History
The Ritz-Carlton Club, Aspen Highlands, opened in 2001 as part of the new Aspen Highlands Village in Colorado, and was the Ritz-Carlton's very first luxury fractional (private residence) club. It was built on the vision that grew from Whip Jones's 1950s dream of Aspen Highlands as a bold, independent skier's mountain.
The mixed-use development pioneered a blend of private residential ownership, luxury lodging, and village life at the base of Aspen Highlands, and celebrated its 25th anniversary in early 2026.
