We get it…
You’re sick and tired of hunkering down at home, on-edge and bored to tears, controlled by the Covid-19 pandemic–we all are. You’re desperate to get away, to do something fun before you lose your mind. Well… the Aspen 2020/2021 ski season might provide the solution.

If you love winter as much as we do, some outdoor fun in the sun and snow might be just what the doctor ordered. So why not take a ski vacation in beautiful Aspen and Snowmass, Colorado?

We know… you’re not sure if it’s safe or if the resorts will even be open. You’re wondering if it will still be fun.  And you’re worried you might lose your reservation money if things get locked down again before you’re scheduled to arrive (or after you get there).

Well, we have some good news for you!

Aspen Snowmass is open and is planning for a fantastic 2020/2021 ski season. The Aspen Skiing Company (SkiCo) and local community are bending over backward to ensure that you’ll be safe and that the mountains, restaurants, and shops are open and ready to welcome you.

We’re doing everything we can to make sure you have as enjoyable and memorable winter vacation as ever. But, if we need to shut things down again to protect your health and safety, we’ve got you covered there as well. 

The Mountains Will Be Open and Prioritizing Safety

The SkiCo has worked tirelessly to get all the necessary plans and procedures in place to safely begin the 2020/2021 ski season. Here are the opening dates for the local mountains:

Aspen Snowmass Opening Dates

Keeping You Safe

The SkiCo is still finalizing Covid-19-related plans and procedures. They will follow local public health department and State of Colorado guidelines. 

They will, as required, present final plans to local public health departments (lpha) for approval.  Once approved, the lpha will submit the plans to the state for final sign-off before the season begins.

Here are some of the procedures and requirements already in the plan:

 

Masks Will Be Required

Staff and guests will be required to cover their mouths and noses in lift lines and public areas of lodges. They will also be required when entering and moving about in on-mountain restaurants and when riding area shuttles.

 

Physical Distancing Will Be Facilitated and Enforced

Keeping individuals and unrelated parties physically separated is an integral part of the safety plan. Here are some of the specifics:

• The SkiCo will require parties in lift lines to be separated by at least 6 feet in all directions and will also provide appropriate reminder signs. Their employees will monitor this as well. Additionally, they will realign lift lines and will include “ghost” lanes to provide maximum lift line customer spacing

• Gondola cabin and lift chair capacity will be limited according to state guidelines. Specifically:  “Ski area guests will not be required to ride on a chairlift or gondola with people outside of their party. Individuals who are not from the same party may ride a chairlift together with a minimum of one seat separating the unrelated individuals or parties; however, ski areas should generally encourage more space between different parties when possible.”

• The SkiCo will also set up outdoor tents outside five of the ski areas’ restaurants to increase space for socially-distanced on-mountain dining.

 

Contactless Is the Name of the Game

To further limit close contact between individuals, the SkiCo will provide the following contactless features:

• Touchless lift ticket kiosks

• Grab-and-Go meals from the on-mountain restaurants

• Mobile app access to add additional days to lift tickets, order and pay for meals, and pay for lessons and rentals.

 

Tickets, Reservations, and Cancellation Policies

Ticket and Pass Information

The Aspen Skiing Company works hard to provide a pass and ticketing program that optimizes the experience for passholders, day ticket guests, and the local community. This includes local, Ikon, and Mountain passholders. The focus is on effective social distancing and volume management.

Please visit their website for current options tickets and passes for the 2020/2021 Aspen Snowmass ski season.

 

Will I Need To Make Reservations for the Aspen 2020/2021 Ski Season?

To provide as much flexibility as possible, the SkiCo is avoiding instituting a required mountain access reservation system. But they have developed the capacity to do so if necessary.

According to their website, they may require reservations “across all products” if an increase in community spread of Covid-19 initiates additional restrictions and regulations from state and local health agencies.

If they do decide to launch a reservation system, they will notify concerned parties through targeted emails, their website, and their social media platforms. You may join their email list here to receive important, related communications.

In the meantime, SkiCo is also trying to spread out mountain usage to traditionally “non-peak” times. They are encouraging locals and visitors to ski and snowboard on weekdays instead of just weekends. And they are reminding guests that volume may become limited at any time. So those who have already secured their tickets will be granted priority access.

