Copper/Frisco to Aspen/Snowmass Shuttle Service?

[MNSurfer]

Is there a shuttle or bus service between these [subject] locations? Ideally, we'd like to get to from Copper to Snowmass Village, but can do Frisco - Aspen/PKE or some thing else. I've called CME and the individual I spoke with said they do not have an option for this.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Looks interesting, but not sure it will work. We're fling into DEN, taking CME to Copper, and then meeting-up with friends/family in Snowmass, and then flying out of PKE. So we need to just get the Copper>Snowmass thing figured-out.

Try CME one-way from Copper to ASE (Aspen - Pitkin County Airport) then a short walk to the highway to catch a bus up to Snowmass Village.

Alternate - Copper to EGE (Vail/Eagle)

Ok, so CME doesn't do anything from ASE to east of Vail that is non-charter ($599). But they can do Vail to anywhere in Aspen/Snowmass. Bully for us! Found FreshTracks can get us from Copper to Vail ($15 ea!), but arrives about 45-minutes after the CME departs (0805). Next CME lift to Aspen/Snowmass is at 1630.

 

I don't know. Maybe $900 for a rental isn't so bad, after all.

if you'd priced hiring (rental) an adequately sized vehicle out of an airport and it was prohibitively expensive, perhaps a better rate is available off-site (non airport).  

if I'd paid to rent a mini-van out of DIA over the last 10 days, it'd cost nearly $2K.  my willingness to pay $50 taxi fare (30 minutes) to the same rental agency/different location saved $1300-$1400.  $688 was the total bill.
