All 4 mountains offer a way for you to not have to lug your heavy equipment back to your hotel every night. You can check your equipment at the end of the day at the bottom of one mountain, pay $3, and find it waiting for you at another the next morning.

Equipment: Aspen ski areas are renowned for Customer service. At all four areas you can get free postcards and postage available at all ticket offices and a huge cadre of volunteer"ski ambassadors" who give complimentary mountain tours and answer questions and more services.

Updated Apr 7, 2004

Address: At the bases there are customer service areas.
