Here is a full flight from Grand Junction to Aspen, Colorado. We had the first snow of the season, and quite early too. The arrival was absolutely beautiful. On landing, we nearly took out some birds!

Awesome job Landing Shaun. Amazing how Aspen has changed since the 1970’s. We used to go there every summer and traveled all different ways back in the 70’s from NJ. Camped just outside of town for weeks on end. But always made it back to town for a few cold Coors at the Roma and Sheridan. If I recall the airport could only take small single engines. One day I hope to get back out there. Perhaps with Alerion. :) thanks for the trip and some great memories.

Awesome flight! I used to love flying into KASE when I was doing the 135 thing in a CJ3. Land 15, then take off 33 with a tail wind. Snowmass village is where we would stay, awesome during the summer with outdoor concerts going on. Still remember diverting to Rifle a few years ago when that Challenger crew balled it up there in Aspen trying to get in.

When I first became a 121 aircraft dispatcher, my first job was at a regional a long time ago and I did a ride in one of our BAe146s into ASE. The CA was one of our DEN check airmen and he was pointing out all of the landmarks as we flew our overhead break maneuver. I felt like I was looking up at people schlussing down the slopes as we were on our midfield break - the WX was like the day you filmed, calm, high thin overcast with a layer of SN on the ground. My favorite domestic Jumpseat...

I only flew into Aspen one time. I flew a Cessna 421B carrying 4 pax to go sling for a week. It was April, 1975. Snow banks both sides of the runway and the roads, but the runway was clear. It was so beautiful flying around the mountains and making my mostly straight in approach. The mountain that was on my left when attempting to make my final approach seemed awfully close to the aircraft, although it looked extremely close, in actuality it really wasn’t. My passengers were a little nervous, because they had never gone into Aspen in a medium sized twin. It is one of the most beautiful places I had ever flow into. I wouldn’t mind doing it a lot more.

I flew here once as a teenager to visit an older sibling who was working at Snowmass. I have no memory of the landing or view. Now I have it back. I was living in NY at the time and the culture shock was enormous. To give you an idea of how long ago it was, we were driving to the slope and stopped at a red light. Henry Fonda was in the cross walk.

I have been into Liberal city...I mean Aspen many times...mostly with a visual, but when you are approaching from the North and dealing with real IMC...your zero will pucker and you better have all your marbles stacked up vertically. If not then you are going to be a greasy spot on one of those hills. Aspen is beautiful, but one couldnt pay me enough to live there. What you should do sometime if you have time, is rent a motorcycle or a car and head out Aspen going South to Independence Pass. Once on top, go down the other side to Twin Lakes, then turn around and come back. Dont forget your camera. You get a good view from the plane, but nothing like being down there in the mountains. Fly safe.
