Most of Sky Mountain Park is now closed for the winter to protect wildlife. The closure includes the Cozyline, Cozy Pony, Airline, Skyline Ridge, Deadline, Viewline and Ditchline trails, as well as the new Seven Star Trail and Rim Trail North on the opposite side of the Brush Creek Valley.
The closure began Dec. 1 and continues through May 15 (the trails reopen May 16). In addition, the Brush Creek Trail is closed to use through March 31. It remains closed to dogs through May 15 (and dogs must be leashed when they are permitted).
Seven Star Trail, the new Sky Mountain Park connection between Rim Trail North and Snowmass Town Park, debuted in the fall of 2016.
The trail (see the map below) is roughly four miles in length, with 35 in-sloped turns. This is a two-way trail; bikers, be prepared to yield to uphill traffic and to hikers. No dogs are permitted on the trail.
Seven Star Trail was a joint project of Open Space and Trails and the Town of Snowmass Village with financial support from the Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association.
