Going skiing at aspen in feb. know of any good cheap place to stay with in a 45 min drive or so thank you paul

Answer 1

If you want real cheap, try camping in the National Forest outside of town. Rent a custom van for the trip and pick just about any trailhead. Chances are the rangers won't bust you.

I've done this outside of Winter Park and Steamboat...can't see why it wouldn't work near Aspen.

Answer 2

I don't know if it's possible to change your plans now but stay in Vail.  Stay in a hotel across the highway for next to nothing and your drive to the resort will be oh about 5 minutes tops.  The mountain is just as good as Aspen without the drive.

Answer 3

Please take me with you.

Answer 4

I always stay at the Pokolodi Lodge in Snowmass Village.  Walk out skiing at Snowmass, about 1/2 hour from Aspen.  There is a great shuttle service for the whole valley that will take you wherever you want to go.
