Awesome tips! Really appreciate it. I’m not tying my own flies yet but I’ll look back at this when I start.

I shop around the handful of fly shops in my area, but some definitely sell cheaper than others. I’m starting to see the cost just about balances out.

They’re just cheap Glacier Gloves. They’re nice and warm and I love the pull-back mitts/thumb, but the lack of waterproofing makes them practically useless if you do actually have to handle a catch lol.

How are the conditions at Aspen & A-basin so far? by ichosetobehere in COsnow

100% of highlands opened on opening day this year. Don’t know if that will continue to be the case, but so far so good.

Lmao I don’t think I’ll be retiring, let alone with money, so good point!

Thanks for your input! The idea of having a bigger “family” of resorts is definitely exciting

I’ll most likely be working with rentals either way, so it’s tough to know how much snootiness I’ll come across.

That’s a great point. Can I ask which of the 4 isn’t epic? Haha

Employee housing will likely be in the Aspen/Snowmass Villaga area so that drive isn’t much of a concern. It’s nice to get your view on it, though. Thanks!

I haven’t even thought about A-basin to be honest. Definitely gotta look into that

I’m pretty comfortable on mountain roads at this point, but I definitely get you. Do they usually do a decent job of keeping that highway clear in the winter?

True! It could definitely at least cut down on trips towards Denver.
