Snowmass
Village is like the quiet, unpretentious neighbor who turns
out to be vivacious upon closer acquaintance.
Within this 25-square-mile town resides the second largest
ski mountain in Colorado offering nearly 150 miles of
trails. Surrounded by a spectacularly scenic wilderness
area, Snowmass also connects to the largest network of free
groomed Nordic trails in the U.S. It’s no coincidence that
part of our name is synonymous with “magnitude” and
“substance.” Stats lovers take note: 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, couloirs, backcountry, terrain parks, and powder anywhere in North America." And yet Snowmass is not your typical mountain town. One need only glimpse the grand splendor of Mount Daly and the faces of people coming off the slopes to understand that this town’s core lies not on a main street but amidst a fertile landscape of adventure and rejuvenation. The mountain is our main street, our mecca, our coffee shop, our office. We swap gossip on chairlifts, catch up as we catch air on the terrain parks and trails. We live for powder days and for the glimpses of the elk, fox, and deer who share this unique Shangri-la. Snowmass, then, is pure mountain town. Steeped in ranching history, defined by its scenic mass, flanked by charming boutiques, restaurants, and 95% slope-side accommodations, Snowmass offers more potential for mountain stories than ever before. We’re celebrating more than ever as well. In 2007 the ski mountain turns 40, the town turns 30, and the Renaissance of Snowmass hits full stride with the opening of the new $17 million 25,000-square-foot children's center. We invite you to stop by for a visit. Our door is always open and we think you’ll find this neighbor is one worth getting to know. |
