Located 12 miles from Aspen and sharing its lift pass, Snowmass offers 90% ski-in lodging and free postcards and stamps to anyone wanting to write home about their experiences on North America's longest half-pipe. In 1997, the installation of a high altitude surface lift to access the powder filled bowls of The Cirque, previously only available with the aid of a snowcat or a hike, gave it the biggest lift-served vertical drop in the country.
The poma lift on The Cirque operates 60 to 75 days of the year accessing terrain suited to intermediates and experts. The purpose of the limited access is to prevent over-exploitation of the terrain and a surface lift can operate in windy conditions that could stop a chair.
** Nordic: The Snowmass Club Nordic Center has over 80 km of groomed trails, and access to the trails is free. Equipment rental, lessons, snack bar, and health club are available. For information call 970-923-3148 or 800-525-6200.

reviewed April 22, 2009 at 3:41 pm Snowmass has something for almost anyone, from huge sweeping intermediate terrain in the Big Burn to the steeps and cliffs of the KT Gully, Hanging Valley and the Cirque. Snowmass offers lots of lifts with low crowd densities and a good skiing layout. Leave the car in the lot and ski for a week without ever driving again. You can reach the other mountains of Aspen by convenient and frequent bus routes.
Snowmass caters to convention groups and families and is excellent for either. EpicSki Academy has held camps there in January each year and made use of the terrain, meeting facilities, lodging, restaurants, bars and transportation.
