I'm interested in a home poker game in Basalt or C'dale. Hold 'em, Omaha, stud, whatever. Prefer $100 or less buy-in. Anyone know of an existing game or otherwise interested? I was in a game for 15 or so years that ended with covid...

My friend has a $2200 room credit with the viceroy in snowmass that he will not be able to use. He is willing to let it go for $1,200. Please reach out if interested. Can meet face to face in aspen or however preferred.

The death of Glenwood feeling like a small town isn't it's growing population, but it's poor city design. With 7 Lanes of Pavement through key stretches, it encourages driving and sprawl. So the town gets larger in size out of proportion to numbers. The more people who drive through town, the bigger it feels, the more disconnected we are from each other.

If we actually want to solve this problem, and we care about the environment like we say we do, we need to encourage density of housing and business options. Both of which encourage more self sustaining economics that are less tourist driven, which in turn would make it easier to absorb the new tourism Glenwood would attract for its small town, walkable charm.

Improving the public transit to make it more convenient than driving, and improving walkable density spaces would improve the cities economics. Both by reducing road maintenance expenditures, and that walkable core business districts generate more revemue since pedestrians buy things and cars don't.

If we want Glenwood to feel small again, it can't remain separated by cars, giving them the priority over people while spending large sums of money to make bandaids for bad urban design such as the 27th St underpass.

Does anyone know where you could do an intro to uphilling class or private instruction? It looks like aspen expeditions only does adventures for people who already know what they're doing- I've never done it and hoping to learn!

Hi everyone - just noticed xgames tix are sold out and I was late to buying them. Anyone selling?

Hi all! I was wondering if someone could tell me what the best option for ride shares in the valley is since I don't have access to a car? I'm visiting from out of town and looking to travel from Silt to Carbondale in the afternoon on December 26 (next Thursday) and back again. Just visiting some folks for a few hours. It looks like Uber has become a thing in the valley, but I wasn't sure how reliable they would be.

Also, if this is not realistic and public transportation is the best option let me know.

Thank you!

Have family visiting over the holidays and want to take my niece to a winter wonderland(shes 6). Any rec’s are appreciated!

I was blessed with some lift tickets to Snowmass in February and I am looking for some affordable accommodations but not having much luck. Do you guys have any recommendations? I am coming with 4-5 friends, all of us in our 30s so we’re not looking to get rowdy or anything like that.

Are there any public fully-fenced dog parks anywhere in the Valley?

If you have a condo/apartment and switch between snow and other tires, where do you store your other set of tires/wheels? Also, is there a tire shop you recommend? Thanks for your help!

Hi, I'm looking at lots of land outside Basalt, hoping to buy and then build a house, but understand this may take 3-5 years with permitting + construction. Have heard horror stories from friends in the area so setting expectations very slow.

I'd love any recommendations for good real estate agents who you may have worked with on lots of land, that had good development/zoning knowledge.

Hi, we’re visiting from out of town for Thanksgiving. We have our 2.5 year old daughter with us and I was wondering where some good places local parents take their kids this time of year? I’m also looking for places where she can really run around and get tired but also open to fun kids activities. She has appropriate clothing for this weather as well. Thank you!

My family has been having some issues with them working with our insurance to get things covered that should be covered, does anyone else have issues like this with our hospital?

Does anyone have a son/daughter or know anyone who recently took a driving test through Aspen high?

If so, how was theexperience?

Looking for any tips, insights, typical course routes, etc before signing up.

The old Safeway Building would be a great place for some mixed use residential business fronts and apartments. With the housing issue in the valley, the apartments would fill, which would create a captive audience for a restaurant, convenience store, and maybe another business or two. It's prime location with access to transit, the rec path, and more.

With the public transit access, there is stronger incentive for the city to allow less parking than normal, reducing the amount of non-income generating space. All of this making it a stronger financial prospect for any developer. It would also reduce the amount of urban sprawl that is going on.

You could even do the same thing with the old Carbondale City Market. It's detached from the other buildings in that plaza, and would again provide new business to those that exist already.

Potentially dumb question, but what airport makes the most sense to travel out of if we are moving to Glenwood Springs? I know Eagle and Aspen are closer, but I’m assuming smaller and potentially more expensive?

Is the best bet Denver? And if so, are there any shuttle or train services worth checking out?

TIA!

MacBook Repair

My MacBook Air stopped working last night and now won't turn on/charge. Apple want to charge me 500 bucks to send in to be repaired. Anyone now somewhere in the valley that can fix this for a more reasonable cost?

Hi all, was wondering if anyone has any general guidance as to what the general commute time is to Aspen from Glenwood Springs during the Christmas to New Years holiday time period? I know weather is the biggest factor, but am curious if there is usually a bunch of “holiday traffic”?

Will be visiting some family who have a home on Snowmass Golf Course, and am trying to decide how far away is too far away to commute daily for visiting them and skiing, walking town, etc.

TIA!

Hey there! My fiancée has lived in this area his whole life and when we get married I’m uprooting from Orlando FL and heading all the way up there with my dog! However the price difference in literally everything has me a little nervous. I’m a vet tech so before I get a job there I’m going to have to retake my exam again to be certified, so it’ll be a minute before I can pick up a job of the same caliber I’m at now. I really would love to find a 1bed 1bath place that we can live in that won’t drain all my puny Florida money within two months. Any ideas of places that aren’t too expensive? Anything would help. :)

Hey all, as the title explains I’m (M21) moving to roaring fork in a couple weeks. Will I have a hard time meeting friends? What’s the dating scene like? Any other information is also really appreciated thanks!

Hey guys, Colorado couple looking for a room or apartment for rent starting November. Both been in the valley for years just had to take time away for family. Please let me know if anyone has anything!

EDIT: Anywhere in the valley from Aspen down to Carbondale would be ideal. Looking for rent no more expensive than $2400.

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
