Whether you’re a seasoned local or visiting for the first time, this season promises something for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and noteworthy for the 2024-2025 season.

1. New Coney Express Lift at Snowmass

This winter, Snowmass will unveil the Coney Express, a high-speed quad lift that enhances access and improves skier flow out of the Snowmass base area.

• Key Features:

  • Extends to the Snowmass base area, adding a new access point to the mountain.
  • Increases base capacity and alleviates congestion during busy days.
  • Features a midway angle station for loading and unloading, providing easy access to the Snowmass Terrain Park and mid-mountain destinations like The Cabin and Spider Sabich Race Arena.

This lift is a game-changer for both skiers and foot passengers, offering more streamlined mountain access and convenience.

2. Celebrating 20 Years of ArtUP with Alex Israel

Aspen Snowmass marks the 20th anniversary of Art In Unexpected Places (ArtUP) with a collaboration with the Aspen Art Museum. This year’s featured lift ticket artist is Alex Israel, a Los Angeles-based creator known for exploring pop culture, celebrity, and the pursuit of joy through his art.

• What to Expect:
  • Israel’s work will be featured on all lift tickets this season.
  • An accompanying exhibition and programming will be announced closer to the season.

Art enthusiasts can look forward to seeing Israel’s unique blend of fantasy and entertainment infused into the Aspen Snowmass experience.

3. The Cabin Renovation and Expansion

The Cabin, located mid-mountain on Snowmass, has undergone a major transformation and will reopen this season with exciting new features:

• New Additions:
  • Expanded outdoor patio with grill and bar areas.
  • Après-ski parties, live entertainment, and snowcat dinners return with a fresh twist.
• Accessibility:
  • With the Coney Express lift, non-skiing guests can now access The Cabin via the midway foot passenger station during select hours.

The Cabin is poised to become the ultimate destination for lunch, après-ski fun, and unforgettable mountain vibes.

4. Aspen Mountain’s Hero’s Terrain Expansion

Building on the Hero’s Terrain expansion introduced last season, Aspen Mountain has continued to refine and enhance this stunning area:

5. Sustainability for the Slopes

Aspen Snowmass continues to lead the charge in sustainability and climate advocacy with new initiatives this season:

• Compostable Cups with a Call to Action:
  • Cups feature QR codes directing users to join Protect Our Winters (POW) in advocating for meaningful climate action.
• New Book Release:
  • Aspen One’s SVP of Sustainability, Auden Schendler, will release “Terrible Beauty; Reckoning with Climate Complicity and Rediscovering our Soul” on November 26.
