Has any of my fellow Vols Fans ever been to Aspen, Colorado?

[allstar34bd]

I'm thinking about flying out Tuesday for 4-5 days and enjoying some snow and skiing for the first time in my life.

 

[VolDave53]

Umm, Yes. Why do you ask?

Never been to Aspen, but lived in Denver for a few years. If you're not locked into going to Aspen, I'd recommend Steamboat. It's by far my favorite mountain in Colorado. Great town, a little less crowded than the bigger mountains (Vail/Breck/Beaver Creek).

No matter where you end up, you picked a great state to go for your first time!

My only advice is not to overdo it. You'll be super tired at the end of each day. If you're there for 4-5 days, there's no need to ski 14 hour days.

Also, find a hot tub.

Ahhhhh California!

 

[CAVPUT]

Not my favorite. Love Big Sky. That's my choice.

 

[Special Ed]

Don't miss the Rocky Mountain High experience while you're there.

It's legal now.

Really? It is slow now. Who died and made you Grand Poobah of volnation?

If you are locked into the Aspen area, I recommend Snowmass. My favorite Colorado ski resort. Beaver Creek is nice as well though much smaller.

Utah is cheaper and may be better this year. Check them out and as someone already mentioned, Steamboat Springs is not a bad choice. Aspen has glitz you'll pay for in overhead.

Don't let the dudes con you into buying a time share while you're there.

In addition to the hot tub, I also suggest a healthy supply of red wine. Helps with the lactic acid and sore legs if you aren't a regular in working out.

No shops in Aspen

Buttermilk is wide open, not crowded, and easy skiing. Best place in aspen to learn. DON'T ski aspen mtn if you are learning how to ski. The blue trails there are very steep. Snowmass is about a 20 min bus ride away. Definitely hangout in snowmass village. The town is small and really nice. You can walk to almost everything.

Make sure you have a camelbak for water and wear it under your coat.

 

[NEVolFan]

So much advice... where to begin.

First... pay attention to the dress codes at functions. It can open doors for you.

No shops in Aspen

There are multiple dispensaries in Aspen.
