A ski-day driver in Aspen
Four mountains, one car: the skis carried, lunch on a different mountain, and nobody waiting for a bus in ski boots.
Four mountains, one car: the skis carried, lunch on a different mountain, and nobody waiting for a bus in ski boots.
Aspen has four mountains, and the free RFTA buses link them in winter. For a family with gear, or a day that moves between mountains, a driver by the hour (from $210, three-hour minimum, waiting included) takes the skis, the boots and the children.
Routes and road rules below come from the Aspen Chamber, CDOT, RFTA and town sources, checked November 10, 2026. Drive times are approximate and depend on weather and traffic.

The car is arranged through authorized local providers: a winter-equipped SUV for up to five with ski luggage, or a Sprinter for up to twelve; child and booster seats on request; the price confirmed before anything is booked. Send the date and the group; we confirm the vehicle, the route for that day and the price.
Child seats on request; ski school drop-off at one mountain, parents to another.
Pair it with ski valet so the skis are waiting at the base.
The same car at last chair and to dinner.
Yes, RFTA runs free buses between the four mountains in winter.
From $210 an hour, three-hour minimum.

The car, timed to the day; the house ready when you arrive.
A car and driver on call for dinner and the night out, so nobody hunts for a taxi at midnight.
We watch the flight from the moment it leaves. If it's on time, a driver is waiting, and wherever you are staying knows you are on your way. If it diverts to Eagle or cancels, the car, the bags and the house all move with it, and you hear from us before you have to ask.
