Snowmass Village, Aspen

Great Skiing at SnowmassAspen

The Top of the Village is a fantastic luxury ski in ski out location. It is complemented by a free resort shuttle bus, available on demand.

The ski equipment rentals were handled in a smooth efficient way, and the skiing at Snawmass was fantastic, with knee deep powder everywhere.

When you have done with Snowmass, try Aspen, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk, all on the same lift ticket. Wow great place, great value.

It''s a serious skiers must do.

Great resort but beginners beware

We loved Sunpeaks, everything nearby, really friendly staff everywhere and nothing was too much trouble. My husband is a good skier, I love it, but I am less confident.  For those of my ability, the choice of cruisy runs were good, but either very short or very long.  So when tired, you had to be prepared to stop or do a long run as your last for the day. 

This would not be ideal for beginners or those with less confidence. The short runs back to the village were more challenging for my level. Wouldn't stop me going back though especially if the powder is that good all season, awesome!

MILES OF SKI RUNS

Snowmass is a huge area that caters for all abilities and my favourite. There are loads of runs which are groomed every three days allowing a range of groomed to gentle moguls to challenging mogul runs.  The snow is light and dry and magic. Every lift has blue runs but for the more intrepid there is black, double black and extreme. I skied for two weeks and cannot wait to go back again.  If you want a change then take the free bus to the other three resorts linked by the ski pass for even more variety. Even though 2011/12 was a poor season by Aspen standards it was far better than a good season in Australia.
