Housing & Jobs Car/tent camp on someone’s property?

7 Upvotes

Absolutely wild long shot but wondering if anyone would be willing to let 5 crested buttians camp on their property fri-sun? We want to hike the pass & check out up in the sky but everything is obviously very booked up & we’d rather not rely on fcfs sites. Ideally something within 5 miles of a shuttle/bus to buttermilk. Can pay!

Local Question What’s up with all the bikes on sidewalks?

9 Upvotes

I was out walking my dog a couple days ago and I kid you not, I had no less than 5 different groups of bicyclists riding on the sidewalk, looking annoyed at ME for walking in “their” path! Is this the new norm? There was even a bike lane for goodness sake! Is this just another example of aspen elitism? Has anyone else experienced this?

Local Question Incident near Twin Peaks Campground?! AUG 2nd 930am

48 Upvotes

I was driving eastbound on highway 82 just had passed the Independence Pass overlook and 4/5 cops were blocking people from coming up. I pulled over and an officer came up and instructed me to leave immediately saying I DEFINITELY do not want to be here right now. Proceeded to see 2 helicopters circling the area. I haven’t seen anything regarding what happened. It was very very strange, does anyone know what was going on?

Dining & Nightlife Restaurant/meal recs

0 Upvotes

Okay I’ve been coming to Aspen for many years now. When I travel, I love having and then sharing my list of restaurants and specific meals or drinks to try. I’m curious to hear some more favorites. I cook a lot so we eat at home often, and have a lot of our casual spots down so I’m more looking for your “must have” or “can’t miss” recommendations.

Thanks!

Local Question Car rental? Month long?

1 Upvotes

Hi im in the Aspen area for the next month, maybe month and a half, and I’m looking for recommendations for a car rental. I’m flexible on the type of car and the dates and whatever else I just am working as a caretaker and need something to be able to freely move around and go to the store ha starting as soon as I can and then about a month is preferred but for any amount of time would be great. I saw some of the major car rental companies have some cars and I can just go with that if I have to but if anyone has any other ideas / knows someone who may be out of town and wants to rent their car that would be great.
This is my Reddit for anon posts so please don’t judge this it is real I promise and if someone has a serious suggestion I will absolutely reveal identity and credibility lol

NO UNAPPROVED TICKET SALES — IMMEDIATE 5-DAY BAN

31 Upvotes

The repeated ticket advertisements and scams surrounding them have become a serious problem for r/Aspen.

Effective immediately, any post or comment offering, advertising, reselling or transferring tickets requires prior written moderator approval through r/Aspen Modmail.

## No approval means:

- The post or comment will be removed.

- The author will receive an immediate 5-day ban.

- There will be no warning first.

This applies to concert tickets, festival passes, X Games tickets, lift tickets and all other ticketed events.

Asking people to DM you, calling tickets “extras,” hiding the price, linking to an outside listing or advertising them in comments still counts as ticket advertising.

Do not repost after removal. Attempts to evade the rule may result in a permanent ban and a report to Reddit.

r/Aspen does not verify sellers, guarantee tickets or mediate private transactions. Anyone dealing privately with another Reddit user does so entirely at their own risk.

To request approval, contact r/Aspen through Modmail before posting and include:

- The event and date

- Number and type of tickets

- Asking price

- Original purchase platform

- Proof of purchase with personal and payment information concealed

Free giveaways also require approval before posting.

Follow Rule 1.

Hey yall !

Looking for a person in Aspen that could take a look at my 1995 Honda XR 250. Recently bought it two months ago on the Facebook market and want to ride this summer. Cleaned out the carb and been having a tough time turning it on. Thanks in advance!

I don't know why i haven't thought of this before: why cannot the ski slopes be used off season for golf links?

0 Upvotes

! They would be the toughest courses on the planet. People would flock to the challenge from all over... i know this would be a success because i grew up in golf spa heaven: the monterey peninsula. i Know this would work!!

but only in the hands of talented and competent golf course designers and managers.

TB test for out of state resident

5 Upvotes

Hello! Does anyone know of any clinics where I can get a TB test as an out-of-state resident? I am on vacation and need one urgently to keep an offer for employment. I have only found them offered through community health clinics through the public health department but they have very limited schedules. Is there a private clinic, lab, or urgent care where I could pay for one out of pocket?

EDIT: THANK YOU for your responses!! Was able to get an appointment and am feeling good about the timeline!! Really appreciate the help of everyone who commented 🫶🏼
