The events worth timing your trip around.
Aspen's season opening around Thanksgiving. Four mountains, opening-day energy. Thanksgiving week in Aspen books out; charter into Aspen or Eagle.
Fly to this event →New Year's Eve in Aspen: fireworks over the mountain, black-tie galas, and peak ski season. Aspen at NYE is the hardest reservation in American skiing; charter into ASE or Eagle.
Fly to this event →The X Games at Buttermilk, January 29-31. Winter action sports plus headline concerts, now the opening stop of the X Games League. Peak January weekend: athletes, sponsors, and entertainment traffic all fly in.
Fly to this event →The Food and Wine Classic in Aspen, June 18-20. Grand tastings in Wagner Park; passes sell out within hours. Aspen's summer kickoff, and the town books solid, so fly in direct.
Fly to this event →The Aspen Music Festival and School, eight weeks each summer from late June to late August. Over 400 orchestral, chamber, and opera events across Aspen. The long-stay cultural crowd; summer means easy flying and full houses.
Fly to this event →Airport: Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE), 6 miles from downtown; a challenging mountain approach with weather-driven closures.
Alternates: Eagle County Regional (EGE), the reliable all-weather backup 70 minutes away; Rifle (RIL) for larger aircraft.
Aircraft fit: Midsize and super-midsize jets are the sweet spot; heavy jets may need Eagle for runway performance.
Notes: Winter storms can close ASE with little notice. We always hold an Eagle backup plan and pre-position ground transport.
Standard US entry rules apply. ESTA or a visa depending on nationality; tell us early if yours needs a visa and we plan around it.
Yes. Aspen is famously dog-friendly, and pet-friendly aircraft are available on request. We arrange the paperwork and the right aircraft.
Yes, ASE handles private jets daily in winter. It is a mountain airport, so we file an Eagle (EGE) backup for weather days.
We re-route to Eagle County Regional and drive you in; limos are pre-arranged. Most weather delays are measured in hours, not days.
January and February for snow quality; March for longer days and warmer patios.
Absolutely. June's Food and Wine Classic and the eight-week Music Festival make it a second high season, with none of winter's weather risk.
Tell us when. We handle the aircraft, the mountain weather,
and the final transfer to the slopes.
