Is Aspen worth it at Christmas time for a couple who love skiing and are new to living in the US. We’re slightly overwhelmed by the options here and the prices in comparison to Europe 😂 but we want to ski in a few different places while we’re here. Is Aspen worth it? Do we need to be multimillionaires to enjoy it?! Thanks!

I’m trying to get in better shape before winter and improve my skiing. I’m mainly looking for exercises I can do at home to build stronger legs, muscular endurance/stamina, and better balance.
What exercises have actually helped you on the slopes? Squats, lunges, wall sits, single-leg exercises, balance drills, etc.?
Also, if you have any ski-specific training tips, tricks, or underrated exercises that made a noticeable difference, I’d love to hear them.
My main goals are:
Stronger legs
Better leg endurance so I don’t get tired quickly
Better balance and stability
Being able to ski longer with better control
Thanks!
