Snowmass is an Ideal Place to Ski

Located near Aspen, Colorado, Snowmass is a resort noted among skiers for its family-friendly atmosphere, convenient lodging, and challenging bowls, glades, chutes, cliffs, groomers and mogul runs on the slopes. It also has more vertical feet of skiing terrain than any other ski resort in the United States.

What It has to offer

Since it is an authentic ski-in, ski-out resort, one lift ticket here will give you access to Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk, and this is known as the popular “Power of Four.” (Some people even feel that these options provide visitors with the world’s best skiing.)

While these four mountains are near one another, they are not interconnected, and a free shuttle travels from one base to the other. For a small fee, you can give your skis and poles to an attendant when you leave the slopes, and they will be ready for you when you return the next morning.

Also, if you and your family are interested in purchasing a ski-vacation package, you can book your entire trip at snowmass.com or call 800-923-892 for more information. As a rule, it will include lodging, ski-lift tickets, transportation, and other amenities.

Lodging

Whatever your preference in lodging may be, you will find hotels, condos, inns, and vacation homes right on the ski slopes to suite every budget, and you can call (800) 308-6935 to plan your stay.

These accommodations come with multiple rooms, ensured privacy, complete kitchens, and other amenities that will add to the enjoyment of your trip whether you are traveling alone, with your family, or with a group.

With so many choices, you may want to stay at the luxurious Crestwood condominiums or the first-class Chamonix at River Run, or find lodging that is comfortable and more affordable at the Snowmass Inn or the Pokolodi Lodge. For more information, you can visit snowmasslodging.net.

Skiing

Ski-lift tickets can be purchased both onsite and online, and buying them in advance may be the economical way to go. Children who are six years of age and younger can ski for free, and senior skiers are offered a discount rate as well. (To purchase lift tickets, go to skisnowboard.com/snowmass/tickets.html)

In addition, you can sharpen your skills by signing up for ski lessons at Snowmass, and private lessons are also available. This is possible because the resort has more than 1,000 certified professional ski instructors, and they are always ready to work with skiers of varying ability from every age group.
