## What Aspen Privé can arrange for this

Tickets loaded and skis fitted before day one, lessons booked, and the mornings handled.

- [Ski mornings, handled](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=ski-mornings): Skis fitted at the house the night before, the gear carried to the lift in the morning and collected when the lifts close. You ski; we handle the equipment.
- [Private ski instructor](https://aspenprive.com/private-ski-instructor-aspen/): A private lesson matched to the skier and the mountain.
- [Ski rental delivered](https://aspenprive.com/ski-rental-delivery-aspen/): Fitted at the residence, not in a shop queue.
- [Après, ready at the house](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=apres-ready): Come in from the mountain to the fire lit, something warm to drink and a spread laid out: set up while you ski by our chef or caterer, from groceries already in the house.
