Seasonal closures give area wildlife the space they need at this time of year. The Snowmass Village Animal Services Department enforces trail closures enacted to protect sensitive wildlife habitats that surround our Snowmass Village. It is unlawful of any persons to use closed trails during wildlife sensitive periods.
There is a zero tolerance policy for trail closure violations and fines may be as much as $5,000. The town of Snowmass’ animal services division, in partnership with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, strictly enforces trail closures. Wildlife monitoring cameras are in use in closed areas.
