IMPORTANT NOTES:

-Effective July 17, Governor Jared Polis is requiring face coverings in all public indoor
spaces. Please click here to find FAQs about the new Executive Order.

With COVID infection rates spiking around the country, the Colorado Tourism Office
considers requiring face coverings to be a prudent move and ultimately good for the
tourism industry and the economy. CTO believes it is particularly important that this
requirement be consistent throughout the state for travelers to easily navigate state
regulations.

-As Colorado continues to take positive steps toward reactivating our economy, the health and
safety of both residents and visitors remain our highest priority. We encourage locals and
travelers alike to embrace our new interpretation of responsible tourism -- showing care not only
for our destinations but for the people who call Colorado home--by adopting our new Care for
Coloradans principles.

routines that include a mix of skits, jokes, slapstick humor, magic, audience
participation, barbershop numbers and novelty songs.

While this form of entertainment dates back to the 1800s when Vaudeville
companies were at their most popular, the content of the show pokes fun at
modern day living and is relatable to a wide range of audiences. Each season the
cast creates a new show, so even if visitors have attended in the past, they can
count on a fresh round of belly-laughs. Best of all, the comedy is appropriate for
all ages and groups.

Take a Hike!
We recommend the Rim Trail South up to the Yin Yang to get 360 degree views
of Snowmass and the lay of the land, but choose your own adventure at
www.hikesnowmass.com​. The Ditch Trail is also a great choice.
● A popular hike, the Rim Trail South is the shorter version of the full Rim
Trail, offering incredible views of Snowmass Village and the surrounding
mountains and valleys. You’ll make your ascent to the overlook known
locally as “the yin-yang” via a steady climb that switches back and forth
across the slope. One you reach the scenic overlook at Spiral Point, take
in the 360 degree view of the valleys, reservoir below and peaks above.

● Park at the trailhead off Divide Road or have the Limelight Shuttle take
you.
