What visitors say about the resort

Snowmass is praised for its vertical drop - more than 1,300 m, one of the largest in the United States - and for being the most spacious of Aspen's four mountains. Families appreciate the convenience of ski-in/ski-out accommodation and good children's ski schools.

Criticism focuses on Aspen's prices and the fact that nightlife is concentrated in Aspen itself, requiring a drive. Altitude is another frequent topic: the base is at 2,470 m, and many visitors spend their first day with a headache.
