"Snowmass is one of four world-class ski destinations in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. This week, the resort closed the Big Burn Lift on weekdays, citing "redundancy" with the Sheer Bliss lift. During the week, skiers and riders can access the same terrain using the Sheer Bliss lift. The lift closure was motivated by the Ullrhof Restaurant construction which decreased skier volume on the Big Burn during the week. The Ullrhof Restaurant is currently closed while it undergoes a massive renovation. It is not scheduled to reopen until November 2026. The Big Burn lift will continue operating on weekends."
"The Big Burn lift services mostly blue cruisers including Whispering Jesse, Timberline, Wineskin, Dallas Freeway and Mick's Gully. Skiers and riders can continue to access those runs from the top of the Sheer Bliss lift at 11,835 feet. At the bottom of those trails, guests can choose to access the bottom of Sheer Bliss by heading down Trestle. Alternatively, skiers can head down Monkshood to access the Snowmass Village Mall or Snowmass Base Village with access to Village Express, Coney Express or the Elk Camp Gondola. The impact of the weekday Big Burn lift closure should be no more than a minor inconvenience for most guests."
"Located at the base of the Big Burn lift, the Ullrhof Restaurant was originally built in 1969 with indoor seating for 220 guests. The new structure will accommodate 450 guests indoors with capacity for an additional 275 outdoors. The new restaurant will feature traditional service as well as mobile order pickup. The new three story state of the art all electric building will bring much needed additional seating for on mountain dining."
