Discover the outdoors in the Aspen Valley with Aspen Snowmass Homes: Fly Fishing

After what seemed like an endless runoff season for fly fishermen in and around the Roaring Fork Valley, river water flows have decreased to a more fishing-friendly level. “The fishing is really starting to heat up around here,” said Cam Scott of Taylor Creek Fly Shop in Basalt. “The flows are dropping to optimal levels, and the hatches are in full force.”To some, it doesn’t get much better than the famous Green Drake hatches which occur on the Frying Pan, and they’re just becoming apparent on the lower sections, slowly working themselves upstream day by day. The 450 inches of recorded snow throughout the winter can be blamed for the slight delay of perfect fishing conditions, leaving the river to thrill-seeking white water rafters and kayakers. But now, it’s our turn.

Although it may be a few more weeks until perfection makes its appearance, there are plenty of fish to be landed on both the Frying Pan and the Roaring Fork Rivers.

Day floats are available and currently running from most guided shops, although you might want to stick with a wade trip until the flows drop a little more.

The Snowmass Renaissance

Why invest Snowmass Real Estate now: The Snowmass Renaissance

Already one of North America's premier resorts, Snowmass is undergoing a renaissance that ranges from over $50 million in lodging renovations in the past two years to a new $21 million entryway project to a new base village and on-mountain improvements.


Snowmass On-Mountain Improvements
Recent on-mountain and ski area facility improvements total over $45 million (including summer 2007). Improvements include the Village Express six-pack lift and Sky Cab gondola in the 2005-2006 season and the new Elk Camp Gondola and terrain park improvements for the 2006-2007 season. For the 2007-2008 season the new Elk Camp Meadows beginner's area will debut at the top of the Elk Camp Gondola with a new quad chair, two new surface lifts and six acres of terrain exclusively dedicated to beginners.

Snowmass Village Lodging Renovations
In the past three years, Snowmass lodges have spent over $50 million in renovations on everything from exterior work to new conference facilities to updated room interiors.
Base Village

The future base village, slated for completion in 2011, will feature a 25,000-square-foot children's center, a 15,000-square-foot conference space, 64,000 square feet of new shops and restaurants, a community aquatic center, a 246-unit conference hotel, The Little Nell at Snowmass, and 359 condominiums.

Children's Center: An exciting new children's center enriches a child's mind, body and spirit while sharing a common appreciation and respect for the pristine Colorado environment. The 25,000-square-foot facility slated to open in 2008 offers care and programs for children two months to 18 years. Interactive interior design includes climbing structures, reading caves, sound systems, mobiles, aquariums and more. The center is conveniently located at the base of Fanny Hill so families arriving via the snow from slopeside lodging have easy access. A private, on-snow learning area includes two 100-foot-long Magic Carpet-type lifts and immediate access to the Cabriolet. Kids and teens will have numerous nighttime offerings.

Retail, Restaurants & Nightlife: Eleven new restaurants and bars, live outdoor music in the new events plaza, a two-story bar with a huge patio and deck areas, indoor music, DJs and dancing, and 64,000-square-feet of new retail and restaurant space.

True start to summer-Thursday concerts

It’s official, summer has hit Snowmass in full force. The blanket of white powder is quickly diminishing and providing the nestled village with lush colors from the blooming vegetation. Our weekends may even seem to start a bit earlier now, as Fanny Hill will once again be transformed into an ideal venue for concert-goers.

Whether you’re wearing ski boots or flip-flops, tradition surrounds Snowmass year round. This summer-long event is no exception. Organized by the Town of Snowmass Village, the music series is celebrating its 17th season, and is one of the many summer favorites as far as experiencing the mountain-life culture. It’s virtually a melting pot of the valley’s residents and travelers, young and old, coming together for one particular reason – music.

Thursday marks Snowmass’ opening night for the Free Music Series, where the Drew Emmit Band will showcase their blugrass/jam band style of tunes. With one of the nation’s premier mandolin players in house, Fanny Hill is expected to draw in the thousands of locals and visitors alike.

“I’ve been looking forward to the Thursday night concerts since the end of the ski season,” said 25-year old Snowmass local, Jeff Tenorio. “It’s always a good time no matter what band is playing, and you couldn’t ask for a better place to see a show. Plus it’s free, that never hurts.”

Although the BYOB policy has changed in the recent years, of-age concert -goers will be able to purchase (and afford) drinks within the venue. However, feel free to bring in a picnic basket or back pack for snacks and unopened refreshments (non-alcoholic).

Here’s the line up:
• June 26- Drew Emmit Band- Jam Band Style
• July 3- Freddy Jones Band- A mix of blues, rock and folk tunes
• July 10- Gaelic Storm- Traditional Irish melodies meets fresh original beats
• July 17- Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks- Swing, jazz, folk and country
• July 24- Ruthie Foster- This Texan’s voice has been compared to Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin
• July 31- Bonerama- A New Orleans band that has been recognized by Rolling Stone Magazine and Offbeat, for their untraditional style of funk
• August 7- Great American Taxi- From Boulder, this is the leftovers from Leftover Salmon, headed by Vince Herman
• August 14- Robben Ford- This acclaimed guitarist offers a diverse number of sounds. He has won four Grammys, and excels in blues music
• August 21- Big Sandy & His Fly Rite Boys- A well balanced mix of American roots music, swing and country.
