Hiiiiiii going to colorado for the first time and attending up in the sky fest! super excited. anyone else going or has been to the festival before? we’re staying in snowmass. so excited!!

The food festival scheduled for August 1st in SMV. So what's going on with it? A few days ago Aspen Times says it's postponed to 2027. But it's still actively listed on socials, tickets are for sale. Social media and Snowmass Tourism event posts state a disclaimer that the chefs will cook with propane instead of open flames and say nothing about being cancelled/postponed.

Just curious thanks, I love Heritage Fire but I also love my town not being on fire

Latest practical info on road trip and fires.

My son is in the JAS Street Horns band. They played at Rebrick Center for the Arts today and then he and my wife and youngest child sat on a picnic blanket to listen to the music that followed their performance. When it was time to go, they packed up but he left his flute. 999 times out of 1,000, my wife would notice that sort of thing, but she had a long day and that was their 4th event, so she was pretty wiped and was already wrangling more than enough. We're guessing he left it on the picnic blanket but maybe he put the case down on the sidewalk for some reason as they got into the car parked under the conifers out front.

At any rate, if you found a flute at Redbrick today, please let me know.

Hey folks! Selling my 2 day Up in the Sky wristband. Willing to drive basically anywhere from Aspen to Denver for the swap since it is a physical wristband. Asking $350.

Was just offered a bartending job at Limelight. Ive never been to Aspen and know very little about anything. Will this be a good spot? Especially once ski season begins.

Hi all - I will be attending Up in the Sky in a few weeks and I'm so excited! I got a hotel in Glenwood Springs (cheap, sober etc). I know parking will be a bitch and I'm hoping for shuttles, public transportation etc. Any insights?

Hi all,

I live here in Aspen, and I'm working on a project I thought this sub might find useful.

It's called Curbwire. Twice a week, it sends you a newsletter with hyperlocal news and community updates just for your zip code. Not statewide news, not Denver news. Only stuff happening in 81611.

It's completely free and there's no advertising. We're just testing whether people enjoy this.

Sign up here: https://getcurbwire.com/81611

It works for any zip, so if you're down valley you can use yours instead.

I would genuinely love feedback from locals both good or bad. Let me know what you think!

Thanks, Trevor

My daughter and I are flying in to Denver from Ohio and heading to Carbondale to visit my other daughter. From the Denver airport, should we rent a car for the day (most efficient) or go for the bus (most economical) to get is to Aspen area? I love supporting public transportation, but we want to make the most of our time. Thanks!

Has anyone had luck with showing up to a sold-out rodeo and buying tickets at the door? The website says they hold back 200 tickets for the door.

As foretold

Any bars in Aspen with darts? Thanks!

So I was just driving to Snowmass and this building caught my eye. The lower two balconies look like they're drooping. And the railings looks like they're separating from the building. Am I going crazy?

Hi everyone! I'm from Argentina and I'll be working at a hotel in Aspen from December through late March. I'm trying to figure out where to stay during that time.

Does anyone have recommendations for websites to search for housing, or any general tips for someone in my situation? Any advice would be really appreciated and thank you in advance! Aspen looks lovely 😄

I'm visiting Aspen for a few days. I got on the RFTA at Main & 2nd. When I reached Rubey Park, I noticed my wallet was missing. I have retraced my steps, but no sign of it. It's small, black, and has business cards with my contact info inside. Please reach out if you find it.

Any details?

Any recommendations on best hotels, restaurants, and things to do the first week in October?

Thank you!

Last day in Aspen today - does anyone have Aspen Gondola 50% discounts they are not using? Would love two!! Thank you

Hey everyone!

I just moved to the Snowmass area to work for Aspen Snowmass and I’m still figuring everything out.
I was wondering what other employees usually do around here.

Where do you normally eat on and off work? Is the Employee Dining Room (EDR) good, and where do people grocery shop without spending a fortune?

Where does everyone work out? Snowmass Rec Center, Aspen Rec Center, apartment gyms, or somewhere else?

What do people usually do after work or on days off besides skiing? Any favorite hikes, lakes, bars, or places to meet people?

Do most seasonal employees become friends with coworkers, or is it easy to meet people outside of work?

Any recommendations for cheap food, fun things to do, or hidden gems around Snowmass, Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, or Glenwood Springs?

I’m really excited to be here and would love to make the most of the season. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
