Very high demand
Aspen is a luxury skiing destination in Colorado that is always buzzing with wealthy tourists. The massive celebrity footfall and high demand have made it into an extremely expensive premium destination.
Ultra expensive lift tickets
One of the premium ski resorts in Aspen, the Aspen Snowmass has a record single-day lift tickets. Each ticket costs more than $250 during non-peak seasons. This has also driven up prices in other resorts in the area.
Pricey properties
Aspen has limited real estate properties, making accommodation extremely expensive. Booking a hotel at one of the resorts will set you back by $1,000 to over $5,000 each night, depending on the level of luxury you opt for.
High-end leisure activities
Aspen has marketed itself as more than a skiing destination. It has boutique shops that sell ridiculously expensive items and high-end restaurants where a meal can cost you a whole month's salary! If you plan a trip to Aspen, you have to take all of these costs into account...and it is going to pinch your pocket quite hard.
High operational costs
Aspen is a secluded spot where resources are scarce. To run a skii resort and other facilities, requires a hefty operational cost. From natural resources like water to other resources such as electronic equipment, everything is required in abundance and you guessed it, all of it comes at a great cost.
