Below is the current Snowmass Rodeo approved plan to build for 2024.
The 2023 Snowmass Rodeo will be held at the existing facility, as is, because the wetlands
next to the rodeo grounds must be incorporated into the entire Town Park Plan and the
wetlands plan has not yet been approved.
In order to build the 2024 Rodeo Plan, TOSV has received a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers for the placement of 580 cubic yards of fill materials into wetlands located at the south end of an existing wetland-pond comple. The project will result in the permanent loss of 0.09 acre of palustrine scrub-shrub wetlands. Please note that any future permit requests that involve additional impacts to aquatic resources associated with the expansion and improvement of the site may be viewed cumulatively for the purpose of determining compensatory mitigation requirements. Here is the TOSV Army Cory Permit

elements for contestant safety and proper rodeo function:
• Contestant warm up area
• Barrel racer run in entry gate
