Rooftop bars are still open, and outdoor watering holes are getting cozy with hot drinks, ski-themed decorations and heated tents (no worries about frostbite here, folks). Click through the slide show below to see some awesome rooftop and garden options for the winter - it may not be Aspen proper, but when you sip a hot toddy and check out the views, it feels pretty close.
