Aspen, Colorado
Much like Vail, Aspen is a wintertime favorite for celebrities. Aspen isn’t just one of the most luxurious ski towns but a cultural hotspot and foodie destination. Purchase a ski home here and you might be neighbors with Mariah Carey, Antonio Banderas or Goldie Hawn, three of many celebrities who call Aspen home during wintertime. An added plus—its distance from Denver makes its slopes less crowded than Vail’s.
