Snowmass offers plenty of ski lifts including high speed quad chairs and the new (2006 – 2007 season) Elk Camp gondola that whisks skiers and boarders up to Elk Camp Meadows in under nine minutes. The village at Snowmass is truly the perfect ski resort village that offers some of the best “ski resort” restaurants in all of America – restaurants include Cafe Suzanne, Lynn Britt Cabin, Cirque Bar & Grill as well as Two Creeks Mexican Cafe and Up 4 Pizza. Of course the town of Aspen is only minutes away and also features dozens of great eateries

All of this comes at a price, Snowmass is not cheap but as they say you do get what you pay for.
