Snowmass, Colorado

With a vertical drop of 4,406 feet and 3,132 acres of terrain, the sheer volume of Snowmass demands repeat visits. After experiencing even a slice of all the cruisers, glades, steeps, terrain parks and halfpipes (via 21 lifts and 91 trails), we guarantee guests will be back for more. Families can continue their mountain journey in the Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center.
This season Snowmass will have a new Sheer Bliss high-speed quad chairlift, Sam's Smokehouse restaurant at the top of the Village Express chair, and Sneaky's Tavern for apres at base village.
