Long famous for the Big Burn, Snowmass has introduced even higher and vaster terrain for all abilities, thanks to the Cirque lift, which brings you the longest lift-served vertical in the United States.

Accessible by free shuttle from anywhere in the Aspen/Snowmass area, Snowmass is located just 12 miles from downtown Aspen. The only true ski-in/ski-out resort in Colorado, Snowmass Village, rests at its base.
