What was new in Snowmass Village this year? It might be easier to answer what wasn’t new, given the abundance of new buildings, businesses and plans in the town that have manifested in 2021.

The doors to GG’s Market are officially open for the season, with seven-days-a-week operations in full swing more than a year-and-a-half after the project was announced. It’s been a long time coming for optimistic shop owner Landon Goldstone, who co-owns GG’s Market and the Aspen and Snowmass Village locations of JUS with his sister Tamara Petit and her partner Mark d’Emden.
“I’m looking forward to a good summer,” Goldstone said.
GG’s Market offers a selection of gourmet meats and cheeses as well as kitchen-essential varieties and some vegan dairy options.

The team at JUS Aspen has fielded “hundreds of requests” for a Snowmass Village location in the four years since the juicery opened in the Ute City Building, according to owner Landon Goldstone.
Now, a Snowmass sister store plus a new specialty market is finally coming to fruition. JUS Snowmass and GG’s Market make their debut in Base Village this week after more than a year in development; both shops were originally scheduled to open during the 2019-20 winter season.
“It took a lot more time because we wanted to be the go-to (spot),” Goldstone said; he co-owns and operates the space with his sister Tamara Petit and Mark d’Emden. “When we really sat down to look at what we wanted JUS to be … we really wanted to make the space as beautiful as possible.”
