The family fun that Aspen/Snowmass offers is endless with something for everyone! From winter to summer we have it all! Check out just a sampling of the family fun below...


2007-2008 WINTER FAMILY FUN 


In 2007-2008, Aspen Skiing Company unveiled The Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center at Snowmass base village. As the focal point for kids' programming at Aspen/Snowmass, The Treehouse stands as the first of its kind in the snowsports industry, boasting teen activities, kids' retail and a host of themed rooms for ages eight weeks and older. The Treehouse is easily accessible from anywhere in Snowmass with short-term and underground parking, free shuttle buses, ski-in/ski-out access on Fanny Hill and service to the upper slopes, lodges and Snowmass Village Mall via the Sky Cab gondola. In addition, Ski & Snowboard Schools check-in, rental, retail and family après entertainment are consolidated all under one roof.
