Recent Improvements

Aspen Snowmass will debut an all-new high-speed quad at Snowmass this winter season. Construction on the new “Coney Express” lift took place this summer and the lift will open to the public at the start of the winter season.

While Coney Express will effectively replace the existing Coney Glade chair, the new lift will extend down to the Snowmass base area, providing a new access point to the mountain and significantly increasing Snowmass’ out-of-base capacity. Originating across from the Snowmass Mall and ending at the top of Coney Glade trail, Coney Express will help move more skiers and riders out of the base area and alleviate congestion on busy days.

Coney Express will provide riders access to the Big Burn, Alpine Spring and Sheer Bliss, and features midway angle-station for loading to continue offering easy access to the renowned Snowmass Terrain Park. The lift will also provide unloading for foot traffic at the midway station, for the first time allowing foot passenger access to The Cabin and Spider Sabich Race Arena.

Snowmass’ The Cabin is undergoing a major renovation and expansion this summer and will open this winter with an expanded outdoor patio, grill and bar area. In addition, renewed experiences including après parties and specials, live entertainment, and the return of snowcat dinners will be featured throughout the winter season.

Located at mid-mountain on Snowmass, The Cabin combines western ambiance with a vibrant atmosphere for lunch and après. With the opening of the new Coney Express lift, non-skiing guests can now access The Cabin via the lift's midway foot passenger station, available during select hours.

Sustainability and climate advocacy remain core commitments for not only Aspen Snowmass but across Aspen One’s businesses. This season, the compostable cups provided on-mountain have a message— that the compostable cups themselves are not enough to solve the climate problem. Instead, they will feature a QR code and a call to action to join the climate advocacy movement with Aspen One and Protect Our Winters (POW) to fight for meaningful climate action.

Additionally, Aspen One’s SVP of Sustainability Auden Schendler will release a new book, hitting shelves November 26. “Terrible Beauty; Reckoning with Climate Complicity and Rediscovering our Soul” is about the failure of the modern environmental movement and the path to reform. Part memoir, part environmental history, and part stories of Aspen One’s successes and misadventures in the sustainability trenches, “it reads like a ski adventure, not a climate tome,” according to Schendler. The book has already received acclaim from the likes of ex-EPA head Gina McCarthy and environmentalist Bill McKibben.
