Best known for: Wide-open, groomed cruising and family-friendly activities. Snowmass has long been rated one of the best family ski areas in North America.
Best-kept secret: Dine for lunch at the rustic Lynn Britt Cabin located mid-mountain. The daily “Noon Groom,” a freshly groomed run that reopens at noon. Take the short hike to the Long Shot trail where intermediate skiers and snowboarders can get a backcountry experience while in-bounds.
What’s new: With millions of dollars in on-mountain improvements in the last six years — including the Sheer Bliss quad chairlift, the Elk Camp Gondola, the Elk Camp learning area, the industry-leading Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center, seven new restaurants, an overhauled Snow Park Technologies terrain park, 100% hands-free gates with NEW direct-to-lift capabilities and Snowmass base village — and the best skiing and riding experience anywhere, there has never been a better time to visit Snowmass.
