Enjoy free, family-friendly live music on Fanny Hill, with a stunning mountain backdrop

 

Planning to visit Snowmass this summer? While the area’s many incredible summer recreation opportunities often take the spotlight, Snowmass is also renowned for its huge range of special events and entertainment offerings during the summer season. With all kinds of different events on tap this summer, it can be hard to decide which ones to attend. But if there’s one true can’t-miss for any trip to Snowmass, it’s the Snowmass Summer Concert Series on Fanny Hill. 

Now in its 34th year running, the Snowmass Summer Concert series is a longstanding favorite tradition among locals and visitors alike, and serves up fun for every member of the family. This summer, concerts will take place each Thursday night from June 18th through August 27th, and are offered FREE of charge for all to enjoy. The shows take place on the famed ‘Fanny Hill’ area, just mere steps away from the doors of Woodrun V, so guests can walk right out from their residence to take in an amazing show!

The series features a different band each week, from local favorites to touring artists, each with its own distinct style and sound. The featured genres run the gamut throughout the summer season, from bluegrass to rock to soul to country, and more! The venue is unlike any other, providing a stunning backdrop of the Elk Mountain range for families and friends to gather in the fresh mountain air to listen to great music, sing, dance, and revel in the joy of summer. Concert-goers can bring a picnic and blankets out to the kid-friendly lawned seating area, or grab dinner before the show at any of the amazing nearby Snowmass dining options. There’s no better way to celebrate the sweet sounds, sights and sensations of summer!

How to make the most of Aspen Snowmass’ Closing Weekend celebrations for the 2026 ski season

 

Spring has sprung here in Snowmass, and we’re in the final countdown of the 2025-26 ski season. That’s right: just a few weeks left to get out there and soak up those last sweet spring turns, sunny bluebird days, and ‘party laps’ with friends and family. 

It’s always sad to see another ski season come to an end, but we love making the most of our final weeks on the mountain, and celebrating the end of the season in style. So, get ready to strap on those skis, slather on the sunscreen, and put an exclamation point on your ski season with the Snowmass Closing Weekend festivities! Here’s your guide to maximizing the weekend:

 

Saturday, April 4th – Snowmass Elk Camp Surf & Snow Beach Party

There’s no end-of-season party quite like this one, when Snowmass transforms into a full-on spring skiing celebration zone on Saturday of closing weekend for the Elk Camp Surf & Snow Beach Party. This beach-themed bash brings out revelers of all types, eager to soak up the sunshine and good vibes at Snowmass’ Elk Camp. The renowned annual celebration delivers live music from a range of DJs, free leis and other swag, margaritas served up from bike-powered blenders, hot tubs for a festive on-mountain soak, and more. 

The Elk Camp Gondola will be free for foot passengers starting at 12pm, so those who don’t want to ski but still want to take in the festive, high-energy atmosphere, can come relax and enjoy and the good vibes and sunshine.

Sunday, April 5th – Snowmass Closing Day

While the party takes place on Saturday, skiers and riders get one final bonus day Sunday to close out their season, as April 5th marks the last day of skiing at Snowmass for the 2026 ski season. Lifts will be spinning on the mountain’s extended spring hours, open until 4 pm. Guests can also enjoy a variety of food and drink specials, along with more live music, DJs and celebrations – and soak up those high-elevation rays! – at any of the area’s on-mountain dining venues, from Sam’s to Elk Camp to Up4 Pizza, and more. 

Enjoy the celebrations, and let’s close this season out with gusto!

Spring is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly destination with great spring skiing and even better weather, there’s no better place than Aspen Snowmass. Here’s just a few of the many reasons why this beautiful Colorado ski destination is the perfect spot for an unforgettable spring ski vacation.

