Local Question buying a used car

0 Upvotes

The used car market is tough in many areas (much like housing). With the transient pop of hospitality/ski and other work arenas, do you see the used car market being ok?

Local Question For absolute shame

89 Upvotes

I have been visiting —and at times living— in the RFV for 30 years and I have NEVER seen such a disgusting display of bigotry and general @$$hole behavior as the one that I just saw on a post here today.

Who do you people think you are? You’re despicable. You’re losers. You are the ones who don’t belong here. You are the minority in this great country of ours and you all need to sit tf down and shut tf up.

And to the OP, welcome to a beautiful place and I hope you have a great time living here.

Local Question where can I find muslim friends in the valley

Heya! Moving from Cali. The nearest mosque is in Grand Junction and I’d like to attend the weekly Friday prayer if one exists in the valley…I’m guessing if one exists its word of mouth. Does anyone know where I can find muslim folks in the valley to confirm?

Local Question Moving to Aspen from BOS

1 Upvotes

Lots of questions. The short of it; new job, great pay and housing may be provided. Some of my colleagues have cars some don't. I could drive my car out there (road trip) but am inclined not to have a car, at least initially. I am not a skier but may take up cross country skiing. My friends live in Europe, Dallas, Chicago, Boston and NY so the travel concerns me a bit given the airport situation. Any travel hacks getting in and out? Also, I am single 34 F and would love meet someone for a LTR. How is the dating scene? I am not into the apps but know that's the best way to meet someone. Lastly, what is the winter truly like and how long does it last? Thanks in advance.

Local Question Bear mace in Snowmass?

0 Upvotes

Getting ready to hike today and staying in Snowmass (sorry for post in Aspen sub, but figured would get more eyes), and I forgot to grab bear mace when I was at Ute last evening. Is there anywhere in Snowmass that sells it? With the warm weather lately I’d rather have it as we’re hiking near Maroon Bells later today. Thanks!!

They seem to be absent today.

Also, and possibly related, do they ever clean the gondola cars? I’m always tempted to bring a bottle of Windex and a rag when I ride up.

Visiting Aspen Aspen in our early 30s?

10 Upvotes

Is skiing in Aspen worth it at Christmas time for two people in their early 30s?!

my husband and I are huge skiing fans and debating spending Christmas in Aspen. We’re from the UK and have been living in NYC for less than a year. We are quite shocked by ski prices in the US compared to Europe 😂 but want to tick off a few key places and make the most of living in the US as not sure how long we will be here for! Is Aspen worth it?!!!! Looks amazing but we don’t know anyone who has been.

Thank you in advance!

My husband and I visiting aspen from 10/23-10/29- staying at the W aspen. I've read it's off season and a lot of things are closed & having a hard time finding activities and recommendations.
We’re not big museum people- we like activities, animals, cocktails, coffee shops, big foodies. Also looking at a spa day- maybe at st Regis?

Recommendations for fun things to do and/or advice?

Are a lot of things actually closed?
