Aspen Airport closures

Aspen airport has closures for various reasons most often for wind and snow. Many times when Aspen is closed, other Colorado airports like Eagle Vail, Rifle, Grand Junction and Denver International, DIA are open and flights are coming in and out. Aspen Airport Shuttles can get you to these other Colorado airports, even on some of the worst Aspen snow days to catch your connecting flights.

Aspen has a bus shuttle that goes Denver to Aspen whose main advantage is being one of the least expensive options to go from Denver to Aspen. The main negative is that if Vail Pass is closed you are going to be stuck on the bus, or trying to get a room with 40 or more other passengers. For this reason many people will opt for a charter limousine which is better in the snow and as it is a smaller load it is easier to find accommodations should the passes be closed. The other options are shuttles that are not 4x4 or small taxis.

Aspen Limousines are mostly 4x4 with studded snow tires and can get you safely to the nearby airports so that you can catch your connecting flights. Aspen & its famous snow dumps is one of the main reasons why people come to Aspen in the winter time, you cannot have great powder days, unless you get dumps of snow.

There is a Aspen Airport Taxi service but the Aspen limousine service with a booth in the airport can provide the same basic taxi services. Because of their smaller size of Aspen airport taxis they might not be the best deal for larger groups or for Aspen arrivals or departures that have large amounts of luggage to get you to your Aspen hotels.
