Skiing in Aspen!

It's October and winter is coming...even though it doesn't feel like it here in Southern California. I am so over this dreadful heat we have been having. Bring on the cold, i'm ready for sweater and boot season and some day trips to the mountains! Heck, we recently moved closer to the mountains so I am excited for the prospect of getting some snow out my front door. I am a chilly weather girl and I sure do miss watching the snowfall in Alaska. 

Even though I lived in Alaska and have had the opportunity to make the short trek to Mammoth or Big Bear for some winter skiing. I have never skied! I even visited Colorado once but it was during the summer in another life long ago. How fun would a Colorado ski vacation be?! I recently heard about Aspen Square in Aspen Colorado, one of the most famous ski resort towns. Offering full hotel services and amenities and located right across the base from Aspen Mountain, it is the idea place to enjoy a winter wonderland. 

Peak ski season is in December and often times harder to book your dream vacation or maybe you just want to skip the crowds and save some money. 

Booking a stay at Aspen Square during the off peak winter season has many advantages for a frugal traveler. 
* Early and late season rates can be as much as 50% lower than high season, for the same room type
* More rooms are available in the lower seasons, so even hard to book rooms like our one-bedrooms or three-bedrooms are more likely to be open for booking.
* Guests receive the same outstanding services and amenities as the high season guest
* Smaller crowds translates to shorter lift lines, easier access to restaurant and event tickets
* Pre-holiday stays allow guests to enjoy the festive ambiance without the crowds and costs associated with holiday rates and costs in town
* End of season snow is sometimes the best of the entire winter season, with longer ski days in late March and early April

So what are you waiting for, Aspen Mountain will be opening up next month for the ski season, book your vacation now!
