The Ski-In Ski-Out Lifestyle
Snowmass is one of America’s finest destination ski resorts. The ski hill was founded in 1967 and has become the center of property development in the Aspen area, with several large condos constructed since 2018.
Snowmass Village is a manufactured ski village, while Aspen is an old mining town repurposed into a ski town. Therefore, while Snowmass doesn’t have the historical charm and cultural offerings of Aspen, it has several advantages. The base village of Snowmass Mountain is home to the Aspen area’s widest selection of ski-in ski-out condos. Snowmass Mountain is enormous, about three times the size of Aspen Mountain, and has slopes for all levels.
Snowmass condos are newer and oftentimes more luxurious than their similarly priced counterparts in Aspen. While Snowmass is by no means comparable to Aspen from a cultural perspective, downtown Aspen is only 15 minutes away.

Things To Do In Snowmass
Skiing at Snowmass Mountain
Snowmass is a state-of-the-art luxury destination resort. Its 4,406-foot vertical drop and 3,342 acres of terrain are perfect for skiers of all levels, though this mountain will quickly become the favorite of skiers who typically spend a few weeks a year on the slopes.
Snowmass is particularly great for tree skiing. Its abundant forests have been purposely gladed in addition to plentiful natural forest zones. The glades here are much easier than at Highlands and Aspen, meaning intermediates can get a good introduction to the beauty of off-piste skiing.
Meanwhile, if you want to stick to the groomers, there are plenty of them at Snowmass. The mountain is plastered with long, blue groomers, though there isn’t as much in the way of green or black slopes. The Cirque zone offers a slice of expert terrain, though it doesn’t quite compare to the steep and deep that you can find at Aspen Highlands or Aspen Mountain.
Perhaps best of all, the mountain receives plenty of sun, perfect for carving down blue slopes with your friends and family.
Skiing at Aspen
Just because you’re located slopeside at Snowmass Mountain doesn’t mean you should miss out on the other Aspen ski resorts. Buttermilk Mountain is the perfect destination for beginners and families. Sun-soaked trails are groomed to perfection each night by a world-class team.
Aspen Mountain, the “town hill,” is uniquely suited to experts. Only a few other ski resorts in the U.S. can claim steeps like Aspen’s first ski hill. Outrageously large moguls dominate the majority of slopes. Take some inspiration by watching locals flow down them.
Aspen Highlands is another paradise for expert skiers, famous for its “Highland Bowl,” which occupies the northern flanks of Highland Peak. The Bowl is one of the world’s great lift-access powder runs. It’s not all lift access; skiers and riders must commit to a 30-minute hike to the summit. Once there, however, the deep snow and perfect pitch make for best-of-your-life type turns.
Snowmass Bike Park
Snowmass Bike Park has revolutionized Snowmass Mountain, now a year-round resort. Many Aspen locals ride bikes more often than they ski here.
Unlike the ski mountain, which caters to intermediate riders, the bike park is well-suited to all levels, including experts. As with most bike parks, the best trails are definitely in the intermediate to expert range. The fun starts with French Press, the mountain’s longest flow trail. Prepare for high speed and also some pedal-y bits; this trail is a workout by the time you get to the bottom.
Perhaps the bike park’s strongest suit is its single-black trails. Valhalla, Animal Crackers, and Cowboy Coffee are all well-built. Valhalla is a machine-built jump trail with a bunch of tabletop jumps that can be safely rolled by budding intermediates and styled out by expert riders. Animal Crackers and Cowboy Coffee are newer steep tech trails with drops and rock gardens. Gonzo is the park’s double-black freestyle line with monster gap jumps. All the local kids have been training on the airbag and can now throw backflips off some of the features.
Aspen Downtown
Of course, Aspen’s downtown scene is world-famous for its reputation as a playground for the rich and famous. Aspen’s original vision, conceived by Walter and Elizabeth Paepcke, is to be a utopia for mind, body, wellness, spirit, and nature. In Aspen, people could “earn a living, profit by healthy physical recreation, with facilities at hand for his enjoyment of art, music, and education,” as stated by Walter Paepcke himself. This has become known as the “Aspen Lifestyle.”
Aspen’s “renaissance” took the town further than anyone could have possibly imagined, including the Paepckes. Aspen’s downtown is now home to cultural institutions across the spectrum, including the Aspen Art Museum, the Aspen Music School & Festival, and the Aspen Institute.
The dining scene features offerings from a diverse set of countries, from casual to fine. The Belly Up is one of Colorado’s great venues, with music nearly every night during the high seasons. Aspen’s shopping scene rivals that of Paris and Milan, complete with global luxury brands and local outfitters.
Aspen Mountain rises directly out of downtown, and the Roaring Fork River flows through several different neighborhoods. The town is home to many restored Victorian mining homes and the Aspen Historical Society, located in the Wheeler House.
Fortunately, all this is just a 15-minute drive from Snowmass Village. It’s one of the biggest draws of Snowmass. Many condos in the base Village have free shuttle services for owners, available whenever you want to dip into downtown.
Maroon Snowmass Wilderness
In summer, some of the Aspen area’s best hiking is just out the back door from Snowmass. Just follow the Divide Road out of the Base Village until you reach the Maroon Snowmass Trailhead, the gateway to the Maroon Snowmass Wilderness.
Horseback Riding
Wilderness areas, although heavily regulated, are fair game for equestrians. The Roaring Fork Valley is home to dozens of equestrian outfitters as well as private equestrian estates. The community is thriving, and Snowmass, Brush Creek Village, and Old Snowmass are some of the best places to ride.
JAS Festival
The Jazz Aspen Experience is a long-standing summer festival with two main events. The June festival takes place in downtown Aspen and features more traditional Jazz acts, while the Labor Day festival, which lasts three days in Snowmass Town Park, hosts some of the world’s biggest pop acts. It’s become Aspen’s largest festival, with about 10,000 daily attendees.
