What’s up with The Collective?

The heart of Base Village has truly come to life with The Collective. Located just steps from the slopes and surrounded by lodging, The Collective is the epicenter of arts, culture, activities, and events. With everything from a bar and restaurant to a mammoth inspired ball pit, The Collective is the hub for events and activities every day of the week.

As you walk through the front doors, you’ll see Snowmass Base Village’s newest restaurant, Mawita. Mawita is a full service Mexican-inspired kitchen. Sharing the upper level is MoxiBar. While Mawita is a sit-down restaurant, MoxiBar offers a casual hang-out spot for those looking to get a little work done, meet friends for après, or enjoy a late night beverage. The MoxiBar menu includes cocktails, craft beer, and an impressive wine selection.

While the upstairs is an adult haven, the downstairs of the Collective is a kid magnet with the Game Lounge. The Game Lounge brings play time to a whole new interactive level. Light up foosball, ping pong in a tube, and classic Pac Man bring this unique space to life. Brightly colored walls become a live sound board as various stripes magically play different notes through the speaker system. Across the way is the giant coloring wall and a prehistoric themed ball pit. The ball pit is shaped like Zeigler Reservoir, where a trove of Ice Age fossils were found in 2010. All of these and more make the Game Lounge a must-see.

Throughout the winter, the community lounge features live music, art & entertainment performances, and speakers. Weekly activities such as Family Chess Club, Children’s Storytime, Community Bingo, and more round out the Collective’s programming through the winter.

Whether you are looking to kick your feet up one at one of the many fire pits, or let your inner child out in the Game Lounge, there truly is something for everyone at The Collective. The schedule is packed and constantly evolving. Be sure to check it out here!
