In addition to the lift tickets, the museum and the ski company have collaborated on the installation of on-site projects on the mountain, by Sone and Grotjahn, as well as artists Patterson Beckwith, Teresita Fernández, Dave Muller, Susan Philpsz, Lars Ø. Ramberg, Mark Wallinger, and Jennifer West.

New York-based artist Shinique Smith’s site-specific mural, Resonant Tides (2015), is also on view at Elk Camp on Snowmass for the length of the 2016-2017 season. The work reflects myriad influences—from Japanese calligraphy to Abstract Expressionism—that appear in her work to address cultural and social issues surrounding production, consumption, and waste.
