The annual “Blessing of the Animals” is this Sunday, Oct. 1, at 11:30 a.m. at Snowmass Chapel. The community is invited to bring the dogs, cats, bunnies, and horses to participate. The event is precious and always chaotic in a ritual just for the animal friends.
Village Shuttle fall schedule
The Village Shuttle fall season service schedules begin on Monday, Sept. 25.

Snowmass Village is also served by several multi-modal options.
