‘Blessing of the Animals’ at Snowmass Chapel

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.

All Village Shuttle in-town service will operate by request for the fall season service schedule to accommodate delays caused by construction project detours. Those served by Village Shuttle Route #3 will need to call the Village Shuttle request number (970) 923-3500 between 6:50 a.m.–midnight.

Snowmass Village is also served by several multi-modal options. Multi-use paths run throughout the town, and the Village Shuttle connects to regional transit services provided by the Roaring Fork Transit Authority. Bike-share is available in town via WE-cycle.
