Gold-Level Ride Center
Snowmass Bike Park is an IMBA Gold-Level Ride Center, one of seven in the world and the only park with this status in Colorado. Earning this status means that a specific guide was used to create and assess the trails, resulting in the best mountain biking experience. Snowmass Bike Park offers 25 miles of downhill bike trails, including smooth, gentle rides for beginners and steep, single-track technical trails for advanced riders. Riding through scenic evergreen forests and aspen trees with the slopes alive with wildflowers is a great way to experience Snowmass aboard a mountain bike!
Top Notch Skiing & Snowboarding
During winter months, some of those biking trails quickly become favorite ski slopes. When the ground is blanketed with fresh powder, of which Snowmass receives around 200 inches a year, it becomes a top skiing and snowboarding destination. From Snowmass, skiers and snowboarders can not only access the 91 epic Snowmass runs, but also those of Aspen, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk, all within close proximity.
