I began skiing in Aspen with my brother in 1961, and had the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of Snowmass Ski Resort. My sister's children own a place nearby (the Snoke Chalet) and we created family vacations throughout the year to enjoy the area and each other's company.
Skiing conditions are unbelievably good, with splendid snow conditions and attention to grooming the hills throughout the ski season.
In addition to ski season, Snowmass Village is a lovely get-away for family and friends at all times of the year. Summer season is the time for the Aspen Music Festival, Balloon Festival, Aspen Food & Wine, and many other events in the area, as well as enjoying the Lost Forest adventure area on Snowmass Mountain.
