There would be only place that people would go to if price wasn't an issue: Aspen. It has been and will forever be the quintessential ski town, and blew away the competition in our poll. It has it all. Hopping nightlife: check. Top culinary delights: check. Arguable the best event in the ski world: check. Take two minutes to meander the streets of Aspen and you'll find Louis Vuitton and a ski bum sandwhich shop. The juxtaposition of high and low class skiers makes for a truly unique ski town that everyone can enjoy. Oh also: It has four resorts with some of the best skiing you can find on one ticket. Yeah, it deserves to be number one.

Don't Miss: A hike or snowshoe trip to the Maroon Bells and Crater Lake. Arguably the most photographed spot in the country, these famous mountains are perhaps the most beautiful features in Colorado. A bus can take you straight there, in case hiking isn't for you.

Resorts: Aspen Mountain (Ajax), Aspen Highlands, Snowmass Mountain, Buttermilk Mountain.
