Aspen Snowmass

If you’re keen you can catch the first lift at 8:30 am and hop on the last lift at 3:45 pm. Lines are not a problem: even if lodgings were at full capacity, and every single guest were to be on the slopes at the same time—an unlikely scenario—the mountains would still average only three people per acre. The results for visitors are no long lift lines to wait in, and lots of open space in which to experience the wonderful exhilaration of skiing and riding. Aspen has eight lifts (including a gondola), Buttermilk has nine; Highlands five, and Snowmass 22.

Lift passes
Aspen's lift pass covers all four mountain areas and guests may have their equipment transferred at the end of the day to any of the four mountains in Aspen/Snowmass for only US$5. The equipment will be waiting at the base of the mountain the next morning. Guests may also store their equipment overnight at any mountain.

There are no reduced price schemes, so everyone must buy a regular lift ticket (which requires an ID photo), but there is free skiing and boarding for children six years and under.  Lift tickets are available at some lodges, at the base of each mountain, or through the offical website at www.aspensnowmass.com.

To rent or buy ski equipment, D&E Snowboard Shop & Ski Rental and Pro Mountain Sports have a complete selection of adult and children’s ski and snowboard packages available at convenient locations at the base of each mountain, plus free inter-mountain equipment transfers.
