Snowmass at Aspen
Cirquerider 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.

Snowmass is a large ski area with a top elevation of 12510',4460' vertical, 21 lifts and 3010 acres. The area has a wide variety of terrain with a lot of long cruising groomed runs, a few small bowls and chutes in The Cirque and some good tree skiing in the Hanging Valley. This is a well developed destination area with many slopeside condos and restaurants. The Cirque T-Bar claims to be the highest in North America. From the top there are spectacular views of some 14000' peaks.
