Discover Aspen Snowmass
Renowned globally as one of the premier ski resorts, Aspen Snowmass is an historic, world-class destination.
Split across 4 mountains and two towns and combining Victorian-style architecture, sumptuous accommodation, outstanding skiing and vibrant apres, Aspen Snowmass has something for everyone.
Straight-forward access to Aspen Snowmass is one of its major perks, and partly explains its popularity. Aspen-Pitkin Airport is a short 10 minute drive from both Aspen and Snowmass villages and hosts non-stop flights from 10 US airports and major carriers like United, Delta and American Airlines. Of course, Colorado’s major airport, Denver International is also an option, with a drive time of roughly 4 hours.
The resort is split between the towns of Aspen and Snowmass. Sharing its name with the epinonymous tree, Aspen was founded as a mining camp during Colorado’s Silver Rush in the 1880s. After the Rush eventually busted, the town was revitalized 50 years later as a ski resort, with the Aspen Ski Company founded in 1949 by industrialist Walter Paepcke and Friedl Pfeifer, a former member of the 10th Mountain Division. The resort’s reputation began to almost immediately become known, and it played host to the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 1950. Not long after, Aspen started to further develop further, not just as a ski resort, but also as a cultural and intellectual institution with the development of the Aspen Institute, the Aspen Music Festival and School and the Aspen Center for Physics. By the 20th Century, Aspen had become a popular retreat for various celebrities, including Hunter S. Thompson, who ran unsuccessfully for county sheriff, and John Denver. Today, many international stars from film, music, sports and entertainment count Aspen as a destination of choice.

Testimonials
Terrific townhome!
Terrific townhome with great proximity to the slopes. Hot tub and wood burning fireplace were the off the slopes highlights. The décor is very Colorado, some incredible art and taxidermy pieces. Last but not least the accommodations offered flexibility for a group of adults who were mostly able to get their own room and bath.
