Aspen-Snowmass
|
|
|
If you where to describe Snowmass in a few words, adjectives such as breathtaking, exhilarating and huge would most probably pop up to describe the crown jewel of Colorado. Already famous for endless terrain (over 3,000 acres) and tons of snow (300 inches), Snowmass is now undergoing a renaissance like no other with two new gondolas, a new high-speed six pack and numerous on-mountain improvements. Snowmass also plays host to an expert terrain park and the heart pumping steeps in KT Gully, Hanging Valley and the Cirque. Add in fine dining and tons of slopeside shops and hotels and you’ve got a destination worth writing home about...if only to explain that you’re not coming home any time soon.
It’s in Snowmass where people suddenly ski like French Olympian Jean-Claude Killy and beginners fall in love with the sport. Meanwhile, experts feel they’ve hit the Mother Lode. But if you think, that Snowmass is limited to skiers you are in for a big surprise. Snowmass welcomes snowboarders and boasts a fantastic terrain garden and snowboard pipeline designed by world champion Jimmy Scott. There are 80 km of wide-open, groomed cross-country trails for the Nordic ski buff connecting Snowmass, Aspen and other parts of the spectacular Roaring Fork Valley. More than 90 percent of the resort’s hotels and condominiums are located slopeside, another reason why Snowmass has become one of the most popular resorts in the Rockies for family vacations.
Aspen gives access to 4 mountains, only 1 accessible directly from Aspen town. Each is big enough to keep you amused for a full day or more, but Snowmass is in a league of its own – almost 5 miles (8 km) across, with over 60 percent of Aspen’s total skiable acreage and the biggest vertical in the US. Snowmass has long been rated one of the best family ski areas in North America.
Located about 220 miles west of Denver, Aspen and Snowmass Village are easily accessible via I-70 and Colorado 82. Downtown Aspen is just three miles from the Aspen/Pitkin Country Airport and Snowmass Village is only five miles off Colorado 82 via Bush Creek Road.
