Broadband & Fiber Optic Network 

In 2020, the Town Council approved an additional budget appropriation for the Town to pursue and deploy high-speed internet infrastructure in Snowmass Village. In April of 2021, the Town Council adopted the Town's first Broadband Master Plan, which aims to install and lay the groundwork for a "backbone" of fiber optic cable for Snowmass Village in various phases.

Fiber Network: Phase 1

The first phase of the project installed a core infrastructure of fiber optic cable into Snowmass Village, forming a ring along the community's major transportation corridors. In partnership with Holy Cross Energy, the Town installed approximately 48,000 feet of fiber optic cable housed in conduit from Highway 82 into Snowmass Village. Phase I connects the Town's major facilities.

This core network provides high-speed internet service to Town facilities. Construction of Phase I was completed in 2023.

Fiber Network: Phase II

Phase II of the fiber network continues the deployment of the core "backbone" network by installing additional fiber optic cable up to the Upper Village. This installation will allow the Town to connect to its other main facilities, such as the Transportation Department, Housing Department, and the Mall Transit Station.

Phase II of the fiber network is currently in design. Construction is expected to start in the summer of 2024.

Fiber Network: Phase III 

In future phases of this project, the Town will to partner with Internet Service Providers (ISP) to provide high-speed internet services to Snowmass Village residents and businesses. 

During this phase, the Town also intends to connect to the anchor institutions of Snowmass Village such as Snowmass Water & Sanitation District, Roaring Fork Fire & Rescue, and Little Red School House.
