Listed price includes round-trip air

An IKON Pass resort with a lift ticket available as an extra-cost option

With its impressive terrain ranging from wide-open groomers to playful glades and gullies to steep, backcountry-like runs, Snowmass is a favorite for skiers and snowboarders of all levels and terrain preferences.  Offering a ton of terrain for the intermediate skier, the blue cruisers at Snowmass are meticulously manicured every night (and some are groomed at noon every day).  Challenge-seekers can test themselves in high-alpine bowls with steep pitches and cliffs, tight trees to navigate, and fresh powder throughout the more than 3,300 acres of skiable terrain at Snowmass.

Stonebridge Inn

Our trip includes 7 nights (Sat-Sat) in deluxe hotel rooms at the slopeside Stonebridge Inn with daily breakfast buffet, round-trip air from Washington to Denver (details below), and ground transfers.  Baggage handling is included.

Selected three years in a row as one of the 50 Top Ski Resort Hotels in the United States by Condé Nast Traveler magazine, the Stonebridge offers comfortable, modern hotel rooms in the style of a rustic lodge.  Located in the heart of Snowmass Village, just steps from the slopes and within walking distance to the Snowmass Base Village, it offers an intimate alpine escape, framed by aspen groves and the 14,000-foot peaks of the Rockies. 

The ongoing renovation at the Stonebridge includes the new Heather's Snowmass Restaurant, which features daily Après Ski from 3-5pm and a lineup of world-class musicians: 

Located on the lobby level, Heather's is known for its hearty savory pies, delectable tapas, and welcoming atmosphere.  Whether you're looking to enjoy a delicious meal or experience live music in a cozy setting, Heather's in Snowmass Village offers a memorable dining experience.

We'll each receive a $10 credit for food & drink in Heather's.

Hotel amenities include a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, fitness room, sauna, Internet access, on-site laundry facilities, and a ski locker room.  Complimentary shuttles are available to take us around the village.

Queen/Queen Room

Our deluxe Q/Q rooms feature extensive amenities including mini refrigerators, coffee makers, and hair dryers.  Rooms with one King bed may be available, upon request and subject to availability.

Single Rooms:  Listed price is for double occupancy; add $1,750 for the single supplement if you want a room to yourself.

New Terrain at Aspen Mountain:  Although we're staying at Snowmass, you might want to ski a day at one or more of the other three resorts that are all reachable with the free bus system: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk.  In particular, you might want to check out the new Hero's Area at Aspen Mountain: 

Hero’s – Aspen Mountain’s first major addition since the Silver Queen Gondola in December of 1985 – offers an additional 153 acres of skiing and riding across the town's mountain.  Since opening in 2023-24, the area has seen continued improvement with added glading, offering an even better skier experience.  Accessible via a high-speed quad, idyllic views and steep chutes and trails await your exploration.  Hero’s increases Aspen Mountain’s lift-served terrain by more than 20 percent. The mix includes nineteen chutes, three explorable gladed areas, and four cut trails.  The project also extended some of our favorite existing runs, including Walsh’s and Kristi, lengthening vertical drop to 1,220 feet and eliminating the hike out at the bottom.  And while expert skiers celebrated the most, the project also added a nice helping of intermediate glades and groomed runs.  The setting is as idyllic as it gets.  Views travel up Independence Pass and down to the valley floor, where the Roaring Fork River carves a meandering line through the snow-blanketed North Star Nature Preserve. It’s a gorgeous section of the mountain, peaceful, and serene

Ikon Pass Benefits:  If you're planning to ski at more than one "Ikon" resort this winter, an Ikon Pass may be a better value than the available group lift tickets (see below); it may depend when you buy your pass as prices will increase as winter gets closer.

• A Full Ikon Pass gives you 7 days at Aspen/Snowmass.
• An Ikon Base Pass has no benefits at Aspen/Snowmass.
• NOTE:  The Ikon Base Plus Pass is no longer offered.  Resorts such as Snowmass that used to honor it will now require a Full Ikon Pass.

Ikon Passes must be individually purchased (not through the club).  You may purchase Ikon Passes directly from Ikon, but we suggest that you visit our Epic & Ikon Pass page to explore the promotional offers that may be available from our tour operators.

If you'll be using an Ikon Pass, we must provide your pass number to the resort so that it counts towards our group lift ticket minimum purchase requirements.  Please enter your Ikon Pass number into your membership profile before registering for the trip, or provide it to the trip leader if you purchase (or renew) your pass subsequent to signing up.

Ikon Lift Reservations:  Skiers using an Ikon Pass will be required to make reservations for their ski days by logging into their Ikon Pass account at ikonpass.com.  You should make your reservations as soon as you sign up for the trip as daily space may be limited and could sell out.

Group Lift Tickets:   Group lift tickets are available as an extra-cost option for skiers without an Ikon Pass:

The lift tickets are good at all four area resorts:  Snowmass, Aspen, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk. 

Air Schedule (Subject to Change):  Flights on United Airlines

Membership Requirement:  Your club membership must be current when signing up for the trip and throughout the duration of the trip.  The trip will be "sanctioned" through the Blue Ridge Ski Council.  Current members of other BRSC member ski clubs may register for the trip beginning August 1.

Payment Schedule:

We’ll confirm your registration after you've signed up (registered) for the trip and we've received your payment:  Pay online by going to our Partial Payments Page where you can make initial deposits &/or interim payments for one or more trips, and for one or more members, in a single transaction.  You may also make partial payments with credit cards at club meetings.  Note:  If you wish instead to pay for the entire trip (or to pay your remaining balance), you should make your payment directly against your trip invoice.  You can find your invoice(s) from your profile page by selecting your name in the upper right corner of the website when you are logged in.

If you prefer to pay by check, make it payable to the Pentagon Ski Club and mail it to our treasurer:  Tom Gallagher, 8203 Lazy Point Lane, Lorton, VA 22079.  Indicate which trip, and what skier(s), it is for.  Or give it to the trip leader (or to Tom) at a club meeting.
