Cthulhufish Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 There are free buses between the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Parking a car can really suck in Aspen. As long as you're ok with a little walking and only carrying one or two boards, the buses are fantastic and frequent. I rented a car for the first 2 trips to Aspen, and then not again for the next 7. I didn't miss the car! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Corey is a machine so take it with grain of salt/YMMV(your mileage may vary) i may be getting old and soft in my older age lol..Here are flip side/mere mortal perspective: Walking in hardboot after a hard day of carving and carrying all your gears on a bus is do-able for sure. Able to change out of full gears and relax is pretty grand. I been to Aspen on ski club trip long long time ago: The Roaring fork shuttle service is amazing. (Free during winter). I was in softboot/young and full of youth exuberance. No car no problem. Many ppl fly into ASE and don't need a car. If you staying in Snowmass village/Buttermilk Hotel/downtown Aspen (more expensive) - shuttling seems to make lots of sense. If you stay outskirt (cheaper): having a car let you explore the surrounding a bit. Glenwood Hot spring is 50 mins away(still never been to after 10+ years) but pass by every time lol. Driving isn't too bad but there could be traffic/bad weather. Depends on Covid, some ppl don't feel comfortable on public transportation. I was on a train for the first time post covid and get used to it pretty quickly. you can't go wrong either way. It will be a great adventure. it comes down to your preference/budget concerns. more than happy to answer any Q. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Great stuff Mr. Pow! Uh, can I say I kinda forgot about Covid for a minute there? Yeah, that changes my thoughts above... I learned to carry my boots after the second year. So nice to put on regular footwear for the trip home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Yeah, I took a bootbag on the bus as well as my board. Super convenient, but I understand Covid concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
