The Little Nell Snowcat, Aspen

The Little Nell Snowcat in Aspen is an exhilarating full day out on the slopes. Explore intermediate to expert terrain on 10-12 runs in a group of no more than 12 people. A well-deserved lunch and massage is provided in a wood-stove heated cabin on the slopes of Elk Mountain. Prices start from £322 per person based on a group of ten. Or, from £380 per person for individuals. The excursion is fully escorted by expert guides and offered twice each week between December and April.

Managing Director, Craig Burton of Ski Solutions said: “There’s so much more to the world’s ski and snowboard resorts than the slopes. British travellers are now embracing all manner of adventures to make their trips remarkable. Food has always been fundamental to a great ski holiday and gourmet touches. Whether a hot toddy in a snowy forest or organic snacks around an outdoor fire – are now joined on the menu by exceptional après ski suppers and surprises.”