To limit same-day ticket purchases that might challenge any daily skier caps, they are also rewarding those who plan ahead by offering a 15% discount on all ticket prices if purchased before December 4th, 2020.

 

What Is the Cancellation and Refund Policy for Aspen Snowmass in 2020/2021?

The State of Colorado guidelines state that ski areas should: “Promote rescheduling and refund flexibility to encourage guests to stay home when sick.” 

The SkiCo, for its part, has issued the following statement: 

“All unused 2020-2021 season passes are fully refundable through November 20, 2020. After November 20, 2020 passes are nonrefundable and unused days have no value. However, Multi-Event Insurance through Travel Guard is available for purchase to cover your investment. Click here to learn more about Travel Guard.

If we are shut down due to Covid-19 for 10 or more days of the season, we will issue refunds, prorated for each day we are fully shut down compared to our published season dates, for all Aspen Snowmass passes, except the Valley 7-Pack and Classic Pass. For example, if we are forced to shut down entirely for a total of 25% of the days during our published season dates, then all passholders would receive a 25% refund of the purchase price. Refunds will not be issued in the event we implement a reservation system…”

On-Mountain Improvements for 2020/2021

Snowmaking Capability Added to the Top of Aspen Mountain

Starting this year, Aspen Mountain will finally have “top-to-bottom” snowmaking. They recently added this capability to portions of the Silver Bell Trail. This provides man-made snow from the summit of the mountain to the previous snowmaking upper limit.

Even if early season conditions are dry, skiers and Snowboarders will now be able to enjoy the upper portions of the mountain once temperatures dip and stay low enough to make snow.

New Six-Passenger, High-Speed Chairlift in Snowmass

The SkiCo has also recently replaced the Big Burn lift on Snowmass with a new high-speed, six-passenger chairlift. This will cut the ride time to just seven minutes and will assist with current Covid-19 physical distancing measures.

Please visit the Aspen Snowmass website for information about other recent improvements at Snowmass.

How Will This Affect Uphill skiing?

 

The SkiCo will require uphillers to stick to specifically designated routes. They might monitor these routes for capacity restrictions and even close them, if necessary, to comply with local and State Guidelines.

Aspen Snowmass 2020/2021 Uphilling Policy Highlights

• Buttermilk, Snowmass, and Aspen Highlands: will still provide uphilling access during operating hours

• Aspen Mountain: Same as before – no uphill access during operating hours

• Uphillers will have to follow designated, signed routes during operating hours

• No uphilling allowed during Holiday blackout periods (Dec. 26 through Jan. 2 and Feb. 13 and 14)

• Possible closures of designated routes if capacity limitations are required

What About the Winter X Games and Other Annual Events?

We know many people also plan their ski vacation in Aspen and Snowmass to take advantage of the high-profile annual events that take place here. As with everything else this year, these events have had to be nimble and adjust to the times.

Here is what you can expect in 2020/2021:

Winter X Games

The Aspen Skiing Company is currently moving ahead with tentative plans to host the Winter X Games in 2021, but ESPN is still evaluating the situation.

SkiCo is planning to allow in-person patronage, but they have not determined exactly how this might work.. The current safety environment dictates that the focus might shift to promoting the televised event.

For the latest scoop on the X Games, please visit the Aspen Chamber website for more details.

IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHAT TO DO IN SNOWMASS THIS YEAR, HERE YOU GO:

 

Skiing and Snowboarding (for Every Skill Level)

Let’s just start with the obvious…

With over 3,000 skiable acres, Snowmass is a giant of a mountain. There’s plenty of ski terrain here for every skill level—from the tender beginner to the adrenaline-fueled cliff jumper.

Snowmass also boasts the longest run in North America. Even their convenient gondola and lift systems are fast and fun! Simply put— Snowmass is the place to be this winter for world-class skiing and snowboarding. To see trail maps, buy lift tickets, and learn more about the Snowmass’s impressive stats, click here.

Off the slopes, the nearby Village, itself, is buzzing with activity. Once you’ve slipped out of your skis, you’ll find plenty of things to do in Snowmass!

