Events Optional user flair is now available on r/Aspen

10 Upvotes

You can now add an optional user flair to show where you’re from or your connection to the Aspen.

Current options include Aspen, Snowmass, Basalt/Willits, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Seasonal Worker, Visitor and a few others.

User flair is completely optional — it’s just there to add a little context to conversations.

To add yours, open r/Aspen and use the Change User Flair option from the community menu/sidebar.

Let me know if I missed any obvious flairs or you think of one to add. Thanks!

NO UNAPPROVED TICKET SALES — IMMEDIATE 5-DAY BAN

32 Upvotes

The repeated ticket advertisements and scams surrounding them have become a serious problem for r/Aspen.

Effective immediately, any post or comment offering, advertising, reselling or transferring tickets requires prior written moderator approval through r/Aspen Modmail.

## No approval means:

- The post or comment will be removed.

- The author will receive an immediate 5-day ban.

- There will be no warning first.

This applies to concert tickets, festival passes, X Games tickets, lift tickets and all other ticketed events.

Asking people to DM you, calling tickets “extras,” hiding the price, linking to an outside listing or advertising them in comments still counts as ticket advertising.

Do not repost after removal. Attempts to evade the rule may result in a permanent ban and a report to Reddit.

r/Aspen does not verify sellers, guarantee tickets or mediate private transactions. Anyone dealing privately with another Reddit user does so entirely at their own risk.

To request approval, contact r/Aspen through Modmail before posting and include:

- The event and date

- Number and type of tickets

- Asking price

- Original purchase platform

- Proof of purchase with personal and payment information concealed

Free giveaways also require approval before posting.

Follow Rule 1.

Local Question No Valley Pass?! Go figure...

48 Upvotes

Aspen is so lame - nothing for locals anymore? Valley pass went from $550 for a 7 day to paying $1030 minus 30% for the same thing if you bought the Valley Pass last year? If not, you pay the same as anyone else.

Never mind that we are the reason that the entire Aspen Snowmass can survive in any way. I love the greedy elbow jabs I get from Ski Co every so often. So lame! Sunlight is fun anyway.

Local Question For absolute shame

92 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.

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 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?

11 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!
