The Ultimate Snowmass Closing Celebration
Say "aloha" to spring at the Elk Camp Surf & Snow Beach Party, the ultimate celebration to close out the winter season in Snowmass. This annual high-energy après party event brings beach vibes to the heart of the Rockies. Whether you are hitting the slopes or just heading up for the festivities, it is the perfect way to toast to another incredible winter.
Event Highlights & Activities:
- The Pond Skim: Test your skills (and your balance) at the notorious pond skim outside of Elk Camp Restaurant. Costumes and swim attire are highly encouraged for all participants.
- Après on the Patio: Enjoy live DJs, hot tubs, and the famous margarita blender bikes. The music keeps bumping until 4:45 PM.
- Free Gondola Access: Not a skier? No problem. The Elk Camp Gondola is FREE for foot passengers starting at 12:00 PM.
- Base Village After-Party: Once the mountain fun wraps up, the celebration moves down to Snowmass Base Village, where the music and festivities continue well into the evening.
Important Times:
- Ski Down: All skiers and riders must head down the mountain by 4:15 PM.
