Myers was my high school principal 20 years after he lived in Carbondale.

I'm working on a documentary about him and I'd like to talk to people who have stories about him. (I've done 17 interviews so far.)

I'm not ready to publicly announce the project yet so I'm not revealing my identity at this time, but if we talk in private I'm happy to tell you who I am.

If you have something to share, or even just a suggestion, feel free to contact me here or at stevemyersproject.org

I'm living in Snowmass Village and am a huge nerd and would love to either play Dungeons a d Dragons or mini war games but I can't seem to find any stores.

Hey gang, I am reaching out to any property/estate managers/business owners. Specifically offering services in the weekly checks and concierge. I am looking for a little guidance for starting a business in a different state. Please PM me

Hi,

Long time local here and have heard of a mysterious fountain up ruedi that has drinkable water. I can easily get water from my tap but love the forging mentality anytime I go up to fish. Does anyone have any inside information on this. If so please PM me as to keep it private. Thanks in advance

My 20 year old kid wants to ride an e-bike from Aspen to Crystal Mill as a day trip. It’s 120 miles round trip. I said it’s crazy. He would need to carry 2 extra batteries along with a pack for food and water. He said I’m an idiot. Who is right?

I've been nerding out over transit for various reasons lately. One of the things the valley seems to be missing is transit to the places people want to be, reducing last mile travel. A lot of the BRT stops are not really convenient for night life, or anything other than serving Aspen from Park and Rides and almost dense housing.

The thought occured to me that a second BRT route that runs more to the city cores. Largely so that the BRT serves Glenwood and Carbondale in more than just sending people out of these two towns from Park and Rides. The stops that make sense to be for a CBRT are:

Glenwood Shopping Mall Glenwood Train Station Carbondale 6th & Main El Jebel Willits Downtown Basalt Intercept ABC Ruby

The shopping mall due to the new density apartments, library, and shopping. (You could run special routes to get to the West Glenwood Park and Ride to time with the BusStang.) The Train Station because it's right at the Glenwood Core of social activity, and to help connect to transit out of the valley. Carbondale 6th & Main also for the access to the more walkable spaces of Carbondale. El Jebel and Willits due to the density and shopping available. Downtown Basalt to improve access and walkability with the new parking. Intercept to connect with Snowmass and that it is a major transit hub. ABC for airport and airport tourism, and Ruby to help people get from Aspen to Downvalley.

This would be a longer ride time than the current BRT, but one that serves the middle of each town far better. One that would make it a lot easier to chose to take the bus to go to evening events and gatherings than your car, especially if it's head times were more frequent in the evening vs typical commuter hours.

My initial thoughts were to hit secondary Park and Rides such as Catherine Store and Two Rivers. And these should have more access as well as commerce opportunities to make these stops more convenient. But the CBRT seems like it would be more self sustaining, and could run on the half hour, opposite of the current evening BRT schedule. This way there is more coverage to these areas to help bring commerce to these towns, and make it easier to not suffer the shuffle of HWY 82 during commuter hours by running focused commuter traffic schedules as well.

Current SkiCo employee leaving soon to go back to college, need someone to take over my lease for mid September until the end of October in Snowmass Village. Please dm me if you are interested or k ow anyone looking for a place to live for a bit

Hey y'all I am looking at possibly starting up Service in Utah. I lived in the Valley for a few years and know there is obviously a big need for estate management. Is there anyone that is a Owner or Operator for these services that is willing to chat about some basics?

I'm curious as to why there are not evening BRT stops at the Glenwood 8th and Pitkin Ave stop. It would seem like getting people from Up Valley to Glenwoods Walkable Core, and back, would be a trip generator. Yet every time I go down there, I wind up having to transfer buses in order to get to that space or deciding to drive.

I also wonder if there is interest in having a more frequent train service to/from Grand Junction and Glenwood than the current once daily. My thoughts are two fold: if we can easily get to Grand Junction, the airport is only a few miles away from the train station. Currently it does take half an hour on public transit (15 minute ride hail) to get to the airport, but with enough use it would make sense for GJ to have a BRT between the airport and the train station for this traffic. The GJ Airport is more reliable, and cheaper by ticket cost than ASE. My hope is that this would also help bring airfare prices in GJ down closer to Denver prices.

The second thought would be to get commuter stations in New Castle, Rifle, Parachute, and Palisades. With 4 or 5 trips during peak commuter hours, and faster rolling stock than Amtrak runs (trackage permitting), this could make commuting to work up valley far easier. Especially if there was an express bus, or BRT that connected Union Station in Glenwood to the rest of the system. This would also help fund the route to Grand Junction in order to make this a more viable airport for RFV residents, and any trackage upgrades that would be needed to make this trip more reliable and faster.

Thank you so much!

Hey everyone, my radiator broke while I was traveling through the area last night near Glenwood Springs. I am broke and can't afford a new radiator or lodging. I have basic camping gear that can get me by, but I need to make money for a new radiator and food for the week or so it will take to be shipped to the AutoZone.

Does anyone need any help over the weekend or tonight? I have steeltoe work boots and cougar paws.I can work outside in any weather. I am good with computers. I am college educated.

I also have my gaming computer with me that I am willing to sell. I can provide the specs if you might be interested.

Anyone know where to play adult soccer in the area? Just moved here- would love some recs. Thanks!

Hey friends, headed out to my buddies place in Basalt in a few weeks and was wondering if there were any good alpine lakes around for some trout fishing.

Not looking for anyone’s secret spot, just some suggestions on how to identify/get to one for a day trip.

Thanks all!

Did anyone go to Heritage Fire festival in Snowmass? Looking for reviews or impressions if it was worth it?

(Already posted on swap etc just figured I’d drop this here as well)

I’ve got a 500sqft basement with a private bathroom at my house in El Jebel that is opening up at the start of August. If anyone knows someone cool looking for housing send me a message and we can chat!

Moving from the east coast and recently accepted a job near Aspen. Looking to try and live no further up the valley than Glenwood Springs to try and keep the total commute time to work low(ish).

The only places I can seem to find that accept pets are the "luxury" apartment buildings that are pushing the very limit of my budget. (Like Seriously who needs a ski tuning shop in your apartment building?).

I get the housing market is competitive but am I missing something? I can't find ANYTHING that accepts cats, only the odd ball dogs only rental.

Please help a brotha out and point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I will be camping in Carbondale from Friday to Monday and really would love to float my lazy butt down a river/creek. Are there any places in/around Carbondale where I could do so? Also, any must see or do things during my stay there?

We are here just for the summer to work a seasonal job in Aspen. We are hoping for a short commute to Aspen and a place to park our tiny home. We are totally off-grid and self contained, just looking for a flat, beautiful place to park.
