Travel Note
Transportation for the weekend
Aspen is a very pedestrian friendly town, and unless you are driving into town, you will most likely not need a car for the weekend. Most hotels provide complimentary Aspen airport transfers and local transportation within Aspen downtown core. There is a free bus system for the Aspen/Snowmass area. It is clean, efficient, and the locals use it, including us. If you are staying in downtown Aspen, go to Rubey Park Transit Center on Durant Ave. to catch a bus to almost anywhere. There are also buses to and from Snowmass. http://www.rfta.com/ Friday night Take one of our shuttles OR take the Castle Maroon bus to Aspen Highlands. The Castle Maroon bus departs Rubey Park Transit at :00, :20, :40 past each hour. Sunday Take one of our shuttles OR take the Castle Maroon bus to Aspen Chapel. The Castle Maroon bus departs Rubey Park Transit Center at :00, :20, :40 past each hour. When you get off the bus, walk past the chapel, take a right on Heather Lane, and the house is the 2nd one on the right.

FAQs
Question
Tips for Aspen
Answer
Aspen is about 8,000 feet above sea level. Adjusting to the higher altitude is extremely important in order to feel your best and fully enjoy your stay. Remember: DRINK PLENTY OF WATER It’s easy to become dehydrated at higher altitudes. USE A HUMIDIFIER AT NIGHT Ask at your hotel or look in the closets of your condo/home. LATHER ON THE SUNCREEN The sun is very strong here. PREPARE FOR ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS Temperatures can range from highs in the 80’s during the day to lows in the 50’s in the mornings and evenings. SCHEDULE YOUR RIDE AHEAD OF TIME If you plan on using a taxi or rideshare while you’re here, consider making a reservation in advance as it might take a little longer to find a driver. TAKE IT EASY ON YOUR FIRST DAY WEATHER Temperatures will range from the 60’s during the day to the 40’s in the mornings and evenings. Bring a jacket Friday night, as we will be outside (with heaters). Saturday the reception will be indoors, but there will be a coat check if you’d like to wear a coat.
