Snowmass Resort
Within the 25-square-mile Snowmass Resort Village you will find the second largest ski mountain in Colorado and nearly 150 miles of trails, which connect to the largest network of free groomed Nordic trails in the U.S. It’s worth noting that “Snowmass has the longest lift-served vertical rise in the U.S. and was the first in the country to have a lift operated solely by clean, renewable wind power. Chris Davenport, World Extreme Skiing Champion, says,”The fact is, Snowmass has some of the best steeps, cliffs, backcountry, terrain parks, and powder anywhere in North America.” This lovely example of Colorado village hospitality shines as both a wonderful ski resort and a summertime mecca. Come to play, and stay – in Snowmass.

There are some great new features to tell you about this season: The Sheer Bliss Lift is a quad lift which will carry riders 2,212 vertical feet, 155 feet more than the old Sheer Bliss chair and will have a ride time of just over nine minutes. The Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center is still new and the largest project we’ve undertaken. This is where it all begins for families. “The Treehouse stands as the first of its kind in the snowsports industry, boasting a family-friendly alpine climber, teen activities, kids’ retail and a host of themed rooms for kids ages eight-weeks and up. The unique design of The Treehouse shares the wonder of the mountain environment in tactile, fun and educational ways for every family to enjoy.” You can join the fun from anywhere in Snowmass. We offer underground parking, free shuttle buses, ski-in/ski-out access and much more.
Snowmass is proud to be the second largest ski resort in Colorado; 3000 acres of skiable terrain ranging from beginner to expert. As a premier year-round destination, we offer “free family activities, convenient lodging, and a mountain of adventures, including campfire sing-a-longs.” It’s easy to get here, as we are located only 9 miles from the Aspen airport in the fantastic “Fourteener Range” near the 14,000-foot peaks of the Elk Mountain Range. No matter what the occasion, Snowmass is a wonderful destination to visit. We welcome you and your family to join the fun and be our guest!
