- **A week**: The Ikon's 7 days cover a typical week at Aspen, which usually beats buying daily tickets, even bought 30 days ahead at up to 25% off.
- **Longer or repeat trips**: Aspen Snowmass's own Premier, Flex (4–7 days, no blackouts), Weekday and Alpine 2-Day passes; early pricing until December 4. [Lift tickets and passes](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-lift-tickets-and-passes/).

## Skis at the house, lessons booked (what Aspen Privé arranges)

Rentals fitted where you're staying and the ski days planned around the group. [Ski rental delivery](https://aspenprive.com/ski-rental-delivery-aspen/).

## Using an Ikon well at Aspen

- **Spend the days where they count**: Save Ikon days for the mountains you'll ski longest; one day can cover Highland Bowl, another the whole of Snowmass.
- **Watch the holidays on Base**: Christmas–New Year and Presidents' week are where blackout dates bite; check before you book lodging.
- **Bring the group along**: Friends & Family tickets make a mixed group cheaper; non-skiers can ride the Silver Queen Gondola with a sightseeing ticket. [The gondola](https://aspenprive.com/silver-queen-gondola-aspen/).
