Aspen Hills is a ski hill off Aspen Hills Road near Mount Pleasant and Fairview, with one double chairlift. The Utah Lost Ski Area Project describes it as a Hjorth Brothers double moved from a ski area in Wyoming; a Lift Blog reader wrote in 2021 that it came used from the closed Frontierland area in 1980 and was set on new tower columns.1,2,3

Aspen Hills is a ski hill off Aspen Hills Road near Mount Pleasant and Fairview, with one double chairlift. The Utah Lost Ski Area Project describes it as a Hjorth Brothers double moved from a ski area in Wyoming; a Lift Blog reader wrote in 2021 that it came used from the closed Frontierland area in 1980 and was set on new tower columns. The project says the hill appears to have been running in 1997, with snowmaking, but lists its present status as unknown. A real estate page for lots in Aspen Hills pictures the ski lift and a ski office and warming house.1,2,3
