I have been traveling around Colorado and parts of Wyoming this week, not as a business related trip but because I am taking my family around sightseeing. It hasn’t been in a private aircraft or a business jet but more along the lines of a family minivan. I wouldn’t mind showing the family all of Colorado and Wyoming in a corporate jet so if you want to loan me yours for a the rest of the summer feel free.
I was looking at the airport in and around Vail Colorado and wondered about how they service the world of corporate jets and business jets. I grew up in the mountain town of Vail Colorado in the late 60’s and early 70’s when my father helped work on the Interstate that runs through the Vail valley area. My grandparents actually owned 65 acres in West Vail at that time and I can remember when they sold the property in the early 70’s. I don’t have the heart to tell them now what they particular tract of land sells for in present dollars.
Vail, Colorado, has a great airport at Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) and it can handle most needs and the folks at Vail Valley Jet Center can help you with travel.
We passed through near Aspen, Colorado and that is the world of the celebrities that visit there and you can see a Hollywood celebrity there almost anytime of the year but mostly while ski season is at its peak. I worked in Aspen during college and I can tell you that it has its share of luxury jets landing at that airport.
I also made our way through Steamboat Springs, Colorado on the return trip and wondered about its airport and how it caters to the world of private and corporate jets. They have Bob Adams Field (KSBS) in Steamboat Springs.
All of these mountain towns have a simple thing in common, they are ski towns. They also have their share of visitors that have their own luxuries like private or corporate jets. They also have airports that can service these types of aircraft and it makes it easy for high dollar clients to vacation there. I love Colorado and their mountain towns. Perhaps you could spend some time there, and if you do take your jet and be in and out easily.
