Colorado & beyond · Season 2026/27

The mountains, handled — passes included

JAE is an Aspen travel agent and luxury ski trip planner, based an easy drive away in Denver. We plan complete winter trips — the ski-in/ski-out home, the private guide, the table after last chair — and we also handle the unglamorous part nobody enjoys: the passes. Epic, Ikon, or Aspen Snowmass, arranged for your whole group before deadlines move the price. New for this season: our Epic vs. Ikon 26/27 guide, with current prices and dates.

Beyond the pass

A pass is a ticket. We plan the trip.

On the mountain

Private ski guides and instructors, lift logistics, and the tables worth booking after last chair.

Off the mountain

Ski-in/ski-out homes and hotels through The Colorado Concierge, in-home chefs, childcare arranged, and recovery days that actually recover.

Between the two

Airport-to-slope transfers and the reservations that go before the snow does.

Straight answers

Before the season

Pass prices step up through fall; group trips should lock passes when dates lock. We track the deadlines so you don't.

Pass arrangement is part of planning a JAE winter trip; ask us about stand-alone requests.

It depends on your home-mountain math — where the group actually wants to ski, and how many days at each. Request a pass consult above and we'll give you the two-line answer for your exact group.

One planner coordinates the whole group: a ski-in/ski-out home or connecting rooms sized to the families, passes arranged for every skier before deadlines move the price, lessons and childcare booked by age, airport-to-slope transfers, and the table reserved after last chair. Each family gets one itinerary and one point of contact — not six planning threads.

True ski-in/ski-out access (not a shuttle described as one), bedroom parity for groups of couples, a hot tub and gear room that fit the whole party, staffing terms in writing, and proximity to the village you'll actually use at night. We source chalets through The Colorado Concierge and verify these details before recommending. Choosing between resorts? Start here →

Yes — private instructors and mountain guides, equipment rental delivered to the residence, childcare arranged, spa and recovery days, and the dinner reservations that go before the snow does.
