Snowmass Ski Area, Skiing

Winter time in Snowmass is a lot of fun! Enjoy skiing, snowboarding, tubing, snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing, 10th Mountain Division hut tours, sledding, dogsled rides, sleigh rides, snowmobiling, and more. You'll never run out of something to do.

If you're an advanced or expert skier, Snowmass is the place to be. It offers something called Adrenaline Sessions Intensive. These half-day clinics are designed for advanced and expert skiers, and are held every week of the winter season. These clinics offer a quick introduction to help guests improve their skills with bumps, powder, steeps, crud, terrain parks, and pipes.

Snowmass's Nordic trail system is also excellent. The Aspen/Snowmass Nordic Trail System was originally developed to preserve cross-country skiing in Aspen and Snowmass.

This Nordic Trail System is unique in North America because it links the two towns of Aspen and Snowmass Village by way of the Owl Creek Trail. Owl Creek travels through meadows, wooded areas, and valleys.

The Snowmass Club is another great feature in the area. It offers a full service athletic club, as well as the Sage Restaurant. The Snowmass Golf Course has an excellent cross-country ski center as well.

Offering varied ski trails, breathtaking vistas, solid amenities, restaurants, athletic clubs, and training facilities, the Aspen/Snowmass Nordic Trail System provides visitors with a unique ski experience you just can't find anywhere else in the world.

The trail system offers 60 kilometers of groomed skiing, making it the largest free groomed cross-country ski system in North America. Most trails are groomed for classic and skate skiing; some trails are classic-only.

You can access the system from various locations. Almost all the trailheads are accessible by taking free public transportation. However, the system is not patrolled so keep this in mind when determining what trails are appropriate and safe for you.

No matter what your background, Snowmass offers something to be enjoyed. The food is delicious, the sights and sounds are gorgeous, and there's always fun to be had. Visit Snowmass for a memorable experience in Colorado.
