  • Wake up and soak in all the breathtaking panoramic views of Snowmass and the surrounding Elk Mountains from your Woodrun V residence. Enjoy breakfast with your family and friends in the comfort of your home-away-from-home, or visit one of the amazing dining options in Snowmass Village or the Snowmass Mall. Fuel Café and The Crepe Shack are a couple of our favorites for breakfast fare!
  • Get suited up and ready to get outside! With tons of outdoor activities to choose from, there’s plenty of options for each member of the family to do whatever they love most, all morning long.
    • Check out one of the many incredible Snowmass hiking trails. At Woodrun V, you can head right on out your door and straight into some of the best hiking you will ever experience! The wildflowers are absolutely stunning this time of year, and there’s no better way to get prime viewing than out on the trail! Want some guidance? Check out one of the daily ACES guided hikes!
    • For the adrenaline lovers in the family, the renowned Snowmass Bike Park is also just steps away from Woodrun V. Riders of all levels can enjoy lift-serviced biking all day on these purpose-built trails. No gear? No problem. Rentals are available!
    • For the kiddos (and adults who love to play!), adventure is also right at their fingertips in Snowmass. Take the gondola up to Elk Camp – making sure to take in those mountain views along the way! –  and check out everything the Lost Forest has to offer. This magical venue is your headquarters for outdoor family fun. It’s like a giant playground on the mountain! For the thrill seekers, activities range from the Treeline Trial Challenge Course to the Canopy Run Zipline, Breathtake Alpine Coaster, and a climbing wall. For the not-quite-so-adventurous, the venue also features a fishing pond, disc golf, paintballing and more! The scenic gondola rides are also an adventure in their own right, offering some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see!
  • Once you’ve had your fill of recreating, head back down to Snowmass Mall and check out New Belgium Ranger Station for lunch or afternoon drinks on the patio overlooking Fanny Hill. From there you’ll once again be just steps away from your Residence at Woodrun V, making it convenient as can be to head back home for a rest and refresh before your evening activities.
  • Ready for some evening fun? Depending on the day, there’s a whole range of activities to choose from. Whether it’s Music on the Mall, the free Snowmass Concert Series, Jazz on the Lawn, or a special Snowmass Live Music event, the live music options are plentiful, always offering a beautiful outdoor setting so you can take in the full spectrum of sights and sounds of Snowmass while dancing the night away. On Wednesdays, hit up the Snowmass Rodeo for some of the best rodeo action in the west. Looking for something more low-key? Check out a family-friendly ‘Movie Under the Stars’ at the Base Village Lawn, enjoy a game of Cornhole at the Rock Garden, or take in all the culinary delights of a Vine & Dine series night if you’re a foodie!

  • When you’re ready to call it a night, make your way back to Woodrun V just minutes away from whatever you’re up to in Snowmass, and take advantage of one of the best nights of sleep you’ll ever have, in the comfort of your luxurious townhome under the mountain air and stars – and get ready to do it all again the next day!
