Do you really need to make a reservation before arriving?
Yes—the equipment is prepared in advance according to your size and skill level. Without a prior reservation, you risk arriving and finding that your size is no longer available. You pay only part online to secure it; the rest is paid in the store when you pick it up.

Is it worth booking with CaranvaSports instead of directly with the resort?
Is it worth booking with CaranvaSports instead of directly with the resort?
The difference lies in what you don’t see until you arrive: equipment inspected before every delivery (not a generic batch), a local shop instead of a station counter, and everything — helmet, boots, fitting — handled in the same place.
And if something goes wrong while you’re at Aspen, you have someone to call, not a centralized customer service department hours away.

As soon as you confirm the booking, you’ll receive the store’s exact address in Aspen by email. You show up, try the equipment on in front of you, they adjust whatever is needed, and you leave—with no paperwork involved.
What if the plan falls through at the last minute or there’s no snow at Aspen?
What if the plan falls through at the last minute or there’s no snow at Aspen?
It happens more often than you might think. Every store in Aspen has its own cancellation or date-change policy, and you can see it clearly before paying anything — it’s not hidden in the fine print.
If your situation doesn’t fit the standard policy, write to us and we’ll find the solution that works best for you.
Why is the price reliable rather than an estimate?
Why is the price reliable rather than an estimate?
Because we compare several Aspen stores in advance, what you see when booking already includes equipment and extras, with no charges that appear later in the store.
I’m not sure what level to request in Aspen — how do I choose?
I’m not sure what level to request in Aspen — how do I choose?
Based on real experience, not on what you would like to be:
If you have never skied or it has been years since you last did — stable equipment designed so you do not feel intimidated on your first runs.
If you can already turn and brake without thinking — something lighter and faster for red runs.
If you ski down any run without hesitation — demanding equipment for those seeking control at speed.
If you compete or train seriously — slalom, giant slalom, or freeride equipment, only for highly advanced skiers.
And depending on how you like to ski
Piste skis for the usual runs, all-mountain if you combine groomed snow with outings off-piste, freeride for untouched snow, freestyle for the snow park, and children’s/junior equipment adjusted by age.
With your level and discipline clear, booking at Aspen takes just a couple of clicks.
Is it cheaper to rent for several days?
Is it cheaper to rent for several days?
Yes — the system applies the discount simply by selecting your start and end dates in Aspen. You pick up the inspected equipment on the first day and return it at the end, without having to visit the store on the days in between.
You can add extras (helmet, poles) to the same reservation, and if anything happens during the rental, you have local support to resolve it without losing a day on the slopes.

Is it worth checking the snow report before heading up to Aspen?
Yes, always—lifts open, snow conditions, and the forecast change from one day to the next. It’s better to plan with today’s information than last week’s.

What should I bring if I go to Aspen?
Check the weather before packing: you may need something more technical or waterproof than you expected.
If you’re going to Aspen during peak season, book your gear in advance — that way you can secure your size, rather than settling for what’s left.
Gloves, goggles (sunglasses and snow goggles), sunscreen, and several layers so you can adjust as the day changes.
With children: spare clothes and socks, plus something to eat so they don’t run out of energy on the slopes.
If you’re driving, check whether chains or winter tires are required for access.

Where can I rent skis in Aspen Snowmass?
Convenience is key in Aspen. CaranvaSports offers partner shops at the foot of the slopes on all four mountains :
- In Snowmass: In the Village Mall and at the base (Base Village).
- At Aspen Mountain (Ajax): Next to the Silver Queen Gondola, in the town of Aspen.
- In Aspen Highlands: At the base of the mountain, ideal for experts going to the Bowl.
- At Buttermilk: At the base, perfect for families and beginners (where the X-Games are held).
How much does a lift ticket cost in Aspen?
This is a crucial question. The Aspen Snowmass lift pass is one of the most expensive in the world . In peak season, the ticket price for a single day can exceed $200-$250 . It's essential to buy it online as far in advance as possible. The pass is valid for all four mountains (Aspen, Snowmass, Highlands, and Buttermilk).
What are the differences between the four mountains of Aspen?
Your ski pass gives you access to all of them, but they have very different personalities:
- Snowmass: The largest (more terrain than the other 3 combined). It's ideal for families and intermediate skiers, with long, wide slopes.
- Aspen Mountain (Ajax): The "people's" mountain. It has no green runs (not suitable for beginners). Famous for its black bump runs and exclusive atmosphere.
- Aspen Highlands: A favorite among local and expert skiers. It's wild, less crowded, and famous for access to the "Highland Bowl" (which requires a hike).
- Buttermilk: The easiest mountain, perfect for beginners and families. It is world-famous for hosting the Winter X-Games every year.