Yoga in the Mountains (Get Your “OM” on at Altitude)

Whether you’re warming up for the slopes or stretching out your over-skied muscles, a yoga class will certainly help. The Collective Snowmass hosts classes in both winter and summer in the Snowmass Base Village. They’ll feature popular local instructors weekly. 

Want to get your “om” on independently? Make your way up to Spiral Point at the top of the Rim Trail. Here you’ll find a huge marble platform decorated Yin Yang style with breathtaking views of the mountains. Locals keep it cleared of snow in the winter. If you go, wear your warmest yoga pants!

Hot Air Ballooning (Rise above it ALL in Snowmass)

Are the Snowmass chair lifts, gondolas, and mountain tops not high enough for you? Then book a trip on a majestic, serene hot air balloon. Imagine seeing the Rocky Mountain peaks and the entire Roaring Fork Valley from high above while a technicolor sunrise lights up the sky. It’s a magical experience.

You’ll float quietly above the peaks and valleys, then touch down to a champagne brunch. Whether you’re looking for a family adventure in the clouds or a romantic trip for two, Above It All Balloon Company can give you a unique and unforgettable experience. 

Anderson Ranch Arts Center (And You Thought All the Beauty Was Outdoors)

Located in Snowmass Village, the Anderson Ranch Arts Center is the artistic and cultural hub of Snowmass. Artists and art-lovers alike will love the workshops, gallery displays, and visiting artist lecture series. 

Take a self-guided tour and marvel at the ranch’s colorful past. Peek inside their state-of-the-art studios. Take a painting or sculpting class. Make sure to stop by the gift shop for unique, local artwork and souvenirs.

Snowmass Rodeo (A Western Experience in the Colorado Mountains)

Every Wednesday during the summer months, see traditional rodeo events at the Snowmass Rodeo! From bull riding, to barrel racing, and dally ribbon roping, get your cowboy on from 5 pm each week.

The event also features a petting zoo, a mechanical bull, Western clothing vendors, and fantastic local barbeque food. The Snowmass rodeo is fun for the whole family and a unique Colorado experience!

Snowmass Lanes & Lounge (Bowling Like You’ve Never Experienced it Before)

Slip off the skis and slip into some retro bowling shoes. The Snowmass Lanes and Lounge is the perfect spot for some nighttime family fun or a great date night. With six professional bowling lanes, there’s plenty of opportunity for some friendly competition. 

There’s also a live DJ, billiard tables, foosball, a huge projection screen and lounge area, and dartboards. Nibble on delicious wood-fired pizza and gourmet burgers. Sip on craft beer and cocktails. An upscale, luxury vibe gives you a feeling of comfort rarely experienced at a bowling alley. 

Snowmass S’Mores (Around a Firepit!)

This classic, family-friendly tradition occurs daily during winter at the Snowmass Base Village and Mall. It’s already been lovingly nicknamed S’Mass S’Mores. Visit the firepits from 3:30 pm for your fix!

Kids of all ages will delight in roasting gooey marshmallows. Then top them off with traditional—and not-so-traditional—toppings. See who can make up the most interesting and appetizing combo. It’s the perfect way for families to wind down during après-ski time—and fuel up with a bit of a sugar buzz!

Snowmass Art Walk (Ok, Some of the Local Artistic Beauty IS Outside)

While visiting Snowmass, it’s hard to miss the impressive Art Walk. Interspersed throughout the village, the eclectic sculptures are a feast for the eyes. 

The trail is intended “to express the town’s appreciation for community, self-expression, and celebration of life through public art by linking all areas of the town with a shared space of connectivity.” Click here to view a map of the trail, with the different notable artists highlighted.

Ice Skating (Under Twinkling Lights and a Campfire Glow)

During the winter months, Snowmass Base Village offers free ice skating and rentals from 1 pm- 9 pm daily! Located in the center of the base village outside the Limelight Snowmass.

Twirl around the rink under a starry sky before warming up by a firepit with hot chocolate. For more fun, family-friendly activities in Snowmass, visit The Collective, Snowmass’s newest hub!

Snowmass Summer Concert Series (Live Music in the Mountains)

From June to August every Thursday, Fanny Hill in Snowmass comes alive with a free concert series. Starting at 6:30 pm every Thursday in summer, bring a picnic and enjoy live music with an incredible mountain backdrop.

