Whether you're on an Aspen holiday for the winter sports or just to be seen (or both), you will have to schedule quite a large slice of your time to the resort's other main activity, which is world-class shopping. Unfortunately, prices are high, but that should not deter even the most budget-conscious browser from 'just looking'. The retail options extend from home-grown stores offering handcrafts to high-fashion designer boutiques, jewellery to die for, antiques and collectibles, and even a unique pet's paradise where you can outfit your pooch in style. Those who did not come well prepared can, of course, also find trendy ski-wear at local upscale outlets like Gorsuch, where celebrities flock for the latest in mountain style.
