There’s something inspiring about the Christmas holiday that has people making plans well before December ever arrives. Whether you’re one for those savory meals around the table, can’t wait to decorate the tree, or have a heart for caroling and holiday films, it’s a time of year that brings loved ones together and often includes a lineup of highly-anticipated traditions.

That being said, the year 2020 has brought along its own lineup of unexpected circumstances and changes—some of which could very well derail those plans you count on year after year. If hosting the holidays at home isn’t the right move this time around, consider taking your holiday celebrations on the road! Heading to the mountains is a must during a time when distance and health protocols have woven themselves into the holidays. When you’re looking for a place that speaks to scenic beauty, options for safe and thrilling fun, as well as plenty of holiday spirit, Christmas in Snowmass is bound to be a delight.

Things to Do for Christmas in Snowmass

A true highlight of any trip to Snowmass is the opportunity to take advantage of Colorado’s impressive peaks and valleys! Skiing is an important pastime in this area that continues to call to visitors today. Whether you’re a lifelong downhill enthusiast or have just decided to pick up the sport, Snowmass is a great place to learn, enjoy skiing and grow your skills on the slopes.

Chutes, glades, drops, and cliffs are all readily available thanks to Mother Nature’s work in Snowmass—making it an ideal destination to get out and ski your way through a holiday. Four mountains make up the Aspen Snowmass area, providing plenty of opportunities for Christmas ski travelers to enjoy endless adventures. While the vast majority of Snowmass slopes are dedicated to intermediate and family-friendly experiences, those headed this way with a challenge in mind will find that 30% of the slopes are dedicated to expert-level athletes!

Of course, when you’re not racing the downhill slopes at a thrilling pace this holiday season, Christmas visitors can always slow things down and enjoy the many trails that wind through this area at a more leisurely pace. Both cross country skiing and snowshoeing are well-loved activities to enjoy in Snowmass and if you happen to be here around Christmas, you’ll get the added benefit of twinkling lights added to the surrounding scenery.

For those Christmas Snowmass travelers that are looking for a more romantic moment, booking a sleigh ride with Aspen Carriage and Sleigh is sure to be one of the best holiday experiences you could have. Aspen Carriage and Sleigh provide 15- to 20-minute public sleigh rides that travel across the open snowfields of nearby Stillwater Ranch. Those looking to book a private ride will find options available that provide for time spent exploring forested slopes paired with stops for hot chocolate and Christmas photos!

While the Christmas activity list is long, booking into a holiday stay that keeps comfort and style top of mind can truly elevate your holiday experience to a new level.
