WOODY CREEK &
OLD SNOWMASS

THINK OF THIS LAND as a place apart; so near; yet so far from the bustle of Aspen. Instead of boutiques, Old Snowmass residents shop at a general store that, when they push aside the shelves of Fritos and beef jerky, occasionally doubles as a nightclub. Woody Creekers gather at a funky tavern that's seen it's share of celebrities, sure, but everyone gets the same best-in-the-valley burger. It's all about the land here-the rolling hills, tree-lined creeks, and dramatic red stone monoliths. There are working ranches, a great organic farm where you can buy flowers and vegetables (and help pick them, too), and a living, breathing monastery enveloped in silence. Tucked into a hollow, or spread out across a meadow, are some fine homes, even a few estates. But, mostly, this is a place to celebrate the land. A place to let your horses run, to let your spirits soar. It's wide open and ready to welcome you home.
