   Info on Snowmass

I have skiied Snowmass once at Easter 2 years ago. I really enjoyed it.
It is a large area with lots of long cruiser blue runs and some neat
tree skiing. It has, I believe, only a couple of "black" runs; they are
not the same black as, say, a black run, at Aspen Mountain. It will take
you 2 days to ski the whole place. It also has some gorgeous views of the
Aspen Snowmass wilderness areas; I belive you can see the Maroon Bell from
the top of the area.

Go into Aspen for some great nightlife; it's only about 5 miles or so and
DEFINITELY worth the trip (buses run between Aspen and Snowmass quite
regularly).

If you get tired of Snowmass skiing, go either to Aspen Mountain or
Aspen Highlands for some challenging terrain. Aspen Mountain (referred
to as Ajax locally) is definitely the place to go for good steep
bump skiing. Snowmass has very little in the way of bumps - it's
mainly a resort for the out of state recreational skiier.


Hope you have a great time!!!
