First openings of $1-B redevelopment in Snowmass Village
Developers of the new $1-billion base village in Snowmass Village, Colo., announces the completion of the first phase of development for the 2007/2008 winter season. As Aspen Skiing Company is also completing $80 million in improvements to Snowmass Mountain, Snowmass is undergoing a complete renaissance.
The new base village will include over one million square feet of residential, hotel, restaurant, retail and conference space, all strategically located at the entrance of what is arguably the finest ski and snowboard mountain in the world. At completion, the development will include over 300 condominiums, over 60,000 square feet of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, new conference space, the 236-room LEED-Silver Viceroy Resort and Residences Snowmass, The Little Nell Residences Snowmass, an aquatic center and much more.
Debuting this season, the new village incorporates the Elk Camp Gondola, which whisks skiers and boarders to the base of Elk Camp in only 6.5 minutes providing quick and easy access to the new Elk Camp Meadows beginners’ area, located mid mountain at the base of the Elk Camp lift.. The Village Express six-pack also picks up from the heart of the village and carries skiers to the top of Sam’s Knob in only 10 minutes. Guests can hop on the Sky Cab “Skittles” transportation system, which transports to the Snowmass Village Mall in only two minutes. The new base village offers owners and visitors the ultimate in ski town accessibility and redefines the phrase ‘ski-in, ski-out’.
