Aspen Snowmass Unveils $80 Million Improvement Plan
Aspen Snowmass has announced a substantial $80 million investment in upgrades across its ski resorts, with a focus on enhancing the Snowmass experience. The improvements, slated for the 2025-26 ski season, include new lifts, lodge renovations, and increased snowmaking capabilities. These changes aim to improve access to popular terrain and modernise facilities for skiers and riders.
At Snowmass, two significant lift upgrades are planned. The Elk Camp high-speed quad will be replaced with a detachable six-pack chairlift, increasing capacity for both winter skiing and summer biking. The Cirque surface lift will be upgraded to a T-Bar, doubling its capacity and reducing queue times for accessing advanced terrain.
Lodge improvements are also a key part of the investment. The Ullrhof lodge, a fixture at Snowmass for over five decades, will be demolished and rebuilt as an electric-powered facility with expanded seating and amenities. This project is expected to be completed for the 2026-27 season. Additionally, plans are in place to expand the Elk Camp Restaurant with an outdoor deck, pending approval from local authorities.
