It’s equally easy to stay active, be entertained, and find solace amid natural beauty.

Numerous dining establishments fill the area to give you a mixture of fine dining and casual experiences. Up 4 Pizza is a favored option when your cravings hit.

Snowmass Mall and The Snowmass Center are two of the established shopping areas in town. Numerous shops and restaurants fill the spaces to provide ample opportunities to find what you're looking for. The town's supermarket and post office are located within the Center, and redevelopment plans intend to keep the space fresh with new businesses incoming. 

 

The Snowmass Village Recreation Center is ideal for non-skiing activities. The facility spans 18,000 square feet and provides space for swimming, bouldering, volleyball, fitness, and sports. There is also a skate park and miles of walking trails. It's a year-round option for exercise and recreation.
