January 16 to January 23, 2027

Trip Leader:
Leah Bruin
We’re heading to Aspen/Snowmass for a full 7-day trip, January 16–24, 2027. This is going to be such a fun week.
We’ll be staying slope-side at The Crestwood in Snowmass Village, so yes, true ski-in/ski-out.
This trip is for everyone, whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, advanced, even if you don’t ski at all! There’s always someone to ski with at your level, and honestly, these trips have become just as fun off the slopes as they are on them.
If you’ve been on one of my trips before, you already know the overall vibe…great people, lots of laughs, some serious skiing mixed in with après ski, group dinners, and normally a few “that escalated quickly” evenings. We’ll also mix in something a little adventurous. Last year’s group went all in on snowmobiling and had an absolute blast! I’ve got a few fun ideas up my sleeve again this year, I just haven’t decided exactly what yet. But I’m open to suggestions and ideas. If you haven’t been on one of my trips yet… this is a great one to start with.
Why This Trip is So Good?
Slope-side, ski-in/ski-out at The Crestwood. This is one of the biggest perks of the entire trip. No lugging skis, no long walks in boots, just step outside and you’re on the mountain. At the end of the day, ski right back in, change, and head straight to the hot tub or après. It doesn’t get much easier than this!
Four mountains, one trip!
With the Aspen/Snowmass lift ticket, you’ll have access to Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk. Each one has its own personality, so you can mix it up throughout the week and never get bored.
Super easy travel
We fly directly into Aspen Airport, which is just minutes from Snowmass. No long bus rides or complicated logistics, this is about as easy as a ski trip gets.
A great group of people to ski (and hang out) with!
We’ll have all ability levels on this trip, so no matter where you fall, you’ll always have someone to ski with. And quite honestly, it's the people are what make these trips so much fun, this is a really social and welcoming group.
Planned… but not overloaded, choose to do only what you want to do
We’ll have a welcome reception, a group dinner, and plenty of optional meet-ups for lunches, après ski and more. Join in as much or as little as you want, there’s no pressure, just lots of options.
More than just skiing
Even if you don’t ski every day (or at all), there’s plenty to do… relax at the pool or hot tubs, explore the village, or jump in on one of the optional group outings. These trips have are just as much fun off the slopes as they are on the slopes.
What’s Included
• 7 nights lodging at The Crestwood (slope-side, ski-in/ski-out inSnowmass Village)
• Transportation to and from Aspen Airport
• Daily housekeeping and free Wi-Fi
• Access to all Crestwood amenities (heated pool, hot tubs, fitness center, steam room)
• Welcome reception to kick off the week
• One group dinner with the entire group
• Optional daily meet-ups for lunch and après ski
• Organized group coordination throughout the trip (so you’re never on your own, unless you want to be)
*** Important *** IKON Pass vs. Aspen/Snowmass Lift Tickets
This part can be a little confusing this year, so here’s a simple explanation:
• The IKON Base Pass is only good for 5 days at Snowmass and does not include access to Aspen, Aspen Highlands, or Buttermilk. It also has a blackout date on Sunday, January 17 (during our trip).
• The Full IKON Pass gives you broader access and is the better option if you’re planning to go on both or multiple ski trips.
• If you’re only doing the Snowmass trip, your best option is to purchase the Aspen/Snowmass lift tickets. It’s a much better deal than the IKON pass. We will be offering group Aspen/Snowmass lift tickets that give you access to all four mountains. These can be purchased when you sign up for the trip. Plus there’s a Senior discount for those 65 and over.
If you’re not sure what’s best for you, just ask, I’m happy to help you figure it out.
Feel free to reach out to me, Donna or Greg for help, we understand how confusing it is and we want to help.
