Aspen Winter & Ski Transportation
Winter is the only season where the drive matters more than the destination.
Between November and April, getting to Aspen is a different job than getting there in July. I-70 closes without warning. Independence Pass is shut for the season. Flights into Aspen/Pitkin County cancel and reroute to Denver or Eagle with no notice — and every one of those problems lands on whoever booked the transportation.
We run all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz Sprinters and AWD SUVs, in winter, on these roads, every week.
Colorado traction law is not optional
From September 1 through May 31, Colorado enforces traction and chain law on the I-70 mountain corridor.
When Code 15 is active, every vehicle needs adequate tread and either all-wheel drive or chains. Vehicles that do not comply get turned around, or fined if they block the road.
Our fleet is AWD and maintained to the tread standard year-round. You are not going to be the group sitting at the Eisenhower Tunnel watching traffic move without you. Colorado traction law explained →
Your flight into Aspen may not land in Aspen
Aspen/Pitkin County (ASE) has one of the more demanding approaches in the country. In winter weather, flights divert to Denver or Eagle County with very little warning — sometimes after you have already boarded. We track flights. When your arrival moves from ASE to DEN, that is a four-hour drive instead of a fifteen-minute one, and it needs a vehicle repositioned before you land, not after you call.
Independence Pass is closed all winter
Highway 82 over Independence Pass closes seasonally, usually early November through late May. Anyone routing you that way in January is guessing. Winter arrivals come in via Glenwood Springs on I-70, from Eagle County, or from Denver — and the right route changes with the conditions that day.
Ski and snowboard equipment
The question nobody answers properly: will all of us, plus our skis, plus our boot bags, plus our luggage, actually fit in one vehicle?
Our high-roof Sprinters are configured for winter travel with passengers and equipment together, so a group does not get split across vehicles because someone forgot to count the ski bags. Tell us what you are travelling with and we will tell you exactly what fits.
Departure morning is the hard one
Early flights out of ASE mean pre-dawn pickups on roads that were plowed at 4am, or were not. We build departure timing off the actual conditions that morning, not off a mileage estimate.
Where we run in winter
Airports: Denver International (DEN), Eagle County (EGE), Aspen/Pitkin County (ASE), Grand Junction (GJT) and Garfield County/Rifle (RIL). FBO and private aviation pickups are handled as their own workflow.
Mountains and towns: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass, plus Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs and Woody Creek.
The fleet
- AWD Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, high roof — groups travelling with ski and board equipment. The winter workhorse.
- Chevrolet Suburban High Country — couples, small groups and executive travel.
- Freightliner XL Supercoach, 41 to 56 passengers — large group movements and event transportation.
Every vehicle is private and assigned. We are not a shared shuttle — you are not waiting on eleven strangers and four other hotels. See the full fleet →
