guitar73 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) great report! aspen def has a good set up going on, and flying into aspen would be super great if the plane tix weren't so dang expensive. glad to see that you loved highlands: that's my favorite of the four. if we go back to aspen again I think i'll just bounce between snowmass and highlands. ETA: we've found that aspen is only as stuffy/snooty/stuck-up as you make it to be. Edited February 6, 2019 by guitar73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for her and good luck as well. I'm sure we'll hear when the next trip comes up in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every piece of advice they gave was spot on. I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to give away the best spots to tourists, but they were nice as hell. also, Aspen has a great ski town vibe and not stuck up at all in my opinion 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll welcome you to their mountain unlike JH locals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
