The Highland Bowl is Aspen’s Crown Jewel. The area offers some of the steepest and most challenging ski terrain in the U.S. This 782-foot vertical hike takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. The trek can be particularly difficult for those not used to the altitude but the skiing and the views are worth every single step.
