Why JAE for Aspen
Planned from Colorado, not a call center
The mountains are our backyard
Aspen, Snowmass, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Telluride, Steamboat — we plan Colorado winters constantly, know which transfer service is worth it when I-70 isn't, and ski the terrain we recommend.
Homes through our own concierge
Ski-in/ski-out homes and residences sourced through The Colorado Concierge — with the details verified before we recommend: real slope access, bedroom parity for couples, staffing terms in writing.
Passes, handled
Epic, Ikon, or Aspen Snowmass for the whole group, arranged before fall deadlines move the price. Start with our Epic vs. Ikon guide for the 26/27 season.
What we plan
The complete Aspen week, end to end
On the mountain
Private instructors and mountain guides reserved months ahead, lift logistics for mixed-ability groups, and rental gear fitted in your residence the evening you arrive.
Off the mountain
The dinner reservations that go before the snow does, in-home chefs, spa and recovery days, childcare arranged by age, and the one non-ski day every group needs.
Getting there
Flights into Aspen (ASE), Eagle (EGE), or Denver with a real weather plan, and private transfers sized for the group plus its gear — car seats requested, not assumed.
Beyond Aspen
Vail and Beaver Creek weeks, Breckenridge group houses, Telluride escapes, and complete Colorado winters — same advisor, same standard.
Had the best time in Aspen because of this team. We stayed at the St. Regis and got a complimentary upgrade. Jess handled every detail of the weekend, from Cloud 9 to our dinner reservations, and even arranged a private jet charter for some of my friends.

Questions Aspen travelers ask
Before you reach out
Do I need a car in Aspen?
Usually not. The core of town is walkable, free shuttles connect the four mountains, and hotels and private homes arrange in-town transport. The transfer that matters is the airport one — we arrange private vehicles from ASE, EGE, or Denver, sized for the group and its gear, with a weather plan for mountain-airport diversions.
What's the best month to go?
Christmas–New Year's and Presidents' Day are the social peak and book furthest ahead. January is quiet with cold, reliable snow; February and early March balance snowpack and sun; late March is spring skiing and the liveliest après. Early December and April are the underrated value windows.
Aspen or Snowmass for a family?
Snowmass for the skiing — the most terrain of the four mountains, true ski-in/ski-out lodging, and a base village built for kids. Aspen town for the restaurants and the scene. Many families stay slopeside in Snowmass and come into town for two or three dinners; we plan both and handle the shuttling.
