I think it is great flying into Aspen.....except when it does not happen. The pilot tried to land, but it was scary. The clouds never lifted, it was bumpy......a no go. So Grand Junction. I was surprised how some of the Aspenites had never been diverted. Me: we will get a bus to the airport.
I likely have been diverted 10+ times to/from Telluride.
Anyways, I was not 100% when getting into Aspen. But that meant snow, and even more the following day. I would say 15-20" over this storm system.
Oh, lift tickets...... I had a friend's Ikon pass. Let's not talk about that. This trip got planned while in British Columbia. If Telluride, lift tickets 0-0, Aspen lift ticket $500-600. Anyways knew this going into the trip, so just a cost of doing business.
I have become a last-minute guy..... skiing when things are good.
Grand Junction to Aspen
i'm getting to like Aspen better:
Traynor Ridge
Walking around Aspen
I have started liking Aspen more. The town is packed, but no lift lines on the mountain.
