Adventures in Snowmass Village, Colorado
Snowmass Village sits 8 miles from Aspen at 8,208 feet elevation, connected to the city by the free Roaring Fork Transportation Authority shuttle. While Snowmass is best known for its ski resort — consistently ranked among the top three ski areas in Colorado — it offers extraordinary year-round outdoor recreation that most visitors never discover.
The Snowmass Trail Network alone offers 50+ miles of world-class mountain biking singletrack. The Snowmass Creek Trail penetrates deep into the Snowmass Wilderness, reaching the flanks of Capitol Peak (14,130 ft) and Snowmass Mountain (14,092 ft). In winter, Snowmass's consistent deep powder snowpack makes it prime snowshoeing terrain.
