Nothing Beats a Slopeside Stay in Snowmass

Like European villages tucked between slopes in the Alps, everything is close. The concept is not just that the ski slopes are right out the front door, but that you should be able to walk to everything you want to enjoy. At Snowmass, 95% of our lodging is slopeside. A ski-in ski-out stay makes everything easier.

There is a reason slopeside lodging is the most sought-after spot for skiers or snowboarders looking for the best access to the slopes. Starting your day slopeside is hassle-free. Let’s be honest, it’s not much fun to walk around in ski boots. Take the long treks and gear schlepping out of the equation and you have more time to enjoy the turns all day.

The best moment of the day is when your legs are tired from skiing and you don’t have to tromp around a snowy street or navigate a bus ride. Just ski back to your front door. After you kick off your ski boots there is still plenty to do in Snowmass, whether that’s the après scene or a little retail therapy, everything is within walking distance. There is no need for a car or the stress of parking. With the Sky Cab Gondola between the Snowmass Mall and Base Village, everything is easily accessed.

If you need a day off from the slopes, free shuttles create convenience. At Snowmass you get more time to do what you came to do – skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice skating, winter tubing, and more.

From large hotels like Viceroy Snowmass with a lift right out its front door to the slopeside condos at Top of the Village, there are dozens of options for your slopeside stay in Snowmass. Ski trips should be easy, there are enough moving parts that getting to the slopes should be the last thing you need to think about. And in Snowmass, when you stay ski-in ski-out, the world is at your ski tips.

Jordan Curet is a photographer and writer, based in Aspen. Being landlocked in Colorado was not an option so she began exploring her backyard by snowboard and SUP, from skinning up Rocky Mountain peaks to surfing river waves. With a work hard play hard mentality, she can be found most often in the outdoors. Year-round adventures abound in the Rockies and beyond mean an endless supply of adventure photos and stories. Jordan never leaves home without a camera, because here in the mountains you never know when the next adventure will begin.
