Ridge Run

Overview

Developed in the 1980s, Ridge Run is one of Snowmass’s original slope-side subdivisions. Located adjacent to Elk Camp Gondola and above Base Village, it comprises roughly 194 homesites, including single-family lots and duplexes across areas like Maple Ridge and Elk Ridge Lanes.

Ski Access & Topography

Many homes here allow ungroomed ski-in/ski-out access. Upper lots offer easier access, while lower elevations require more adventurous descents—great for those who prioritize ski convenience over perfection. Views of the Continental Divide are a consistent feature.

Architecture & Community

The neighborhood showcases a blend of original builds from Snowmass's Swiss-inspired origin that have been updated over time, alongside newer homes. Spacious lots and forested settings create a harmonious community feel, with options ranging from cozy cabins to contemporary estates.

Value & Appeal

Ridge Run presents slope-side access at a relative discount compared to newer enclaves. It's favored by families and those prioritizing skiing convenience and relative value over ultra-luxury finishes.

Proximity & Amenities

The lower section of Ridge Run is just a 5-minute walk to Base Village and chairlifts, while the upper section enjoys bigger views and privacy, but less direct access to Base Village dining, shops, and summer events.

Ridge Run merges foundational slope-side access, community warmth, and value—an enduring classic for ski-focused buyers seeking proximity and charm without premium exclusivity.