This concert series offers a fantastic lineup of musicians each year from bluegrass to rock and funk music. Next time you visit Snowmass during summer, check out the Thursday concert!

Lost Forest Adventure Center (An Adrenaline Adventure for All)

Imagine zip lining over a forest of aspen trees, traversing a rope course, or riding an alpine coaster. This is all possible at the Lost Forest in Snowmass!

This adventure center features a zipline, ropes course, the Breathtaker Alpine Coaster, a flyfishing pond, hiking trails, disc golf, paintballing, and a climbing wall. The Lost Forest promises a fun adventure in Snowmass for the whole family. The center is open all summer, with the alpine coaster offered year-round.

Snowmass Bike Park (Cruise Through Endless Trails)

For adventure-seekers, look no further than the Snowmass Bike Park. Mountain bike through 25 miles of trails winding through wildflowers, boulders, aspen trees, and more. This park provides everything from cruising terrain to steep, rocky descents.

Aspen Snowmass offers bike rentals from Four Mountain Sports and clinics for all levels at the Snowmass Bike Park.

Restaurants & Groceries (Where to Get A Delicious Meal in Snowmass)

After a day on the slopes or sightseeing, it’s always nice to tuck into a warm, cozy restaurant to refuel. 

Stop by Slice of Italy for some cheesy garlic bread or a slice of their famous Double Diamond Five Cheese Pizza. Simple, casual, delicious. And always hits the spot.

The New Belgium Ranger Station invites you to “stop in for a bite and a brew—stay for the inviting atmosphere and positive vibes.” Sounds good to us! 

They have twelve beers on tap. There’s also hand-crafted cocktails and an extensive wine list sure to please any après skier. Try their Hot Tots with Cheese Fondue, their Baked Pretzel Rolls with Honey Cinnamon Sauce, or the fiery 1554 Chili. Stop by on Tuesdays for the local favorite Trivia Night. 

For a romantic date night, reserve a table at Il Poggio. Complete with marble tables, white table cloths, and cozy lighting, Il Poggio serves up some delicious Italian fare. Tuck into their Sweet Potato Ravioli or the Veal and Truffle Gnocchi. Top it all off with a silky Tiramisu. Yum!

For the best margarita in Snowmass, visit Venga Venga for mexican cuisine and a happy hour from 3 pm- 6 pm daily@

A Mini-Guide to Aspen in January

January is one of the most popular times to visit Aspen and there is a good reason for it. This snow-filled month offers a plethora of events and activities that bring people from around the globe to our small and luxurious ski town. Because we are so excited for this upcoming month (and we want you to get excited too), we have created a small guide detailing the most prominent events, and the varying activities that they offer.

Friday Morning Uphill Breakfast Club (every Friday starting January 4^th)

Catherine Aeppel

Friday Morning Uphill Breakfast Club is truly a unique Aspen experience. Hike up Buttermilk Mountain every Friday of the month and enjoy breakfast at the Cliffhouse restaurant. Breakfast will be offered from 8:45am-10am, featuring a plethora of items including an oatmeal and yogurt station, dry quick oats with a toppings bar, and a la carte hot breakfast items. This event is a great way to get in an early morning workout with unparalleled views, and get in some of the first tracks of the ski day.

Wintersköl (January 10th-January 13^th)

Jordan Curet

Wintersköl is Aspen’s annual “toast to winter,” a true celebration of winter in the heart of the rocky mountains. This celebration of winter dates back to 1951, putting it in its 67^th annual celebration.  The 4 day festival is filled with festivities around town as well as Aspen’s four mountains. Some notable activities include Winterfest, Wintersculpt, a canine fashion show, fireworks, snow sculptures, bonfires, film screenings, and much more. Wintersköl is truly a unique Aspen tradition that any winter lover will relish in.

Gay Ski Week (January 13^th-January 20^th)

Matt Power

Aspen Gay Ski Week is coming up on its 41^st year, making it the longest running gay ski week in the world. The event spans over 7 days and offers fun-filled activities for all. This week is jam-packed with events, including concerts, parties, films, comedy, symposiums, and dinners throughout the week. To get the full experience we recommend grabbing a pass, which offers access to four mountain of terrain, special lunches, receptions, ice shows, and even more parties.

