Introduction

Snowmass is the biggest of the resorts that make up the Aspen area, and the second largest resort in Colorado. With its four seperate peaks, Snowmass is an impressive resort with a lot going for it and warmly welcomes snowboarders. The 1,246 metres of vertical available here, means you don't have to go anywhere else. Snowmass is mainly an advanced/intermediate rider's retreat, with a good choice of double black diamond runs and trails through trees, steeps and awesome powder making this a place where everyone can get a fix.
