Disc Golf
Disc Golf If you like frisbee golf, tossing a few rounds on Snowmass Mountain is not to be missed. The 36-hole on-mountain disc golf course meanders from the top of the Burlingame lift all they way down to the Snowmass Village Mall.
To get there, you first must get to the top of the Burligham lift. Your options are: hike, bike -- if you have legs of steel and plenty of time -- or take the Burlingham lift (recommended).
Once there, take in a birds-eye view of the surrounding landscapes, take deep breathe and toss around a few discs.
Discs are available for rent or purchase at Four-Mountain Sports at Snowmass. Call 877-282-7736 or 970-923-1227 for more information on all your summer recreational needs.
