Aspen Snowmass ambassadors are the welcoming, friendly face that guests see at all four mountains. They know Aspen Snowmass inside and out and pride themselves on being able to answer (or get the answer to) any question about the resort or the Roaring Fork Valley. In addition to free orientation tours, they offer information on terrain and facilities and goodies like coffee and apple cider in the mornings.
The Ambassador Program accepts applications every fall, which you can find here.
Ambassador Mission
Our Mission: Community and Environmental Ambassadors, who are selected members of the Roaring Fork Valley community, volunteer to interact with visitors to our four mountains to maximize the pleasure and enjoyment of our guests’ vacation experience. At the same time, they demonstrate that Aspen Snowmass is not only a ski resort without equal, but also a special community of diverse people who strongly value and have a vested interest in the sustainability of their lifestyle.
By your contact, your actions and your attitude, you will create memorable experiences and stories for our visitors to take home with them and tell their friends and families. It’s these stories about how they have been treated during their vacation that will influence their decision to return, and bring others with them.
