Snowmass Mountain

Snowmass is the largest ski resort within Aspen Snowmass’ four mountain portfolio and one of the largest Colorado Ski resorts in general. It also offers the most varied terrain, ranging from a wonderful beginner experience, to wide groomed cruisers and expert choices of Burnt Mountain and the Cirque. Snowmass is the only mountain of the four that offers a “noon-groom” popular for those that may miss ripping down the corduroy on the groomers while getting their beauty rest.

Eat & Drink

On mountain dining mirrors the mountain; the options are vast and varied. Options include Elk Camp, Lynn Britt Cabin, Ullrhof, Sam’s, High Alpine, Alpin Room, Up 4 Pizza, and Two Creeks Café. There are also a multitude of dining options available on the Snowmass Mall, and Base Village.
