Aspen is an après-ski magnet for Hollywood stars, B-listers, scenesters, want-to-be-seensters, and the just plain curious. Of course, the unifying factor that pulls them all together is the spectacular mountain scenery, providing serious skiers limitless opportunities to schuss their days away. What keeps them lingering well into the night, though, is the glitzy and glamorous après-ski scene that unfolds here each evening, animating the charmingly antiquated buildings of this former silver-mining town (a quirky authenticity that sets it apart from the Rockies' other chichi ski mecca of Vail). Take in a concert under the crystal chandeliers of the Wheeler Opera House, built in 1889; delight your palate at one of the fabulous restaurants; or swap ski war stories over a cocktail. This fabled ski resort hosts plenty of hot bars and lounges - hit up Syzygy or Little Nell for cool jazz, while the historic Hotel Jerome houses the lively J-bar - a fave Aspen watering hole since 1889. There are tons of other choices, and happily, getting home after having a few is no issue - have the bartender call a free taxi through the Tipsy Taxi program, hop on the free late-night shuttle, or, for a real hoot, hire the Ultimate Taxi, a 1978 checkerboard taxi replete with disco balls, black lights, and 3-D effects.
