Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can a private jet land in Aspen if it’s snowing heavily?

Safety is our top priority. While our aircraft are equipped for winter conditions, operations at Aspen (ASE) are subject to strict weather minimums. If conditions are below safe limits, we will arrange to land at a nearby alternate airport, such as Rifle (RIL) or Eagle (EGE), and coordinate seamless ground transportation for you to Aspen.

2. How much ski and snowboard equipment can I bring?

A Midsize Jet is an excellent choice for ski trips as it offers significantly more luggage space than a Light Jet. It can typically accommodate skis, boots, and luggage for up to 8 passengers. Always confirm your specific equipment needs with your flight advisor to ensure the selected aircraft is a perfect fit

3. When is the best time to book a flight for the peak ski season?

For peak travel periods like the Christmas holidays, New Year’s, and Presidents’ Day weekend, we recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance. Aircraft availability and airport slots in Aspen become extremely scarce, and early booking ensures the best selection and pricing.

4. Are there direct flights to other ski resorts besides Aspen?

Absolutely. We can arrange direct flights to other premier ski destinations with private aviation access, such as Telluride, CO (TEX), Jackson Hole, WY (JAC), and Sun Valley, ID (SUN). Our team can help you craft the perfect multi-resort ski vacation.
