Thanksgiving Thrills: Snowmass Ski Area Ready to Kick Off Winter

Snowmass Ski Area is all set to welcome skiers and snowboarders on Thanksgiving Day, November 27th. The ski area will be open from 9 a. m. to 3:30 p. m. , but the weather might change things. This opening aligns with Aspen Mountain's schedule, giving everyone a chance to hit the slopes early in the season. The excitement is building, especially since the opening coincides with Thanksgiving. It's a great time for locals and visitors to come together and celebrate the start of winter. The ski area is ready to welcome everyone, but the exact amenities and open terrain will depend on the snow conditions. Snowmass Ski Resort is massive, with 4, 406 vertical feet, 3, 342 acres of terrain, 98 trails, and 21 chairlifts. It's a playground for winter sports enthusiasts. Last year, both Aspen Mountain and Snowmass opened five days early due to early snowstorms, so there's hope for a similar start this year. As for the village's occupancy, the October report is coming out soon. Typically, Thanksgiving sees lower occupancy, with numbers ramping up closer to Christmas and the New Year. So, if you're planning a trip, you might find fewer crowds over the holiday.
