Understand why 70 percent of all visitors return to this beautiful mountain valley, and why you’ll keep coming back, year after year.

This is Snowmass Village, Colorado. Located just 9 miles from downtown Aspen and surrounded by some of the most stunning mountain scenery in the country, Snowmass is home to the Snowmass Ski Resort — the second-largest Colorado ski resort, with more than 3,000 acres of beginner groomed trails, outstanding intermediate cruising runs and exhilarating off-piste expert terrain. For the single board rider, you will find spines, table jumps, terrain parks and half-pipes spread over a mountain with a vertical drop of 4,406 feet. With 23 lifts and 90 trails that include an abundance of intermediate-to-expert ski runs, Snowmass offers something for everyone.

But incredible snow riding is just one reason to come to Snowmass. In addition to skiing, snowboarding and sledding in winter, this four-season Colorado resort is near hiking trails, road and mountain trail cycling, fishing streams and golf courses. Snowmass also features delightful shops and superb restaurants, outdoor concerts and festivals, and the Snowmass Village Pedestrian Mall. And don’t forget — with Aspen only minutes away, you can also experience everything that chic, urban resort has to offer.
