Vail to Aspen Car Service for the Perfect X Games Day Trip
Vail and Aspen are the crown jewels of Colorado skiing, separated by roughly 100 miles of stunning, but challenging, mountain roads. During January, many of our clients choose to stay in Vail for its vast terrain and accessibility, but they don’t want to miss the historic 25th Anniversary of the X Games in Aspen.
The solution? A luxury day trip with Express Limo.
The “Ski Safari” Experience Imagine waking up in Vail, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and then stepping into a luxury SUV for a scenic drive through Glenwood Canyon to Aspen. You arrive at Buttermilk Mountain fresh and relaxed, ready to watch the Big Air finals or catch Alesso live in concert. After the event, instead of scrambling for a hotel room in sold-out Aspen, you relax in the back of your private car for the return journey to your Vail sanctuary.
Why Choose a Private Transfer? The drive from Vail to Aspen involves navigating Dowd Junction, Glenwood Canyon, and Highway 82. In January, weather conditions can change rapidly.
- Safety: Our drivers are experienced in winter mountain driving. We handle the icy roads and canyon winds so you don’t have to.
- Comfort: Our fleet is equipped with premium amenities, allowing you to decompress, make calls, or simply enjoy the view.
- Convenience: We offer door-to-door service from your Vail hotel or private residence directly to the X Games drop-off zone.
Perfect for Groups and Families If you are traveling with a group of friends or family, a private SUV or Sprinter van is often more economical and infinitely more comfortable than renting multiple cars or taking shared shuttles. You can keep your group together, manage your own schedule, and enjoy the flexibility of leaving whenever you choose.
Whether you are heading to Aspen for the sports, the music, or the nightlife, let Express Limo bridge the gap between these two legendary resorts.
