Aspen Powder Tours at The Little Nell

Fridays | 8:15 AM | $950 Per Person

December – April

Few seats in Aspen are as coveted as those on The Little Nell Powder Cat. Reserve yours and you’ll have a powder day to yourself (well, with up to 11 others) on the backside of Aspen Mountain. Each tour averages 10-12 untracked runs on a blank canvas of intermediate to expert terrain, followed by an intimate late lunch at a wood stove-heated cabin in the heart of the Elk Mountains. Lunch offerings are perfectly paired with wines from around the world, hand selected by The Little Nell's team of sommeliers. Your knee-deep hosts for the day are Little Nell staff from our executive team or ski concierges.


Winter Adventures are exclusive to guests of The Little Nell, Residences at The Little Nell and The Limelight Hotel.
