Snowboarders Welcome

Maybe it's Snowmass' open glades, where wide arching turns are easy to make and powder stashes are easy to find, or perhaps it's the massive 4,406 vertical feet of lift-served terrain and 3,342 acres that ensure that you can rack up the vertical and maximize the laps, but Snowmass was built for snowboarders. With an average of only two people per acre, you've got plenty of elbow room.

Three terrain parks and two halfpipes provide the perfect angles to catch big air. Best of all, although Snowmass has enough terrain to ensure you need never leave, one lift ticket gets you access to Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk, which is home of the Winter X Games, Toyota Grand Prix, and the Snow League - all iconic snowboard events where the pros come to play.
