Outdoor adventures and mountain views define life in Aspen
Home to world-class ski resorts and seemingly endless outdoor activities, Aspen is famous for its snow-covered slopes across four mountains at the Aspen Ski Resort. Named for its high-elevation forests, Aspen is at the peak of mountain lifestyles in Central Colorado. "We have jaw-dropping mountains, pristine lakes, amazing waterfalls and the Colorado blue skies. You could say I have a love affair with this little town," says Stacey Kelly, a real estate agent at Christie's International Real Estate who has lived in the area for over 20 years. "Aspen has amazing skiing, and it is a cultural world where amazing music, festivals and live shows come to us. It’s all about investing in your life. There is a premium for living here, and to me, it’s worth it."
