Snowmass Village, Colorado

FacebookTwitter

Aspen’s ski town neighbor, Snowmass Village hosts the largest collection of ski-in/ski-out residences anywhere in Colorado. It’s situated just ten minutes from downtown Aspen, and home to Snowmass Mountain, one of the “Power of Four” ski areas.

Recreation is outside your door in the mostly resort-type village. The main town is Snowmass Village Mall, which is located up the side of the ski area from the base. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to visit. After its peak winter season, it quiets down a lot, and most folks head into Aspen for entertainment and supplies.

Main Attractions

Snowmass Resort – It’s the biggest of the four Aspen resort mountains, and offers the most variety. It features everything from steep bowls and narrow tree skiing, to open cruisers and bunny slopes. There’s also snow tubing, available all winter. In the summer it turns into Snowmass Bike Park.

Lost Forest Adventure Park  – This summer adventure park showcases a myriad of alpine activities from disc golf to an aerial park. Different ages and abilities will find a suitable attraction. Part of Lost Forest, the Breathtaker Alpine Coaster is open in the winter as well, in addition to the Lost Forest season from late June through September.
