Fly Fishing
The Frying Pan River from Ruedi Dam downstream to the confluence with the Roaring Fork River at Basalt is state-designated Gold Medal Water. Thrill to 14 miles of incredible tailwater trout fishing on the Frying Pan River. There are sections of the river that provide year-round fishing opportunities for many anglers, and any section of these 14 miles of river is capable of producing a trophy fish. With healthy populations of rainbow, brown, cutthroat, and brook trout, a fisherman has the chance to land a “grand slam” of trout on any given day!

Winter Sports
Located only 15 minutes from the World Class Resort of Aspen/Snowmass, visitors can ski and snowboard on any of the four area mountains - Aspen, Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk. Each ski mountain has something special to offer depending on whether you're looking for expert terrain or child-friendly runs! Snowmass is undergoing an unprecedented renaissance with a new base village, new children's center and quicker lift rides. Aspen Highlands has added a new lift, Deep Temerity, giving access to even more steeps! Buttermilk will be home again for the ESPN Winter X Games in January 2009.
