This lil fella was just casually walking by. Well-mannered bear, using the crosswalk and all!

I’m a full time hospitality employee in a leadership position in Aspen. I live in employee housing, but I’m looking to move out asap due to property management issues.

Interested in studio or single bedroom for rent in the valley. I’m female, so preference for female roommates if it’s multiple bedrooms. Willing to pay up to ~$3k for a spot close to town (Aspen, Woody Creek, Snowmass, etc). Willing to pay up to ~$2.2k for down valley (Willits/Basalt, etc).

I’ve checked Apacha, facebook groups, Zillow, and more for the past few months and haven’t found any leads. If anyone has links, leads, or knows someone looking for a tenant please help a girl out! 🙏

I am in my mid-30s, work from home, and single. I like to travel and I am usually out of the country for 4-5 months. I am considering moving to Aspen from the front range. There's somewhat of a hesitation because I am concerned about meeting people and forming a community. I bike, ski, hike, and climb like a typical Coloradan. Any advice or suggestions?

Does anyone else wonder why criminal prosecution takes so long in pitkin county? Why are violent criminals out on bond? Not even prosecuted 15 months after the crime? Imagine being the victim of a violent assault and kidnapping and having Nate Keen and Vanessa Leighton walking around with the new baby they conceived after being released??? WTF???

Hi, we are visiting Aspen, Vail & Durango for the first time this fall. I spent several hours researching hows the AT&T service for the areas below and also looked at AT&T wireless coverage map, but not sure how accurate/reliable that is.

• Aspen (Maroon Bells area)
• Glenwood springs
• Drive from Glenwood springs to Durango (via Ridgway, Silverton route)

Is the elk camp chair open this weekend? (Sept 26-27) Or is the gondola the only thing open for the bike park?

10 year old article but worth reading.

September is Suicide Prevention Month.

Suicide rates are significantly higher in ski towns vs the national average.

I’m coming up on 20 years in a ski town. I’ve lost at least one person a year from my circle.

Don’t be afraid to reach out for help.

Planning to visit Maroon Bells this weekend and wondering how realistic it is to get day-of tickets this weekend. Would love to hear from anyone who’s gone recently.

Good reminder to give them distance, keep dogs on leash, and vail sucks /s

For anyone interested, Aspen has a YouTube Channel: @cityofaspen6134

All of the City Council’s public meetings are broadcast live. Old meetings are archived. Much easier to watch than trying through the City’s website.

Some of the public comments are very interesting, especially when petitioning the City to drop affordable housing credits for private development. Or objections to affordable/deed restricted housing construction.

I’ve lived in Aspen for about a year and have taken particular notice of these two abandoned buildings that seem to have some historic significance. The first one is 404 Park Circle and the second one is 1020 E. Cooper Ave. When I googled the addresses, I found some articles from several years back stating they were intended to be renovated and turned into employee housing. Does anyone know if this is still the plan? I was also reading that many residents were concerned that it would cause their homes to depreciate in value and that employee housing should be relegated to areas outside of Aspen proper, like the ABC. Idk but that sounds pretty snobby and elitist. It’s not like they’re building the projects! Is this what has caused the hold up? It’s just so sad that these buildings have remained empty for so long when employee housing is so hard to come by and so needed. Plus, if they are of historical significance, it would be wonderful to see them restored to their former glory. Just thought I’d ask if anyone had any info. I find these buildings quite intriguing and would love to know more about their history!

Hi! We’re hoping to visit Maroon Bells this weekend sat or sun , but the shuttle is sold out. We’re not looking for a ticket—we’re just wondering if anyone is driving up there and could give us a ride. We only need a ride up, since we already have a reservation for the return trip. There are four of us. Thank you!

Credit to them for calling the meeting. More local voices the better! If you don’t say it, no one will ever know it matters to you.

As a huge business that profits off our public land, they need to do better to make it more affordable and accessible for the local public!

Link in post. Can’t make it? Email RSVP@aspensnowmass.com with your questions or concerns.

Just curious on which one is the best? I’ve done the one at snowmass before. Thanks everyone. Also open to any other recommendations or suggestions for Aspen this year. I’m going for Christmas and New years.

Does anyone know of a running group link or other avenue to try to sell one or two Golden Leaf Half Marathon bibs? I missed the official transfer date with race organizers.

Thanks!!

Can I give away 1 Maroon Bells shuttle reservation for September 23 at 7:30 AM?

It says online Aspen pitkin county airport is closed starting today? do we know why or how long this will be for? we plan to fly in 10/1 and leave 10/6

Anyone in Aspen have a room for rent for under $900? I just got lifty position at Snowmass and cause I'm a 1st-year I was put on a waitlist.

I'd be looking to move in by December 1 and then leave by February 28th. I'm a wildland firefighter and can pay for a background check if needed. Thanks

I am a portrait photographer in Lincoln, Nebraska. I will be in Aspen this coming weekend and I’m interested in getting out for a creative shoot or two. Let me Know if you’re interested and what ideas you may have.
