Yes! Good idea. (I also need to get on the stick and post some details...)It’s September, can we start a roll call?
Roll call thread is here: https://www.skitalk.com/threads/official-2022-national-gathering-roll-call.24278/

Sorry David! We both had the same thoughtAsk and you shall receive:
You know, I have been checking that thread, and the discussion of conditions is nudging me towards never ever wanting to ski in NE.Hey, the NE Gathering is open to anyone, including those from Utah and CO. They never show up though for some reason.
Way back in the late 60s there was an entertainer from NYC who spent a winter featured at a bar in Wilmington VT. near Mount Snow. He wrote a song called: "Vermont; It's a Poor Man's Colorado". He pretty much nailed it.You know, I have been checking that thread, and the discussion of conditions is nudging me towards never ever wanting to ski in NE.
No issues at all with getting a bus from anywhere in the the Snowmass village area to the other mountains. The busses to Ajax, Buttermilk, and Highlands don't stop at every stop on Carriage Way, but there will be one not too far away.Does anyone remember the route of the RFTA 4 Mountain Connector or have last years schedule saved? They currently don't have it on their website. I think my plan will be to stay in Snowmass Village, but I want to be sure to have easy access to the bus for travel to the other mountains. I'm looking at lodging along Carriage way, across from all the parking lots. I see bus stops all along it in Google Earth, but don't see a way to find out if it's for the 4 Mountain Connector.
I'm also looking for suggestions for traveling between Steamboat and Aspen after the gathering. Flying seems silly, but I don't see any shuttle services between the two resorts. As a last resort, I figure I can rent a car.
I think I have an old brochure from the last Aspen Gathering with all the routes. I'll look later.Does anyone remember the route of the RFTA 4 Mountain Connector or have last years schedule saved?

Pokolodi.Podoloki Lodge is just below the Snowmass bus terminal,
Yikes. Not the best memory.Pokolodi.
The lodge where I passed out and got sick, then my roomate got us the airport shuttle to the hospital ER. After we picked someone up at the airport. Vaguely remember that part as I’m lying across two seats. I remember the cold air as the door opened.
Agreed. Buses are very good.I've been to Aspen 3 times and I've never rented a car. in fact, the last time we were there we took the free bus back to the airport instead of getting a cab. I've never stayed near a bus stop (as opposed to a terminal) but it should work.
