With snowflakes arriving in Colorado any day now, new on-mountain developments in the Snowmass ski area get ready for visitors. Located in Pitkin County, Snowmass is situated in the valley of the Roaring Fork River, near the mouth of Snowmass Creek along State Highway 82 between Aspen and Basalt. The Snowmass complex includes four mountains — Buttermilk, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Snowmass.
Some of the new amenities at Snowmass include a new chairlift, Coney Express, debuting across from Snowmass Mall. The new chairlift allows for easier and faster access to Snowmass’ more than 3,300 acres of terrain. Also new is the renovation of Lynn Britt Cabin, including expanded outdoor and deck space, perfect for a quick grab-and-go snack or a lengthy après ski visit that features a new DJ booth.

The personalized Limelight Snowmass Rock-Climbing Train & Adventure experience is one of the most-sought out activities at Snowmass. For the first two days of the stay, guests train and practice on the Limelight Snowmass indoor rock-climbing wall, one of the tallest in Colorado. Guests have the opportunity to learn the basics and have on-the-ground education training, gear talk and prep with one of Aspen Expedition’s expert guides. On the third day, guests take skills outside with the guide and climb on Independence Pass, the real topography Limelight Snowmass is designed after.
The Anderson Ranch Arts Center Happenings and Events is located in the heart of Snowmass and invites Limelight Snowmass guests to peruse its works; take part in a workshop; attend a community event; or shop the ArtWorks store for supplies, crafts and gifts. All Limelight guests receive a lunch voucher. Happenings in late fall/early winter include Panel Discussion: Cultural Identity and Representation (Oct. 5), Visiting Artist Lecture: Kevin Umana (Oct. 14) and Spooktacular Creepy Crafts (Oct. 31).

Jul 16, 2025Hotel Saint Augustine Review
Blending with its Montrose neighborhood like the indigenous and cultivated plants hugging the property’s walkways, the newly built Hotel Saint Augustine opened mid-January 2025. The first Bunkhouse hotel in Houston, Texas, is easily mistaken for garden apartments. Seventy-one guest rooms and suites encompass a tree-lined block. The hotel’s buildings are only two stories tall and also house a lobby, lounge, restaurant and event space. Tucked into a corner of the grounds sits a circular outdoor pool.

Jul 16, 2025Global City Guidebook: Phoenix
Arizona’s capital and most populous city basks beneath the sun year-round, boasting Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses, major sports teams, luxury spas and lively nightclubs. The city lies within the Salt River Valley along the northern reaches of the Sonoran Desert, making for dramatic mountain views and vast desert landscapes beyond. The city itself comprises 15 urban villages, many tracing roots to historical communities. Despite brutally hot summers, various experiences and sites in and around the city combat the heat, such as tubing and kayaking on the Salt River, swimming in any of the city’s six lakes, taking a moonlight hike, or floating in one of a number of the city’s upscale hotel pools.
