Additional News
Snowmass Bike Park Expansion
The Snowmass Bike Park continues its multi-year expansion project with construction beginning on three more trails this summer, in collaboration with Gravity Logic, world-renowned trail builders. This summer’s trail build-out brings the Snowmass Bike Park to over 25 miles of bike terrain across 14 trails containing a mix of beginner to expert flow and hybrid trails. The new trails add close to three and a half miles of additional freeride bike terrain. Two of the new trails will be rated as most difficult while the third will be labeled as more difficult. Snowmass Bike Park also added three miles of new bike trails last summer. The first of those new trails, Gonzo, an experts-only freeride trail, extends .8 miles along bikers right of Valhalla and hosts the largest features in the bike park. The next trail, Valkyrie, covers close to a mile of terrain to bikers left of Valhalla and is classified as a more difficult freeride trail. The third trail, called Battle Axe, extends off Viking for a mile and is ranked as a more difficult single-track trail. Lastly, Gargamel, a more difficult technical trail begins halfway down the mountain off Verde and runs for a half-of-a-mile. Spanning from the top of the Elk Camp chairlift to the bottom of Snowmass Base Village, the trail system currently offers 2,893 ft. of vertical descent that features over 22 miles of purpose-built gravity trails. https://www.aspensnowmass.com/plan-your-stay/biking/snowmass-bike-park
Maroon Bells Access
New this year, reservations are required to access the Maroon Bells scenic area by vehicle or RFTA (Roaring Fork Transportation Authority) bus. The reservation system provides efficient visitor transportation while protecting the scenic area and following guidelines to stay in-line with social distancing requirements.

Starting June 28, visitors are required to use the RFTA shuttle service between the hours of 8:00am to 5:00pm. When buses are not in operation, vehicles may access the parking areas with a reservation. The bus fare costs $15.95 for all reservations. All vehicle and shuttle reservations must be obtained in advance from www.aspenchamber.org.
Care for Colorado Principles
In a first of its kind partnership, Snowmass Village has joined with the Colorado Tourism Office and the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics to create the Care for Colorado Principles to educate both visitors and residents about traveling the state responsibly. Visitors can learn about Care for Colorado in the CTO’s “Are You Colo-Ready?” brochures, animated videos, as well as through CTO publications, in the 10 Colorado Welcome Centers, as well as at the Snowmass Village Guest Services Centers. The Principles aim to inspire low-impact travel, from the care of trails and mindful interaction with wildlife to the use of refillable beverage containers. https://www.colorado.com/articles/leave-no-trace-care-colorado
Carbon Offsetting
Passengers traveling to Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE) can reduce the impact of their flight with carbon offsets through an online program called The Good Traveler. The online program allows travelers to calculate the distance of their trip and buy offsets to cover the distance, which then get invested into carbon reducing projects. https://thegoodtraveler.org/
