Have you seen Aspen on Hollywood movies or TV?

Aspen Mountain is famous in the US & perhaps all over the world too. The area has been shown in many television shows & Hollywood movies as the place where the rich & famous spend their winter vacations. Aspen is a fantastic place to have your family vacation. Some interesting facts about Aspen - top elevation of 11215 feet, vertical drop of 3269 feet, & lots of crowds at the ski slopes. No crowds at ski spots then you would have to travel up north to Alyeska. 76 trails are divided for beginners, intermediates, & experts. They are accessible by eight lifts, including seven chair lifts & one cable car line. Aspen is at its best during Christmas. A lot of nightlife activity & more than 100 restaurants for your dining pleasure. You will not find it tough to find ski instructors & equipment rentals in the area. Snowboarders are more than welcomed at Aspen too!

Do you think Aspen is only popular because a lot of rich people go to Aspen?
