The ski season is drawing to a close, but if you haven’t had the time – or the cash – to hit the slopes this winter, CNN has the next best thing.

Once you’ve squeezed into your salopettes and strapped on your skis, it’s time to hit the slopes. Below is a view straight down Aspen Mountain – one of four ski areas that make up the resort. If you look closely, you can see CNN Alpine Edge’s Christina Macfarlane preparing to make her descent.

How the other half live

If you’re a billionaire looking to get on the property ladder in Aspen, look no further than Red Mountain.

Last year, the luxurious “Summit House” – situated at the top of the mountain – went on sale for a cool $65 million.
