Anesthesia Seminars - Aspen

Transportation to the Aspen - Snowmass Area

When flying to attend the Aspen Anesthesia Conference there are three destination airports that are commonly used by our attendees:

1. Aspen Airport

Aspen is now served by United and Frontier Airlines only, so it's more important than ever to book your airfare early to get the best rates and help ensure availability! Most United flights require a transfer in Denver, but there are direct flights from LA, San Francisco, Chicago, and Houston. Winter storms can delay arrivals & departures, but that is less of a problem since the airport systems have been upgraded. Most Hotels / Condos offer courtesy shuttle transportation to / from the Aspen airport, making this a convenient option. A free transportation system in the area allows the option of not renting a car.

AVIS offers discounted rates for those of our group arriving in Aspen desiring a rental car. Full size sedan: Reg. $324/wk is $199/wk; 4WD:Reg. $744/wk is $299/wk. Make reservations in advance by calling 970-925-2355 (fax is 970-920-7784). Identify yourself as attending the Aspen Anesthesia seminar, and quote the above rates. If any difficulty, ask to speak with the manager, Mr. Jordan Sutton. You must identify yourself as attending the Aspen Anesthesia seminar to obtain the above rates. Taxis are available at the airport.

Eagle/Vail is 70 miles from Aspen / Snowmass (about a 1 1/2 hour drive), and is served by most major airlines. It is in a large valley and not as commonly affected by storms. This airport is served by larger wide body jets.