Full Moon Dinners at Cliffhouse (January 20^th)

Jordan Curet

Full Moon Dinners at Cliffhouse are another unique Aspen opportunity to experience an exclusive meal after a beautiful hike up the mountain. For a truly one-of-a-kind experience, skin or hike up Buttermilk Mountain to enjoy a special dinner under the full moon that you cannot experience anywhere else. Cliffhouse will be offering a la carte dinner options, snacks and a cash bar from 5-8pm. Get there early to enjoy free hot chocolate from 5-6pm over a roaring fire. Unlike the Friday Morning Uphill Breakfast Club also offered by Cliffhouse, this experience will only be offered this one night in order to take full advantage of the full moon from a unique and picturesque location.

2019 X Games (January 24^th-January 27^th)

Jeremy Swanson

The X Games are a world-renowned event that bring in the best extreme skiers and snowboarders from around the world to our own Buttermilk Mountain. Along with the best action sports, the event also brings in a music and festival experience at the base of the mountain and in town. The 2019 X Games are bringing in musical performances by Lil Wayne, Louis The Child, The Chainsmokers and Kygo. This weekend is definitely one of Aspen’s most prominent and well-known events, and one that any true mountain and music lover will want to experience.

Our Guide to Eating Your Way Through Aspen:

There is no doubt that Aspen has always been at the forefront of elite culinary offerings, and classics such as Chef’s Club and Nobu Matsuhisa have been around since what seems like the beginning of time.  However, in a town as seasonal as Aspen a restaurant turnover rate is quite inevitable. To help you stay current with the Aspen hot spots, we have created a definitive guide to dining in Aspen this Winter, featuring the best of the new and the best of the old.

Noteworthy Restaurants

Our favorite new offerings that have already made waves in the Aspen community

7908 Aspen ($$$)

“Altitude is Everything”

If you’ve been having trouble getting a reservation at 7908 Aspen, we are not surprised. This brand new Super Club has been at the forefront of the culinary and nightlife scene since it opened its doors in July. 7908 Aspen offers savory American Cuisine in the earlier hours, and then slowly progresses into a club like scene in the later hours as in-house DJ, Kid Kamillion, begins his set. This place truly encompasses the idea of a Super Club, and has been making waves in the Aspen community as the hottest new restaurant and club scene.

TO EAT: Try the renowned fried chicken, featuring a unique chili honey glaze, or for those who prefer to splurge, the $120 Aspen Nachos with caviar

TO DRINK: Try the Femme Fatale or the in-house Moscow Mule, which features tiki bitters, giving the classic drink a unique kick

Clark’s Oyster Bar ($$$)

In the location of the beloved Little Annie’s comes Aspen, Colorado’s hottest new Oyster Bar, Clark’s. Originally based in Austin, Texas, the Aspen location of Clark’s officially opened its doors in June and has been the talk of the town ever since. Clark’s Oyster Bar offers a world-class oyster and caviar selection, an extensive raw bar, delicious lobster rolls, and everything you could want in New England styled seafood. In addition to its refined menu, Clark’s has created a bustling bar scene that is hopping into the later hours of the night. We certainly recommend making reservations for this new hotspot as early as possible, as the seating is limited and spaces seem to fill up quickly.

TO EAT: We recommend trying a few of their different East and West Coast oysters, in addition to their world-renowned lobster roll

TO DRINK: Ask your server about their cocktail of the day, or try their classic Velvet Spritz

Jing ($$$)

Aspen might not need another Sushi restaurant, but it surely needs Jing. This brand new Asian Fusion styled restaurant located right next to Acquolina on main street features exceptional cuisine blending older Asian traditional dishes with more contemporary techniques. Unlike its rival Matsuhisa, Jing offers a blend of both traditional rolls and the complex American rolls that we all admittedly love to order. Jing offers both lunch and dinner and features a reasonably priced bar menu. Jing has certainly become a new hot spot in town for sushi and Asian-fusion lovers, and their delectable cuisine and fun atmosphere will make you want to come back for some more.

TO EAT: Try the unique Surf & Turf Roll featuring lobster, Kobe beef, mango and caviar. For an even more unique option try the Sushi Pizza located on the bar menu

TO DRINK: Try the Sake Tini which is a unique blend of Sake and Absolut Vodka
