“Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent light fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” ~ Snowmass Alpacas LLC.
Snowmass Alpacas explained that Snowmass Pure Passion represented 30 years of passion in breeding for the perfect-colored fleece on the most beautiful-bodied alpaca. When Pure Passion was born, they stated that he was one that you could not take your eyes off. His fleece is extraordinarily fine, and gloriously bright, showing consistency of excellence from top to bottom as his pedigree would predict and his histograms reflect. Snowmass Pure Passion was first shown in 2009 at AOBA Nationals where he was awarded 1st place as well as Champion. Making him a 4th generation champion! In 2010, he took a 2nd to his brother Snowmass Matrix Elite in two shows, International Alpaca Odyssey and the Futurity, with the judges stating that Matrix Elite was denser but Pure Passion finer. Correctly so, as you see in his 5th fleece which measures 17.0 AFD. Snowmass Alpacas further stated, "If you asked us to show you what we think an ideal alpaca looks like, we would take you to the pasture to see Snowmass Pure Passion."
“Pure Passion is a spectacular fawn herdsire who maintains a superb fine, uniformed fleece. I can’t wait to see what this male puts on the ground.” ~ AOA Judge Kevin O’Leary.

With the fantastic pedigree, fleece, and phenotypical attributes it’s not surprising that he is a cornerstone of Alpaca Country Estate’s breeding program. His prepotent genetics continue to create champion after champion. He has been able to produce true black, silver grey, and rose grey cria! His most noted offspring are Estates Pure Passion Rose Legacy XXX (multi-champion, Futurity Champion, National Invited Champion, and Dark National Supreme Champion) and Estates Passionate Fever (14x Champion, 3x Judges Choice.) He continues to produce champions year after year! In the fall of 2023 Estates Pure Golden Honey and Estates Pure Aleutian both brought home banners!
