The dichotomy of Buttermilk as the home of the X Games as well as the best beginner skiing in Colorado might be confusing at first, but trust us, the “biscuit” can handle the diversity.
The mountain is made up of 3 distinct areas: Tiehack, well-loved by uphillers throughout the day, main Buttermilk, and West Buttermilk, a mellow beginners paradise. Keep an eye out for uphilling events, like Full Moon Dinners and Friday Morning Uphill Breakfast Club, on select days throughout the winter.
On mountain restaurants include the Cliffhouse, at the top of the mountain, boasting a beautiful view of Pyramid Peak, and Buttermilk Mountain Lodge, located at the base of the hill on the main Buttermilk side.