  1. First and foremost: The skiing is fantastic! Even with a relatively dry winter this season, Snowmass Resort still has more than 55” of base depth, with a recent storm providing an excellent refresh on the mountain – perfect for making the most of those spring turns. When you stay at Woodrun V, you’ll be just steps away from the slopes at Snowmass – the biggest resort in the world-renowned four-mountain Aspen Snowmass collection – so you’ll have unbeatable ski-in/ski-out access to all 3,300+ acres of its exceptional terrain. Ski right from your door to the Coney Express Lift, and get ready for a full day of fun on the slopes!

  2. Second, the weather is ideal. While Colorado is perhaps best known for its skiing and high altitude, right up there on the list is its fantastic weather, with more sunny bluebird days than just about any other top ski destination, peppered with epic snowstorms that deliver the best fresh powder turns out there. You simply can’t go wrong, whether nabbing first tracks on a powder day, or ripping down the slopes under sunny, warm skies. Combined with the longer days of March & April and extended lift hours for more time on the slopes, it’s a recipe for spring skiing that is sure to deliver a lifetime of memories for you and your family.

  3. Speaking of family, there’s no resort more family-friendly than Snowmass, making it the perfect place for a family spring ski trip. The resort’s vast terrain means there’s a plethora of kid-friendly runs, and something for everyone from novice to expert skiers. There’s also an amazing array of on-mountain restaurants to choose from, where families can sit outside and enjoy the spring sunshine and top-notch views, while taking in delicious eats of all kinds. Off the slopes, the options for family fun are even more extensive, with everything from sledding and tubing to ice skating and swimming at your fingertips – plus more world-class dining and entertainment options centered right in the heart of Snowmass Village.

  4. An aprés scene that can’t be beat! From on-mountain aprés celebrations and specials at Sam’s, The Cabin and Elk Camp at Snowmass Resort, to music and s’mores at the Snowmass Mall, there’s something for everyone when it comes to post-ski entertainment. The celebrations are further elevated in the spring, when you can bask in the sun as you toast to another incredible day on the mountain. Aspen Snowmass also offers a variety of special events during springtime to make things even more fun, and truly take your spring ski trip to the next level.

Daily Winter Activities at Snowmass

 

 

 

From all of us here at Woodrun V Snowmass: Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, and we hope you enjoy the celebrations in style! Cheers! 

 

Ski season is officially here, and we could not be more thrilled! While the beginning of the season is always exciting, this winter there is a new addition at Snowmass that has us feeling especially elated: the Coney Express Lift. 

This all-new high-speed quad is only steps away from the door at Woodrun V, further enhancing the property’s already unparalleled ski-in/ski-out access. With the new lift, which just made its debut on December 7th, it’s now easier than ever for Woodrun V guests to gain quick, direct access to the full spectrum of terrain offered at Snowmass Resort – all 3,330+ acres! 

Coney Express effectively replaces the Coney Glade chairlift at Snowmass, providing an all-new access point to the full scope of the mountain’s ski runs, and significantly increasing the resort’s capacity to transport skiers and riders out of its base area. And for guests of Woodrun V, it’s practically like having your own private lift! The lift originates on Fanny Hill across from the Snowmass Mall – just right down the hill from Woodrun V! – and ends at the top of Coney Glad trail, providing convenient access to the Big Burn, Alpine Spring and Sheer Bliss zones. It features a midway angle-station for additional loading, and continued access to Snowmass’ highly celebrated terrain park. 

In addition, the new lift will add an option for foot passenger traffic to unload at its midway station, allowing foot passengers to access The Cabin and the Spider Sabich Race Arena at Snowmass. Of note, The Cabin was also renovated and expanded for this season, with a new patio and grill/bar area. Add this stop to your bucket list for your Aspen Snowmass ski vacation, and enjoy lunch with a view or a vibrant après atmosphere. 

With the new Coney Express lift now running, Woodrun V guests will enjoy a more elevated experience than ever this season, with truly premium ski-in/ski-out convenience that quite literally lets you put your skis on at the door and go!
