Keep those masks on when walking outside in one of Snowmass Village’s three commercial hubs: Town Council voted April 5 on second reading to extend an ordinance designating mandatory mask zones in Base Village, the Snowmass Center and the Snowmass Mall through June 7.
Council members Tom Fridstein, Tom Goode, Alyssa Shenk and Bob Sirkus voted in favor of the extension at the regular meeting; Mayor Bill Madsen was the dissenting vote.
That’s sooner than the extension originally specified it would otherwise have been scheduled to sunset Sept. 30 if council had approved it as-is, according to a copy of the ordinance

When it comes to sustainability, the town of Snowmass Village is (mostly) on track to meet the goals it set in 2009, according to a Sustainability and Resiliency Plan Update presented by the Environmental Advisory Board at a Dec. 14 Town Council meeting.
Across 10 sectors of town life and environmental conservation covering everything from affordable housing to wildlife habitat 57 individual goals are on track, 29 need some attention, and six are currently unaddressed or missed, the report indicates. An update in early 2021 will evaluate whether the town has officially reached its “20 by 20” goal to reduce carbon emissions by 20% from a 2009 baseline by the end of 2020.
