Yes, there is life in Aspen after winter! There is just as much fun and excitement, but without the clunky boots and layers of clothing!

Fourteen new and renovated dining and nightlife venues have opened in Aspen, along with seven new boutiques and art galleries.

Gray Line is a new luxury transportation service from Denver International Airport and Eagle County Airport, providing non-stop motor coach service to Aspen.

And The Gant Condominiums in Aspen offer A Home Away from Home. Perfect for upscale, yet economical vacations, with the privacy and comforts of home, and the amenities and services of a resort, tucked in fresh, cool mountain air. It's a great option for families, wedding guests in town for extended stays and family reunions, especially when a guest package is involved.

Guests can decide if they want to save money by cooking in the gourmet kitchens and enjoying an evening of quality time, or save on lodgings to afford the wonderful restaurants and entertainment, located mere minutes from the condos - and never far from the beautiful mountain peaks.

Condos provide separate spaces for entertainment, food preparation, dining and sleeping, unlike a hotel room, so the adults can stay up after the kids go to bed, without disturbing them.....or better yet: the kids can wake up early without disturbing the sleepy adults!

The Gant Condominiums are upscale affordable options in pricey Aspen.
