Description
Snowmass is Aspen's modern satellite, and is popular with skiers who wish to take advantage of this varied area. The resort centre is modern and purpose built, witha small selection of shops and restaurants. Efficient free bus services link the resorts and mountains of the Aspen, Aspen Highland and Buttermilk mountains. The resort is popular with families due to its friendly lower slopes, and this will gain in popularity over the next few years.
