As the winter and ski season come to a close – there’s never a better time to spend the weekend in the mountains. The month of April is full of great spring celebrations and lots of sunny ski days.
Our own travel experiences, as well as our guests’ feedback, has taught us a thing or two about efficient ski travel. There’s an art to traveling with your ski or snowboard gear. A few pro tips can make all the difference.

Pro Tips
Traveling with your ski boots is always a good idea. Just about everything can be replaced at the mountain. But not a good pair of ski boots. It takes a long time to break in boots, and the only thing worse than losing a pair of perfectly comfortable ski boots is having to start over with a new pair.

Renting Gear in Aspen
However, for our average guest who stays six to seven nights during the winter, the easiest way to travel is to skip the gear-schlepp factor altogether and rent equipment in Aspen.
