ASPEN SNOWMASS SKI RESORT ACCOMMODATIONS
1. RENT A CONDO OR RENTAL HOUSE INSTEAD OF A
HOTEL ROOM. Aspen Snowmass condo prices run slightly
higher than hotel rooms, but over a week’s stay you’ll save big
on meal expenses. A family of four can easily save $25 or more
by eating breakfast at the condo and even more at lunch.
2. BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE CONDO
COST. Three and four bedroom town homes can be rented for
approximately the same cost as a nice one-bedroom condo.
Bring along friends or another family to split the accommodation
cost.
3. CONSIDER RENTING BY OWNER. Many Aspen Snowmass
condo owners rent “by owner”, meaning you’ll save an average
of 25%. This is the normal percentage charged by rental
management companies to “rent” individual condos. Plus,
many management companies are now tacking on additional
cleaning fees, extra deposits, etc. The downside to renting by
owner is that most do not accept credit cards and may not be
able to respond quickly to maintenance issues. There are
several reputable websites listing condos for rent by owner,
including www.vrbo.com and www.greatrentals.com.
ASPEN SNOWMASS SKI RESORT RESTAURANTS & DINING
4. DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Many Aspen
Snowmass restaurants offer two-for-one specials between this
time period. Check the local paper and the free newspapers for
special offers and coupons.
5. EAT OUT FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF DINNER. Most Aspen
Snowmass restaurants offer lunch specials at half the price of
their dinners. Also be aware the wait to get into restaurants at
night during the busy season can be quite long.
6. CHOOSE A HOTEL OFFERING FREE BREAKFAST-If you stay
in a hotel, chose one that offers free breakfast so you can fill up
before hitting the slopes.
