Aspen and Snowmass Village are at about 8,000 feet in elevation.
At these altitudes the ultraviolet rays are more intense and proper sunscreen should be applied at least every four hours.
Proper sunglasses with UV protection are also necessary to protect the eyes from sunburn.
Altitude sickness at these elevations can cause nausea, insomnia, diarrhea, constipation, restlessness, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, headache, nasal congestion, cough, and fatigue.
It is important to be aware of these symptoms and drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol, caffeine and salty foods.
Give yourself one day to acclimate to the altitude and then have a great time seeing the sites.
