Inside Tracks
A Limelight exclusive, this complimentary, on-mountain adventure is offered in partnership with the Ski & Snowboard School of Aspen Snowmass. An exclusive opportunity to get the inside scoop of Aspen Mountain while meeting other guests and skiing/riding with Pros. Although not a lesson, the Pros offer tips and assistance to ensure everyone has a great time. Inside Tracks is the ideal adventure for anyone interested in a full day of skiing/riding in a fun group setting. Please reach out to the front desk for more information.
First Tracks
You know you like to be first. First Tracks is another adventure designed exclusively for guests of the Limelight. Get ready to enjoy access to Aspen Mountain before the gondola opens to the not-quite-as-lucky general public. Just you, a few others, and miles of untouched corduroy. Of course, if Mother Nature cooperates, your morning could start with a glorious run buried in knee-deep powder. Our fingers are crossed!Please contact the front desk for more details.
Friday Powder Days with The Little Nell
How does 10-15 untracked powder runs on the backside of Aspen Mountain, followed by an intimate late lunch at a tucked-away cabin sound? Grab a coveted seat in The Little Nell Powder Cat via Aspen Mountain Powder Tours. Be aware this adventure is only available for strong intermediate to advanced skier/snowboarder guests of The Little Nell, the Residences at The Little Nell and the Limelight. The experience is $675 each, or $625 if your group of ten buys out the Cat.
Lessons with the Pros
After experiencing Inside Tracks, many guests are interested in taking a lesson from one of the Ski & Snowboard School of Aspen Snowmass pros. We'll be happy to connect our guests with the Ski & Snowboard School to facilitate the booking so they can get on the hill and learn more about the mountains and how to better their skiing.
Audi Snowshoe Experience

Once there, embark on an off-road tranquil and self-guided snowshoe hike through the Rocky Mountains. During this mountain adventure, you’ll experience the power and precision of Audi and go beyond the limits in style. We’ll provide you with an Audi SUV for up to four hours, snowshoes for up to seven guests and guidance on local trails from the Limelight concierge.
