FIRST TRACKS

DAILY | 8:00 AM | COMPLIMENTARY

December – APRIL

The mountain is yours before anyone else arrives. Each morning, guests depart the Little Nell Ski Concierge at 8:00 am to upload Aspen Mountain's Silver Queen Gondola at 8:15 am, before the mountain officially opens to the public. What waits at the top is freshly groomed corduroy — or on the right morning, untracked powder from ridge to base. Winter Adventures are exclusive to guests of The Little Nell, Residences at The Little Nell and The Limelight Hotel.

*Please note, all Skiing & Winter Adventures are dependent upon weather and conditions and subject to availability.
