Visit Aspen Snowmass
We Welcome You To Pitkin County!
Check our latest update to Level Orange guidelines and restrictions.
Travel Responsibility Code
As of March 5, 2021, all travelers visiting Pitkin County are required to fill out a Traveler Responsibility Code form on the county website acknowledging local COVID-19 policies and are encouraged, although not required per CDC travel guidance, to get tested before arrival. Then you can enjoy the great outdoors with us and all of the creative, socially-distanced events and activities that have evolved that are the “silver lining” of the COVID-19 health crisis in our community. We’re learning about new ways to connect and no virus can keep us from enjoying our vast open spaces!
Masks are required in Pitkin County. View the full map of where masks are required in Colorado here.
Your Promise to Us – Our Promise to You
As a community we have promised to abide by the Five Commitments of Containment to curb the spread of the virus and help us keep our community open: We will maintain social distance, we will wash our hands often, we will cover our faces in public, we will stay home if we are sick and we will seek testing immediately if we experience symptoms.
We need you to promise that you are symptom-free, and that you will join us in embracing the Five Commitments which include seeking testing if you develop symptoms while you are here.
A question we get a lot is:
Is it safe to travel to Aspen/Snowmass and surrounding areas?
Like everywhere else in the world, we are in the throes of a global pandemic. Aspen/Snowmass and the surrounding areas are not immune to positive COVID-19 cases and we conduct thorough contact tracing when cases occur. As we have emerged from the shutdown we are seeing an increase in positive cases in our community. We have been reminded by our local Public Health officials that, like nearly everywhere else in the world, we are “not out of the woods.” The virus is here and we are more vulnerable if we do not follow the Five Commitments of Containment and if we do not avoid what we’re calling the Three C’s.
