tucked into Colorado's Rocky Mountains the vibrant city of Aspen is home to world-famous restaurants, four ski resorts and magical mountain views. If you’re looking for a glamorous winter retreat, there’s no better place to visit. Besides the renowned skiing, Aspen offers a variety of winter activities, dining options and my favorite – aprés-ski! Let this be your guide to a relaxing winter escape.
