Snowmass Club

What Snowmass Club does

Snowmass Club is a private four-season country club and luxury resort founded in 1980 and owned by ABA Snowmass LLC, operating on a 210-acre property at 8,000 feet elevation in Snowmass Village, Colorado, approximately 15 minutes from Aspen. The club generates revenue through three primary mechanisms: (1) recurring membership dues across three tiers — Platinum Golf (unlimited access to the Jim Engh-designed 18-hole championship course), Platinum Athletic (fitness, racquet, aquatics, dining access), and Young Professional (ages 23–39 with installment options); (2) fractional real estate sales and ongoing rental income across 39 luxury residences split between Phase I (PRC, 1/7th interests, 210 owners) and Phase II (Sanctuary, 1/8th interests, 72 owners); and (3) ancillary revenue from three dining venues, private events and weddings, and short-term vacation rentals ranging from $550 to $2,500 per night.

The core physical asset base consists of a 7,008-yard Jim Engh links-style golf course, a 19,000+ square-foot Spa & Fitness Center, a racquet complex featuring eight outdoor tennis courts (four clay, four hard), two indoor Har-Tru courts, eight pickleball courts, and two Padel courts, a four-pool heated aquatics complex with hot tubs and saunas, and multiple event venues. The Residences division integrates property ownership with full club privileges and international exchange access through The Registry Collection's network of 240+ properties across 44 countries. Fractional ownership is administered by Preferred Broker Erik Cavarra, who also serves as Managing Broker for Engel & Völkers.

The target customer base is affluent individuals, families, and second-home buyers seeking a mountain lifestyle in the Aspen/Snowmass corridor. The 51–100 employee organization is led by COO/General Manager Rick Sussman (former Club Corp of America VP managing 20+ clubs) under a private ownership group led by Managing Partner Eric Witmondt (Woodmont Properties). Marketing relies on member referrals, discovery visits, organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), and the Registry Collection partnership. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the club holds capped membership to preserve member experience.
