The Renaissance of Snowmass - New Improvements at the Village!
The Renaissance of Snowmass, CO is being done to provide fast mountain access, which means more time skiing and less time waiting in line. Snowmass will upgrade its renowned ski area by creating a new base village, which will add over 64,000 square feet of new shops, restaurants, a community aquatic center, and newer, faster lifts. For the first time, there will be a short, 2 minute ride on the Sky Cab taking you from the base village to the existing Snowmass Village Mall. The Sky Cab will also offer access to skiing and snowboarding on lower Fanny Hill for the 2005-2006 ski season. The Village Express, a new six-passenger lift taking only 9.5 minutes to get from the bottom of Fanny Hill to Sam's Knob, will replace the existing Fanny Hill chairlift. The lift will have a mid-way unloading station for those who would like to access the beginner terrain. The Village express will accommodate 2,800 people per hour, rising 2,174 in vertical feet, and it cuts your total riding time in half and eliminates waiting in two additional lift lines to access the same terrain. And it just keeps getting better. This year, Snowmass lodging properties are undergoing massive renovations with over $28 million of property upgrades. If skiing in one of the top ski resorts in the world interests you, contact the Official Central Reservations to begin planning your next unforgettable winter ski vacation.
