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.

## How a ski day works

- **By the hour**: From $210 an hour, three-hour minimum; car and driver on call, waiting included.
- **The four mountains**: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass; the driver drops at the base and collects when you call.
- **Free alternative**: RFTA's free winter buses run between all four mountains.

## A car between the mountains (what Aspen Privé arranges)

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](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=evening-driver&from=aspen-ski-day-driver&origin=ski-day); we confirm the vehicle, the route for that day and the price.

- **With children**: Child seats on request; ski school drop-off at one mountain, parents to another.
- **Gear**: Pair it with [ski valet](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-ski-valet/) so the skis are waiting at the base.
